Phoenix Engineering, awesome plug, nice to see even more people who know what they are doing and actually care/take pride in their work
There was a known concern with the airfliters getting wet on that model year transit. The water drips down from the scuttle panal and soaks the air filter. Ford made a modified drip tray to direct the water away. I can't remember if it was a Recall or a TSB. I hope this will help 👍
That is priceless information. I live in Oz and my MK6 was drowned numerous times because of that puny scuttle panel. We don't get snow. But we do get Monsoonal type rains that overwhelm the scuttle drains spilling over into the engine bay. ....right on top of the fuse box! Perfect Ford design!
Just listening to Chris talkiing while inspecting this van is absolutely priceless, the guys is so layback, does anything phase the guy, does he get upset and does he realise how humorous his comments are, his skills are out of this world and the way that Rob plays second fiddle ! keep up the good work guys,I'm hanging out for more content as it comes through.
Keep the lives in lads. One minute I'm having anxiety whether Rob's gonna find his loom plug, then Chris breaks the ice by mentioning everyone's staring at his backside! 😂😂😂
The guys at Phoenix are so much like you and Chris. Great at what they do and excellent at explaining the process.
It’s a pity they don’t have a RUclips channel!
Excellent video again guys 👏
@@24k__J Well some of us are retired, i am mid seventies not the best of health but used to work in body shops around Havering. My other half comes from Romford am always interested in what these fellas and Rainman Ray are doing. Both 100% honest and do the very best they can.
@Maria CANCER Hi Maria I hope you overcome your current health condition and your channel be successful too.wishing you all the best.
@@johnchincotta1qwdb15 it’s a scammer bud 👍
@@sruk Thanks for your advice Rob,too many dishonest people in the social network these days.
@@24k__J Maybe the last thing YOU need - don't talk for everyone else on the planet. And why do you mention Chris and Rob? You did a perfect example of a meaningless rant.
I'm a complete philistine when it comes to motors (I much prefer older cars, especially American muscle cars from the 60s) but your videos are completely engrossing. Such an easy going manner and very respectful.
More power to you Chris and Rob
God bless 🙏
There's nothing more that I can add to Mark Murphey's comment; Both you and Phoenix are really skilled at what you do and I hope that both you and they remain in Business for a long time to come.
Phenomenal level of skill and knowledge in that engine shop. Fantastic to watch Chris strip down that engine so meticulously. Look forward to seeing it go back in.
This one is probably in the top 10 of your videos, a great mix of time lapse and huffing and puffing. Was that Rob getting his hands dirty?
As usual, Chris is on it and the guys at Phoenix having the engine stripped in a few moments was fascinating to watch. Thanks guys.
My big ginger cat, Duke, loves your show. I actually took a picture this morning of him watching intently. He especially likes the fast action sequences 😹 Keep up the good work. I've been working on cars for decades and I still learn things every time I watch.
new transits are pants, 3 engines + 2 sets of injectors in 6 months in one van, kept blowing holes in the pistons. we are a main dealer franchise, not many people can afford our labour rates, so fitting new engines is rare. in 12 months we have done 5 transits , 1 fiat, 1 renault, + 1 pugeot, which is the same engine as a transit. i did my apprenticeship on transits, where did it all go wrong?? yeah rob, the wiring is a right ball-ache around the dpf/bellhousing
Brilliant video how great is it to see a flourishing small engineering company at the top of their game doing great work they deserve every success! The uk was once full of such companies that could fix anything from a steam engine to a knife sharpener 😂 love seeing these young guys being mentored by the daddy
I’ve learned so much about engines and diagnostics from your channel bro 👍🏻
Absolutely Rob and Chris are experts and such a good rapport…. These two guys are brilliant!!!!
What a great episode Rob, love looking at the guys in Phoenix, my God that old guy is a wealth of knowledge the old British engineering spirit lives on , and here am I living in Ireland yet my father was trained and served as a millwright in the British merchant navy great stuff keep up the wonderful content,Chris was clearly right about that mans wisdom.
Well said!
Two hard working guys- thanks for letting us in.
Not sure if you know. There was a recall on them Transits for them air filters getting wet... Check with your local dealer. Could be the cause of the engine failure. Worth a check.
What this tells you is they use crappy engines in the ford transit these days.Great video guys.
Is it bad injectors causing the failures tho
blame the french [engine from pugeot]
If that statement is right. It's probably because it's too expensive to make a really good one that just goes forever but doesn't produce as much power or has worse fuel economy, than the latest throw-away jobbies. The MK6 2.4L RWD is about where the sweet spot is IMHO.
I've just remembered the engine reconditioners we used in the 90.s had his place next to a main railway line,he had a timetable for when the trains came by and never did any skimming or grinding during those times (true story)
GREAT VIDEO Rob/Chris - you always find such friendly and knowledgeable people to work with !!
The variety on your channel is one of the things that keeps it fresh. Great video and facinating to watch the guys at Pheonix do their stuff a lot of skill and knowledge there - long may they continue!
Hi Rob and Chris, excellent video, loved the getting stuck straight in, engine out and off to the machine shop. Look forward to the next one.. Alex.
Phoenix are next level with there skills and knowledge and the lwb high top transit is perfect for a self made motorhome excellent video guy's see you Wednesday 👌👌👌
Great video. I particularly like the way you always try to have a well defined endpoint rather that leave us hanging!
Brilliant video!! Really interesting content, couldnt be better!! Good to know the people you use benefit from their input into it too! Great stuff!
Good evening Rob and Chris. What an interesting video and what lovely guys Adam and his Dad are.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Yet again another fantastic video, getting into the root cause of engine failure!! Well done guys loved it .
Can't wait to see this going back in and running ! What an achievement.
See you in the next video.
Hi Rob and Chris I still don't know how U2 keep on tuning out great videos and still keep on working thankyou for all the work you both do take care both 😉👍
Brilliant video Gents. Phoenix Engineering came to the rescue again. I think it is great that people are coming from Ireland to a small firm here in the UK, really pleased for them. They will have a new engine ready in a few days at the rate they work so you won't have very long to wait, spot on! Thanks for another video Rob and Chris, Rob I thought you were going to say 'I got all the way home and realised I left the mic behind!' 😁👍👍
Great episode guys, glad you didn’t cut what you appeared to be planning to. An extended look at some live work makes for some great content. The team at Phoenix look second to none for knowledge and the service they provide.
This is one of the best videos you have done. Interesting, comprehensive, and of all things no waffle!!! Thanks for introducing these folk to us again. Knowledge of cars almost flows through their veins, and don't you just know that just like you two, things will be done proper. Cheers, Bob
That episode was absolutely fascinating Rob, (Good shout taking that knackered engine out straight away and getting it down to Phoenix Engineering rather than wasting Chris’s time on it. Nice work boys!) 👍
Wow! those guys at Phoenix are really bang on with what they are doing...Someone will end up with a cracking van when you guys have worked your magic. Have a good rest of your weekend...👍
Closed my eyes and it’s Peter Cook and Dudley Moore but without the swearing. Brilliant
Awesome episode. Love seeing small engineering companies turning things around 👌
I bought one with the same engine 2014 164000 miles. Loads of back pressure and using about 1 litre of oil every 1000 miles. Been told the engine is toast and not to travel too far but it runs perfect (bit smoky on start up) and hasn’t got any worse in 4000 miles since it was diagnosed as worn piston rings.
Maybe time to get some form of shelter set up externally for these higher vans that won't go in the workshop Nice to see the Old skool engineering places like Phoenix keeping up the good work Looks like you will be getting a rapid turnaround on the Engine as they are already half way through getting head & block machined up before you even got there
Super video and those microphones are really doing the job. Wow, you didn't hang about extracting that engine and Phoenix were like a Formula 1 team, already well prepared by the time you got there! Very interesting to see them (and yourselves) at work and at the rate you guys are going, this will be a quick turnaround!
I think Rob just puts the love hearts without reading the comments.
I'm always amazed at the amount of pipes and plumbing on these modern engines, a nightmare for me. the last engine i did a head on was a 1986 VW LT31 6 cylinder petrol had nothing like all that junk you had to remove. Loved the video, keep them coming.
Great project this one guys,will be another nice van fixed and sold in no time,those guys at phoenix are just like you and Chris attention to detail,professional and amazing at what they do,cheers 🙂👍
Thanks Rob and Chris for another great vlog. Those guys at Phoenix certainly know their stuff and crack on with the necessary work. Stay well all 👍🏻
Another great video Lads,it's great to see small engineering shops like Phoenix still going,a world of knowledge!, can't wait to see the end result!🇮🇪👍
These guys are real diamonds, a wealth of knowledge. There are similar engine rebuilders dotted around the country who provide a similar service. Where I live in Shropshire, we have NWS Motor Services on the A41 at Higher Heath who are the go to people for JLR engine reconditioning 👍😎
Enjoying the new microphones 👍🏻 I feel as if I’m there working with you both 😁👍🏻
Good job guys . I'm rebuilding my old ford e van for myself and am very familiar with the way you guys do things. It doesn't matter what country it is, guys like us are all from the same tribe. The machine shop is fantastic.
Well done fellas another great contact you rely on and help you out with their knowledge and experience as you do with other people 😊. Stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Wednesday's video 📹 as usual 👏.
Great video guys as always, just some advice when you have fitted the new engine make sure you do a injector pump learn and pilot learn with a diagnostic helps them transit engines run better instead of hunting on idle. Keep up the good work!
Great video and excellent to see a proper engine engineering shop. 👍👌
Good to see quality engineers like phoenix engineering
They are so polite to each other in this video
Another new project and bam engine out and over to phoenix engineering. I look forward to seeing you fitting the replacement next week.
Nothing dull in these videos, absolutely fantastic channel
Another great video guys I like the fact the guys at the engineering company don't mind being on cameras and showing and explaining what's gone wrong keep up the good work guys looking forward to the next one 👍👍👍👍
Superb video Rob and Chris very interesting seeing you getting the engine out, and those chaps at Phoenix well they are absolutely amazing! ✊👍
Love these sort of videos hope you will do more none runners very interesting videos
It's a pleasure to watch you guys work. Your skill levels and knowledge is excellent. Well done and keep on making such entertaining videos.
Phoenix guys are quick and knowledgeable, great.
Well done rob Chris and the guys at phoenix engineering thanks to your brilliant work skill and explanation that transit will live again 😊
When you meet those that have so much knowledge and experience they really are.worth their weight in gold, really glad to see Adam learning the trade from his father so he can carry on the business
As always lads what A FANTASTIC video! I like to think i know a tiny bit about engines, but when i watch you two im literally blown away.
Id could never strip an engine out like that. I mean where do you even begin!
Im mesmerised by the videos and you and Chris are the perfect team.
Long may it continue.
Never change the format guys. The odd surprise video that you add , re the Harley and the 911 and ferrari are always a wonderful addition.
As always guys keep up the fantastic work!!
I know you will.
Cheers. Terry
looks like a pretty decent van will look great once the engine has been sorted look forward to seeing the next video great work as always guys
Brilliant viewing, so so interesting especially with the guys at Phoenix, looking forward to seeing the next video
Thanks for sharing. Phoenix Engineering is brilliant so cool to watch friendships being born.
Brilliant as usual, and the knowledge of how to use experts within the field second to none
Yet another great video, I had the same problem with my van a couple of years ago, I bought a second hand complete engine, fitted it and a week later done the exact same thing, if I was you Rob get all the injectors all checked, this is a very common problem on the euro 5 engine,
The bit you didn't cut was good, it shows how well you work together .
Another good video,
The service Phoenix gives you is first class!
Well clever dudes,great find,not many left with it all in house,proper old fashioned engineering
Proper old school engineering and what a wealth of knowledge in that workshop 👍
Hi guys nice video...just a tip for you to mull over when you refit the engine if chris new toy got front forks leave the engine mounts on the engine then lift the engine up on the forks and slide the engine back on the spline of the gearbox yes a jack will be needed on the gearbox but you should find it a lot easier than the engine hoist as it gets in the way....I've always stripped the engine bits off and just removed the block and loom but eveyone to there own...good luck
Great Video Rob and Chris , Great seeing the phoenix guy's again top quality service 👏 👍
No matter how big the job you are straight on it ,the guys at the engine place on top of the game with engines, brilliant viewing
The mics really do make viewing so much better!
Piston Broke? Happens to most of us Rob! 🤣🤣
Judging from that soggy air filter @ 6:40 ish, I would say it's hydro locked guys and was driven through high water. It could have been flooded previously and someone has tried to start it with that dripping sponge in the air box. As always a great video with awesome content. I'm also going to be checking out the RS video's I seemed to have missed. DOH!! Thumbs as always!
Great work gentlemen, as always, tremendous workmanship. And such decent outfit that Phoenix is too. Fantastic to see such mutual manners, decency and respect, increasingly rare these days. Keep up the good work and the high standards. Thank you for sharing.
Watching this from boardstairs Kent on holiday don’t think far from your base great video guys 👍👍
Loving these van videos. Pickups I think would be great too.
Nice one Rob ! And so good to see a clean engine shop too 👊👊
So enjoyed this episode, interesting to hear that this engine has been out before. All the "huffing & puffing" proves all the work going on. PS love the lifting sling !!
Very common problem on mk8 rwd transits the wet air filter , bad design on scuttle panel , also very common for a piston to hole with faulty injector , not fords finest moment these 2.2 but better than the wet belt engine in the newer ones .
Good luck with it Rob and Chris 👍🏻
Good morning guys. Those mic 🎤 are working superb 👍🏻 What a cracking video and the guys at phoenix have really got a fantastic set up and are very similar to you two but doing engines 🤩
Great vid as usual, you should attach an awning to the shed so you can continue working on high roof vehicles during the rain
It’s amazing the amount of “stuff” that is attached to the block and sump.
Lovely Jubbly Rob, oh how I wish we could receive the smell coming out of that engine workshop, it would take me back way to many years to my youth.
Core them back doors are very straight oooh! Yeah.
Hello John got a new motor.
You guys are excellent 👌 have a true passion & pride in wot you do
Great video, different in my day, York and Perkings engines on Transits.
Great video, after the Transit MK7 all the new ones are nothing but trouble,
Afternoon Rob and Chris, great video as usual 😊
Didn't the company have the van since new but your car vertical check revealed it had an ownership change in 2017?
Keep it live guys it let’s everyone know that working on an engine removal is not easy, another great post guys
Great video again guys. Hope my fingers are quick on this van 🤞
Rob you remove the glow plugs and use a bore scope to view if the pistons have any damage, this is quicker and cheaper way of a quick diagnosis 👍🏻🏴
Great video. Most interesting. Hey Rob, don't throw a soggy filter down, where Chris is going to lay😅
Check the scuttle as its common on these that water runs down the screen through gaps at the ends of the scuttle and on to the filter one side and ECU the other, Fords did do a diverter kit for them that clips under the scuttle one either end diverting the water away as a "cure" I have them on mine. If i remover the diverters rain water pours into the engine bay. Very bad design fault....
Best video you guys have done for a while in my opinion, keep up the brilliant work and them phoenix guys are the business 👌🏻
Excellent video again chaps and great to see the Phoenix lads again. Hopefully once the engine is sorted, you'll have a healthy profit out of it no bother 👌🏻 look forward to the next one 🙂
6.30 gave me a laugh you chucked tht manky ld air filter right where chris didnt want it ...😂
I had a early version of that transit 2014 and my air filler went the same way ! Turbo started to suck up the wet air filter up 😢 Turned out Ford did a recall or mod to the air box top and put the water deflector rub on the bottom of the windscreen
Excellent video from you guys and Phoenix Engineering 😊👍
Great example of by having all these “go to” specialists, you really have a vehicle salvage rebuild ecology.
