  • Car comes with a tank filling 300km far.

    Hello! Now that the 2nd tank is empty so fast, the error has to be found and fixed. Of course, I can’t afford a workshop, unless it’s no different. I don’t really race. Sometimes a little faster from the green traffic light, so that behindmen can get through. And in the city I usually drive 60km/h in the 5th gear. Nevertheless, my tank is again on reserve shortly after the 300km mark. Otherwise I noticed that the car at the kick-down also sometimes h And how far do you get with your escorts?

  • Cooling problem with 1.4 L Ford Escort MK7

    Evening, first of all, I wanted to say at this point what a brilliant forum this is. I have already solved many problems with my Essie thanks to the forum. Unfortunately, I am currently faced with a mystery. I have been driving a 1997 Ford Escort (GAL) 1.4 L, 75 Ps. He now has about 145,000 Km. And I have a big cooling problem since a longer tour from Kassel to Koblenz. And indeed, the display rises within a very short time from the O from NORMAL to the L od he even went to the red area. Unfortunately he doesn’t always do that. He was now 3 days in the workshop but nothing could be found (because he didn’t do it with my mechanics of trust). Normal is with my Essie actually the temperature indicator no longer as to the R. Normally…. Today I drove about 60 km and he did it again that the display suddenly rose. In the workshop he got the following new. new coolant, complete Ö change air filter change I really don’t know any more. However, I need the car professionally i.e. need it quickly again….. I hope you can help me P.S. If you need some more data, just let me know. Thank you very much already in advance. LG Casi

  • Escort reserve light burns even though the tank is full????

    Hello, my problem is this, with my Escort XR3i Cabrio the reserve light is burning, although the tank is full. I bought the car only about 3 weeks ago the tank was almost empty and the lamp was on. Didn’t think about it. So now I registered the car and fully fueled it. The tank needle went up but the lamp is still burning. What can it be?. It can’t lie on the tanker because the tanker clock goes yes. Gruss Kugk

  • Ford Escort Cabrio BJ.94 Rear wheel bearing nut does not open

    Ford Escort Cabrio BJ.94 1.8 liter 105 hp, Zetec engine One hears strong wheel bearing noises that get even stronger at left turns. I suspected the right front wheel but it sounds more like the right rear wheel. In fact, “this rear wheel bearing bubbling more than the left rear wheel when you turn it upside down. I wanted to untie the central nut of the wheel bearing but it doesn’t work. It seems crazy to eat – it doesn’t have a splint. With a long style h first I blow up the extension of the 30’s nut and then the nut itself. With a 12 volt impact wrench the supposedly 340 NM can’t work either. Warming also helped nothing. What should I do? Does a impact wrench for my compressor bring what? Or does it destroy only nut and nut? If I destroy the mother with the chisel (sounds like that at all) I certainly damage the thread of the axle. Does anyone have a tip for me! Thank you very much already!!! Love Greetings Helmut

  • Fiat Panda

    Hello to each other, we are considering getting a Fiat Panda. New or as an annual car is still open. However, it should become the 60hp Dynamic. Can you please describe experiences? What about repairs, fuel consumption, inspection, etc.? Thank you and continue to drive well…

  • Croma in AMS

    Moin, in car motor sport the Croma was tested, also got away well (price performance, technology etc). Conclusion: a car that it would have deserved, but probably disappears in the variety of the market. Hmm, the Croma actually gets good reviews everywhere. Maybe something with my favorite car company… Greeting paf

  • Chiptuning Panda Multijet DPF 75 HP

    Hello, I just ordered a new Panda, it would interest me, who drives one already with chip tuning, as the experiences are etc. Another thing: Does anyone know if the Punto 6-speed transmission fits in there, the engine there is probably the same with much more torque, which the transmission is also designed for… the conversion would be appealing, especially since the consumption still went down. Since when does the Diesel Punto already exist, is there such transmission on the used parts market? Unfortunately as far as Fiat is concerned, we know test-going newcomer…Thank you for your tips. Greetings Udo

  • Fiat 500 Buy – Allg. questions

    Hello dear community, My girlfriend wants to change soon from a AUDI A3 to a Fiat 500 1.4 16V lounge. We have already made a test drive with the vehicle (1.2 8V) and we are really very enthusiastic! Finishing is super, the design and much more. Everything was super! Only the engine with the 69hp was a bit shy… So we want to take the with 100hp. We already let us calculate everything just stay in mind so ask me, which the dealer always answered positively I found out here about SuFu that Fiat offers rust protection. How long does this guarantee last? Is the body galvanized? I’m very penitent in this. More detailed information about this would be great. 2. Like any other car brand, engines/carriage/electronics simply have troubles. I would be happy if someone could tell me something about the Fiat 1.4 16V engine. Friends have told me that Fiat engines are often broken, but f Reunde tell a lot These were eigtl. already my questions, I have already used the SufU but are mostly only driving reports there and everything only 69PSler. And if I look for electric problems forget about days… Thank you already in advance and a nice day still! *EDIT* Oh and can maybe upload me a picture like the car from the front with the daytime driving light looks like? I have no idea where of all the spotlights the day driving should be. And I want to order the lounge.

  • Long-term rust protection at Fiat and Lancia

    Hello! I wanted to ask what experience you have had with Fiat and Lancia with the rust protection at the newer Fzg. (three to four years old). I would be particularly interested in the Panda, the Grande Punto and the Lancia Ypsilon. I ask because not a few manufacturers in recent years have obviously set the red pin for the long-term rust protection protection. In my now ten-year-old Lancia Y I can not complain at all; not yet to notice a rust n, and the first exhaust is still under it. Because I am about to buy a new car, I wanted to ask if the newer Fiat/Lancia have also slowed down here, or whether the ten to twelve years will last without having to meet in the area of aftercare.

  • Feeling something vera… from Fiat

    A friendly hello to all forum participants I ordered a Fiat Panda 1.1 8V yesterday. Delivery time is 8 weeks here in Hamburg, the joy is already there. Incl. my old Golf III (16 years) scrapping. But – according to the brochure in the technical data the engine attracts 15 sec. from 0-100 km/h, which is still acceptable. But suddenly Fiat offers the 1.1 Eco with 119g/km emission, which is good, economical etc. But no information about the technical data on the current Brochure at the dealer, he needs now 20 sec. from 0-100 km/h ! Did I happen to find the latest technical data on the homepage, the old ones are still standing there at the same time ………what should I say about it? The friendly dealer pointed out to me already two weeks ago that I got a new engine allegedly even better and more economical now with 119 g/km instead of 135 g emission. Because I also have to save and only want the 1.1 8V engine, 15 sec. would be just for me I’m a bit disappointed!!! I called my dealer today and he didn’t know anything about it! But said that the gearbox was translated differently, but the engine would be the same. Why is Fiat deliberately slowing his engine so much, I can only shake my head. My opinion is: The demand is currently enormous after the panda, and now Fiat would like to get the engine to work. 1.2 but the 1.1 is technically slowed down to make it so unattractive to drive. Does anyone here have experience with the new Eco Motor 119g ? Gruss js-js
