Very old thread here but thought I would give an update....after almost five years of messing with the software off and on, I finally got the Diesel running and working properly. Huge props to the guys at Forscan, as without it, I would never have a running van! The latest release of software included new security tools for this model that allowed me to do a PATS reset and sync all the modules. After that, the car started right up. I may have shed a tear! Everything now is just as if it were originally built the way it is from the factory. The only issue I have is that I cannot figure out cruise control as it also requires a configuration in the PCM besides the BCM and the IPC. If anyone knows the HEX code and address for that on the PCM, I would be grateful to know! Unfortunately I do not get the 50mpg that some claim in England but do get around 38mpg average around town and "driving with traffic" on the highway. I think our highway speeds here are much faster than in England and the gallon is a bit bigger there. I am still very happy with the performance of the little oil burner! I also added a second row of seats from a Grand C-MAX (drivetrain donor) that can be configured as a bench or captains. This allows me to haul my bikes and also have three rear seats. I added a wheel stop right behind the center console as well. I also fabricated a baseplate that is compatible with my roadmaster tow bar so I can easily tow behind my motorhome. It was a lot of work and I do not recommend to anyone but in the end I got what I wanted so I guess it was worth it! Chris

I am building the same thing and am quite close to you at M6 x 8th ave. You can come over and take a look at mine any time.

I am in a state that has no such inspections. I plan on running the wheels off it and it going to the scrap yard when I am done. At 50+ mpg, I may just make this my daily driver...

It all fit right in perfectly. There was even a hole with a pug in it for the clutch pedal. Fuel tank was tricky as I had to convert the petrol one to diesel (pull pump delete). The hardest part was the engine bay wire harness. I had to build that from the schematics. I am now having PATS issues due to the donor vehicle (focus) had keyless ignition (push button start) with the PATS functionality in the door module. The focus PCM would not flash to a TC software level. The Ford service parts for the PCMs are different so there is a hardware difference. Working on sourcing a TC PCM from the EU. Stay tuned...

Hi - new to the forum here. I just purchased a 2014 TC and am in the process of swapping in a Euro spec 1.6 l tdci (115PS) with 6 speed manual. Everything is in, just working through the software gremlins. Since we cannot get these diesel manual drive trains configured in a TC in the US, I figured I would build one. I wanted a motovan that got good fuel economy and was a manual so I could tow it behind my motorhome (with a bike in the back of course). Below are pictures of the old 2.5 l petrol drive train removed and the new Diesel installed...Once I get it going I have some more plans for it. Thanks everyone on this forum who proved for me that a dirtbike could fit in the back of one of these.... Thanks, Chris
