Bongo Fury

Hi, our new bongo has a squeechy whistly type noise on start up and for a few minutes, I wondered whether this was the fan belt?? Anyone any ideas and can give me a heads up if this is in fact a fatal issue?

could be

could also be front most stud on exhaust is broken as thats very common

as said above, do a search (top right tab) and enter key words, no 1 manifold stud,that may help.

Manifold stud will sound a bit like an angry budgie under the passenger seat,

Hi check the tension of the belts,also check the side profile of the belts for wear and glazing.

Cheers..
