  • Sunscreen foils…

    … and again a question to you … wanted to miss my Mondeo (combi) a “solar protection foil” … first for optical reasons, but also because we got offspring, and this sun protection to the feeder by sucker on the disc … … is because the sunlight passes above, below, left and right anyway … and is therefore unusable. Well long speech short sense, I bought myself yesterday a sun protection film in black. Apart from that that in Ö sterreich is not approved at all, such “billy foils” (€70) should be qualitatively totally inferior. Does anyone have experience with such foils ? If so, then I would be very grateful for a report of experience… mfg Schneckenmaus

  • Ride with cold engine

    Hello together, now I drive about 1 week my new Mondeo (EZ 05/06 125 HP Ottomotor) and wonder a bit about the still high engine speed in the cold running phase. I was not used to this from my Opel. There the mixture in the cold running is changed earthenly, without the speed increases noticeably. At the Mondeo the speed is significantly increased. Especially when switching the speed falls hardly, which has the consequence that the coupling always happens with grinding clutch. It’s like driving school, when the driver said: Not so much gas!! What’s the speed with you? Should I drive in the workshop? Thank you. Greetings Harald

  • Oil question

    Yes yes, I know! Now comes the annoying question about the oil… the following: I drive (still ) the 5W30 from the , but wanted to fill in another. After the arrival of the FFH, but I should not use OW40 or 5W40, or similar, because the engine would be washed out and can generate ringing or rustling noises. My vehicle data: Mondi ST-200, year 99, 2.5 LTR. (as usual)

  • Saw tooth formation

    Hello, who also has this problem and what can you do about it? Can someone recommend a tire except Pirelli. The tire hansi meant to change across. Unfortunately, it can’t be done with me, because the previous owner at the end has cut on two brand-new, unfortunately direction-bound tires, which I just rub off.

  • Indicator lamps

    Hello, have a 2 Mondeo BJ 98 tournament 2.0 210TKM, so far no problems at all. This morning it was very cool, wet and so foggy that you hardly saw the hand in front of my eyes. After driving a few meters, the hand brakes -ABS – and belt light went on at one stroke. I drove over immediately right over, motor turned off briefly and switched on again. The lights burned – as always – for a few seconds and then went out directly. Up to my goal (only 10 KM) fell to me. nothing more on. Random or should you ever make a head around it?

  • does a TSI also come for the Mondeo?

    Hello, I drove a rental car (Touran) last week with the 140-hp TSI engine. I was really impressed with the engine. Would be exactly the right thing for us at 12 tkm a year. That’s why the question: Is Ford working on comparable engines? If so, when would they be on the market?

  • Kat clatters

    Hello guys Our Mondeo (EZ 6/96; 1.6) has a problem again. In idle mode the cat clatters like a broken engine. An acquaintance thinks that is from inside in A…… Does any of you know how to bring in peace again ? (he is not rusted)

  • Help!!!Can someone tell me what this part costs …….

    Hello dear Leutz! Have brought the days of Mondeo from my father into the workshop ….. I had the car again and suddenly the servo went off during the ride! Holla I thought that it was really cracking on the handlebars. In addition, the temperature rose to strike! Well, I didn’t think like in the workshop, I had to have it repaired before I had to leave it. They then determined that a holder for the tensioning roller from the servo pump belt has broken down/was. So the part and the sp arnrolle with the belt just new! Thought such a holder, a small tensioner and the belt can not be so expensive……. FELLOWED! These three mentioned parts alone should cost 350€!!! Can that be?!?? Have taken a picture of the broken holder and there you can recognize the Ford number, can someone tell me what that part really costs??? Thank you, MfG Alex

  • Automatic Emergency Program

  • Ford Escort FAQ’s spark plugs and glow plugs

Experience according to the Zetec engines run best with these spark plugs. So best always turn these in so that no threads like: “My Escort jerks or does not start” appear. Thanks glow plugs best also those of Motorcraft. But note: There are some with M5 and which with M4 thread.
