Ford Transit Fuel Filter Change Mk7

Quick and easy fuel filter replacement on a 2009 Ford Transit Mk7

[@Wit_Shunter]

When I did mine yesterday it started first time as usual and idled for ten minutes and I thought it was all okay. Then I tookj it for a drive down the road and after about a kilometre the motor stopped because of all the air in the fuel lines which I had not pumped out. Now I'm stuck with a diesel fuel line full of air and a Transit that won't start, and was hoping to find some instructions on how to get the air out of the fuel lines.

I'm going to replace the fuel filter. In my MK7-2007 year of construction, I did not find a water sensor. Was this sensor installed in all MK7s?

Late reply, but no I don't think it was.

Mine cuts out when low on diesel, keep it over or around half way and fine,, if the pump in the tank has a crak it suck in air,,,, had this on a 4x4

Ive got same problem did you ever find out what it was ?

[@TheRenovationProject]

Not yet. But the change of filter has made a positive impact and it no longer stalls. I need to get it in for a diagnostic, eventually.

Hi, not sure if you know, almost all if not all transits suffer from a blocked vaporizer in the DPF and mostly wont throw a fault code.

I had a similar problem with noise and lacking power and grey smoke and the smell of diesel , after checking all the usual suspects inc changing the injectors for a good re con set the problem persisted but intermittently , I then managed to get a new fuel regulator solenoid that fits in the back of the HP pump , ( these are difficult to get and took me 2 months to find one as they where never made for replacing ) it is about a 2 hr job without rushing and not too difficult to do , there is a guy on here that shows how to do it , I think his channel is Auto Moto , anyway it solved the problem and she’s been running good for 2 years , I hope this may help someone… My van was a Mk 6 2.0 Di not common rail and the pump was easy to get to from the front I think the Mk 7 is similar and I believe they make a replacement solonoid for this pump…. 👍

Mine does exactly the same, I've had it into a local truck and van centre, they plugged it in and could tell the SCV was operating properly, they advised me that it needed the cheapo MAF sensor that I fitted removing and a Ford MAF fitting the a series of PCM updates is all it needed.

[@TheRenovationProject]

This has been running way better since the filter change, but still a little iffy at times. i think I need to get the SCV tested too.
