Hey, thanks for your insight! My Transit has about 95096 km on it now, and the last service was a few months ago. I thought it was a minor issue at first, but it looks like I'm in for a major repair. I just hope the cost doesn't get too high. But you're right, you can never know exactly what's wrong until you get it checked out. Thanks again!

No problem, always happy to help! With the number of kilometers, it could well be that the camshaft adjustment on your Transit has suffered some damage. Your van is already a few years old, so such things can happen from time to time. Nevertheless, it could of course be something else. I would definitely recommend going to a specialist. Hopefully you can solve the problem quickly and not too expensively. I'll keep my fingers crossed and wish you the best of luck!

Hello, I had a similar problem with my Ford Mondeo (built in 2003, gasoline engine), which is basically the Transit's little brother. My car knowledge is rather modest, I only have some experience. The same symptom as yours was the reason for my visit to the garage. It turned out that the fault was caused by my camshaft control unit, which was defective due to worn rubber sealing rings. The cost of the repair for me was 1620 euros. This should also solve your problem. Can you give me more information about your vehicle? Perhaps the year of manufacture is also important. I hope my answer helps a little!
