Bongo Fury

hi everybody,if anybody saw a white tin top on m25 between j5 and j6 on sat pm it was me!
me and the wife had just returned from honeymoon and were on way home when the bongo
gave a horrible death rattle then spilled its guts all over m25.
£150 later to remove it from motorway we then get told £500 to recover back to norwich.

moral is get full breakdown cover!
it may cost you a bit but its cheaper than independent recovery companys......!
and hindsight is a wonderfull thing.

any hows we are home eventually,and we now have a dead bongo,does anybody know of any other engine that is the same as the 2l petrol thats fitted????

any help greatly apreciated

at least i have a tan!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear your bad luck. I think it is the same engine as Mazda 626..... can anybody else verify??

Enjoy the tan

as far as I am aware it is the Mazda 626 FE 2.0L engine

FE Enginr

The 2.0 L (1998 cm3) FE has a square 86 mm bore and stroke. It was available as an 8-valve SOHC and 12-valve SOHC. Outputs are 90 hp (66 kW) for the 8-valve 1 barrel carburetor version, 100 hp (74 kW) at 5600 rpm and 156 N·m at 3700 rpm for the 2 barrel carburetor version, or 118 hp (88 kW) at 5300 rpm and 178 N·m at 3700 rpm with fuel injection, 12-valve SOHC and higher compression (10:1 vs 8.6:1).
Applications:
1983–1991 Mazda Capella/626
1985–1987 Mazda B-Series
1985–1999 Mazda E-series
1981–1990 Mazda 929

Yep... What he said! Sorry to hear of your breakdown and associated mither! Have you simply been towed home? No investigation as to what caused the failiure?

I still wonder if it is cheaper in the log run to underwrite your own breakdown costs?

I have been giving various organisations money for over thirty years and only once needed them when I conked out as a delayed result of an alternator problem (the 'no charge' warning light didn't function with this particular fault).

That, however, was before I drove a high risk vehicle called a Bongo!

what a sickener, hope you honeymoon went better,

hope your on the road soon.

I should imagine it would be 12Volts as I have never heard of an 8Volt engine....
