Great guide and communication about Transit Van

[carmanbazza]

I was a big fan of the Transit having owned a 1984 van 30 years ago. Had a Mk7 in 2016 with history, but engine went after just 18 months of ownership, 8 years old with low mileage, A common problem apparently with the 2:2. I’ve heard that the later Transits have engine problems. I’ll stick to my old Vito.

The boss bought a second hand one of these, (Been driving the older V7 and earlier models. Indestructible tanks that were often repaired with a hammer and tek screws.) and after getting used to automatic everything, front wheel drive, and a gazillion buttons and menu items, I now like the van. Pity the previous owner didn't mention that the front door latch sensors don't work, so if we unlock the van and don't at least turn the ignition to ACC for a few seconds, the van will auto lock and set off the alarm if any of the other doors are open. Too bad if the key is on the seat or in the ignition and the ignition is in the Off position, because we don't have a spare key on site. Damn thing self locks. Also, after decades of driving an auto vehicle, I hate that the non driver at Ford that programmed the Diver Information System seems to think that the hand brake should be off before putting the vehicle into Drive or Reverse, which is wrong as it is unsafe. Having the annoying beep beep and info pop up saying "Hand brake is engaged" is driving me up the wall.

You shouldn't need to replace the timing chain on the 2.2. It's reccomended that you should not follow the 25, 000 mile service interval and you should change the engine oil more often.

WARNING! Anyone attempting to change a tire on a 2010 Ford Transit
should be aware that the Owner's Guide contains inaccurate and
potentially dangerous information. This relating to the stowing of the
flat/spare tire. On page 190 the guide states "Lay the tire on the
ground with the valve stem facing up towards the vehicle." If you
follow these instructions you will find the tire will not seat firmly
against the car body. It just dangles loose. The hazard this poses is
incalculable but potentially fatal. The tire must be installed valve
stem down as this video clearly shows. That Ford engineers thought this
"Rube Goldberg" method of tire attachment appropriate simply defies
credulity. "Stupid Device" is how Roadside Guy refers to part of it. NB:
Ford should copy how the Peugeot 505 Wagon accomplished the same task;
clever with simple and solid, nearly fool-proof engineering.
