hello! for me for days a question goes through the head which has already given me the one or other sleepless night: can the 2.0l 16V installed in the sample II can be exchanged against the 1er 2.2l Gt turbo or combined motor parts (e.g. GT turbo suction bridge and manifolds with turbo on the 2.0l 16V block) to win so more power? what is theoretically and practically possible or with low wall to realize? is the 2.2l combatibel with the 5gang gear of the 2er sample? i think all is clear what goes through the head for a project me… just before I get rid of it wildly and I want to get some crap together I want to catch up with honest qualified opinions on the topic of you I’m already my reitz there is already a sample II 2.2l GT turbo on the road for me… so tell me just what experiences you have made to the topic or how you see all that is thanks to me in terms of spatial equipment and equipment.

hello people! wanted to give me a try. a 6 cylinder, if already. have been a lot rumstöbert and found a lot………….but one thing makes me really stunned. why did 3/4 of the cars I saw have a motor damage???????? how does that come? is the motor so sensitive or can all not drive a car. I drove from 4 to 8 cylinder cars that had far over 300000km on the jack. but I had a motor damage up to now never!!! the 6 or 8 cylinder you do not need to drive to the limiter so that it goes away. when I drive my car I turn the max. up to 5000/upm (if the engine is warm) everything about it I personally find already too loud (what the howling of the engine concerns) and don’t have to be with me. I just don’t understand why so many with the probes are to be sold with motor damage. so I’m better off.

I need urgent help, with my sample 2 flashes recently the airbag light this makes me still crazy 😉 especially when I drive at night…….. I am in despair ….. I was already at the friendly ford dealer who unfortunately could not even delete the error memory, let alone could tell me what the problem could be or is, then I drove to bosch there but exactly the same problem, which could have been read out but only the motor control unit, so also not really what could bring me further, now I hope to get here from you help many thanks in any case already in advance

Hello rehearsal enthusiast! I have many to hand over many parts for US sample. Among fans of course at a fair price. From ’91 I still got the engine and gearbox with original 46″ km, it only drove until ’94 and then got shut down with a rear damage. I saved everything for my ‘ 92, which I have now shut down! The machine with 230″ km still runs sugar ( I used thermostat and starter from the other engine times). Of course spring legs and so I already got from ’91 in ’92! Please answer if what is needed (because must give the arms to the car… ) 🙁

Hello, would be able to use some good tips again, my sample BJ1995, 16v, smokes after the start, so `ne minute, smells so funny, then everything is normal again. If the engine is warm, nothing actually goes wrong. Must say that this only occurred for the first time after a completewechesl of timing belts and water pump, I had not seen it before. Would it be interesting for me to know what this is all about?

Hi @ all! Man-o-man!!! Now it’s going on… After a long rain I wondered why my belt was wet. Thought at first I would have let it hang outside, but it wasn’t the case, but it was nicely rolled up. Then I found out that the roof sky was moistened directly above the driver’s door. I bent the rubber a little bit and there was water in it – is not sooo good Especially I don’t want to breed a rust! Has anyone ever had this before? Are there simple tricks to get the seal over the driver’s door tightly, or is there only a new seal from the workshop? I can’t imagine that it’s something else than the seal, but let me learn better. With best thanks for your tips!!! Mediciman

Hey, new problem my sample 2 ECP 16v brakes but so weak that at full braking not even the wheels block, is that known to someone or is there an idea what that could be? disks and blocks all as good as new lg

hello , for the first time in the forum mayicht one can help me. I have a ford probe v16 for 5 months, and have the following problem ….. if the car is a night long he starts to smoke quite long and very strong… white very dense smoke I step on the gas gets worse. I was in 4 different workshops and asked 3 could not help me any more and the 4 said the cylinder head seal was broken. I then went to a ford workshop and said that the engine is broken or even already broken …….. which I can’t imagine again because it runs pretty good and very quiet. and most of the time it’s that when the whole qualm is out there was s that for the whole day until the next morning ……! for every answer I’m very grateful mfgg

Hello, I have a question. And I find the Ford a very nice car. Could also imagine driving it myself. But now it comes. My father friends and relatives think that the car would eat me up on the maintenance. So I drive on 70% and have calculated that I would pay on liability 700€ annually. So much more than now it is not. If the Euro2 standard is met, they are also icht so high. Have read that the 2,0l should be more stable and would also be completely sufficient. Ask yourself what reperatures so cost, but most of them I will do myself anyway. With a consumption of 8-10l in normal operation I go out. So now I ask you, is the sample really too expensive for me? Is it so expensive in the maintenance?? Please report your experience.
