Postby Jo88golf » Thu Jan 25, 2018 5:16 pm

Hi, my 2017 Transit has had 2 broken wires in 3 weeks and is playing up again! Is this common or is it just mine?! Iv only just done 6000 miles got it in June.

1st time it lost power and was missing at 1500 revs that was a wire on the turbo broke.
2nd time came up adblue malfunction wont start in 400 miles and engine management light on they said that was a broken wire on the loom under the bonnet.
Now its doing the missing at 1500 revs again!
All within a month!

was this a ford dealer ? im sure the turbo doesn't kick in till around 1700 revs and would just make it slow not misfire , there was a guy on here a month ago asking about turbo actuators failing and I think there is a few on the custom section who have had the add blue malfunction warnings ,not seen it was a wire though

ive had a wire break before on a mk7 but it was through corrosion , if they are wires breaking you have been extremely unlucky but my first impression is ford are fobbing you off , its common knowledge they are having issues with the new euro 6 2.0 engine and I feel they are just telling anything to fob you off cause they have no real answers yet

Yes a ford dealer, i also think im being fobbed off, it was missing at 1500 revs and loss of power all together at any revs felt very flat. Iv got it booked in again next Wednesday to be looked at i have also emailed ford uk.
Our nearest dealer is an hour away so, we will see what they say this time!
