2016 transit custom 2.0 overheating

[Warrior]

Yesterday without warning my 130ps custom limited overheated, it’s just gone 33k this week and has adblue

It 1st came to my attention when it lost power and went into limp mode. Quickley follows buy an overheat warning on the dash. Pulled over and let it cool down and drove home slowley in limp mode.

Ford assist have been out to it and it has a fault code P0217 over heat.

But they don’t know why. He also mentioned my dpf is at 119% but it won’t let him do a forced regen.

Vans going in on Monday to my local ford.

Anyone seen or heard of anything like this? The aa patrol called another patrol who is ex ford and he thinks head gasket has failed but there doesn’t appear to be any coolant loss of water in the oil.

head gasket failure doesnt automatically mean oil/water mix, in fact in most cases it doesnt. blocked dpf will make it run hotter, infact there have been cases where engines have literally gone into meltdown due to being driven with a blocked dpf

The aa patrol that came out said he had been to an Astra befor me that was over heating and that was a blocked dpf, I haven’t any dpf warnings on the dash or any codes in the ecu.

maybe you dont have any codes for blocked dpf but 119% is deffo blocked!

It is but the patrol who came out said that they are really blocked when there at 180%

ive never seen one at 180% blocked, recently took off one 140% blocked and that was enough that it took all night for dpf cleaning solution soak its way through the core, if i remember rightly the pressure sensor was saying 27bar pressure!

Ford have been working on it all day and just called me with an update,

They drove the van and it faulted very quickly overheated and shut down, like it did to me,

They thought it was the water pump, there plastic and the inners fall off apparently, thats been removed and is like new, they replaced it and road tested again for it to fault at nealry exsaclty the same place, they have now ordered a new thermostat housing complete with stat and sensors, he’s admitted to me they don’t really know why it’s doing it and are just going to change parts until it’s fixed.

That's not really what you want to hear from them, fitting parts at random is going to work out very expensive for you especially if it does n't solve your problem.
Is this a warranty job or are you forking out of your own pocket?

I forgot to say they have already changed the water pump and its not solved it,

its under warranty,

im a gas engineer and repair boilers, I don't just change parts, we diagnose and then prove before we fit them, everyone and again we don't get it right 1st time, where only human
