Does the company that makes your propane conversion make one for the 2.5 liter ?? -

G B L replied to DapperVan's topic in Buying, Leasing, Ordering & Owner Impressions
It is good you made your move this year. The propane conversion makes your TC a very nice thing. Your timing was PERFECT ! -
That set up if priced right would sell here!

Any performance details?

LWB + Ecoboost = No Dice. Why????

It was up till the 2017 model. The numbers must not have added up for Ford. The small gain in mileage and performance did not bring in the sales. If the engine has the right internal parts then it should hold up fine. The turbo might not like city life. I wonder if the EU model will retain the 1.6 turbo -
The hard board panels are available in Black plastic for the passenger version. The window replacement panels would be cool.

The 2014 has it also, the rear auxiliary heater fan is under the drivers seat

Look's like a great mat

Good to here , What I first thought was a crack must be just a gouge.

That is the way I did the wiring on mine. I have towed three different trailers with my tc and the harness works great.

Another thing the cutter shows you is the filter bypass valve. This valve bypasses the filter much more often then you think. This makes keeping the oil clean even more critical. Another plus of the cutter is that it makes recycling the filter very easy.

Sounds like you are getting what you wanted . Hoping that the bath you took was small. The front of the TC will not be hard to judge after you drive it a while. If you are paying attention to the driving in front then you will just know where the front end is. Did you order one or did the dealer have one you liked ?

That's great news. It is a wonderful thing when a Retailer and a manufacturer are interested enough to go the extra mile to make sure the Job outcome is good.

You will need a wheel and most likely a tire. The ABS system needs a scan to see if the wheel sensor is sending data. The harness could also be compromised. The front end need an alignment and a general check out.

Installing Aftermarket Radio/Nav Unit
G B L replied to Beta Don's topic in Audio, Navigation and SYNC
I think the biggest change in the cars , is that the driving , hauling people around and carrying stuff part has gone way down on the list of what is important -
Thanks for making me much happier with my Choice. It is usually the small things that make car ownership good or bad . Thanks for the Information. How does it drive? Have you driven a TC yet? If so how do they compare.

2014 Transit Connect Fog lights
G B L replied to bx77's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
The whole car is run on the canbus You. should not need resistors as there is no flashers involved. The LED's need resistors to signal the flasher. If the led works in the dome light it will work in the fog light. -
What's up with the Pro Master City to make you want to trade so fast?
-
The minor angle will not mater. The tow dolly just wants the car not changing its position relative to the tow dolly.

You could do a search for a 2017 Ford Transit Connect Wagon LWB Titanium w/ Rear Liftgate in RACER RED and see if there are any in the country and where. The line ticket will tell you what they have . The roof rack and the Sync 3 will be the toughest . The TC tow's very well so adding a hitch is easy. Good luck keep us posted on your search

Routing heavy guage wire from battery to cargo area.
G B L replied to nhcurmudgeon's topic in Accessories and Modifications
The Bigger the better. Make sure the wire is fused on both ends so it can't become a very High amp short to ground. -
2012 Connect Last gear not engaging on the Highway
G B L replied to smallWill_Lifting's topic in Transmission
The final drive ratio in the 2012 tc is 3.96 and the overdrive is .73, the 205 \65\ 15 tires do 791revolutions per mile so 70 mph would be about 2700. If you push the overdrive lock out you you would get 3600 plus. Sounds like the rpms are close to normal. -
