Since mobile phone holders are in short supply for the new amature board, I have designed a holder for the ventilation grilles above the switch lever and printed 3D. The block is only plugged onto the fan blades and stops without shaking. When operating the hand bale you can support it very comfortably on the switch lever. The insert for the phone is for an iPhone X/XS with leather case. But it is only glued to the ventilation grill fixture, you could also use another phone holder. If interest exists I upload the STL files in thiniverse.com.

For some time I always had a squeak in the front of the engine compartment. Continuously starting from approx. 2900 – 3100 U/pM.What overtaken and in general very annoying.It listened like a slippery belt. Today workshop date.Achievement: a new tensioning roller, a new multi-rib belt and the noise is gone and 306 Euronen also :-).

Hey people wanted to have questions about a transit year 2003 the TÜV is now due so it is even run out in December 2015 so I have to drive to the Tüv in the next 2-3 weeks now told me auto mechanics that possibly repairs of up to 1000Euro could be pending then it would still be worth keeping the car. My question to you the car has Euro 3 and a few kilometers is also not bad the engine runs well however are some things to do rust underbody, brakes, ra dhaus etc. it is worth to invest in the transit still 1000 Euro or rather sell. I am grateful for every tip or advice.

Hello, today it got us. My colleague drives on the highway (max. 130!!!) and suddenly the engine gives full throttle. He brakes, drives on the side strip and the engine chuckles something and goes out. Engine oil was now no longer in. We then towed the box to the workshop. The mechanic once pressed the starter – it sounded quite normal as when starting – but he didn’t jump on. From the noise one could have thought he got too little diesel and spri Since there is no more engine oil in it (stand is no longer enough to the bar) we start from defective turbo and possibly complete engine damage. Somehow the many oil, which was pressed through the combustion chambers, caused damage in the engine. It can not be compressed. Does anyone know where one gets used and complete engines from???? I still get the exact engine data from the workshop. A new engine exceeds the vehicle value. Me.

Hello together!! I have been the proud owner of a Euroline Bj 2011 for a few weeks! Now my question: Where is the additional battery? Lt. Westfalia additional description should you be under the passenger seat, but there is yawning void 😉 There are probably 2 batteries installed under the driver’s seat! Which is the additional battery?? Which consumers run over the starter battery (radio, light)? And where could I possibly connect a Cetek 5.0 MXS charger if I have somewhere for a few T age would like to stand incl. overnight stay and cooler??? The description does not help any further ;-( Maybe (determined) you can help me Thank you Grüß Gipfelzigeuner

Hello, in the model 2016 there will probably be a facelift – I guess the look will be Mondeo-like, i.e. the 2nd air intake disappears . further disappear the now not really beautiful mounted sliding door rails – the side windows become square and go completely up to the B-pillar – the tailgate will get an enlarged window – inside there will be another armarture board, with larger display, Klimatronic, Tacho like Mondeo and it will come the AUTOMATIC (see pictures r) I have read that the engine will be another, only 2l Maybe one of you knows more? 5 pictures on: http://www.autobild.de/…/…ie-die-autos-von-morgen-4553257.html?… Best regards

Hello dear community, would like to buy a Ford Transit camping bus. He just got new TÜV, with the note “ground group rusted”. Have taken a few photos “down front”. Do you find what you see in the pictures frightening? Or is the OK and for such an old vehicle (BJ 1988) okay? Thanks for any opinions and many greetings! alectronix

Hello my name is Jörg and our Ford Transit built in 2006, 2198cm3 as a camper needs a new starter. The following problem was creeping up. Every now and then the starter had difficulties to start. Slowly started and then became faster and faster until the engine started. At the penultimate time he needed to jump in for eternity and one had smelled it at some point. Nevertheless, the transit started well the next day. That was the last time he checked in. The starter only makes once more clack when the key is turned in starting position. Mass connection is ok, power supply from battery driver seat to the engine and up to the starter ok. Voltage over 12 volt. Power supply from ignition lock to starter is probably also ok, otherwise no crack noise would come. I now firmly believe that the magnetic switch does not let through any power to starter and would like to order the now gladly expand a proper starter. It’s a big cable that’s already loose, but is kept by a plastic tab that goes under the magnetic switch. There’s also another cable where I would say that this should be the cable of ignition lock. But this cable can’t be disconnected / pulled off. It looks like it’s firmly connected to the magnetic switch. Can that be?. I know it, that you have a cable with a cable shoe that is simply pulled off. I’m surprised that this yellow/green cable from the wire harness is firmly connected to magnetic switches. The thick cable can’t be removed from the screw either because of this plastic holder. Maybe someone can say more about this, be grateful about help. As it looks like, the starter is only screwed to gear with two screws and off it is then, or maybe someone also has a transit from you and has this too. The transit has dropped 125,000 and the starter is welcome to retire. I don’t always want to worry about whether the transit starts or not. Thank you for your help Greeting Jörg

No snow chains are possible with the 215/65 R16C tyres for reasons of space. Has anyone tried starting aids? See photo

We have a Ford Tourneo Custom (HSN 8566; TSN BRV004263; serial tyres 17 inches) and I’m looking for winter tires, on which you can raise snow chains. I don’t care about aluminium or steel rims. I’ve already scraped off the big online suppliers – there are no complete wheels, let alone with approval for snow chains. I couldn’t find a local dealer either. The snow chains have to be unfortunately, because we regularly go to winter sports and there is partly snow chain duty. Thank you very much for any help.
