Hi All! I have a 2013 Connect with the front seat that folds flat. Has anyone managed to retrofit ISOFIX and if so what adapter/bracket did you use? The attached image seems to be the best option I can see so far. Does anyone have experience with this bracket? Thanks!

There are several youtube videos on the subject. The filter is accessed from the passenger side and it's behind the center console. Filters are available on Amazon. If you have a rear climate control, you have another one under the driver seat. Looks like an upside-down bowl. This filter is a little harder to find. Probably ford parts.

If the problem was the caliper, why wasn't it replaced? ABS problems should throw a trouble code your mechanic can scan for.

Good optics.

I had a little shop time so I installed SF Racing adjustable struts, shocks and springs and picked up some 18x8 Volvo S80 wheels for the TC. Also previously tinted the windows and whited out some of the vinyl side trim. I'd like to paint the bumpers white as well. Maybe this summer I will find time to work on that.

I have a 2020 Transit Connect wagon with 51K miles. Front brakes started seizing at speeds over 60 mph and took to mechanic. Diagnosed piston/caliper problems, replaced in both front brakes as well as drums and pads. Seemed fixed with driving around town and short trips on highway. Drove on interstate today for over an hour and same seizing occurred at speeds over 60mph. Probably burned up another pair of pads. Will have to take it back to mechanic next week. Could it be ABS pump system? No warning light has ever come on. Any previous owner experience with this problem would be most appreciated.

Anyone know if I can fit fog lights to my 2016 connect it doesn’t come with fog lights from factory it’s has blanking plates can these be removed ? Also is the harness there for the fog lights ? It has the switch inside any help would be appreciated

I am having the same issue. I think it's my passenger front door and driver's sliding door. I try to lock it with the fob and it locks and then unlocks and the light is on that a door is open. Ugh.

Hi. When the driver door is opened, sometimes will hear a fast clicking under the hood and the Service Endine message comes on when key is turned to run. It will sometimes clear if the key is cycled on/off, but if not will run rough in limp mode. Throws a throttle position voltage correlation warning or ICM torque calculation performance. Both the throttle boby and the gas pedal relaced and still happens. Any ideas?

No, get it fixed ASAP. Losing coolant ends up in a major failure.

not in the us apparently.

I am managing a fleet of 160 vehicles of different brands and models. I have 40 units of Ford transit Connect 2.0 in our fleet that have the same consistent issue with EGR P0400. This code will come and go, and eventually when smog time comes in it will mess up drive cycle that cause vehicle not to pass smog. Drive cycle is somewhat challenging to manage because you need to do different running test to do away with it. Ford Company is not manufacturing these Vans anymore here in the USA.

Mine has so many broken links that I'm unable to determine how many links I need for a repair... Currently tucking cables up into place before final push to latch door. How can I get a whole box of these from you?!

do you have pics of this??

A Picture would be helpful, we do not have that engine over here. if the coolant gets too low bad things can happen.

Folks my ~35k 22' FTC has developed a rather persistent squeak on the driver side sliding door. I've pinpointed where it's coming from and specifically it's from the white roller wheel/bearing (pic attached). It only squeaks with the door closed. I've checked all mounting points and they are solidly on there with no movement. The roller is horizontal when installed, and it seems whenever there's vibration (bumpy roads, slightly imperfect freeway roads, etc...) the long roller arm has a tendency to vibrate/flex, causing the white wheel to rub against the track and that's where the squeak is coming from. I've tried cleaning it thoroughly with a water/soap - no luck, cleaning it with isopropyl - no luck, adding a dab of bearing grease to the wheel contact point - no luck, and even adding a bit of WD40 to both the track and wheel surface - still no luck. I was thinking next I could just place a bit of tape on the track where the wheel rests in closed position. But I figured I'd pop in here and see if anybody has a better solution. I did search the forum and didn't find any resolution to this specific issue.

It’s a 2006 1.8tdci

What year and which engine? Can you get a photo of the housing?

This will require a Good Scan tool or For scan to figure out.

Hi all looking for some advice please I have noticed that when my heater is on my thermostat housing leaks but when it’s not on it doesn’t leak. Is it ok to drive if I don’t use the heater?

Hoping this forum will be a good resource in getting this work van up to where I'd like it to be...

Hi, my 2016 connect has developed a strange issue with the power steering. When I start the engine and drive off I have no power steering for perhaps 20 or 30 seconds, the power steering then kicks in and everything is fine, nothing shows on the dashboard. However, if I start the engine, immediately select reverse, then select 1st, I can drive away without any power steering issues. If I do forget and drive off in 1st (no power steering) if I stop, select reverse then immediately select first, the power steering issue is cleared. Has anyone experienced this issue? Does anyone have any idea what the problem/resolution is?

Understandable. The rubber oil pump drive belt in the 2.7 kind of lets you know where things are headed.

Having a hard time figuring out how to diagnose which sensor is the one saying its open. It would be really helpful to know where the module is that controls the door open protocols. Has anyone successfully jumped out the door sensors? At the module? Only locally at the switch? Obviously buying a $300+ door latch is out of the question when the only issue is that it reads as open. If anyone has any advice on how to proceed with this process it would be greatly appreciated

I’m having this exact issue. I followed the advice that seemed to work for everyone else, but no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to try next? Thank you!
