After watching this video which is excellent, I did the full service and found it very easy, due to the excellent commentary! I took my time and in all, the full service took me 2 hours! Saved myself a fortune!
@@SPANNERRASH There is one problem though! It is quite clear to me and the experienced Mechanic I showed the Oil Filter to, after I had to Smash the old one off because it was not done at the last, so called Garage full Service, costing a fortune, that they had not changed it! The mechanic said that it was Solid and at least 3 years old! Can I ask? Where does the inner Spring belong? If you require, I will forward you a photo!!
@@stephensimpkins8622 I'm not sure what spring it would be. Perhaps it is part of an oil pressure relief valve that may be built into the oil filter housing. I would recommend searching Transit forums looking for your specific model. I would think though that the spring went in below the filer, but there may be other parts to it like a washer or a disk. Sorry I can't be more helpful, I haven't seen one with a spring.
I'm looking at you from Poland, I'm also waiting for such a repair, but the video is very helpful. Thank you, the mechanics already wanted to replace the head gasket. dzieki thanks
Cool, thanks. Sometimes a fault in the oil cooler can give a lot of symptoms that look like head gasket failure. I would definately look at it first. Godd luck.
@@SPANNERRASH I also performed a test with a HEAD GASKET LEAK TESTER with color-changing liquid. The fluid in the tester did not change color, which means it is OK. I only replaced the oil cooler - fact ! the seals were also hard and flat. NOW THE CAR HAS TO BE DRIVED, EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED 3 TIMES, IT IS NOT SO EASY TO CLEAN IT. I will keep an eye on it, maybe it will be necessary to replace the whole thing as in the video.
Thanks for a great video. Could I ask you a question please? I have a 2012 transit (same model) and the coolant reservoir is always pressurised once I drive the van. It seems to be driving fine but I’ve noticed anytime I twist off the coolant cap there’s a release of pressure. Is this normal as it’s an expansion tank or should the pressure release itself when the van is off and cold ? Thank you 😊
The radiator cap should keep the radiator pressurised when the engine warms up. If the pressure you are talking about is only slight when cold, and the the engine temp seems to be fine when running, then I personally wouldn't worry about it. If it is causing you concern, try a new cap first, I think that when cold the cap should release all pressure, but aren't quite as good as this when they get old. Hope this helps.
Run some degreaser through it. I used Screwfix No Nonsense degreaser on a similar one, watered down to 10%. Make sure you give it a good flushing after though.
I suspect not. The Oil Temp Sensor is usually sealed with an O ring. Mostly you can take it out and put the new one in with minimal oil loss. Of course if you are slow at it you will loose more oil, but if you catch it in a clean container you can pop it back in. Hope this helps.
I would suspect that it would be hard to bypass, especially as it has the oil filter built into the same unit. I wouldn't like to do with out a filter.
Filling filters with oil seems to be a pretty modern idea to me. In reallity the filter will fill as you are cranking the engine, and some filters are at an angle where most of the oil would come out before you had full screwed it home. So I don't think it is necessary.
Time, patience and a lot of degreaser. I really can't say any more, Even when you have flushed it as much as you can, when you have done the repair I would run it up to temperature with deionised water and change it a couple of times, Before putting coolant in. Hope this helps.
@@SPANNERRASH nice one mate, I'll be looking forward to it. I've got a few hints to share myself if need be with the issues I've had with mine, I've got a low mileage transit sport, and I noticed it had an oil leak around the oil cooler area. I replaced the pan last year as it was pretty bubbled with rust so I wondered if I'd not sealed it properly
amigo muito obrigado tenho uma fuga de óleo no copo do filtro quanto mais aperto mais óleo sai vendo o seu vídeo acabei de fazer a encomendo das peças fui pelo o seu link , abraço de Portugal
Fantastic video! Do you know what sensor that is? Mine is leaking from there by the looks of it. Reckon I just need to tighten it up or will I need to replace it? If it's the latter, do I need to drain the coolant or just the oil?
Judging from where it is I am sure it is the oil pressure switch. They are know to leak and are quite cheap. I am pretty sure you only need to drop the oil but I suspect that you can get away with just quickly swapping the sensor without draining the oil. I would do that unless an oil change was needed. Good luck
Hi, I put the link Here's a link to the oil cooler housing and filter I used: ebay.us/sM1xkM in the description. I've copied it here for you. It comes with the rubber seal instead of a gasket, worked great for me.
Arr I asked the man in the car spares shop if I could swap to this style of oil cooler and he said no. Anyway seen this video just in time and ebay had a offer on 20%off plus I had a watch on one and the seller offered 5%off so picked one up for £35 Thanks for the help
one question: in the the oil cooler housing and filter you used the filter itself is included? or we have to buy it apart? In anoher hand, Why you add as a link the Ford Transit Mk7 2.2 TDCi Service Kit Oil Air Cabin Filter ?
Hi, yes the filter is included. I included the link for the cabin filter because I changed it at the same time. You don't need it for the oil cooler change. I hope the makes sense.
I noticed I have another question. I see how you loose the first water hose, as it has an screw, but I dont see how you do the other one, that particulary has another system and there's no screw. There a speciall tecnic? or you just wiggleled the tube and took it out directly?
@@marcelrchav92 if it hasn't got a screw it might be one of the crimp style clamps. If so there is probably a section that is raised up with the sides crimped in, if so a flat headed screwdriver in the middle of the crimped section will usually loosen it. You will have to replace it with a more standard jubilee clip when you put it back. Good luck.
hey buddy i know its not good form but out of desperation wondered if i could ask your advice ,my mk7 has a big cooling issue ,system is pressurising and when i use a sniff test theres bubbles a plenty ,i dont mind it being a hg / crack issue but dont want to do that immense job if its not the problem ,is it possible that a blockage or air draw could cause it or would you advise its defo the hg ,thanks in advance
If there is extra gas and pressure in the coolant system it has to be coming from somewhere that creates gas and makes pressure. I can't think of anything that would be doing both of those things that isn't related to the combustion chamber(s) so I think your first diagnoses is very likely to be correct. You could spend a lot of time trying to investigate other things, but in my experience that frequently turns out to be wishful thinking. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Good luck with fixing it.

Its a different story on a sprinter van Great video and comments are good read aswell
Thanks for that!
Thanks for the video mate. Especially the tear apart at the end, very interesting to see the innards
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for the excellent video. Will be having a go at mine today, but the oil is in the cooling system, so a fair bit of cleaning that as well.
It is a nuisance to get all of the oil out. But with a bit of patience and the odd dash of Fairy it can be done. Good luck.
Great video, keep up the transit maintenance videos, I'm finding them extremely useful.
Cheers pal, glad they're of help to you!
No doubt there'll be more Ford Transit episodes to come. 👍

Top man nice vedio all clear no quak quak ❤

Super easy and well explained video now I just need to figure out how to clean the radiator as mine did mix 😂
Glad its useful to you! Oh dear, you'll probably want to do plenty of flushing through it.
I'm the same with mine so any tips on flushing would be appreciated
@tonyprice1526 I gave up, sold the van and bought another one, the amount of work vs the value of the van wasn't really worth my time or a garages
Run some degreaser through it. I used Screwfix No Nonsense degreaser on a similar one, watered down to 10%. Make sure you give it a good flushing after though.
@SPANNERRASH thanks but have done it. 7 flushes in total.
Great thank you, mine has been leaking into the coolant. Will order the updated cooler.
It's a bit messy when it has leaked intot he coolant, but it is basically the same job, just a little more cleaning.
Thanks. Don't need to do my cooler atm but know how now :)
No problem!
Great video and helpfull do you know if you afto drop the oil out to chang the oil temperature sensor
I suspect not. The Oil Temp Sensor is usually sealed with an O ring. Mostly you can take it out and put the new one in with minimal oil loss. Of course if you are slow at it you will loose more oil, but if you catch it in a clean container you can pop it back in. Hope this helps.
Very good video, thank you.
Cheers, hope it helped you out.
@@SPANNERRASH I have a 2.4L MK7, did you ever do a video on a gearbox oil change?
@@LegioXXVV Sadly never got around to it, hopefully it's a nice simple one.
mais uma vez obrigado recebi a peça hoje já instalei ficou impecavel já não pinga óleo
Obrigado por assistir
Hi
Good explanation
Very helpful
My question is do we have to have this extra item or can you pay pass this oil cooler
I would suspect that it would be hard to bypass, especially as it has the oil filter built into the same unit. I wouldn't like to do with out a filter.
Bypass just water going in and out. Not the whole oil cooler
Hi can you tell me the part number for the replacement spin on filter for when an oil change is due please.
Not sure what part number you want, but I would buy one of these.. ebay.us/QVX0IB
It was good. It will help me to solve mine.
Glad its useful for you, cheers!
Have you got full video of changing water pump on transit fwd 2010
Sorry, not a job I have done on video. Hope you can find one.
Did the oil filter upgrade last?
Worked a real treat, I sold the van a while back but I imagine the new owner hasn't has any issue with it. No brainer really.
Great video, thanks for your reply, all the best.
Do you need to fill the filter with oil before fitting the new cooler?
Filling filters with oil seems to be a pretty modern idea to me. In reallity the filter will fill as you are cranking the engine, and some filters are at an angle where most of the oil would come out before you had full screwed it home. So I don't think it is necessary.
Hi my oil cooler has flooded the cooling system can you tell how to flush the system and what to use.
Time, patience and a lot of degreaser. I really can't say any more, Even when you have flushed it as much as you can, when you have done the repair I would run it up to temperature with deionised water and change it a couple of times, Before putting coolant in. Hope this helps.
