  • Crankshaft disc torn off, engine damage?

    What about a Ford Tourneo Custom 2.2 TDCI 125 hp, BJ 2012 with 130t KM. The following thing happened: January 2023 the AGR valve was defective, was replaced cost point about 1000€ June 2023 broke down on the highway of the turbocharger and was replaced – because of spare parts lack I got the car back only in early October. Cost point 4000€ at the beginning of November then when I wanted to go off there was a loud bang in the engine room. Vehicle immediately drove up to the parking lot 1 meter since no warning lights went on. I noticed servo steering dead. Engine exhibited and looked. And saw the misere, the crankshaft belt disc was torn off at the vibration damper (rubber) . Since at the time I could not afford any more expensive repair (replacement parts were already at about 800€ since at the time only the originals of Ford were available. Car was then standing still 3 months. Then it was repaired and turned up now according to the workshop. Before the repair was to bring it to the lifting stage was not short and had not turned up the lift and then had to bring it back to normal.

  • Radio / Navi conversion to Android

    Ok new attempt! Hello now I have a Tourneo Custom and a few questions for a week now. The first would be you can convert the radio or nav to Android? If you are looking for something like this you will find some as it is built in, but with me is an indication of the passenger airbag and that is not to be seen or gone after the conversion. Does that still work? Or do I have a mistake in the car? That would be point 2 the radio can not be made louder, so if you want to make loud shows the disp The on-board computer shows no range and average consumption. So only strokes. The auxiliary heating can not be activated either. So tank full battery charged. Outside temperature below 10 degrees. You can also turn on a heater, but you can hear something there. Will it be warm when the engine is running directly? Front windows heating gets warm only on one side. fuses are both completely.

  • TC Diesel and timing belts in the oil bath

    Hello all, I would like to order the new Transit Custom Titanium X L2. I am interested in the diesel with 170 hp. Drive for many years an Smax tdci 2.0 WA6 automatic with 140 hp. So far 370.000 km without problems. We drive every year about 10,000 km on the holiday with it. All 100,000 km the timing belt with water pump is changed very cost-effectively (automatic before 200,000 km was reduced to 100,000 km). Now I read here the new Eco Blue motor a tooth belt Here you would have to choose the correct oil in the oil selection, which is also ok. The effort would be much greater than with the dry system and the future maintenance really must be done by experienced mechanics. Probably best because of warranty always with Ford. Does someone also run the predecessor model for many years and can report what about it? Sometimes there should be resolution of the timing belt with wrong oil and with the 1.0 liter engines smaller car many Moto Also the oil increase by diesel which wanders into the oil during short distance would be a topic. The whole thing makes me very unsure as a long-time diesel driver. Also, the topic Ad Blue with which many manufacturers have a problem is on the screen. Since I am a frequent driver, I am more interested in diesel and possibly AWD. But I also read much more positive about the PHEV. I am very happy about information.

  • Oil sprays and is in the balance tank.

    Hello, I have a Ford Transit Tourneo FAF6 BJ 2006. When I was driving I suddenly had power loss. So I stopped bonnet and sprayed everything with oil. Unfortunately, you could not see where the oil came from. On the oil cooler there is no oil at all. Is also a switchcar. What I had thought about. Oil cooler from the inside defective and some hose bursted. I do not know that with a cylinder head gasket the oil splashes around.

  • Clutch problem – barely switchable, suddenly buttery soft. Giver cylinder or something else?

    Moin came together, with my transit from 2008 hardly any gears could be inserted, came relatively suddenly. When shunting always had to switch off the engine for the reverse and 1st gear. Clutch separated therefore not reasonably assumed. The workshop says after a test drive: damage to the donor cylinder, and wants for it 450€ (somewhat strange with a 60€ plastic component?! the component is well accessible on the pedal.) including clutch ventilating. the clutch pedal is softer and the grinding point is clearly moved forward. Allegedly nothing was done, don’t know what the good man did during the test drive. So I have a very different starting position now, or can the problem still lie on the donor cylinder? (liquid does not come out by the way, brake fluid in the engine compartment on MAX) Suffocation test in the 3rd gear is working. The car tries to drive, although I had some worry If the coverings of the disc are perhaps worn out, however, chokes off. It seems to me to be a bit Spanish on suspicion for 450€ to exchange the donor cylinder. But also dare not drive me great with the box. Do you have further ideas? To the info: I am quite layman and had to read in the topic completely. Best greetings to you and love thanks!

  • Tacho spins light parade and full failure

    Moin people. My transe spins…On the 30th he didn’t want to jump on. So ADAC got it and start help. The yellow one tells me battery weakens. He also noticed that the battery light and the mkl hooked briefly after the start. Then he knocked on the tacho and everything was back to the old one. According to his statement I had a wackler in the tacho. At the fors nothing new he said. What he didn’t tell me was that I should absolutely go to the workshop. So I left on the 31st night… .naja New Year’s Eve party halt. Anyway after 30 km I noticed like on drive the km counter for the trips and so on dashed line jumped and at the same time my engine took no more gas. So I did it like the yellow and knocked. That happened then constantly. Then he went out in the middle of the ride and all the lamps lit. I rolled to the edge, took off the ignition and started again. He went to abs and it lit up. Then I kicked the clutch and he went out again. g 2 or 3 times and since then he doesn’t jump on even though he wants….I thought now either tacho out and control or vss at the gear? What do you say? And the tacho looks crass. Do you have tips like I should solve it best? Thanks people…..Transit mk6 09.2008 2.4 diesel

  • Ford Tourneo Custom L2 – Vehicle height / car park suitability

    Hello, we are looking for a new vehicle as a family of 5 and had the VW T6 Multivan, the V-Class and the Ford Tourneo Customin L2. The latter convinced us most of both the concept and the price. Only the design of the dashboard (any amount of buttons) and the rather small display screens fall behind the competitors and somehow remind us of vehicles of an outdated generation. One question drives us however massive around: the vehicle is relatively high – so probably the driveway in many parking garages is a problem, because at least in Aachen most parking garages indicate an entrance height of 1.90 meters. It would be nice if you would let experienced Tourneo-Custom drivers share your experience in this regard – is this really a big problem? Are you coming into the parking garages? Does the search for a parking garage usually design itself as a search for the pin in the H Theoretically, every parking garage with 1.90 meters from the race… Thank you for your help – we have somehow already closed the car to the heart and it would be a pity if it would fail now on these few centimeters… Greetings, Danny

  • Need help. Tax times Transit 2.4 TDCI

    Good evening. I urgently need your help. A transit 2.4 TDCI 100 HP from 2007 gets a new engine and only the block does not have a complete engine. I have already almost disassembled the engine and don’t understand it with the control times. I have never done anything like this before. In the description there is always talk of 50 degrees before OT where you should plug the adjusting pin in…..why 50 degrees before OT ??? On the flywheel is a place of about 5 cm where the teeth are missing, but the Sti ft fits between every tooth? The camshaft wheels have file for the OT make-up, but how can you just adjust it later. It’s the speeches of any make-up on the flywheel itself, measure the circumference of the flywheel etc. to determine the 50 degrees before and the OT make-up, I somehow don’t understand anything. I had to change before the engine block and install it again in the car without the head etc., because I didn’t have the gearbox removed (engine with crane removed from the gearbox) and then to install the head and everything else again. When the head is back on it I wanted to install the control chain etc. But how can I manage this with the control times. Somehow I don’t think the description in Etis is quite right, because the fuel punch has a make-up (with 6mm drill bits) but how does it stand doesn’t matter or? Is a high-pressure pump. Just don’t understand how I should adjust OT on the crankshaft, because the E instellstift somehow blocked in every tooth. I am going crazy. Can someone give me a hand?
