Description

This was the last thing we expected to happen… Just one mile from home after a lovely walk in Tunbridge Wells, our trusty Ford Transit campervan “Flossie” suddenly threw us a little surprise! After some investigation, we discovered the turbo had completely failed. In this video, we take you through the full story: the unexpected breakdown, the scary symptoms of a runaway engine, how we sourced the replacement parts, and a full step-by-step of how we replaced the turbo ourselves. Whether you're living vanlife full-time, converting your own campervan, or just curious about how to fix a blown turbo on a Ford Transit, this video has something for you. We share what went wrong, what we learned, and how to stay calm when your van decides to throw a dramatic tantrum at the worst possible time. 🛠️ Van: 2001 Ford Transit Mk6 Campervan 🎥 Subscribe for more DIY van repairs, UK travel vlogs, and life on the road with our self-built campervan! #ukvanlife #campervanadventures #fordtransitconversion #fordtransit
