Just a heads-up for any Custom owners who aren’t aware of this;
The 2.0 Euro 6 engine is fitted with a ‘wet belt’ located inside the engine which runs in the engine oil. During failed DPF regens, excess diesel is dumped into the sump which progressively dilutes the oil - and also attacks the belt, resulting in a large number of catastrophic engine failures, even on vans which have only done 30-40k. I’ve always changed my oil every 6k from new- but plenty of owners follow Ford’s loony-tunes service recommendations and change every 24k or even less frequently.
They’ve issued a recall for all 2.0 engines. The belt will initially be inspected, if it shows any sign of deterioration it will be replaced FOC.
If you weren’t aware of this, get it booked into a Ford dealer pronto.
