Bongo Fury

We have long (101mm) glowplugs in the van. do we have to replace like for identical like? can we use short ones instead? also can somebody tell us what voltage they should be.

sorry if these are stupid questions.
trying to prepare it for sale.

you could run into problems with the metal rail shorting

if you use shorter..thogh i seem to recal some one doing it

around 12.5 to 13.5 v

excellent just read on compatible parts that they the same as a ford ranger found a set for £25

Hi,
Heater plugs are generally rated 11 Volt.

Cheers..

Cheap glow plugs @ £25 a set, wont last very long, most recommend NGK as they seem to have the longest life span.

If you use shorter plugs then you will have to 'persuade' the injector loop rail so it doesnt touch the lowered glow plug rail, can be done quite easily.

Hi could you tell the manufacturer of the plugs?

Cheers..

hi not sure of brand but there on ministryofparts.com then look for ford ranger but justfound some ngk ones £6.55 each on mister-solutions part no. y-701j

I just got a set from Mr Solutions as spare. They are the real deal and you can get any length of NGK glow plugs that you want from them.

yeah goin to get ngk ones seem to have a good rep not a bad price either

Fit cheapos and this can happen - the missing bit rattles about in the pre combustion chamber

hello again i thought id just check with ngk to make sure i was getting the right glow plugs and that they were 102mm . this is the response i got any ideas folks

The advice you have been given is incorrect as we definitely do not have a suitable glow plug for the Mazda Bongo 2.5, so Y-701J is not compatible with your vehicle.
Sorry we could not be any more help.

Normal size NGK glow plugs here. http://www.mister-solutions.co.uk/index ... ion=search Mr Solutions sell many different sizes so they will have the larger ones too if you need them. I purchased 4 off them a month ago, they are the real McCoy.

Tony

Oops! I'm repeating myself. This is the first that I have heard that NGK did not make the larger sized Glow Plugs for a Bongo.

Tony

this is doing my head in i thought i had it sorted out then mr solutions reffered me to ngk technical and neither will tell me a part number that will work aaaargh!!!

I can confirm that NGK do not manufacture a 102mm plug. But you can get Blueprint ADK81801, Ford F1441267 or Nipparts J5718000.
