The van went in for the recall this morning, the receptionist was surprised that I had not had warning messages about “oil change required”
The Recall is “18b14 oil dilution Recall” and involves a PCM recalibration. This is what I got verbally off the receptionist, he couldn’t give me anything in the way of a report either before or after the work was done.
The oil and filter was not changed.
The dipstick was not changed.
The Technician who specialises in Transits was on holiday, so the whole reason for choosing a “Transit Specialist” was of no great benefit.
I asked them to look into why the fan comes on seconds after starting from cold (intermittent) but they said I’d have to bring it back another day! It’s a good job I’m retired and have time on my hands, it must be murder for a working tradesman who relies on his van for a living.
I’ll start a new thread about the fan coming on to see if there’s any history on it (after doing a forum search of course.
It seems like the Recall has been previously covered by the thread “2.0L euro6 oil requires change after 3K”, I did do a search first but missed it using my iPhone. I read the whole story while waiting in service reception.
