    Fullsize, yes, TC will be built in Spain.

    The most important thing: vinyl graphics. the TC screams for it.

    No, we don't get any urea injections here. In cars, that is.

    Lack of rear windows has fixed this problem for me.

    No, just cat + DPF. The newer vDPF is some kind of vaporizer DPF which' work principle I am not aware of.

    They would if US would not have too strict emission requirements. I'll go gas with my next TC (the 2014 model) but only because of the auto box. Other than that, I love the diesel model. 500 miles between fillups is nice. I average 40 mpg, mostly city driving.

    The cone will be off the center of the door grill, because the OEM speaker is really close to the rigid frame parts.

    I cut the door sheet metal to fit 5x7" ovals, which was no problem. It really depends on the magnet size more than the diameter.

    Positive lead does not connect to engine block/body. That's the negative terminal.

    What's wrong with the Euro brake light in terms of safety? The fact that it's off center by 4"?

    some serious work put into the van.

    There's a limit to mpg when pushing a brick through air. I have a diesel model and in summer I get 40 mpg around town and 33 mpg on highway, it's just aerodynamics.

    Spam bots. Gotta tighten the registration process.

    Introduction

    mrtn replied to azulejost's topic in Welcome!

    I am. My 2006 TC is on its way out and I haven't found any funky ones from competitors. Most likely I'll get a 1.6L Ecoboost automatic. I have a 2-seater cargo van at the moment, I think that's the model I'll be getting next.

    That is really early for suspension knock unless you have hit a bad pot hole recently. Ford has always had notoriously bad sway bar drop links. Always fails at half the time of Japanese cars parts. It should be under warranty, so have it checked. Perhaps it's a bad steering rack from the factory.

    It's a späm robot, it's not posted by a real person.

    I'm in!
  23. mrtn
    The issue is the combination of a mildly powered 2.0 liter engine mated to long gearing of a 4-speed transmission.
  24. mrtn
    I did see one TC passenger van with the small mirrors over here, so they must exist as a European part number.
  25. mrtn
    Is there a cargo cover available for the windowed van?
