Hello all, hope you can help me on problem on my 1993 Transit Laika campervan 2.5 TD Manual.
I am totally not handy with engines myself but start to know more about it every day since we’ve got this problem…
And as the mechanic in the garage doesn’t know what to do anymore I thought to check myself what is possible to fix this problem, so hope to find some help overhere...
7 weeks ago we bought this campervan and went for the a weekend with my wife and 2 kids. All went well but after 50 km driving on the highway it stopped. Went in limp mode so went on the side of the road and really didn’t know what to do at that time. Tried to start it and it runned again. But after 20km again the same problem, after 200m again, and again…
So we called SOS and they got us of the road, and send the campervan to the garage, where it still is after 7 weeks…

Problem/situation at the moment is that the mechanic at the garage (official Ford dealer) have replaced a new (remanufactured) fuel pump (see link below), fuel filter and timing belt to solve the problem, but now the engine jumps in limp mode directly after starting and has no power. And if he turns the engine off, the engine keeps on running for 15 seconds, unless he tries to start again – then the engine turns off.
Also if he wants to read the fault codes there is a whole list of 80 faults he says, and he can’t remove them. I already read in other topics to stall the engine by engaging 3th or 5th gear but does that solve the whole problem?
The mechanic now wants to replace the old fuel pump on Monday morning again to see if he still has the same issues to ensure the new one is okay or not. But my feeling says that the new fuel pump is fine and the problem is something else. Reading some other topics on this forum.
Hope someone can help us, mechanic will go on holiday next week, and we hope to explore Europe in 2 weeks time from now...
Thanks in advance,
Iwan
