Ford Transit water pump replacement.

Working on my 2005 ford transit. spotted some coolant fluids under it. Unfortunately had to repair it on the coldest day of the year. Straight forward job in theory but access is awkward. Follow me as I hopefully help you out and maybe you'll be able to do it better.

Great job Michelo. Modern cars can be a pain to work on as everything is so compact but your job looked not too bad. I used to carry jockey wheels and tensioners in my van for the Scania buses as they had a habit of throwing belts and it was always either the jockey wheel or tensioner. Doing water pumps on them were a piece of cake lol. Hope your well buddy, all the best, Sean

Appreciate the comments, top man. Van running lovely, just had and MOT and required some welding.

@michelod.i.y.5202 our fleet maintenance vans at work are 69 plate transits and from day 1 they have been totally unreliable, and all 4 of them have had new engines fitted after the wet belts failed. Other than that they drive nice but they are now on borrowed time as we have new electric Tototas getting fitted out and we're not looking forward to them 😒

@@BMCMOTOUK don't get me started on the latest ford products, would not touch with a barge pole, Land Rover the same any thing that uses a Ford engine.

@michelod.i.y.5202 I believe our Transits were built in Turkey and it only affects certain models with the wet belts. Ford used to be the best vans out there but over the last few years they have went downhill, probably because of the pressure's on manufacturers to make cleaner vehicles is to blame

@@BMCMOTOUK definitely, and that 1.0 litre eco boost engine 😭
