Ford Transit Custom: Problems with acceleration and planning of particulate filter cleaning runs
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A Ford Transit Custom owner is experiencing jerking during acceleration and frequent requests for particulate filter cleaning every 300-400 km. The jerking could be due to issues like fuel delivery, transmission, or spark plugs, with a recommendation to check and possibly replace the spark plugs first. For the particulate filter, the Carly app may have a feature to check the soot content, aiding in better scheduling of cleaning runs. If these issues persist, consulting a professional mechanic is advised.

Check the grounding connections for the fan that is missing mass. A poor ground can cause electrical issues and blown fuses. Ensure all connections are clean, tight, and free of corrosion. If the problem persists, inspect the wiring for any damage or shorts. Let us know how it goes or if you have further questions.

I've recently been experiencing a jolt when driving away (during start/stop). Usually this was after a long drive, and recently also in the city (shorter drives). The jolt feels like the transition from idle to 1st gear (automatic) isn't smooth. What could this be?

Check the transmission fluid level and condition first, as low or dirty fluid can cause rough shifting. If the fluid level is fine and the issue persists, it might be a good idea to have a mechanic inspect the transmission system. Keep us updated on your progress or if you have any further questions.

The jerking during acceleration could be due to a number of issues such as fuel delivery problems, transmission issues, or spark plug failure. It's best to start with the simplest checks first. Check your spark plugs and replace them if necessary. If the problem persists, it might be a good idea to have a mechanic inspect your vehicle. As for the cleaning run, the Carly app should have a feature that allows you to check the soot content of your diesel particulate filter (DPF). This can help you better schedule your cleaning runs. If you can't find this feature, you might want to contact Carly's customer support for assistance. Remember, if you're experiencing these issues frequently, it's best to have your vehicle checked by a professional mechanic to avoid any potential safety risks. Please update us on your progress and let us know if you have any other questions.
