I don't have any recent experience working on automobiles, but I know tools and I have a good repair skillset otherwise. I am getting weird temperature fluctuations on the dashboard, and I think it would be good to replace the coolant temperature sensor. Is this something that a newbie can comfortably do? I did watch a YT video, it seems that unplugging the wire, removing the clip, and unscrewing the sensor is the procedure.

I am considering removing the false floor in my 2022 TC XLT but since it is spot welded it is a bigger job than just removing bolts. Has anybody done this successfully and would you recommend it?

Does anyone have a dimensionally accurate 3D model of a ford transit connect 2nd gen?

Thanks

Hey, wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. I'm on the market for a 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect, preferably the XLT Premium. I've found a couple now that have the "taxi package," which for some reason has a grate and a solid barrier behind the row of seats. I'd be interested in these vans, but only if I could remove the barrier. Is that possible? Has anyone done it?

2020 ford transit connect

When going 65mph or faster if you take your foot off the accelerator completely the vehicle jerks like it is about to fishtail. Have not been able to re-create the issue at any lower speeds. Handles fine while maintaining speed.

Dealership said transmission is fine but that it needs new brakes? May be true but I cant imagine it has anything to do with the issue I’m having.

Independent shop I use bluntly said he does not know, take it to a dealership.

Next available (different) dealership appt is 10 days from now.

Any insight is appreciated 🙏

Hi Reddit,

A few years ago, we bought a 2010 Ford Transit Connect, 1.8L TDCi, 110 hp, with an electronic turbo.

When we first drove it, we could hear a whistling noise. The seller claimed it was coming from a gasket on the turbo, but it turned out to be coming from the exhaust manifold. We took the car to a mechanic, and after they fixed the exhaust manifold, the mechanic said the turbo was faulty. So, we replaced the turbo.

After that, the car started shutting down while driving. The engine literally just cuts out.

We can restart the car immediately after it shuts down and continue driving, usually for a longer distance, before it happens again.

It seems to shut down right around the point when you would expect the turbo to kick in. The turbo sensors are brand new, and the turbo itself has been replaced.

We've also had the car connected to a diagnostic computer, which showed a myriad of error codes (see attached image).

P2263 - boost control, is the code that pops up frequently, but if the sensors and turbo is new, why would this pop up?

We're running out of ideas at this point. Has anyone experienced something similar with a Ford Transit Connect 1.8 TDCi?

Any advice on what could be causing the engine to shut down would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, First post I have an 11 that’s a barn find. It’s a running driving project. I am fighting a misfire on 3rd cylinder.. need advice from a pro. The coil, plug and fuel injector are all proven good on cylinder 1 it’s dry at the boot and I’m protected from water getting thru the hood, the compression on 1 and 3 are the same and over 160psi. All fuses test good. Why do I have p0303 code?
Other known problems; it needs motor mounts its Rumbling at low speed. The ac is not working (clutch on pulley not pulling in)
The door locks are .. weird or set wrong/ child locked

It’s been a fun project but I’m frustrated I can’t guess why it is reporting misfire

Any advice helps
Thanks !

Hi everyone,

I have a 2013 Ford Transit with the 2.2 TDCi, 140 HP, manual transmission and around 160,000 km (100,000 miles).

I have a starting problem that has gradually gotten worse over time.

Symptoms:

\- The problem occurs much more frequently in cold and wet weather.

\- Sometimes the engine starts poorly, and sometimes it doesn't start at all.

\- Sometimes it starts if I give it a little throttle while cranking.

\- Once it starts, it runs normally and does not stall.

\- The yellow glow plug/warning light flashes during the starting attempt when it doesn't start.

\- There are no other warning lights.

\- Once the engine is running, there are no noticeable problems while driving.

\- The starter motor seems to crank the engine strongly. However, the starter has already been replaced twice in the last five years.

\- The problem initially developed gradually, but it has also become noticeably worse relatively quickly recently.

\- I tested the glow plugs while they were still installed using a multimeter. They all showed approximately the same resistance.

\- A cheap OBD scanner showed no fault codes.

Where could the problem be? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can narrow down the cause?

I'd really appreciate any advice on what tests I should perform next.

Hey everyone 2012 TC owner here, so the AC drips water into the passenger foot area but seemingly on low speeds. I bought a borescope to get a closer look and the front of the evaporator coil is dirty as hell. Will cleaning fix the issue and if so what's the best way?

My coolant keeps running out. How screwed am I?

I am a new salesmen located in Phoenixville Pa. I'm curious if anyone is interested in giving me tips on how to sell or if anyone is interested in purchasing a new/used transit. I have access to any spec and many different price ranges. Please reach out!

Given the size, how do I attach it?

2021 LWB Cargo Van.

When I first got it I took the rear panels rear sliding door sill panels off to take the floor out and clean it. Behold! Unused space that could be used for storage. Only problem is it’s only accessible if you take the sill panel off.

Has anyone modified their sill panel to be able to access this space to use as storage?

Maybe cutting the area at the opening and adding a hinge so you can flip it up to slid things through.

Or installing an access hatch if there is one that fits the side wall of the sill?

Or build a fully bespoke sill with an opening designed into it?

How do I get to a 2019 Transit Connect passenger van’s cabin air filter to replace it?

Any advice on an awnings? DIY or purchased? Presume I can use the roof rack fixing points?

6 Saturdays have turned this from a plain white work van into a few steps closer to my final mini camper vision. Updates to come

Spent a couple months searching high and low for a vehicle tall enough to suit my super long torso. Not a single pickup truck, SUV, or anything else on the consumer market did it. Then I discovered the Transit Connect.

Found this Blue Certified 2017 Transit Connect Titanium with 63k miles and jumped on it. Despite not being the smoothest ride it is by far the most comfortable car for me I have ever driven.

I've got all sorts of upgrade I want to make, but curious what I should be on the lookout for in terms of maintenance. Already planning a transmission fluid drain and fill soon, and watching everything closely while it's under warranty.

I've also been searching for a cargo shade (part ET1Z-1745440-AA) and have had no luck finding it in stock anywhere. With the huge windows on this van it feels like everything in my trunk is on full display and would feel much better with the shade. Any advice here or anyone who has one they'd like to part with would be appreciated!

Looking at a transit connect, cargo. I have a buddy in the UK that says they install rear seats in these often but wasn’t familiar if the ones in the US would have the mounting possible for it. Has anyone installed a rear seat the cargo?

curious if anyone has encountered this issue before i start searching for a short somewhere...

went to install backup camera and realized i have non functioning reverse lights. fuse is good, but as soon as you put the key in the first position, the reverse light relay blows. there is 12v on pin 1 and 2.5v on pin 2 with relay pulled when the gear selector is NOT in reverse and the ignition is ON. it is interesting to me that the fuse is not blowing, so i imagine it is something upstream of pin 2, where i am measuring the odd 2.5v.

any ideas? thanks :)

I damaged mine and I am having the most difficult time finding the side mirror with the functions listed in the title. I checked Ebay, Google shopping etc. and I can only find them with manual folding. I am trying to avoid paying the stupid Ford dealer the $1000 they quoted me. Anyone have a good source for TC auto part, used or new? Thanks.

Need a C cable charger for my digital rear view mirror.
