Common Faults & Reliability
These are the most common documented problems for the Ford Transit Connect Mk2, sorted by their typical impact and frequency.
1.5 / 1.6 TDCi Fuel Injector Failure & Leaking Copper Sealing Washers
high severityThe Continental piezo injectors suffer from electronic coil breakdown and erosion of the copper combustion sealing washers, allowing hot combustion blow-by gas ("black death" carbon tar) to bake around the cylinder head.
Twin Sliding Side Door Lower Guide Roller Wear & Latch Microswitch Sticking
low severityThe nylon lower sliding door guide rollers wear flat from grime, causing the heavy side loading doors to drop, scuffing the rear wing paintwork and misaligning the central locking contact pins.
DPF Differential Pressure Sensor Silicone Pipe Heat Degradation
medium severityThe dual rubber/silicone pressure sensor hoses connected to the DPF exhaust pipe degrade and crack from high exhaust temperatures, sending false differential pressure readings to the PCM and blocking DPF regenerations.
