mike 202 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hi All, Just a bit of info for Ford based motorhomes. Mine an Autosleeper on 2008 Transit Mk7 2.4 350M Set of to Spain via Bilbao and got 60 miles and noticed oil on the ground, the Brake Vacuum Pump was leaking. I immediatly went into panic mode and total shock as the service schedule is 2yrs and 30k miles and I have it serviced every year/4k miles by Ford main dealer. Last service 3 weeks/20miles before we left home. Found Ford main dealer in Spain and after 5 days wait for a Genuine Ford pump and 498 Euro dent in wallet on my way again. With trepidation checked under bonnet each time we stopped on the 400 miles to Bonterra Park in Bennecasim and fingers crossed all now seems ok. The Spanish garage said that the pump should not have leaked at such a low mileage (20k) so will have words with Ford customer service in UK and see if they would be willing to make a contribution. You never know. Anyway enjoying sun in spain for next 5 weeks. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallii Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Good luck with Ford, you may need it! My Mk7 2.2 had the injector pump fail in Spain (at 30K) again there were no spares to be had. A week in a hotel and parts flown from Germany and we were back on the road. They changed the pump, fuel manifold, injectors and removed the tank and flushed it. Cost was €2300, you got off light :-) Still, I have had no problems since (now on 50K). H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
