Experiencing issues with your Ford Transit Custom's engine can be both frustrating and time-consuming. As a UK based master technician with over 15 years of experience, I've come across numerous cases where the engine of a Ford Transit Custom (2012 to present) starts showing signs of wear or failure. Let’s explore the common issues, their symptoms, and the typical repair process involved with a reconditioned engine for this popular van model.
Engine problems in the Ford Transit Custom can stem from several sources, but typical culprits include high mileage wear and tear, improper maintenance, and occasionally, manufacturing faults. You might notice symptoms such as unusual knocking sounds, excessive exhaust smoke, loss of power, or increased oil consumption. These signs can indicate that critical internal engine components are damaged and may require a comprehensive inspection.
The process of reconditioning an engine for a Ford Transit Custom involves several detailed steps. Initially, the engine is completely disassembled, cleaned, and inspected. Worn out or damaged parts are replaced, and the engine is reassembled with new gaskets, seals, and often new bearings. The engine is then tested thoroughly to ensure it meets specific performance criteria.
While repairing or replacing the engine in your Ford Transit Custom is an option, it’s worth considering the overall cost and time implications. Reconditioning an engine, or even replacing it, can be a significant investment, and there can still be other mechanical issues that might arise down the line. Have you considered selling your current van and upgrading to a newer model?

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.
