Only the fourth generation of the Transit model was equipped with the 2.0-liter Ford D3FA or 2.0 TDDi Duratorq DI engine, which was manufactured between 2000 and 2006. The company’s diesel family’s weakest modification lacked an intercooler altogether.
The Duratorq-DI line also includes internal combustion engines: D5BA, D6BA and FXFA.
The engine was installed on:
- Ford Transit Mk6 in 2000 – 2006.

Disadvantages of the D3FA engine
Continuous drops in traction occur as soon as the contamination reaches the injectors; the Bosch VP30 high pressure fuel pump dislikes fuel impurities and eventually starts to drive chips;
The camshaft beds are responsible for the relatively quick wear in this area;
The timing chain mechanism may need maintenance on runs of 100–150 thousand kilometers; loud knocking beneath the hood typically indicates a broken upper connecting rod bushing.
