Our first thoughts on the BRAND NEW 2024 Ford Transit Custom!

[@richardzedman1160]

was thinking of buying one till i was told about the wet belt issue and all the engines that have been failing

[@RIPPERTON]

Just get a 2014 model with a chain cam. 550,000km on original engine.

Just bought one of these new vans. Four days old and all the screens have gone blank and no gps. Turns out ford service say it’s a known fault on certain longitudes that the gps don’t work. No fix though. Currently have this van with 200miles, four days old, no speedo, no gps,no trip and settings won’t save and store. £50000 and my seats have a label that says “low cost” written on it. Underneath not paints or undersealed and electrical connectors in wheel arches that are not water proof or even sealed. This vehicle is the biggest pile of rubbish and over priced. If I could return it I would.

The van looks better but it still has the wet belt. That's the reason I steer clear of them

[@uniteallaction]

Yeah it's good to know if something breaks they've got to take the whole engine out.

[@paddymuppy]

It definitely doesn't look better than the previous. It has zero road presence

Bought a limited 5 weeks ago. Had constant problems so I took it into ford after 2 weeks. They gave me a courtesy van while they done some checks. After nearly 3 weeks of emails and calls I finally rejected my vehicle. I thought that I'd just bought a lemon until the courtesy van packed up aswell. Ford has left me with nothing. Stay well clear.

[@highflyer-skyfpv6531]

I'm afraid Ford is now totally tainted by the wet belt issue and the way they deal with it (or don't deal with it) I really don't know how they will recover from it. The EV Transit will only push them further down that unfortunate path. Enough said

[@davidgrainger-tm1ko]

wet belt nuff said

[@uniteallaction]

To be honest it looks like a Peugeot

[@uniteallaction]

Yes, the older models growled, this one seems to be purring.
