Online Recommendations for Older Transit Parts

Postby themountain » Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:38 am

Hello all,

I have a 1990 coach built transit with a 2L Pinto engine underneath and I want to do a major service this weekend before I have to move house in two weeks. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy older Ford Transit parts online? Nothing special, just service parts (including timing belt and water pump).

Also, either due to the age or that it is coach built I am unable to find parts based on the reg, including listing on the Ford DB. Does anyone have a way round that? Just when I tried to ring a local company and ask about parts they said it depends on the base model engine. From my memory (though this is going back to the late 90s), I thought most Pinto engines were very similar and the aforementioned parts should be the pretty much the same? For reference this has an electronic ignition.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a good parts dealer, or perhaps the engine model / number that would be ace. Thanks!

This helps for finding part numbers:
https://ford.7zap.com/en/transport

Here you will still find a lot of parts but need to translate the page:

That's only a casting number not an engine number, away from home and can't think where it is on the pinto.
Most parts will be the same but being a 90 I'd think more Sierra than Cortina.
Air filter might be Transit but not sure.
A proper motor factors that you can chat with might be more help than internet or the likes of halfrauds, just go for the older lads not the snot nosed teenager.

Thanks axxez, would you mind telling me you think the engine is? For future reference and other parts? Went under again tonight and there is no model number on the engine plate, it's plain unfortunately.

Whenever I search for parts, I get 3 different 2L options for my year. Thank you

Any reasonable motor factor should have/be able to get what you need within a few hours...

Hey themountain,

I can just guess, but some things to concider: 2 of those timing belts I checked are for more than just one engine-model. I am quiet sure that they should be the same, as in my opinion they mostly differ in mounting parts (like carburetor/CFI, catalysator/streight pipe ;-)

What can help is your registration doc, which can tell the ccm and exact HP as well as well as the Code Transit E__ / Transit T__ etc. For example, my past Transit I think was a TAL or TWS as far as I remember.
To help you with the German: in the lists they write about
"Bus" --> they mean the van with windows
"Kasten" --> delivery van without windows or few windows and separated loading area
"Pritsche/Fahrgestell" --> means platform-truck / tipper
