Lots, caused by overfueling injectors, usually because they need a pump/ pilot learn on IDS but people won't take it to the Ford dealers

hi
yep done lots of these now, infact its the most common form of failure, or it is on the ones i have repaired, common knowledge that over-fuelling caused by knackered injector causes these failures, or at least its common knowledge on this forum but i cant say i am convinced its injectors failing causing it, when i have had customer check out injectors (at great expence) they usually check out ok !!! my view is that the pistons arent up to the job, to make engines more efficient the pistons have been lightened and under heavy load they just crack, burning then follows the crack and burns a hole in piston, hole usually exits on oil control ring and burns pocket in block, also heavy scoring of cylinder wall , bore, sleeve and bore back to standard is my method of repair, its a bit like a production line in my place at the moment doing 2.2s and 2.4 tdci,s ----------------love em
it was like that before i touched it !!

Its not the injectors themselves, but the calibration in the ecu which causes the overfuelling

yes mine did the same thing. No2 piston usually I am told. ford must know about it cos their short motor has drastically reduced in price so they must be aware. It cost me £2.5K to fix mine yet it now runs worse than before. Mine is now down on power, hesitates a stutters and in 4th between 30-40mph it starts to kangaroo. I hate it right now.

PS anyone want a spare 2.2 block...lol

My 2007 2.2 130ps had the exact same thing about a year ago :-( wish I had known this was an issue, I would have really ripped into my local dealer & investigated further, I just accepted it as one of those unfortunate things & martynx fitted an almost new 2009 140 with it's 6 speed box, chuffed to bits with it but now I'm bloody well annoyed :-(

yes it's just happened to my 2011 transit trend which has only done 51000 miles and this has been serviced every 10000 miles at a reputable garage. The garage who look after my van can't believe this has happened to such a well maintained van and are dealing with Ford directly to see if they can resolve anything. Is there anyone out there who has had any luck themselves ? Every bit of information helps ( I hope ) It's quite obvious there's a problem with these 2.2's and Ford need to man up to this :x
