Ticking time bomb Engine wet belt why haven’t they learnt to get a chain back in it.

[@alessandro-on9zz]

won't be buying until wet belt is removed

[@andrew777au]

Great review. Thanks

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Thanks for watching!

[@masoodlol]

Amazing van love it

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Glad you like it!

[@JF-di1nr]

I noticed next to the hard buttons under the infotainment, the other section is blanked off…. Why not just put the AC controls there 🙄

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey - I think they'd struggle to fit them in that blank section. This entire unit is also transferred over to the Tourneo Custom and there are a few extra button in there - but not climate control. With the fixed climate controls along the base of the touch screen it does make for easy access and adjustment 🫡

[@susanmurchie]

Hi, have watched a lot of reviews on the new van and this has been the most informative, thanks!. wish still had option of physical dials for fan/heating etc on all new vehicles v having to touch screens, seems less efficient and less safe as have to take eyes off road to look at screen.

[@jetamotorsport8045]

Ive recovered two of these for engine faults in last week 😂

[@MrNunna]

F...O....R...D.

[@rogerfarrington8571]

have they replaced the wet belt with a chain .nothing but trouble.roger.

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey Roger - the diesel variant still has a wet belt, however this comes with 3 years/100,000 miles warranty. The 2.5L plug-in hybrid is not a wet belt, neither is the E-Transit Custom.

[@paulegner7653]

If you do 100000 miles over three years you are not going to be driving a plugin or electric van

[@alessandro-on9zz]

exaclty, they break after 3.5 years@@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup

[@jamesfin6039]

Does it still have the lovely wet timing belt ?

[@nigeats6733]

Well, looking at the comments previous to your comment on wet belts I would presume that is indeed the case. How I managed to deduce this as being the case was by reading the previous comments above yours. Wet Belt it is then, I presume...!

[@andrewbaker3975]

The rattle snake transit plastic fantastic

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

We were pretty impressed with the finished inside the cab - only the lower sections are the normal 'scratchy' plastics, but makes sense on the lower sections in utility vehicles.

[@AndySteele-wb2qi]

There will be a new shape Volkswagen Transporter T7 being released this year to be based on a new Ford Transit Custom

[@dxg999]

Behold, the VW Transporter T7.

[@micssticksnpipes]

The design of these vans is just going backwards! No engine improvement from known faults, no security improvements, No stay bars on the doors, grrrreat try standing next to that with your hands full in the wind! Looks like the steering wheel might come off when driving knowing Ford build quality. Vw is doomed

[@CL4SSiCS]

There's improved security features, ironic since you need to pay extra to get 😂

[@peterdutton302]

Big problem with the van in my opinion is there is no auto lock, despite it being in the manual. A real security blunder.

[@JPX1989]

Loud rattling engine, nice shifts but knocking, sticky clutch at times, leaky seals, no plastics over rear wheel, showing wirings... I'm afraid I made a bad choice.

[@MrNunna]

Maybe "the best yet"? Remember this is all from a Ford dealer. I don't think" the best yet" is saying all that much.

[@mikebarrett1004]

Wet belt……………all you dealers better be ready for serious returns…….. ( for all you sales people who don’t even drive these vans) need to be ready🥶, I’ve been driving ford vans for 40+years with no real problems (160,000) miles so far on my 2018 connect with no break downs and still has ORIGINALLY rear break discs and uses NO engine oil ………….

[@zoltrix7779]

This is fluff piece, i have driven this new one, some improvements, but the old one felt much tougher and solid.

[@accesszero4803]

Its lovely, but its a van , give us a van not a car . Before 5 years when all this shit starts to break whats the cost?

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

We think this has the best of both worlds. Comfort and practicality!

[@barrytemple808]

I’m afraid once van drivers get a taste of creature comforts there is no going back these vans were always reasonably priced to repair and will happily do 10 years hard graft if maintained !

[@paulegner7653]

Same crappy old wet belt engine. Most fail by 60000 miles .and repaired or not they are normally of the road for weeks and weeks waiting for parts .utter crap

[@danielmiller1781]

Ruined a good looking van and starting to look like every other van, wet belts ok as long as you service in at most half mileage Ford recommend

[@alessandro-on9zz]

i would agree but servicing a belt is expensive and time off road. stupid design FORD GET RID OF THE WET BELT NOWWWW @forditalia

[@rossbatterbury6658]

The best selling van HASN’T GOT BETTER! It’s got worse ! WET BELT WET BELT 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
