Bongo Fury

starting from cold engine sounds cluncky. can hear a sucking sound. after short time warmed up all ok?

and the engine type is .....

23/03/2000 auto free top , diesel , 2500, AT, side L S differential , 4WD, with hyper sea. From VIN plate thanks to you! PS what is hyper seat?
Lifted left seat looked in (first time) found rubber pipe blanked off (turned thro 180 black plastis clip) think I know what that is!

Hyper seat - could be something along these lines?

Although why anyone would want racing seats in a Bongo is beyond me. Unless you're a 6' 10" basketball player, then it makes sense.

I've always assumed its the flip seat/footrest behind the front seats ?

Lush Projects calls that flip/footrest (part no. 57-11X) a < µ?AIY > Whatever that is in English. LOL!

No its called failed translation The characters are a partial transliteration of the codes used in the original text!
When Lush Projects grabbed the original site (from Mazda parts mtce. manual) it was partially translated using the translation engines of the time which weren't that effective!

sounds like you have a vacuum leak, this controls the cold start solenoids during warm up.

ah.... a post about my original question thanks. the auto pre-heat has been disconected, has manual button to press, explains sucking noise?
i am looking for garage or gadget to do engine diagnostic its a year 2000 any advice?

Have you got the additional diagnostic port under the dash on the drivers side?

Not sure what year they started appearing. If you have one you're in luck - any OBD-II reader should work.

Pretty certain it was 2004 (possibly late) and till the end of production, but this is only going from dates that have been reported, so the start point is not clear.

port on drivers side. is it blue plastic? have grey box on passanger side. canot post photos tells me my pix jp are too big
