The Ford Transit has issues with its thermostat, which can be both inaccurate and stuck, leading to engine problems. There are potential issues like a spark plug dislodging, causing engine trouble, or a loose gasket needing tightening. Overheating is a critical concern that can result in car fires or even an explosion. Excessive oil consumption may require more frequent oil changes. Routine maintenance includes replacing the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, changing the coolant every 60,000 miles, and swapping out spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless it's a copper one. With a copper spark plug, replacement is needed around every 30,000 miles.

One common sign of a malfunctioning thermostat is overheating due to the thermostat failing to open properly. This prevents the coolant from circulating to the engine, causing the coolant in the radiator to stay cool while the engine quickly heats up.
