Ford Transit Custom Tuning, DPF & AdBlue Solutions
The Ford Transit Custom is one of the UK’s most popular commercial vehicles—and for good reason. Reliable, practical, and versatile, it’s a staple for tradespeople, fleets, and business owners alike. Since its launch in 2012, it has consistently been recognised as a leading mid-size van, even winning major industry awards for performance and usability. (Wikipedia)
However, like many modern diesel vehicles, the Transit Custom isn’t without its common issues—particularly when it comes to emissions systems such as the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and AdBlue/DEF system. At Tech Tuning Northwest, we specialise in resolving these problems while also unlocking the full performance potential of your van.
Common Ford Transit Custom Issues
If you own or operate a Transit Custom, you may already be familiar with some of the following problems:
🚫 DPF Blockages
Frequent short journeys and stop-start driving can cause the DPF to clog, leading to warning lights, reduced performance, and even limp mode.
🚫 AdBlue System Faults
AdBlue systems are designed to reduce emissions, but they’re also known for sensor failures, crystallisation, and costly repair bills.
🚫 Reduced Power & Fuel Efficiency
Factory settings are designed to meet emissions regulations—not maximise performance or economy.
🚫 EGR Valve Issues
Carbon build-up in the EGR system can lead to rough running, poor throttle response, and increased fuel consumption.
