Bongo Fury

Hi All,

I'm still having problems sorting out my turbo problem.

The unit went 'bang' and its going to be a long wait to get it replaced at a garage.

I have sourced a 2nd hand unit, which is what was/is on offer at the garage.

I still can not find any information on how to diy.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction so I can suss out how its done and be able to decide if its worth having a go?



Cheers

i will let you know shortly, taking chells off as we speak.bl**dy no1 exhaust manifold stud.

if you have a spare i would swap it yourself. if you can wield a spanner and socketset with a slight degree of competancy it is a very easy job, just unbolt all the offending mountings and that heatshield and its quite straight forward. use plenty of plus gas on the bolts the night before starting to ease removal of the rusty nuts.

Wilco.

Bear in mind it's part of the cooling system, so you'll have to either clamp the coolant hoses or top up afterwards, either way it'll need to be bled properly, other than that, I can't see it being too complex - http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html
