Transit connect (2014)

[paul2012]

I have now covered 200 miles in the van and all is well, the only slight gripe I have is getting used to the different torque/gearbox ratio(if they are different?) particularly in 2nd gear it feels very flat below say 1800rpm, seems leggy almost compared to the 1.8 tdci! On that note, what is the rules on warranty and remapping these vans? Is it something I would need to run by my ford dealer?

Give it time & allow your engine to run in - Ford states run in period of 2000 miles for New Diesel Connects

Yes gearbox ratios are completely different to 1.8 TDCI Connects, plus you have 6 extra gear - 6 Speed gearbox

You already have the 1.6 Duratorq 115ps -max 270 torque (285 with transient overboost) Euro 5 engine (DV6) with vDPF (Vaporiser Diesel Particulate Filter)

It may get better with mileage, run it for 5,000 miles and l bet it improves. Diesel engines take time to run in before they deliver their best.
