    Engine wear in diesel Transit

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Transit Ford Transit Advice Ford Transit 2015

    Is there any way to make a decision about the quality of the fuel system in any of the Ford Transits with diesel engines, for instance does the pump or the injectors wear excessively?

    All of today's diesel engines in light commercials are of the common-rail variety, which operate with very high pressures. That leads, in particular, to wear in the fuel injectors. They're all the same, most use the same pump and injectors and as a result they generally have similar wear patterns. I don't believe the Transit is any better, or any worse, than the others in this respect.
