  2. Last week
  3. Fun fact: there no punctuation of any kind in OP's post.
  4. David, I was wondering if you ended up doing this conversion and if you could share your experience and any photos? I'm considering buying an XLT as decent used cargo versions are hard to find in my area atm.
  5. When am driving my ford transit connect 2012 especially when am on low speed or am climbing hill the suddenly my speed reduces and a code is thrown. Sometimes my dashboard odometer display will go blank for awhile and come back on. On pressing the gas paddle I feel the engine run more fast but no output in wheels. When I used OBD2 reader it tells me output speed sensor and low temperature. Would I need to just change my output speed sensor on my gearbox only or what can I do to solve the problem. Also when am climbing small hills to sometime my engine overheats even thou my fans are working.
  6. It sounds like you need to scan the computer for codes. Radio, speedometer, gauges, heater..... Possibly related to the body control module. Refer to the owners manual. Check the fuses for the body control module.
  7. Earlier
  8. I got in my connect 66 plate Saturday no radio no gauges no speedometer no heater after a while it all came back this morning all gone again disconnected the battery for over an hour still the same is it the radio unit or the front that’s at fault as I don’t want to waste money if there’s a fix I can do
  9. Did the mechanical swap about two years ago . I used an SCT tuner and the Advantage racer software to get rid of all the auto related codes . It dives nicely for anywhere between 15-50 miles and then goes into limp mode . Tried to figure out what's not happy with Forscan , it really helped . Forscan let's you see codes that don't show up on other tuners / readers. There were many u-xxxx codes , lost contact with other modules . Then a few months ago I found a duratec manual trans focus zx3 . Now it's time to swap all the harnesses, modules ,cluster, cable driven throttle body etc. The real beauty is this will get rid of the Sync system. The speed sensor has to pass through APIM - accessory protocol interface module, on the transit it part of this Sync garbage. I plan to document it all on here so stay tuned .
  10. Wow! Amazing. Can you recap for us, the project timeline?
  11. I was on here a while ago and got the mechanical swap completed . I tried everything available to keep the original pcm , but it's not going to happen. Too many obstacles as far as Sync , body modules and lack of similar pcm settings in other ford products with similar pcms. So I am swapping the entire harness , modules , pcm, cluster , throttle body , egr manifold-or modify stock on this transit connect to a 2005 pzev duratec manual zx3 Focus gear .
  12. Just bought a Ford Transit Connect Titanium 2017 with 60,000 miles. Really like it so far. Tons of space compared to out 2004 Dodge Caravan we bought new in 2004 and just sold last week after buying the Ford. Lots of headroom and like the seating set up much better than the Dodge. Had lots of problems and would never buy anything Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or made by the same company again. Lots of little things that should have been repaired by dealers and never would. So far Ford has looked at a few little things that I looked up and they said no problems found and they would fix them if they did find a problem. How do you update the navigation maps in the dash system without paying a small fortune? It looks like the previous owners never updated anything as it is showing last update right after van was sold new. And is there anything else I should be looking for? Thanks
  13. I guess nobody is worthy of his intellect. In a way, I'm glad that I don't deserve it.
  14. Please can anyone help me with a video of where to locate my output speed sensor on my ford transit connect 2012 model?
  15. Lost in transit filter is on...🚫
  16. Oh, he's back https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=224657 https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=226757
  17. I wonder why this guy even bothers. After he posts a bunch of stuff, he goes back to delete everything.
  18. Yep...I just discovered the same thing (and I'm in the US, so it seems it's not specific to Canada anymore). A whole lot more of a commitment to have to cut it rather than just unbolt it. Now I need to decide if it's worth doing as there's no going back.
  19. Hello, I have a 2016 transit connect with the 2.5L gas engine, where did you get the manual transmission and parts? I have an automatic and just broke down a few days ago. I've been wanting to switch to a manual for some time, looks like now is the time!
  20. I think the OP is asking about full size Transit vans, not the smaller Transit Connect. This forum is only about the TC vans.
  21. Originally, all vans were imported to North America as passenger wagons. Then the seats, door glass, airbags, seat belts, etc., were removed. So it should be the same HVAC system, minus the duct work and vents blowing to the 3rd row seats. I'm not certain if the configuration for cargo vans has the floor vent under the driver and passenger seat which blow hot air to the 2nd row passengers' feet, or the cold air vents in the "B" pillar behind the driver and passenger doors. The HVAC system itself, should be the same fan, heater core, AC compressor, AC condenser, AC evaporator, etc. For commercial use, there are rooftop cooling systems. If you are building a camper van with a cargo van, there are rooftop fan and vent options. Hot air rises. Cold air sinks. A fan and vent should release heat, and circulate the cold air. Some are designed with a thermostat switch so that it activates as needed. https://youtu.be/fNNSVDdzUv4?t=95
  22. Does the transit passenger wagon and transit trail have the same climate control system? Other than the fact that the passenger wagon has vents in the back? Or is the system in passenger wagon more powerful? What I am trying to get at is the system in a cargo van strong enough to cool the entire van.
  23. Here are a few videos which might help you.
  24. Go to another mechanic. A decent mechanic doesn't just put in a can of refrigerant and quotes $2,000. Assuming that the compressor is working, and not busted, how does the mechanic know that the source of the fluid loss is at the condenser? The AC system has a compressor and a condenser. Although either or both parts can fail; there could be a leak, or multiple leaks, in the lines or at the fittings. A tracer dye may help with finding the leak. In some cars. Fuses blow and relays go bad. Look for a mechanic who will do a little more diagnostics. Some shops specialize in air conditioning.
  25. Hi all! The AC on my not-that-old van's not working and a mechanic has declared it to be a "busted condenser and dryer." The intermediate symptom was very low refrigerant pressure, so they diagnosed the bustedness after refilling it. Anyway: has anyone experienced a "busted" condenser? Is this a typical thing for these vans and if so, is there an understanding of why? The mechanic didn't have a great explanation for how this kind of problem could develop... but I'd love to learn more, 'cause he wants >$2000 for the fix arghhhhh 🙂
