- Engine / equipment
- Ford Ranger 2.5 and 3.0 TDCi (PJ/PK generation)
- Period mentioned
- 2006–2011
- Symptoms
- A clutch that slips or judders before 100,000 km on manual versions; on some automatics, slipping gears.
- Possible cause described
- The Australian guide notes that the clutch can wear out before 100,000 km with normal use and that the dual-mass flywheel then usually has to be replaced too, which makes the repair expensive. There were recalls for possible cracks at the bonnet striker (2010), the Ford accessory cruise control (2011) and the tow-bar tongue (2012).
- Check for the garage
- Test the clutch on a hill and under load; listen to the flywheel at idle; on the automatic, check that it does not slip; check the recalls and look for worksite or off-road damage.
