As a master tech mechanic with 15 years of hands-on experience in the UK, I've dealt with my fair share of engine troubles, particularly with popular models like the Ford Transit Connect. If you are contemplating the purchase of a Ford Transit Connect (2013 to present) engine, it’s crucial to understand both the typical issues these engines face and the complexity of engine replacement or repair.
The Ford Transit Connect is a reliable workhorse, but like any vehicle, it’s not devoid of mechanical problems. Engine troubles in the Ford Transit Connect can range from simple issues like minor oil leaks to more severe problems such as engine misfiring, loss of power, and problematic starts. Symptoms that might indicate the need for a closer look include unusual noises, smoke from the exhaust, excessive oil consumption, and a check engine light that refuses to go off.
These symptoms could be caused by a variety of issues such as worn spark plugs, clogged fuel injectors, or more serious problems like a failing turbocharger or issues with the timing belt. Each of these problems not only requires specific expertise but also a significant investment in both time and money.
Repairing or replacing an engine involves a series of complex steps that can quickly become costly. After diagnosing the problem, the engine might need to be partially or completely rebuilt or replaced, which involves labor-intensive disassembly, parts replacement, and reassembly. Depending on the severity of the issue, this process can be both time-consuming and expensive.
Given the potential costs and downtime associated with repairing or replacing a Ford Transit Connect engine, you might wonder if it’s worth the hassle. This is where Vandervan can offer a simpler solution. Why not sell your existing van and upgrade to a newer model or different vehicle that meets your current needs?

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.
However, with our van buying service, you stand a better chance of obtaining a great price.
The process with us is quick and straightforward. Simply start with a free valuation and contrast this with your part exchange offer. You might be delighted to find how much more you could get from using our service than you’d get from a part exchange!

All we need is a copy of your driving license, finance settlement letter (if the van has outstanding finance), any service records and the V5 logbook.
If you don't have the V5 logbook, see "Can I sell my van with no V5 Logbook" below.
We buy any van, literally. Every van has a value, new or old, running or not.
We buy any van make or model, and any body type. Get a valuation today and see if we can help you sell your van.
Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
