Engines: 2.0 / 2.4 Duratorq (Diesel)
Dual-mass flywheel on the 2000–2006 Transit that ruins the starter motorGearbox
- Engine / equipment
- Ford Transit VI 2.0 / 2.4 Duratorq diesel with dual-mass flywheel
- Period mentioned
- 2000–2006
- Symptoms
- Flywheel noise or knocking, vibration when starting and starter-motor failures (the pinion does not engage).
- Possible cause described
- The starter sits right below the dual-mass flywheel: filings from the worn flywheel fall onto the pinion, dry out its lubrication and jam it. That is why some starter warranty claims were rejected; Borg & Beck offers a solid-flywheel kit.
- Check for the garage
- If the starter fails, also check the flywheel and clean out the filings; when replacing the clutch, consider the solid-flywheel kit.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
