Customer project number 2 2007 TRANSIT MK7 T260 85PS

Postby paul2012 » Tue Oct 17, 2017 3:42 pm

2007 TRANSIT MK7 T260 85PS Ex Royal Mail with 62,000 miles on the clock

1st on the list. Change battery as it's flat & start engine.

Greeted with a loud knocking sound emanating from engine..... See vid here :arrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePTvmrRIP40. & loads of smoke from exhaust

With tapping from the top I'm certain there's a slight knock from bottom end as well.
More investigation is required. So stay tuned.......

Ran IDS on mk7. No DTC's stored :? Obviously a mech fault

Done a compression test. Cylinder 4 was too low
Replaced injectors with new seals etc & fuel pump. Made know difference at all.

Removed cylinder head to find......

Cylinder 4 is badly scored, possibly broken piston rings :?:
Signs of piston being burnt away...



In simple terms engine is shot :(

I bought the front grill in frozen white from Loot :D

Got the grill painted in colorado red.
Also but these step covers,
Image

Front fogs & grill was all fitted by paul 2012 :D

Also bought these 18'' alloys
Image

A new DAB radio & parrot hands free
Image

Changed the switches & blanking plate to a trendy silver that was removed from a C Max
Image

Fitted these rear tripple seats & rear bulkhead :D
Image

Bought a sliding door with privacy glass all fitted for a bargain price of 50.00
Also had the repairs done to all the N/S & the door fitted & all painted :D
Image
Also the wheels fitted as well :D
Image

The van is now on 77000 miles.
It has since passed another MOT with no problems.

But i have had all these things done as well,
Electric mirrors, Upgraded the electric windows to mk7, Focus st door handles, The air con all serviced up,

Brand new genuine front wheel bearings & disc & pads, New battery, Towbar, Privacy windows on both sides,
New water pump & thermostat, New drivers seat cover, New front & rear bumper corners & rear bumper cover all genuine parts,
All these parts i have found on the bay & have picked them up quite cheaply. Def not Ford prices,

Also had the injectors replaced last month.

I have just picked up some Tourneo seats with arm rest and the newest mk7 seat patterns,
I have not fitted these as yet but i am looking for the drivers seat & front double seat in the same pattern :D

I will post a few more pics a bit later. I have had a few probs with photo bucket.
May i thank you paul2012 for all what you have done to this project :D You are a top man.

Next job after christmas is some paint work on the drivers side :D
