You also need to find some one to install a custom set of flaps be behind the front wheels to protect the Rocker panels.

Cool put the money in a CD and you can be ready and also you can win! -
installed new shocks and struts
G B L replied to Humphrey's Van's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Have they looked like that from the beginning? If so something is wrong . the helper spring looks to be stuck in the compressed position and is not doing any work. -
If you get the head off and the pan you can get the pistons out . If you put the right piston in it should run fine. Once you have it apart check all the cyl and the injector re-code should be doable .

Lots of brakes, because of lots of salt. A couple of batteries, and 2.5 sets of tires , and a set of plugs and oxygen sensors Regular oil changes and 4 transmission drain and refills . 103000 miles so far. The real question is do you feel Lucky? -
No the head has to come off.

How long does the charge last? The water leak is a plugged drain in the evaporator box . clean out the drain and the water will stay out. When charged how does the AC work?

I am with you they probably had an alarm system in the TC.

Overheating but engine & radiator not hot
G B L replied to Aqua Kelly's topic in 2002-2013 Ford Transit Connect
If the thermostat was changed the by pass was also changed. Before going too much further a combustion leak test will tell if you have a pressure prob in the engine. Make sure the proper bleed procedure has eliminated all the air in the cooling system. -
You don"t want those 18"s for the winter. 215-60-16 work well. Check Tire Rack they have wheel and tire packages. When I purchased my winter set I found a Alloy wheel at almost the same price as a steel wheel with lugs and did not need caps

2010 Ford Transit Connect engine swap 2.0
G B L replied to WestCoastMechanic's topic in <i>Powertrain Tech</i>
The swap time depends on your equipment. If you have a lift the power train comes out the bottom. -
Overheating but engine & radiator not hot
G B L replied to Aqua Kelly's topic in 2002-2013 Ford Transit Connect
that is where the thermostat on this engine is , The upper hose does not have the Thermostat. -
You know you could get a 2.0 short block for what you already have and see what happened.

G B L replied to Aqua Kelly's topic in 2002-2013 Ford Transit Connect
You say the thermostat has not been replaced. If so you should replace it. This thermostat has a bypass valve and if it does not work the water flow will never get to the radiator . -
It's a 2 .0 here but not an echo boost. only 162 Hp Less than my 2.5 with less torque. A 2.0 Echo boost with 200-220 Hp would be what I would want if they upped the internal parts to take the stress.

If they offered a 2.0 here I would definitely be interested. How much power do they have and is that available to you ?
