I have now a Ford transit with the same problem. Hard brake pedal. First thing, i think vacuum pump is failed. But, the vehicle had brakes. The ABS takes control, and brakes the van itself, pumping brake fluid. Thanks, Mr. Auto Fixer.

Hey 👋 thanks guy or watching! I hope you get ya van sorted out, do let me know what you find and what you fix 👍

[@jokinusubiaga]

@MrAutoFixer This morning, i removed the vacuum pump. opened it, and sure enough, the vanes are destroyed. So, my boss has spoken to the owner for replace the vacuum pump, the timing belt, remove oil pan and clean all. 156.000 km on the odometer, 2018 M.Y. is time to replace wet timing belt as soon as possible.

[@MrAutoFixer]

@jokinusubiaga well sounds like the usual suspect ! Yh belt should be done at the same time as the rest really defo give it a good clean out! Good luck 🤞

Have had 3 transits a mark 5 banana engine bullet proof engine then a mark 6 and finally a mark 8 with the 2.2. Also run a 1.0 ecoboom focus that destroyed its belt after 74,000 with full service history. When we change these vehicles it wont be with another fords or a vehicle with a ford engine. Rubbish design and I am trying to be polite. Who thought its a good idea to run a rubber belt though hot engine oil. On the transit with no servo like to know when the vaccum pump broke imagine it was on a motorway at 70mph and having to brake but not realising that it now more much more force on the brake pedal. Its a safety issue. Ford have to take some responsilbity for these engines but they wont.

Hey 👋 reading that I feel like you was holding back quite a bit! But yes you are right they are a bit troublesome and maybe when enough people steer clear from fords they will make some changes and better engines to get the customers back ? Who knows? Thanks for watching ☺️
