Hello together! In this new “Fred” I would like to describe to you all “111 km” a small update to my new Ford Transit 125PS TDCi T350 Trend (box car, short wheelbase, with high roof). I wrote a test report about it yesterday. Now briefly to my situation: The vehicle is moved by me daily from Monday to Friday (approx. 330 km daily). Last year I came with my predecessor transit year 2008 (2.2 TDCi 110 hp T330) good 87000 km far. This is techni I deserve my rolls with the delivery of tires car spare parts to vehicle dealers and workshops. The first 1111km are already behind me and therefore – for the first time ever – I take a forum position on general pros and cons, of course always in comparison to my predecessor. Pro: – 6-speed circuit on the highway (low speeds) – low noise level – Radio CD 6000 incl. AUX IN (forerunners only simple radio) Contra: – Starting weakness (especially noticeable when entering Kreisel) – missing onboard computer (only rest of km display available) A sunny afternoon wishes you Drivethelife

Hello I should at the Ford transit of my father remove the cylinder head because I have to see if oil is in the cylinders. To the info the car has started smoking and did not go out the from the car house tap on defects turbocharger the oil pumped into the engine has now turns the engine no longer likely have turned it on again by the ADAC. To see if the engine still goes I have to come to the cylinders and see if oil is in then clean everything and against together Building. Now the biggest problem I am 16 and have almost no idea of car engines since I screw a lot of my scooter’n I trust all the to whom someone tells me what I have to do and what I need. Oh yes for those who want to say go to the factory town of the dare is year 2001 and no more to the best condition therefore it is not worth repairing it expensive. The mechanic appreciates only for opening up already over 1000 € then comes still turbocharger and again everything closes (If the Moto r goes. If someone can help me best guide and what I need I would be very grateful to him Another last question: Is it similar to a scooter who you have to get to the cylinder? Greetings Haeussler93

Non-binding lifer time 10-12 weeks. Greetings Christoph

Hello, has someone already tried the main-beam assistant at the Tourneo/Transit Custom? He is on my menu, but he has never taken the main-beam out or locked it. I have already tried different settings, but without success. Greeting Christoph

Good evening, have 2 questions: 1. How can I change the two wedges at my father’s transit? Have looked at this a little bit and with the little one there is no tensioner to see and with the big one already. However, you wouldn’t get the wedge belt by if you took it off because the tensioner sits directly in front of it. Must the tensioner down? 2. The vehicle had a fault in the AGR and air mass meter. AGR replaced air mass meter with brake cleaner cleaned. The vehicle runs Sporad As I said, sporadically and not always. However, if you speed up and keep the speed at approx. 2000 revolutions it runs quite normal, it is only in idle. I only renewed AGR and did not learn anything. I have also renewed fuel filters. If you had an idea what it could be? It would help me very much. Thank you in advance MFG

Hello, I have three batteries in the transit Euroline 2001. Had a total failure yesterday, could only be successfully bridged in the workshop. Reason probably: Coolbox one day. I thought so far for this the two additional batteries are there and protect the starter battery? Therefore the question: How are the switches on? Will I put a charger in place for camping, but to which battery terminals? Thanks and greetings, Rainer

Hello together, maybe one of you knows a link to a reasonable description of the preheater installed from the factory? I somehow can’t do that. Especially when manual “start now”. There is always only the message “additional heating in operation” in the display, but no warm air is blown into the interior. Unfortunately, the manual doesn’t give much on this topic… Greeting rorrb

Hi, I very probably wanted to order a new Tourneo Custom soon. However, I have a few small questions, which I did not really get answered in the brochure and also by the FFH. Actually I am ever a technique nerd, have unfortunately been strengthened with previous vehicles (not Ford) in my opinion, that the technology usually does not work as you thought it would. Workshops are overburdened with simple errors, even in the warranty period you do not want to Some functions that Ford now offers in this class have been in use for some time. Reviews without advertising statements can hardly be found. Therefore I wanted to put some of my configuration to the discussion. – We decided for a Titanium L2H1 in RaceRot. The long version because there is a little more space available and you can certainly sleep well even with the folded front row of seats behind if it is necessary. Red, because the color of I had to buy a Citroen Jumpy with automatic.The old model didn’t exist at the intended time, I don’t find the new model so successful, even if I like it. – Towing coupling A coupling can never be wrong. Unfortunately ́can the automatic version pull only 1200kg, why nobody knows. – Seat configuratiuon 35 : electric seats and partial leather Does this configuration make sense? Or is there an optimal one? 2-3-3 should this also include. In addition, a question: the seats are modularly expandable. Is it also possible to extend the 2 he seat so that the single seat remains to the right? This configuration is not defined in the brochure. I read here that the electric seats tend to flap and wobble. Since there is no memory function anyway, one is perhaps with mechanical seats better operated? – Side panes 2nd row: Hard I don’t think these mini folding windows bring much, at PSA there was heaped water. I also think that the car is easier to open through these windows? Are there any known problems? – Tyres / rims: Series 16″ Alu. I think that’s enough and offers more driving comfort like the 17″ models? How does the spare wheel make sense to the tyre flip set today? A spare wheel is available as standard. -Electric: 2 x 80Ah battery and 240A alternator In the brochure of the 240A alternator, there is an “-” for the Titanium; it is optional for the trend. Doesn’t this fit the engine in the Titanium, or is this standard? Is the dual battery system currently in production? Otherwise I will order it in any case. I assume that the start battery and peripherals are fed by separate batteries and the 2nd is charged or bripped while driving? This is particularly interesting with a stationary heater. -Ra finder Package with cigarette lighter: we are non-smokers, but does this equipment provide a 12V socket more? Where is the ashtray (mini trash can)? – 230V socket: I think it makes sense to have a 230V connection. There are many devices like laptop etc. Today this can’t be wrong? Or? – Stand-up heating: I had a 1st battery.System in Citroen C5. There unfortunately unusable, because after frosty night the battery was sucked so empty several times But the option includes a 2nd battery, so the system should work. What heating should they install? A Webasto? What kind of “remote control” do they have? Wireless or indoor timer? Is this part worth it? -View Package 3 with AudioPackage 40 . So the full system with all the games that Ford offers. BUT: Does it make sense? Does this Navi System do anything? After all, only a 5″ monitor is on the machine, which is still on the big vehicle. The brochure says that the rear camera is displayed in the Navi display, but it should be in the mirror, shouldn’t it? Can someone say something exact about the Navi system? Can you keep the maps up-to-date? Operating system? Are flashes databases available? Should one want to switch to a 2 DIN device, which convenience functions run via the “RadioModule”? Or can one “simple” install a 2Din device without the internal systems Is the 5″ monitor only used by the “Radio/Navi” system and for the internal systems the displays in the tacho area? I think I certainly forgot 100 questions, but for now it should be enough. I know it’s a lot of text, but I hope some of you can give me tips so that I don’t order anything wrong. I also got an offer from the local dealer. I say? laughable? Is the purchase price really so extremely high that a medium-sized dealer with about 5 branches can not make a “marketable” price? If you are looking for the model, for example, mobile.de, you rarely get over 37,000 Euro(gross) even with fully equipped models. Separate dealers sell however older vehicles for 45,000 Euro (partly used)… The offer of my dealer was in this area, he thought he could not give higher discounts! I would like to buy locally, but the competition is very large. If I lease the vehicle e.g. (private) I pay almost 250 euros (gross) per month at 10% down payment, in total ích lie at 38,000 euros if I should buy the car later as a total price. Sincerely Andreas

Hello together, I recently got a motorhome on Ford Transit basis with 2.5D engine with 74KW from 1994. When buying (from private) I was told a consumption of 10-11 liters, but after our Sweden vacation the astonishment was great. The cut-through at about 4000 km was 16 L / 100 km! Since the Womo also has no environmental badge and also does not get got me the idea that maybe a newer engine could solve the problems consumption and plaque. Therefore I would like to ask you if it grun In addition, it is possible to install a newer date engine with better consumption values in transit ’94? Thank you very much and best regards Tom

Hello! I am interested in this car. Is there a forum Ford driver driving this “truck”. What is your experience?? Thank you Bertiewb
