Vehicle
Ford Transit Connect
The small van, and despite the name it has nothing mechanically to do with the full-size Transit — it is built on Ford's C-segment car platform, front-driven, with car engines and car electronics, where the Transit is a much heavier vehicle of its own. Searching the wrong one wastes a great deal of time. The passenger version is the Tourneo Connect in Europe. The 1.6 and later 1.5 TDCi diesels are the engines most of these carry outside North America, and their particulate filters and EGR coolers generate most of the codes; the North American cars are petrol and share their engines with the Focus.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
