Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2018 Ford Transit Custom has one engine to document, the turbocharged 2.2L DOHC inline-four diesel, and three bodies to keep straight, the four-door extended passenger van and the standard and extended four-door cargo vans. Cargo and Pasajeros are the two trims. Diesel service intervals, injection specifications and turbocharger torque figures make up a good share of the technical content, with wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the electrical and control systems alongside them.

  • 2.2L inline-four (134 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, diesel

Body styles covered

  • 4-door extended passenger van
  • 4-door standard cargo van

Known issues on the 2018 Transit Custom. Eight recalls stand against the 2018 van, all eight filed by companies that modify it rather than by Ford. Glass roof hatches were recalled because temperature and vibration stress can shatter the tempered pane and drop fragments on passengers; a hybrid conversion driveshaft joint was recalled for the risk of the shaft detaching; and the remainder cover foldaway seats whose backs can move in a crash. Owners have filed 57 complaints with NHTSA, led by 12 on the power train, eight on the structure and seven on the electrical system. Driveline, structure and wiring procedures are where those land.
