Common Problems: FORD TOURNEO CONNECT
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF and Injector Issues (1.6 TDCi)(Moderate)
The 1.6-litre diesel is prone to injector seal failure and DPF clogging on short urban journeys. Leaking injector seals cause the Black Death, a build-up of carbon tar around the injectors.
- Sliding Door Mechanism and Latch Faults(Moderate)
The sliding rear doors can jam, fail to lock properly, or trigger dashboard warnings. Worn rollers, faulty latches and damaged wiring in the door channels are common, especially on family-used examples.
- Electrical Gremlins and Battery Drain(Moderate)
General electrical issues include battery drain, infotainment glitches, heated windscreen segment failures and door-module faults. The car can go flat if left unused for more than a few days.
- PowerShift Gearbox Judder (Automatic Models)(Serious)
The dry-clutch 6DCT250 PowerShift automatic suffers the same judder, hesitation and mechatronic failure issues as other Ford models. Urban stop-start use accelerates wear.
