hi.can anybody tell me if they have renewed water pipes on the bongo, I had a look under mine around the gearbox area and noticed a few rusty pipes, some short ones and long. they seem pretty bad ,so I was wanting to renew them before I go galavanting this year,can you buy them, or can they be made up from something like hydraulic pipe, any help would be great thanks,

Try the Bongo Shop - see top right corner of this page look under coolant ! You don't say the vehicle type so .... but yes if you do a search others have the same problem and have replaced / repaired.

If you do this yourself be sure to bleed it properly.
This isn't an unusual repair so any Bongo Friendly garage can do it.

I've got some others as well, email me for details
[email protected]. But take a look at the Hoses factsheet in the members area so you can find the part numbers of the ones you need.
