Transit custom missing a beat / hesitant

[Garylad]

My transit is doing exactly the same, It's been back in to ford and they replaced the air intake sensor which stopped it going to limp mode . Still ran like a bag of sh*t so I took it back 2 weeks ago and carried out an injector reset and learn , apparently needs driving for 3000 miles now to learn my style of driving ( bollocks) . They also gave it a pcm update to the latest calibration what ever that means and it's still sh*t

I get a slight "miss" if you are on over run and then lightly come back on throttle.... It feels like a misfire, but I can make it happen at will. I thought it did this when it was performing a DPF regen but it does it quite frequently.

It isn't causing any issues, but yes its annoying. I don't think its a fault in fuelling or the map as mine is remapped and it still does it. I'm convinced it is when regens occur..... Mine would regenerate often as I do local journeys and never does it see a motorway.

If you are getting limp mode that is something totally different and is a clear fault.

Have the exact same problem.
My van is produced late may 2016.

Not a 2.0 euro6 then?

No.... a remapped 125 2.2.

I'm convinced its a software issue that is consistent across all models and definitely DPF regen related. I see this issue reported on a couple of forums across all models.

I will delete the DPF and alter the map to suit one day, and I will wager the problem will disappear once the van doesn't regenerate the DPF.....but I won't do that until the DPF needs replacing so a few years down the road hopefully.

Its a fault of sorts but i'm sure its nothing to worry about. it is too common an issue to be of concern.

I didn't think the 2.2s had this issue.

My old 2012 mk7 had issues with hesitations but that got sorted.
The loaner, a 2.2 155 2015 custom didn't have any problems whatsoever.

Mines doing it too. 65 plate 125 limited.

It hesitates between 1500 and 1800 rpm. Usually doing about 30 in 3rd gear or 40 in 4th gear when feathering the throttle. It's now noticeable enough that a passenger asked me what was wrong with the van.

try turning off your EGR valve

[seikokid]

hesitation at low revs

Yes EGR makes sense. I will delete it next remap.

[Garylad]

I don't know if it's the PDF or ERG valve I'm no machanic but surely on an £18000 vehicle it's unacceptable so will be taking it back to ford yet again, Could low or high sulphur fuel have started this ? Wish I'd kept my old mrk 7

Got to admit after my initial concerns in the linked post mine hardly ever does it now, maybe once every couple of months , i just put it down to a quirk of the engine and dont give it a second thought

My 2014 155 was doing this every day until I broke down last week and the fuel pump gave up the ghost (35000 miles) They replaced the pump and it's now running better than it ever was ! Not missing a beat anymore......
