How long do Transit engines last?
According to Motor and Wheels, the Ford Transit van has a mileage expectancy of around 150,000 miles. That said, if you take care of your cargo van model you can see up to 300,000 miles. Owners report at least 10 – 15 years of service from their vans before having to do extensive repairs or make any major changes.
What kind of engine does a 1998 Ford Transit have?
1998 Ford transit 2.5 Diesel, turbo, Long Wheel Base and mid roof. Purchased second hand in 2003, seized the engine when it lost coolant via the water pump seal, temperature indicator reading normal. $7000.00 to replace. Lucas Epic fuel injector pump leaking, $2210.00 to refurbish and refit.
What’s the problem with the Ford Transit engine?
Solution: The Transit with the 2.0 and 2.4 DuroTorq Di diesel engines suffer from a failing Bosch injection pump. The cam plate fails in the Bosch VP30 fuel injection pump. The solution is to fit a revised and modified injection pump. The fuel system should be thoroughly cleaned and checked for any metal particles in the fuel system.
What’s the solution to the Ford Transit clutch problem?
The solution is to fit a new blower motor resistor and wiring loom. Since 09/1998, the blower motor resistor has been fitted in a different position. Problem: Repeated premature clutch failure and possible damaged dual mass flywheel. Solution: A revised final drive ratio (5.13) rear axle should be fitted.
Why is my starter not working on my Ford Transit?
Problem: The starter motor fails to engage especially in cold weather. Solution: The probable cause is condensation in the starter motor, causing it not to engage. The condensation will freeze preventing current flow. A new starter motor with revised solenoid should be fitted. The revised starter motor has been fitted since 08/2003.

What causes erratic fuel gauge readings in Ford Transit?
Problem: Erratic fuel gauge readings for LPG vehicles. Solution: The probable cause is the LPG fuel gauge being wired to the fuel pump relay. This causes problems as the fuel pump relay will go through a cycle to prime the fuel rail. This will cause a brief break in the circuit.
