i don't know if you will encounter the same issue when i bought a set of plugs off bongo spares the tops was abit short and the buzz bar wouldn't go back on so i put a nut on the stud first then the bar and then a nut to hold it on it help raise the bar so it doesn't hit the curvature of the engine alot easier to do than try and get bongo spares to send me the right ones they have worked fine since i done them
one minute in I'm thinking cheap glow plugs, quicker to test with meter for no continuity before throwing a battery across them. looking like this motor was done on the cheap to sell on, at least when you've sorted all the issue it should be a reliable bus.
No idea whats up with my 2003 bongo,petrol,automatic, I thouggt it was the starter motor,cos when i turn the key the lights on the dash come on but the thing wont start,i opened up.the ignition but cant see anything,it starts now and then randomly,when i muck around qirh the key in the ignition.....any ideas qhat ealse it mite be?
Hi mate i have a 2.5td bongo and hard starting when cold and cuts out sometimes also the cold start actuator never moves, i have taken the pipes off that go to the pump and no vacuum on any of them, am i right in thinking there should be a vacuum coming down from the solenoids to the pump to make the actuator move?
1st make sure you have a vacuum to the solenoids. Then test solenoids are working by putting 12 volts to them. You then should get a vacuum from the solenoid

Must have been a cheap set for three of them to go down. At least they are relatively simple to get to.
