Postby Scotty7940 » Tue Mar 10, 2020 5:26 pm

Hi can any one help I got a mk6 125 hp transit, it will only start when I spray easy start, once it’s running I can drive it all day soon as I switch it off it won’t restart. I was told to Change the filter housing as there is a pump on top of the housing I have done that and it’s still the same any help is appreciated many thanks scott

Is it TDDi or the FWD TDCi...??

Have you had the codes read..??

Lift pump on the filter suggests it's an early 2.4 tddi :wink:

Check the crank position sender for swarf. Drivers side bellhousing to block joint - approx 1 O'clock position.

What code reader was used..? Mk6 Transits are not OBD-ll compliant so most newer readers are useless.
