How to Replace the Power Supply Battery in a Ford Transit Custom?

Model: Ford Transit - Years 2012-2024
Part: Battery

The 12-volt battery that powers the Ford Transit Custom is not located in the engine bay, as is the case with most vehicles, but rather in the cabin, specifically under the driver's seat. Replacing it is quite simple: slide the seat forward, then remove the battery cover. Disconnect the negative terminal, which is black, followed by the positive terminal, which is red. Simply lift the battery out of its housing to make way for the replacement. Operation complete, the vehicle is ready to be used.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
