  2. Ok, I will give it a look tomorrow. The splice you mentioned is in the back? Where does the actual liquid spray out of in back? Does the nozzle sit on top pointing down to spray? I'll search and try to find a pic. I do not even see any hoses at all. I'll check again tomorrow. EDIT- Took a quick look again before dark and found the issue. No issues with any hoses, which I never saw anyway lol. I found a vid that was talking about the rear sprayers and it showed me where they were. I did not know they were at the base of the wipers. The nozzles got moved/twisted somehow. Maybe from the ice and snow over winter? Anyway I twisted them a little to point them back on the windows and poof, sprayers spraying on the windows again. I guess since I was in the drivers seat prior I could not see the liquid missing the windows, and assumed they weren't working. They were working, but just spraying in air and not on the rear windows. Thanks for the reply...
  3. The front and rear are filled from the same place the hose for the rear goes over the right front door all the way back to the rear barn doors. Their is a splice near the on the top of the door which leaked on mine . Sounds like there is a blockage in the hose or the nozzles at the back. Pull a hose off at the back and see if the fluid comes out. Hope this helps. Mine is a 2014 so I hope they did the same on yours.
  4. Thanks Mrtn, next question is whether the tyres will allow a straight swap. Ive bought a set of the 17's from an active (not received them yet) and they come with 215/55r17 tyres, the one on my wheels are 205/60 r16 so fingers crossed they fit🤞

  6. Hi, anyone know if the 17" wheels fitted with the oem 215/55 r17 tyres from a 2024 Active will fit straight onto a mk2 connect limited? I think the stud pattern is the same but not sure if the tyres would be too big for the wheel arches etc Thanks
  7. Hello all, I am not crazy. I remember using my rear window washer sprayers multiple times n the past to clean the barn door windows. For the life of me I do not see spray nozzles back there where the liquid comes out. I bring this up because now when I try to spray back there I hear the sound but no spray. There is fluid in the reservoir under the hood and my front still sprays and works without issue. Does the rear have its own place to to fill? Where the heck does the liquid spray out of at the rear windows? I looked for 5 minutes the other day and there is nothing on top, sides, or bottom, OR on the wipers for liquid to spray out of. What the heck??? 2011 Transit Connect XLT
  8. Yep , the soy based wiring causes problems . Also those tin shields underneath make a safe place to live for critters .
  9. Now that you mentioned rats, the condition of the harness protector was a little ragged! I'm thinking you are correct!
  10. Had the same code , was rat chewd wires .
  11. There are coolers which can cool engine oil and transmission fluid. With the tube & fin style coolers, I use a special kit for mounting. For anyone who really wants to add a transmission cooler, you will need to splice into the fluid return line between the OEM cooler and the bypass valve. Number 3 on the diagram.
  12. Just saw this . A 1400 lb trailer weight would be fairly common for me. I bet I have been close to 2000 Lbs on many occasions .
  13. It is now 2024 The OEM Plug and O ring are at 26 + oil changes and every thing is good.
  14. If you are committed to the project get a spot weld cutter and you can take it out neatly .If you want to go the other way it is not a big deal to weld it back in as long as a neat removal was done.
  15. When mine does that it is usually a result of a low voltage start. I disconnect the bat for 5 Min's and that usually triggers a correct reset soon. This has been happening to me for 10 years . Good luck and keep us posted.
  16. If that is true what forum are you using? In any event Hi and how are you doing!
  17. 2014 TC 180,000kms, it doesn't matter how many times I reset the clock it won't work, I got it working last summer and it was good for a few months but then I had to disconnect the battery to install a new one and it went back to the way it was when I first got it. It advances 2-3 min per day. Do I have to replace the whole unit to fix it? Thanks
  18. Check engine light came on. Code reader said: P0453 High reading from EVAP. 2 months of research and here are the results! Turned out to be a severed wire harness on top of the fuel tank going to the FTP (fuel tank pressure) sensor. Have to drop the fuel tank to repair. First confirm the error by checking the 3 wires coming from the sensor at the connector (C211) in the right pillar at the passenger seat. Pins 18-19-20. Pin 18 is 5 volts reference using pin 20 as the signal return (ground). Pin 19 is the signal sent from the FTP. Should be around 2 to 3 volts. My problem was 5 volts on pin 19 caused by an open return (ground). When I tried to purchase a new FTP on both Ebay and Amazon, I noticed that only a wire connector was available. This was a big hint. Apparently only the wires are the problem! There is a 6 inch length of cable extending to the FTP that seems to vibrate over 10 years to the extent of separating! Now to drop the tank to solder the wires back together, you just need to lower the back of the tank 6 inches by removing the heat shields and disconnecting the filler hose. After lowering 3 inches, disconnect the cable to the canister and continue to 6 inches so you can reach the separated wires. I could not disconnect the FTP connector because the brilliant engineers placed the connector upside down making the lock on the connector inaccessible! Luckily, I could solder the wires on top without disconnecting. One more hint. Do not disconnect the muffler and tailpipe as directed by the field service manual! Just bend the interfering shield down.
  19. There's already a subforum and thread for wheel fitment. You need to compare your OEM wheel to the wheel that you want to use.
  20. Hi, does anybody know if the 17 inch wheels from a transit connect active will fit onto my 2017 connect limited? Thanks

  22. I must have missed the latest Lostin Transit episode dam . when did the forum light up again I must have been asleep?
  23. Earlier
  24. Fun fact: there no punctuation of any kind in OP's post.
  25. 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.
