To show how ALLDATA Repair can be used in the real world, here is a genuine case involving a 2016 Ford Transit 2.0L EcoBlue:
Query
Experts at the ALLDATA Repair Info Centre Service recently received an enquiry from an independent workshop. The team were struggling to diagnose an issue on a 2016 Ford Transit 2.0L EcoBlue. The concern was a strange noise emanating from the vehicle’s engine compartment area and only appeared to sound when the vehicle was being driven – not stationary. Furthermore, the driver reported random starting issues.
Despite a thorough diagnostic scan, no DTCs appeared, nor did any recorded issues. Perplexed, the workshop contacted ALLDATA Repair Info Centre Service for assistance.
Solution
Reassuringly, ALLDATA Repair’s professionals were able to come to the workshop’s aid! This issue pops up now and then, with the main suspect the alternator pulley. In this case, the alternator needs to be removed, which then gives the technician access to the pulley (see attached).
The correct pulley can be acquired via local distributors or dealer, if the technician has the vehicle’s VIN number. To complete a professional and accurate repair, ALLDATA Europe advised technicians to follow the detailed OEM step-by-step instructions – found in ALLDATA Repair.
