govandlaw Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Why did Ford change the 2.5 for the 2.0 in the new Transit Connects? From all real-life reports, the 2.0 getting worse mileage than the 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It’s because on paper the new engines meet newer emission standards. Lets not bother ourselves with real life facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret1197 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 im getting about 4 more mpg going from a 2.5 to the 2.0. So the 2.0 gets better gas mileage than my 2.5. But it has help from the 8 speed trans and the autostart feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the performance difference if any? Have you done any trailer towing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGBKitchen Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Does auto start stop actually accomplish anything? On mine it kicks back on in less than 5 seconds most of the time (and that's without me letting off the brake a little or moving the steering wheel.) Auto S/Stop does not use the actual starter motor does it? I know there is an accumulator but wondering how it actually works (and or if it's the enhanced mechanical failure equivalent of ethanol). I have the 2L/8 speed. Generally like the vehicle but worried about longevity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G B L Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The cycle time is dependent on what is running in the TC at the time. If the heat or AC is on then the cycle time will be short. I think is uses the regular starter but the unit is heaver duty. Make sure the Battery is in good shape if you do a lot of city driving.

mrtn Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Correct, S&S starters are more durable but not by that much. I have one replaced in one of my cars with S&S at perhaps 50K miles. Hybrids use the hybrid motor and this is very very durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
