On March 7 he mentions it is a "Mk7 2013 SWB FWD".

Its the 14th today :lol:

His post today mentioned prv / scv ??

And learns !

I only read that far back as of late…

Op you need to listen to information given previously, you dont have them parts and learns via forscan not needed.

Sort it out mate :D

So Leave me be lord :roll:

Im aware the euro 5 are different, il stick to my euro 4 even if i have to relearn on the service, it cant hurt :)

Op asked about the learns.. I didn’t suggest they were needed at any point. Atall.

I had not seen the 2013 plate post.

Is it ok to overlook occasionally ?

Well that escalated quickly!

There's good reason for this forum to exist. The complexities and variants of transits are enough to confuse anyone except the most devoted aficionados!
Very grateful for all the responses.
I guess I'll just keep looking for a solution and crossing my fingers for a miracle.
At least the van is running.

Try not to fight amongst yourselves...

Aye well said mate my reply was also meant in good humour. Hence the emojis added in to both of you.. bit of banter with knobby1 who I have big respect for. And would certainly never talk down to. He has helped me many a time. And absolutely no rudeness meant when i replied. As far as im aware, someone else took offence for you’s, a common thing in the modern world.

Just that i overlooked the previous post last week which said 2013 (euro5)..

My bad as had not read back to last week.

Some members (in my opinion) do tend to find any opportunity for a stir up unfortunately.

Calling someone a “Richard” on the mk8 page the other night is seemingly ok but my cheeky reply, all meant in jest (emojis to emphasise that) was “2 footed”.. seriously

Great forum, some characters will clash though. The problem with typed communication is the context is sometimes taken wrong. Mine absolutely was.

No hard feelings, well not on my part.


Hope you get the van sorted, all part of the fun aint it.

Have a good weekend.
Cheers

Everyone is fair game for a pi$$ take in one subject or another! Happy to admit I'm in that bracket on here...

Dug out the v5... to confirm, the van is:
transit 100 t260 fwd
EURO5 I A3EU

So there's definitely no SCV or PRV and I don't need to do 're-learns' in that case according to Lord Knobrot. I definitely wasn't aware of this.
Total minefield!

Maybe I should replace the MAP & MAF as a matter of course? I checked and cleaned them but would they throw a code if they were faulty anyway?
Local garage said there was "play in the turbo actuator and the turbo itself" a month ago, but the garage that fitted the replacement engine didn't find any issues in the turbo. Could it be worth investing in a replacement anyway as it's done 120k miles...

What course would you take if it was yours?
Tune and remapping an option?

If the garage hasn’t found any issues with the recon engine then you could “reset all adaptions” and take it for a decent length drive and see how it feels. It could well be seeing different readings and trying to adapt to them now the recon engine is in. I have slight play in my turbo actuator aswell but it drives fine (156k miles).

what about the exhaust the DPF or the cat ..could they be blocked ..it did have a buggered engine before the recon one was fitted.

and notice its still on your "to do list"

dismantle, take the DPF off, see if you can see how blocked it is

or forsan should give you a good indication what the percentage of blockage is

All the best.mark

Have you asked the garage about the possibility of checking the timing up ?

You said it had a new kit fitted presumably as part of the reconditioning.

This is still a possibility?

Get a price on the sensors, if you can afford it knowing it may not work that is your choice. It cant hurt right.

As for the turbo, well again its all money. Reconditioned options are available I fitted one from TPUK and its been on years about £150 quid it was. Suppose you could try it and have another spare.

- I was assured by the garage that the timing chain was fitted to spec and checked. I asked them on two separate occasions. If it happens not to be I'll be demanding some money back that's for sure!
- I'll check the DPF both using forscan and physically - thanks for the tip!
- will look into resetting the adaptions too. Hopefully I won't totally f**k it up!

Last but not least - something I hadn't thought of, but could it be EGR valve? Looking back through service history, it was replaced with a 'Pierburg' 22k miles ago for £187 (part cost). Symptoms do seem similar...

Its a shame they (ford) didnt make in an inspection cover on the timing covers for checking these things. Suppose they would lose the sale of a replacement cover everytime. They aint daft. !

If you get forscan hooked up and run live data you can see the egr position and also the dpf soot load aswell. Worth checking as if it was the old one and was full then it would certainly cause sluggish behaviour.
