  • Escort window lifter switches prone to interference??

    Hello guys, I’m not actually a Ford driver, but my girlfriend has one, and I don’t want to leave her in the (ordinary) rain with her problem: At some point the window lifter switch on the driver’s side only sporadically started his service. Not much later he failed completely. (Preferred then, when the disc was down – Murphy sends nice greetings ) After you also got the jacket closer than the pants, we switched the left and right switch, and it was quiet for a few months. Then the switched switch also went over the Jordan. Then I got an original new switch, which, however, also lasted only a few months… (Grob estimated: 300-500 switching processes) Now my question: Are these switches a latent problem, or is the reason for it somewhere else? (Have read pretty creepy reports about the central electrics…) Can it be, for example, that there is something else defective that is due to d the switches produce extreme demolition sparks, which will ruin them in the long run?? The switches are traded on the Internet, as otherwise what! Therefore, this problem does not seem to be soo rare… Does someone know something more specific about this problem? In the search I could unfortunately only find solutions that would help rather only temporarily… (change switch left for right, get switches from the bay etc.). But why do they fail so quickly?? In this case, it acts si ch around a 95s tournament. But this problem does not seem to be limited to this single model… Thanks in advance for constructive information!! So Long…

  • set ke-jetronic (g-kat)?

    first of all a friendly hello to the community. I’m new here and I have a question about the ke-jet. and that, can someone please explain to me how I best put the mixture in the full load range. have converted an escort with l4b motor to turbo. now I like to adjust everything still properly before you step on the gas. not that the mixture becomes too lean and the pistons give up the spirit. so the screw on the quantity divider is more for the co content/empty run mixed. but how do I get the sprite quantity up at full load? doesn’t want to turn around now, before then garnix is more true. the whole is monitored by a wideband lambda with display. would be happy about a few tips.

  • Escort with little km permanently preserved.

    Hello 15 years I have repaired all Fords in a Ford car dealership, but I will have an escort 1.4 L. I would never have believed that. Also with the unpopular 1.4 CVH engine. My escort was groomed checkbook has just 47000 km on the hump, and he has always got 5W-40 full synth. roosting as for this year or later usual he has absolutely no, but it blooms neatly on the underfloor especially on the thresholdrs there I have to do something.So far as I sc But it doesn’t have to be white yet.HU is only in 3 months. But first have to make the clutch because it is slipping. I get the escort again through the HU without any problems in May.Let’s say that I have to invest 300 euros for the next 2 years.(Exhaust is borderline and clutch I have to do anyway).What I wanted to know from you now, should I do the so that I should drive it only for 2 years after new HU or should I plan it for longer? In 90% of cases only the brake caliper is fixed before the hose bursts. Ok now the decisive question ? 2 years to drive and then away . Or so make it more than 2 years good standing ?

  • Escort Kombi (Ghia) Bj 96 Heating blower defective?

    Hello together, I own an Escort Kombi ( Ghia ) built in 1996! I bought this used. The heater did not work from the beginning. But now it is getting cold and I have to do something there, I have already read that it can lie directly on the blower itself, on this fuse box or on the switch. However, I do not have a manual to know the exact fuse assignment, does someone here perhaps have this manual? Furthermore, I wanted to ask for which excl. The switch bulb seems to be optically healed but still it doesn’t glow, so the switch from the heater fan. Then I have another problem with the rear disc wiper interval, this wiped very well, always piece by piece. sometimes a small piece, then a bigger and all rarely that it wipes through normally! what could that lie for? thank you and greetings

  • Help, temperature display no longer moves! Thermostat capput? or sensor?

    Temperature indicator no longer moves! Thermostat capput? or sensor? Hello, I have a Ford Escort Bj 97, 1.6l 16V 90 hp. Today I have noticed that the needle of the temperature indicator does not move anymore, no matter how fast I drive and no matter if I open the ventilation. Übriegens the car consumes quite a lot, 55 liter tank filling is not even 500 km. I have read a few tips, it can lie on thermostat. Is it true? because someone also says that it can also be at Tem Does anyone have a guide on how to change thermostats? Honestly, I don’t even know what the thermostat looks like. And if you change the thermostat, can petrol consumption really improve? Thanks in advance.

  • Help, escort engine no longer running straight

    Hello I bought an escort last year, he was first hand and was driven by the previous owner in the last 3 years 2000 km. I changed last year all filters like oil change and so on. But the engine was not working properly, now I have to measure compression all 4 yl. 10.5 bar approximately. now I thought if I use 1.8 with 131ps the suction bridge, throttle valve and the Lmm it might go better. I have now installed everything and spark plugs with hselt now he runs shit. Stutters at the gas give, the engine totally restless at the gas give and runs also completely unround. It is an escort mk6 bj. 94 with 90ps 1.6. what can be the lying throttle flap broken or harmonizes the whole not with the control unit. I am baffled have made again the lmm from the 1.6 there he goes out completely and takes no gas. Can someone tell me what it is. Before he ran really well except sluggish he was unlike my other 1.6 the It’s going to be a lot better.
