  • Passing beam without function

    Hello together, When switching on from the passing light nothing does. Safetys are complete, steering pole switches work fine, standing light and driving light, relay attracts when switching on dipped light. However, no current arrives at the lamp contacts. I am grateful for any hint. Model 1.8 liter Zetec 85 KW Ez.:09.1996

  • 1.6i 16V MK7 and car gas?

    I decided to change my 95er 1.6I tournament to Autogas at short notice. I don’t want to start a thread here about self-remodeling. I’m more interested in seeing some installation examples. Since the space in the engine room is very scarce, because I also have a Eberspächer behind the air filter housing, I would like to know how others have solved the space problem. I want to install a KME Bingo S4 because the shut-off valve in this system with the Verda mpfer sits and thus the whole stuff comes quite compact. So, who can post pictures of such a conversion here? I would be particularly interested in pictures of the engine compartment and the filling nozzle. Thank you in advance, Astro

  • Is it possible to drive 400km despite a defective water pump?

    Unfortunately, the water pump is defective with my old carrot and it loses (especially in the stand) water. If I refill regularly, but everything is fine… I can’t do a repair myself and also the cheapest workshop would like to work besides 65€ for the pump 180€ – because I also need a new battery and the air conditioning system needs to be refilled, the costs slowly exceed the value by nasty dimensions… Since the car has only one year Tüv and I have it myself I don’t want to invest that anymore. But I have a friend from the fire department at 400km distance who would install me a new pump including work for 130 euros – if I somehow come down there at a bit I have already built a sensor that shows me the water level in four heights and flashes, even if the lowest contact is no longer in the water. Now I just have to get the cable in the interior… But I would prefer to use the The hose must then stop through the window But I do not have to stop and refill all 10km (not yet tested) … The question is whether I do not screw up the lid for level sensor and filling hose a) the container or b) the lid or c) the lid, but leave it open. What happens while driving with overpressure or underpressure? Do I harm the engine or anyone with an open lid?

  • Escort just went out.

    Hello, My Escort tournament Mk7 BJ98 went out during the ride yesterday. he took off once again no more gas. Since then he no longer starts. I checked the emergency switch in the footroom now and all the fuses that are in the footroom. I also held the spark plugs with another spark plug on mass, sparks come! I have the feeling that the petrol pump, which buzzes briefly, when you turn on the ignition is now louder and sounds different, but I can also do it. uschen. How can I proceed now to get to the bottom of the matter ? Thank you already in advance ! Good slide

  • How long do crossbars hold?

    Hello, I have my 94er 1.6 convertible now in August 3 years and have had to change the crossbars 2x. I had the last one installed in June last year….and the car finds for 2 months already every track groove and “slings” around again…. Can that be the crossbars again? Or does another damage cause these symptoms? And if it is really the crossbars: Can anything else be defective that the wear of the crossbars so often causes I had shock absorbers changed from 2 1/2 years along with the wheel bearings, the brakes and the axle cuffs… Thank you for tips! Best regards Uli

  • Escort Cabrio jerks in a quiet drive

    Hello, a short time ago I thought I imagined that, but today it was clear, when I drive quietly, low speed so 60km/h 4th gear or so my car suddenly starts to jerk, feels a little like hopping, but then it drives quite normal again. Today it was in all gears again and again and this time partly also when speeding. A single time it also stuttered at the traffic light in idle mode (Gang was out). What can that be? Probably nothing has With it to do, but a few days ago my wiping water broke, pump you can hear clearly as always, but it doesn’t come out, but it’s clogged, you can blow through, just wait for a new (used) pump.

  • Circuit is unbearable

    Hello guys, it is again the Escort (98er, 1.6 16V, 90PS) of my grandpa, which is causing problems. I would like to keep the car as far as possible in as good a condition as possible (>160.000Tkm). Last week the clutch was changed again and thus also the tooth segment of the clutch pedal, since this is broken during the ride – the clutch was due anyway. The problem, which already exists for some time already, that the circuit is unbelievably tacky. If the gears either only enter by force, have to give interlock or first put in a different gear than the desired one. The reverse gear either only goes in to me pure force or if you hit the 4th or other gear before, but even then a blow goes through the whole car. It’s just really bad if you want to start at the intersection and the 1st gear does not go in immediately. The problem exists for a very long time and I thought that it would lie on the clutch, jedo Since the exchange last week nothing has changed. Since the coupling is manually adjustable, I have tried to make an improvement with this setting: You can change something slightly, but the basic problem remains – so it should not be due to the coupling. I had already read on this topic on the Internet that a change of the transmission oil or a lubrication of the storage of the switching rod should help, but I really don’t know what to think about it. I don’t know what to do – what can I do? How can I set the clutch? If the pegal is above the brake pedal, it can be switched slightly better, but the grinding point is very late (suboptimal for Grandpa). I can only explain this with the larger distance between the print bearing and the pressure plate. How should the new clutch be adjusted from the factory, are there any specifications? Maybe even the synchronous rings of the gearbox are worn out?! I would like to solve the problem, because for the first time it is very annoying and for the second time it goes on the gearbox. Thank you!

  • Questions about the t-jet engines

    Wear me with the idea to buy a Punto or Bravo with 120 or 150hp. Is the 120hp approximately comparable to the 1.4TSI of VW ? Torque looks almost the same. Does the 150hp ? According to data sheet has not much more Nm, only more PS. How about the consumption, what do you need ? More GP or Bravo ? Are there reasons ? Thank you

  • MK7 Cabrio Deck

    Hello For 3 days I am also a proud owner of a convertible but now the anger is already going on My E Covered spins somehow. I can open the cover quite normally and close when the passage is out. Then it’s the garnix again (as if no electricity arrives) and I have to switch to manually and today it even went with inserted passage. Where can the error be? Then two more questions: Where do I get oil for the hydraulic pump from and where do I have to fill it in? At me in the cigarette lighter no cables are connected and I also find no how do I get it to run? And no answers that I should take a lighter because my navigator and mobile phone do not work with it. Thanks already
