Does anyone know anything about this? Its all over the European sites, but I can't find a thing about it here. Does anyone know a TSB or recall number?

interesting. my van falls outside the range (1/5/16 - 1/7/19) but even knowing the FSA number I still can't find any details in Australia. Maybe we never got the 2.0 until after this date?

I have a Feb 2017 built Transit Custom 2.0L six speed auto and will see if it has ever been checked for this. Transit Custom switched to the 2.0L 96kW when the auto version became available and then after an update the 125kW version became the standard engine with the Sport getting a more powerful tune.

2.0 Ecoblue engine, same as Ranger but the issue looks to be degraded or diluted oil causing premature failure
Read, people skipping services and replacing oil occasionally……and then wonder why engine goes bang. |

Curious as to oil change intervals as I see some van manufacturers suggesting 30,000km oil change intervals and to me thats well and truly stretching the friendship.

Ecoblue engine has a 30,000km service interval which looks great on the sales brochure. Everywhere else it’s a terrible idea.

Mazda diesels had big problems with fuel getting into the oil. Clogs the DPF and results in engine failure. People are buying diesel SUVs and utes then using them for the school run. They need to have regular long runs or they have all sorts of problems. It is not a good idea to buy a secondhand modern diesel as you don't know how it has been used and there could be very expensive problems ahead.

There has certainly been a lot of software/strategy updates along the way to resolve this issue across many models and many manufacturers.

Do they offer a petrol Transit? If not, there's always the delivery driver's Ferrari, the 3.5V6 Hiace

Had one for two weeks as a hire while our Transit Custom was in the panel shop...very smooth and quick but it did 300km per tank less than the Transit Custom and back then petrol cost more than diesel....thank my lucky stars costs were covered by the insurance company....might even have cost a demerit point or three...

Is there a hybrid Hiace in the works? Something like 2.4 or 2.0L petrol + the hybrid gear, chews less than a diesel, can take 91. That would be quite a good vehicle.
