Hi All
Any help/advice would be appreciated,
I have a 2016 Transit Custom that has a starting issue after standing for longer periods of time. It let it crank over for about 10 seconds at a time before letting it rest and trying again, normally the battery goes before it starts and I have to boost it or use easy start to get it to go. Once the van has started it will turn off and start again no problem, leave it for an hour or 2 hours and it will still start the first time, but leave it any longer than this and it becomes troublesome to start again.
I took it to garage A who checked glow plugs and injectors which were fine. They fitted a fuel filter but nothing improved. I took it to an electric specialist who plugged it in and told me the van was in perfect working order.
So it went to garage B, a Ford specialist, who checked the injectors again (all OK) and put another fuel filter on, but nothing improved. The van developed a misfire and finally developed a code So the van went back in and had a diesel pump fitted (their guess at the main isue) and injector 4 replaced (the code that had come up due to the misfire) and its still exactly the same but with the misfire gone.
Has anybody come across this issue? I've heard it could be common on the Add Blue vans but no one seems to know a cure.
