The procurement of the Ford Transit
The Ford Transit was purchased in December 2022 through Mobile. The photos gave a very good impression of the vehicle. The purchase price was €6,000. Unfortunately, since we bought the van in the dark, I was surprised to discover rust in the interior after we emptied it out and took a closer look in daylight.

Problems with the Ford Transit after the purchase
Solutions for the 3 problems (engine stalling, engine fluctuations)
The engine problems were actually very easy to fix. I replaced the diesel pressure sensor, which cost €120 and, as mentioned before, resolved all the issues. Contrary to what the ADAC had said, the sensor could be replaced and connected without any complications.
