Ford Transit Connect (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Ford Transit Connect (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity is 1,9 liters. Service intervals include checks at 20000 km/12 months and 25000 km/12 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • All five configurations of the Ford Transit Connect (EU) covered here share a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 1.9 liters. A transaxle combines the transmission and differential into a single housing, so this figure represents the total fill volume for that integrated unit.
  • The 1.8-liter petrol variant (2002-2007) carries the same 1.9-liter transaxle capacity as the diesel variants but is specified with a shorter check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, compared to the 25,000 km or 12 months applied to all TDCi and TDDi variants.
  • The three TDCi variants — rated at 55 kW, 66 kW, and 81 kW — all share the 25,000 km or 12-month check interval under normal use conditions, despite differing power outputs. The 55 kW and 66 kW versions cover the full 2002-2013 span, while the 81 kW version enters the range from 2006.
  • The 1.8 TDDi (55 kW) variant, produced from 2002-2007, shares the 25,000 km or 12-month check interval with the TDCi variants. The TDDi designation refers to a direct-injection diesel without a turbocharger, distinguishing it mechanically from the turbocharged TDCi engines despite identical service interval specifications here.
  • The check interval specified for these transaxles is a fluid level inspection interval rather than a full fluid replacement interval. A 12-month time limit runs alongside the distance figure, meaning whichever threshold is reached first under normal use conditions triggers the check.
