Is it a problem if you suck the oil out rather than drain?Only if you leave the oil draining more than ~15mins.

I had a quote from supplying Ford dealer to do my last Rangers oil pump for around £500.
i didn’t bother and part exed it instead.
Not just the transit. The same engine is in a number of other makes of car and they've all had a recall. I haven't looked into if for 12 months but sure it was in one of the land rover models and in a Renault.Now thinking about this if pumps won’t prime if left for more than a few mins between draining and refilling with oil
how do they prime wen been replaced and engine in bits?
or on initial build in the engine factory?
And why hasn’t anyone taken ford to court over The whole failing pump fiasco?
known issue and a recall in the transit but not with the ranger fitted with the same engine? How are they getting away with it?
Don’t buy one they are a heap of sh!t, can categorically tell you that, we’ve had two cease engines and ford don’t care, can’t even tell you how much I hate them 2016 and 2017 cars both dead. Gearboxes aren’t serviceable so they have a limited life. Don’t even bother considering these glorified builders sheds.
Please Feel free to get the best interest credit card and want to have your sanity tested. Ford have 0 interest in their customers never will have another ford in any shape or form.Apart from all that pretty good then

I assumed this meant they overfill the engine and let it sit overnightIndependent garage just changed the pump. + 17 litres of oil to prime the pump and left overnight before draining down to full level.
Body off isn't that bad actually, we've done a few at home now and can be off and working on the engine in a few hours! A Vouge on the other hand is a nightmare to strip down as you can't take the body off.Its surely not much more than the undertray, the propshaft, the subframe with diff and axle shafts and the sump at worse. It's a pig of a job unless you have a proper lift and are a mechanic, otherwise its just another job for the day. It could be much worse and yet another LR Disco/Range Rover body-off job and a V6 engine to strip down.

I did have and it repeated again a month after i have installed a new engine and ford groblesdal are saying warranty does not cover it cause they auspect due to the colour of fuel ; is the main cause. Hai i am confused cause the engine its new.I have a 2013 Ford ranger with 2.2 litre engine, just coming up to 4 year old and has done 58000 miles. The ranger is serviced by Ford garage.
This week the engine stopped while driving and after rolling onto grass verge I tried to start it again but was dead.
Had it recovered to Ford garage, where I have been told that the engine has seized up. Ford say the oil pump failed and then the turbo and then the engine seized.
This all happened with no warning lights and quickly as it was driving fine and then just stopped.
Any one else had similar problems?
Get your fuel tested by an independent engineer or fuel company and present McGee Ford with the evidence if it confirms fuel to be OK. Sounds like the dealer trying to cover up a faulty install or engine if it has seized up again catastrophically. Dodgy fuel should only impair the fuel system not cause an engine to seize up with bearing failures.I did have and it repeated again a month after i have installed a new engine and ford groblesdal are saying warranty does not cover it cause they auspect due to the colour of fuel ; is the main cause.
