Transit Mk7 - 2.2 - T350 - RWD (2012)
Hi all , (Can`t remember the log in details for the old account)
Van broke down yesterday , Thought i`d share a few pictures (Since we all like pictures)
She`s been rattling for a few weeks so i was thinking the chain / tensioner is on the way out (bought a complete kit ready)
As i had planned to strip it down this coming weekend but it started rattling bad and cut out yesterday.
Restarted and has compression but sounded really bad. Killed it off and got towed back
Stripped the front off this morning and found the oil pump chain loose / no tension at all ,
This has caused the chain to grind into the casting and worn the teeth completely off the sprocket. (Is this common?)
I`m hoping with a new pump , chain + tensioner (+ a several oil filters + changes) She might be okay.
I need to get the sump off next , cross bar looks a bugger!
She may /has been starved of oil if the chains been skipping , I might be very lucky
