Salvage Rebuilds has had 2 Ford engines rebuilt by a firm in Essex they specialise in rebuilding these engines think they are kept very busy. Al is an old school mechanic only replace if it's knackered, very few mechanics left now just technician's plug in and throw parts at it. Poole Diesels in the 80/90s were very good when i lived near Poole he used to have lots of Taxi and fleet customers.

FORD or as we knew them in my last job 'Fix Or Repair Daily' - We had a fair few issues with our Transits. In my current company we have Vauxhall Vivaros (Peugeot Partners in disguise) and to be honest even with the problems with the Transit in my last job this van in my opinion is worse. A notchy gearbox, terrible turning circle and power steering that seems to have forgotten the word power in the title (However this could just be my van). The van is too bloody small as well compared to the previous model Vivaro which I also drove and my previous Transit. Still musn't grumble.

I had a Land Rover with the 2.4 transit engine and was told by a mechanic to never let it labour and keep it about 1700rpm or so just always go down a gear when needed to prevent the engine doing this, is this true? I never had any bother with it, just seals on injectors….. in fairness I got rid before 80k.

@6DDIESELSDorset Жыл бұрын
They tend to drop the ohm’s on the electric valves ( injector) causing it to over fuel when decelerating. Washing the cylinders out . This set tested fine on pattern and leak off . Ohm’s return should be 200 we had 20,30,50, and 190 . And sadly that’s all that’s available 👍

@plllot9713Ай бұрын
because the old engine was what? 85 horse? what's the first thing people do nowadays buying a second hand van they don't know nothing about how it's been maintained? yeah, correct, they go for a re-map cause they absolutely need that 160 horses. I've got a 2.2 puma in my 2007 boxer van and it's currently getting to 190k miles. the thing is - it's a 100 horse version and I never intended on changing that. the problem is, they don't have very efficient injectors. so in order to produce more power they have to extend the injection times. the longer the fuel is being injected, the longer it heats the piston in case the injector wears out over time and hasn't got the perfect spray pattern. this leads to piston melt downs or cracks. they are simple engines and capable of high mileages but not high power outputs. so if you want it to last as long as your old 2.4 - bring the power down to 2.4 levels and enjoy trouble free use.
