Postby Transit tipper 2012 » Sat Feb 04, 2023 5:39 pm

Hi all just joined I have a 2012 transit tipper 2.2 tdci 100 T350 the first two weeks of owning it the vacuum brake pump went a week later the turbo went I've just had them dome with ford parts from garage, but the garage guys have said they ain't to confident on the engine, because of the things that went wrong within the time I have had it, plus they seem to think there might be a problem with the oil pressure? But the van runs fine apart from a little smoke while driving now and then but does clear, no bangs or knocks while driving or on idle, is there any way of getting the transit checked, as I don't feel confident now because of garage, and love driving transits wouldn't have anything else , help needed?

Euro-5 oil pumps are made of cheese...best to get the oil pressure checked at least...there was a recall on some earlier ones too IIRC.
