Bongo Fury

I CHANGED MY 3 FAN BELTS, ALL DONE UP NOT TO TIGHT, NOW ITS GOT A NOISE? WHY I DRIVE OVER 1500 REVS EVEN IF I LIFT OF THE GAS NOISE GOES AWAY, SO I TOOK OF AIR-CON BELT, DROVE IT NOISE STILL THERE, THEN TOOK OF ALTERNATORS BELTS OFF, DROVE IT SAME NOISE! ON INSPECTION OF WATER PUMP I SAW SOME BROWN WATER LEAKING FROM WATER PUMP, SO IM CHANGING PUMP TOMORROW,

SO I F I CHANGE PUMP AND NOISE STILL THERE, WHATS MY OPTIONS OF WHAT IT COULD BE??

I WILL CHECK GEARBOX OIL LEVELS TOMORROW, AND WHAT OIL DO I USE? IS THERE A SPECIAL ONE FOR BONGO?

ALSO NOTICED EXHAUST BLOWING AND WHISTLING ON HIGH REVS, IVE READ OTHER POST AS SO THAT'S A EASY FIX.

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED, IAM MECHANIC AND MOT TESTER, BUT NEVER WORK ON A BONGO/FREDA OR FORD RANGER.

PLEASE STOP SHOUTING!!(Capitol letters)
Change the pump and bleed it properly......go to YouTube and search BLEEDING BONGOS.
Ignore this at your peril.

Exhaust noise is probably No 1 manifold stud bust

Could you be having the well known Bongo pulley problem. Have a pulley search on here for more details.

It's not totally clear from the description if the noise is proportional to engine revs or road speed. Perhaps it's so loud that's why there's so much shouting going on
