2008 Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi (110) Titanium DPF PowerShift (d-cl. 6) – Workshop Service & Repair Manual

1. Check Transmission Fluid Level: Begin by ensuring the transmission fluid is at the correct level. Low fluid can cause various gearbox issues.
2. Inspect for Leaks: Look for any transmission fluid leaks under your vehicle, as leaks can lead to low fluid levels.
3. Reset the Transmission Control Module (TCM): Disconnect the battery for at least 10 minutes to reset the TCM, which can resolve certain electronic gearbox problems.
4. Update or Reprogram the TCM: Visit a Ford dealer or use a compatible OBD tool to ensure the TCM is running the latest software.
5. Check the Clutch Pack: Worn or damaged clutch packs can lead to poor shifting. Inspect and replace the clutch pack if necessary.

For more detailed guidance, including torque specs and diagrams, download our Workshop Service & Repair Manual, which provides step-by-step instructions for resolving gearbox issues.

1. Inspect the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): A clogged DPF can restrict exhaust flow, causing the engine to hesitate. Clean or replace the DPF as needed.
2. Check the Transmission Fluid: Old or contaminated fluid can lead to erratic gear changes. Flush and refill with the recommended fluid.
3. Perform a Transmission Adaptation Relearn: Use a diagnostic tool to recalibrate the transmission’s shift patterns.
4. Test the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS): A faulty TPS can cause hesitation and gear hunting. Test and replace if necessary.
5. Scan for Fault Codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for fault codes that may indicate issues with the transmission or engine control systems.

Our manual includes comprehensive troubleshooting steps, diagrams, and detailed explanations to help you diagnose and fix gear hunting issues effectively.

1. Inspect Engine Mounts: Worn engine mounts can cause vibration. Replace any mounts that show signs of wear or damage.
2. Check the Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF): A failing DMF can cause vibration. Inspect the flywheel for excessive movement or damage and replace it if necessary.
3. Examine the Driveshaft: Ensure the driveshaft is balanced and the universal joints are in good condition. Replace worn parts as needed.
4. Balance the Wheels: Unbalanced wheels can lead to vibration. Make sure all wheels are balanced correctly.
5. Inspect the Exhaust System: Check for loose or damaged exhaust components that could cause vibrations. Secure or replace as required.

1. Check the Fuel Filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, leading to rough running. Replace the fuel filter if it is clogged or dirty.
2. Inspect the EGR Valve: A malfunctioning EGR valve can cause rough running. Clean or replace the EGR valve if it is clogged or faulty.
3. Examine the Turbocharger: A failing turbocharger can lead to rough running, particularly under acceleration. Check for oil leaks, excess play in the turbine shaft, or damaged blades.
4. Test the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: A dirty or failing MAF sensor can cause rough running. Clean the sensor or replace it if it’s faulty.
5. Check for Air Leaks: Inspect the intake manifold, hoses, and connections for air leaks, which can cause rough running.

For detailed instructions on resolving rough running issues, including sensor testing procedures and component diagrams, refer to our Workshop Service & Repair Manual.

1. Check Transmission Fluid: Low or deteriorated transmission fluid can cause delayed gear changes. Top off or replace the fluid as needed.
2. Inspect Transmission Solenoids: Faulty solenoids can delay shifts. Test and replace any malfunctioning solenoids.
3. Update the TCM Software: Ensure that the Transmission Control Module has the latest software updates to improve shift timing.
4. Clean the Transmission Valve Body: A dirty or clogged valve body can cause delayed shifts. Clean or replace the valve body if necessary.
5. Relearn Transmission Adaptations: Use a diagnostic tool to perform a transmission adaptation relearn to correct shift points.

Our Workshop Service & Repair Manual provides comprehensive guidance on diagnosing and fixing delayed gear changes, complete with troubleshooting charts and component breakdowns.
