[@t_kiwi8144]

People not watching until the end are the same people who constantly keep making the same mistakes, cheers for the video champ, I watched till the end ; )

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

hahaha great mate.

[@marcjames7910]

Had the same problem with my own transit van. Excellent video it all makes sense, everyone take his advice you need to take the time to diagnose the problem.

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Mate so CORRECT your the first Person to get it..... Well done

[@kenoneill9131]

Id have a beer with that guy!!! We have had loads of pieces swapped out without proper diagnostics. Now we have garage similar to this guy, straight up and to the point. Don't want some bull answers rather have it straight. This might solve our problem but will check first and let you know. Thanks

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Thank God...hahhah, Perfect

[@tomfewins5803]

Fair cop . And well done for putting the answer at the end! I changed a fuel pump to find out the solinoid was faulty. What a plonker. Had fuel tank out , fuel filter changed but no start. Had checked solinoid for voltage but not (the other test) just bought new solinoid for 5 bucks as no harm in trying. Started first time run perfect since. Definitely worth fixing.

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Well done Mate..

[@bettyourcampervan]

Cheers for this video! I am having the same issue with my mk7, air in the fuel line, here in the UK! Hopefully the mechanic will sort it tomorrow 👍

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

all good, They are NOT all the same....... Need to take time to diagnose correctly other wise you will just chuck parts into it.

[@Pulsed101]

Great video! I'm considering a 2013 2.4 with 175k km. Seller has just replaced the injectors. ✌️

[@CarlosVirreira]

Did not help me but I appreciate the video and the time invested in it. Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

is there anything in specific you need help with?

[@zsoltbeni7135]

That was a fair comment and explanation at the and so hats off to you Helped me quite a lot this video...so cheers

[@keithsale6417]

Have the same problem, air is entering fuel system. Check by putting clear line on return line back to fuel filter. Replaced fuel filter and housing and the injector return seals. Pressurize system and look for leaks. I cut used the old filter housing fitting and attached clear lines to see where air was coming from. Im not sure if the sending unit has a pump built in, but this problem is could be avoided or exacerbated due to air not being replaced by fuel

[@JuanPerez-zf4fu]

Como hingos le entiendo si esta en ingles .

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

i don't understand what you are saying.

[@russellphillips6461]

ive had transits since day one..... genuine parts and oil and filter every 4.000 mile and they stay good for ever....never let them run low on diesel and always use a genuine fuel filter....

[@johnyoung4467]

Just came across your channel mate. Very interesting. Keep up the good work!

[@TomMoston]

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. Ignore all the Muppets that didn’t watch the video to the end, then were quick to slate you for somehow trying to keep a secret. Ignore them and thank you for you content!

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Hahahah. No problem. this video is very old now But still is helpful for me

[@cornflake3344]

Ford witchcraft with the filter housing is what is the problem, the return from injectors re joins the housing and joins the inlet through the housing causing air to keep circulating to the pump , your a wizard fella

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Hahahha. not really

[@TrailVapor]

where is the speed sensor located on the 6sp RWD transmission on Ford Transit LWB 2012 T155 2.2L? Van goes into limp mode at 40mph with TCS dash light flashing. Diagnosed as wiring/faulty VSS, because (when goes into limp mode) all 4 wheel speed sensors report speed but VSS reports no data (0 mph).

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Replaced the ABS control module

[@vk6xcj]

Hi can I ask a question,, I don't know much about the Ford transit van but I seen one on market place, he said it needs a new fuel pump, I wonder how much that would cost to fix up?? It's 2005 diesel

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

i Dout it needs a fuel pump

[@vk6xcj]

@@PTPrecisionAutomotive it done 379k OK thanks for your APROX info I know in my mitzubitzy Delica about fuel pumps and the costs involved ,, mine is OK but eventually it will be on the blink. ... I guess it would be the same.. But you say you know it could be 50 other things, was just going on what the guy has told me...

[@vk6xcj]

@@PTPrecisionAutomotive thanks for your info, obviously you don't give out free info on a average cost price..

[@julianmorris9951]

Any suggestions for this, was driving my mk5 transit when it just stopped, the collar had worked loose and the fuel filter had fallen out and was on top of the starter 🤣 So I’ve put a new filter on having filled it with diesel, cracked the injectors and it started right up, van seemed great until I tried to start it next day and I thought oh god it’s sucking in air😱 I’ve had weeks of trouble, even put a new lift pump on (clutching at straws) got another fuel filter housing but still same problem!!!!! It’s at the stage now where I get it started and it eventually sucks so much air in it stops after about 20 mins ticking over ☹️ all that happened was the f**cking filter fell off!!!!!! Van was great before that!!! I was a panel beater for 25 years and have always done my own mechanical work as well and these old transits are pretty simple!! I just as well have a zip on the fuel filter housing and everything else!! It all points to the fuel filter and I feel like raffles trying to crack a safe now🤣

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

you need to do a injector leak off test. and test pump pressure and relief valve

[@julianmorris9951]

@@PTPrecisionAutomotive thanks for the advice, I’ll try and get that done in the next few days!! this van is killing me slowly 🤣

[@keithsale6417]

The air in the lines accumulates you really need to spend the time removing the air first and then watching to see where it is coming from. I deleted the return to the fuel filter. Running the leak off lines straight back to the tank. This way air would not circulate back to pump via filter housing. Still not sure where air is coming from. Either leaking in on the injection pump, the lines or possibly combustion air somehow forcing it's way back up the injectors to the leak off lines..??

[@paintinout3709]

Hi where is your garage please?

[@MikeCCO]

Good on yer Cobber

[@wfdTamar]

Hi. You should edit out the bit in the middle where you say you won’t tell. Looking at a 2005 2.4 Transit done around 100k. Are these not worth the bother? Should I stick to Sprinter or Fiat/Renault?

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

People need to learn to watch the whole thing [not just short cut....] Sprinter would be the pick But Transit over every thing else.

[@paintinout3709]

I have a Mk6 2.4 I whant to bring it to you to fix it please

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

hi there. That's ok 1/2 Paton Place Balgowlah

[@chrisgulwell8294]

Not going to tell you how I fixed it. These videos are always a guide and it good to see the diagnosis. Bit of a plonker

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Watch till the end.

[@TomMoston]

I don’t think that is a fair comment at all. He’s gone out of his way to make this video to try to help people it’s not that he won’t tell you how to fix it. It’s that he changed a whole load of different parts while he was doing a job and some one of those fixed the issue. Be fair and credit where credits due!

[@Vortex493]

i had a mechanic say he couldnt diagnose the problem because my van wasnt allowing him to read it.

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Not all scanners will work on Transit's ,

[@jackmorris5546]

Try switching the engine off so we can hear you dah …

[@paul914]

You want to do a video but dont want to tell us what you fixed? !!

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Watch it till the end

[@paintinout3709]

Tel me wat you did please I have the same problem

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

watch till the end of the video at around the 4min mark. . These transit's have many issues you must diagnose .... first.

[@frankbellamy9405]

Can’t even tell any one how you fixed problem some bloke

[@kyzzzzaa195]

Wat you mean mate he had clearly stated that the problem is completely different across the bord. I think it was a great video and very helpful.

[@Techumsa]

All I could hear is the engine and the odd word

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

sorry about that no one else has said this ???

[@trana5326]

@2.33 What!!

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

watch the whole video

[@bigfella6629]

Would of told the owner of the transit to drive it into the Harbor...lol

[@Horriblebastad]

Why? Harbour has a U in it.

[@richardtetsill1401]

What was the point of going through with this video, and not telling us the proble , a waist of time

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

You obviously did not watch it till the end.

[@JoseGonzalez-rh3we]

It's a ford. What do you expect.

[@smithenstein79]

It’s not just ford vans that have these issues. Pretty much all common rail diesel van range out there have similar problems I can assure you.

[@abbamninson9952]

The engine just stop

[@melovclock2009]

Won't tell anyone how you fixed it why watch your videos 🤣🤣

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

watch the whole video mate . i put extra up so you can waste your money.
