Is there a adapter to connect a C cable to?

Need a C cable charger for my digital rear view mirror.

Help diagnosing coolant problem

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

On a 2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6l ecoboost the coolant starts to bubble once the car reaches a certain temperature and it gets pressurized well above the max line and starts dripping out of the vent hole. My temperature needle is at the mid mark and it’s not overheating. Lately I start the day with the coolant below the minimum line, I’ll add just enough to get me in between the minimum and maximum line, then it’ll bubble and pressurize and loose coolant and it’s a repeating process. My family mechanic replaced the radiator but it did not fix the problem. Any pointers as to what can it be?
We also did a sniff test with the dye and it never turned any color beside blue.

Looking for a mirror that dips down a little further than a generic one.

I’m planning on putting a digital rearview mirror to hang on it. Also the generic ones seem to be upside down. Probably because they aren’t for commercial vectors. The angle just makes them go straight up.

My bike hauling camper conversion

This has come up a few times now so I figured I'd share the latest iteration of my van.

There is a 1/2" sheet of plywood bolted to the floor using the van's existing holes and hardware. The tongue and groove floor is floating. The bed is attached using threaded inserts that go through both layers of flooring.

The rear seats come out no problem. The middle row has hardware that keeps it from easily being removed and as a result I said fuck it and just ground the bolts off and sold the seats.

Bought a 2014. Transmission question.

I bought a 2014 with 218,000km (135,000 miles). I've noticed that the transmission does have abrupt shifts. I've read some conflicting things, in older forums, with some people saying their connects 6F35 shifted hard from brand new. So I don't know.

The unit I got had a full service history with regular oil changes, and I got it well below book value, however I noticed it's never had a transmission fluid change. I'm not sure if it's already too high mileage to risk doing one?

I was looking at new lower milage Connects, but I decided to go with this one, because even if the transmission goes today, I can fit a remanufactured transmission and the vehicle would end up costing the same as the other ones I was looking at, which were all 8-10k more.

What to watch for buying a used Transit Connect?

Hi,

I'm considering buying a 2018 Transit Connect Wagon with close to 150k km on it. The asking price is 17k CAD. I know the transmission is a common issue on these vehicles and the current owner says he had the transmission fluid changed every 50k km. The vehicle has been treated against rust every year which can also be an issue specially here in Canada. I will get it inspected before buying but are there any other specific things to watch for on the Transit Connect?

What's this bolt 2024 Transit Connect PHEV

What's this bolt!? The one in the red circle.

It's a LWB transit connect PHEV registered in 2025.

In the 'active' trim with the fold down seats.

I'm wondering if this bolt is suitable for tie downs or fixings or is for something crucial and my van will fall to bits if I undo it 🤣

My 2012 ford transit refurbish.

Bought this from a city auction for 8500. Had 53k miles on it and was immaculately maintained engine wise. Slowly but surely turning into my carpentry company/mini weekend camper van. Will keep ya posted with updates and upgrades

Possible torque converter issue

So my car is possibly having a torque converter issue- I can’t say for sure because it’s just a guess from my car friend but it’s shuddering/shaking when changing gears like it’s getting stuck. It’s gotten worse over the past year. it’s a 2015 ford escape eco boost titanium. Anyone here know what this kind of repair is gonna cost me or the best way to get this fixed for a minimal amount?
