This one came in with no brakes. The cause? The wet timing belt had broken up and sent debris straight into the vacuum pump, destroying it completely. No vacuum pump means no brake servo assistance.
The Ford EcoBlue 2.0 wet belt is a known issue on 2017 onwards Transits. When the belt deteriorates, debris circulates through the engine oil and can take out other components — in this case, the brakes.
Full wet belt service carried out including new belt, tensioners, and vacuum pump replacement.
⚠️ If your Transit Custom has covered 60,000 miles or is 5 years old, don’t wait for a warning light. By then it can already be too late.
