The wet belt fails on the 2.0 litre , Ford doing recalls. If it snaps Ford doing new engines. Also on this engine injector recall. Wet belts failing 100,000 mile short of change mileage. First sign of failure is extended cranking. Failed regenerations dumps diesel in the engine oil. Belts on 1.0 EcoBoost and Peugeot Citroen 1.2 engines failing. They lose rubber which gradually blocks oil pickups which causes low oil pressure and accelerated engine wear. All in all the " lifetime " fitment of wet belts make these cars a second hand nightmare and will lumber the owner with several hours of labour expense and a belt kit costing hundreds . A great leap backwards.
Hello, excuse my ignorance around this - I’ll admit I know nothing about it. But if I get the 2.0 issues such as the engine injector and wet belt replaced, should the issues be fixed, or will it keep happening? If replacements continue to be an issue, is it possible to replace them with different, more reliable model parts? Or do they have to be only 2016 Ford Transit Custom 2.0 TDCi? Thanks
@@yaturkeyneck7130 there is no guarantee. A customer had a new engine fitted as it had extended cranking and intermittent non start. It's doing it again and having a nightmare trying to get Ford to do something. His previous generation Transit basically rusted away and the engine was still going strong. He is looking at replacing his fleet of 10 or so Van's with VW's transporter with the 1.9 engine.
WARNING! Anyone attempting to change a tire on a 2010 Ford Transit should be aware that the Owner's Guide contains inaccurate and potentially dangerous information. This relating to the stowing of the flat/spare tire. On page 190 the guide states "Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing up towards the vehicle." If you follow these instructions you will find the tire will not seat firmly against the car body. It just dangles loose. The hazard this poses is incalculable but potentially fatal. The tire must be installed valve stem down as this video clearly shows. That Ford engineers thought this "Rube Goldberg" method of tire attachment appropriate simply defies credulity. "Stupid Device" is how Roadside Guy refers to part of it. NB: Ford should copy how the Peugeot 505 Wagon accomplished the same task; clever with simple and solid , nearly fool-proof engineering.
I was a big fan of the Transit having owned a 1984 van 30 years ago. Had a Mk7 in 2016 with history , but engine went after just 18 months of ownership, 8 years old with low mileage, A common problem apparently with the 2:2. I’ve heard that the later Transits have engine problems. I’ll stick to my old Vito.
They have crappy centrifugal oil pump and between 60 000- 100 000 miles engine die. No pressure. Upgrading 2.2 motor oil pump to older version save you big money.
You shouldn't need to replace the timing chain on the 2.2. It's reccomended that you should not follow the 25,000 mile service interval and you should change the engine oil more often.
These eco blue engines are dreadful. Just done an egr on one. The whole front end off. The t25 bolts that hold to egr cooler were siezed. Took me all morning to do it. Adblue malfunction lights come on for fun. This one the light is still on despite everything been reset and no codes showing up. Wet belts are prone to the teeth shredding. Especially when dpf regeneration is frequent. Best were the old 2.0 like a 2010 model
The boss bought a second hand one of these, (Been driving the older V7 and earlier models. Indestructible tanks that were often repaired with a hammer and tek screws.) and after getting used to automatic everything, front wheel drive, and a gazillion buttons and menu items, I now like the van. Pity the previous owner didn't mention that the front door latch sensors don't work, so if we unlock the van and don't at least turn the ignition to ACC for a few seconds, the van will auto lock and set off the alarm if any of the other doors are open. Too bad if the key is on the seat or in the ignition and the ignition is in the Off position, because we don't have a spare key on site. Damn thing self locks. Also, after decades of driving an auto vehicle, I hate that the non driver at Ford that programmed the Diver Information System seems to think that the hand brake should be off before putting the vehicle into Drive or Reverse, which is wrong as it is unsafe. Having the annoying beep beep and info pop up saying "Hand brake is engaged" is driving me up the wall.
Difficult to be sure with a remote diagnosis, but could be a blocked breather system, oil level far too high, or worn piston rings pressurising the crankcase.
anyone know the fuse number for the number plate lights on 66 plate twin door transit custom, its the 2.o ltr model, can't see it located in the manual. its same fuse as n/side central brake light which again i can't see. help lol
How do you remove the drink holder/ light control from a 2021 Ford transit as want to fit a switch for amber lights but can’t work out how to get into the area to run cables??
Great videos, bar one moan, background music way too loud, especially for folk that are hard of hearing. Even TV documentaries are very inconsiderate in this respect these days.
I you say contact local ford dealer for history on recall, My local ford deal tell me they have no way to check, because there is no "uk" wide data base with this info. Would that be a tall tail on behave of the ford customer service.
Hi Whynot096, The Blue smoke first thing points towards the valve stem oil seals. Black smoke all day - injectors/pump out of calibration. More details can be found in the manual which can be purchased from haynes.com/en-gb/ford/transit-custom/2013-2017
Hi ! Any additional guidance for the Tourneo Custom in the manual ? I presume everything is generally the same barring the rear door and the rear passenger seats - which is where I'm having some maintenence trouble.

Thanks for you comments, much appreciated. I confess that wet timing belts worry me...
@@HaynesManuals you'd have thought they'd have learned from from the lynx 1.8 tdci engines 2008 onwards that they were a bad idea
Remove your spare wheel from underneath the van, people are cutting the cable and stealing your spare, they had me. Mine lives in the back now.

Where is the stamped chassis number? 2018 not behind wheel arch
My transit 2015 blowing engine oil from the top oil cap what could be the reason. It didn't even over heated before it start doing this.
Difficult to be sure with a remote diagnosis, but could be a blocked breather system, oil level far too high, or worn piston rings pressurising the crankcase.
Will you be doing a custom facelift 2.0L ecoblue 2018+ anytime soon ? Thank you.

Although I'm not familiar with recent Ford practices/policies, they certainly used to have a centralised recall system in the UK.
whats he a boy scout ist day lol
My 2014 smokes all the time , blue smoke in the morning and black during the day? Any idea?
Hi Whynot096,
The Blue smoke first thing points towards the valve stem oil seals. Black smoke all day - injectors/pump out of calibration. More details can be found in the manual which can be purchased from haynes.com/en-gb/ford/transit-custom/2013-2017
i know that guy
Can you do a video on draining fuel filter please?
Thank you Haynes
Do you have a manual for the Hyundai i30 2010 with 1.6 petrol?
You can check if we have a manual for your car at the following haynes.com/en-gb/
good to know
I’ve just been told of a recall on my 2017 Custom, something about the timing belt, does anyone know what is potentially wrong?
me too
Hi ! Any additional guidance for the Tourneo Custom in the manual ? I presume everything is generally the same barring the rear door and the rear passenger seats - which is where I'm having some maintenence trouble.
When is manual for the mk8 transit going to be released?
Sorry, but we no longer generate new manuals. Check out our AutoFix product though!
Gearbox is liable to fail, well it did on the 2012 model.
This is the 2013-2018 model ?
@@herrbohnen

Probably because no oil very few people check now and dif on these very low so little lose of oil none in geArbox
