Hello, I have a big problem.. I now have an Escort 1.6 90Ps for about 1 1/2 months and already problems.. Was on a longer tour and then started the problems. The engine starts very bad, that is called the starter turns but it does not start, so it starts you have to play with the gas. When it then runs, the car drives quite well. So as always, also a Escort had before. The start problems are worse when it is warm, in the cold condition go I’m not sure if it’s even more difficult. I’ve been in a workshop now and the third cylinder said it wouldn’t have compression and it wouldn’t be good on the second one. It wouldn’t be worth a repair. I’m just wondering if it could really be that bad. Shouldn’t you have to notice something while driving? It’s going so well.. Would be really bad about the car and also very annoying, since we only have it so short.

I ordered new “QH” crossbars online on 04.06.10. Today package arrived and I was disappointed. Left crossbar was okay Right crossbar was external joint crooked. Do you also have similar, negative experiences with this company?

Hi, after heavy rain I notice that it gets wet in the back of my escort (bj. ’95) (i.e. the cover was removed because I hardly need the trunk anyway). Now in winter moisture is of course not very good; today the whole disk was completely fogged in the back; I wanted to ask if you know the means that you can use well for sealing; unfortunately I can not say exactly how large the leaks are; but it will always be very slightly damp with very heavy rain, so I don’t think it’s very large places. I was at the hardware store today and found different things that would be suitable in theory; on the one hand, typical joint sealers (such as silicone), then such an aluminium product (which also had something of a car) and “car chip” (where I couldn’t really see from the packaging whether this can also be used for sealing or whether it’s more about levelling and What would you recommend?

Hello. I wanted to ask how expensive it is to enter 16 inch rims (http://data.motor-talk.de/…/cosworthfelgen-26191.jpg) for my escort? I bought the rims yesterday and wanted to put them on my Essi, only before I want to register them before there is a theater at the Tüv or with the police! Lg, Dennis

Saturday my DZM went still impeccable, now since this morning no more. Had on Saturday night a powerful storm with torrential rain, which lasted about 1 hour. Have the assumption that maybe somewhere water may have penetrated into a plug, but do not know if the DZM in the engine room has such a, and if so, where I can find it. Has powerful rained, my li. headlight also got very damp from the inside. Therefore the assumption that my problem with wetness was u could have done so, as my “Essi” parked outdoors. I checked fuses and relays for fixed seats and defects, everything is okay. Otherwise, the electrical system and all displays work perfectly, except for the DZM. I was no longer dangerous since Saturday noon, the problem only found this morning, when I started the engine.

Hello together, have the following problem I’m just normal as usual with the car on the highway with an average of 160 driving at once I notice a strong power drop and a hissing from the exhaust or from the region where the exhaust is located. If I don’t give a gas the engine is quite normal. Faster like 130 I can’t drive now let alone uphill I have to switch down to the 3 gear so I can get up to some extent. I have to say the car doesn’t belong to me but to my girlfriend and I don’t have any idea of cars either. Maybe someone has an idea what it might be? Ps: Guilty people that there are so few punctual characters in here and that the gramatics is so bad but had to write it with an iPhone because I don’t have a pc here. Greeting Dennis

I have a problem there. I was today with my car to change tyres. There I was told that my crossbars are broken. Exactly in the estimate handlebars, wheel suspension, both front crossbars at the bottom renew and axle measurement (cost point total 279 Euro incl. VAT. I drove to my workshop, which has looked through the car only recently. The master jacked up the car and said that the crossbar doesn’t necessarily have to get out the crossbar They would have slipped up. They could be renewed. He would knock them out ? and put in two new ones. (cost point per jack 14.00 euros and installation 2 working hours = all together 180.00 euros. What does he mean by bushings and what do I do now? Is there any difference whether the crossbar is broken or not? As a woman I have hardly any idea. What would you do? Are the costs ok? Besides, I have to go to TÜV in February 2011.

Hello already that forum searched but not really found something. And indeed today I changed my ZEB because the old was defective and the petrol pump did not drive any more. I bought the used ZEB from Ebay, so far everything well so far, gasoline pump as well as blower of the heater and everything else goes now again, but for that since today the ABS light is lit. The first half hour it went out still when I braked, but now it remains permanently on… how do I set the light? n whether the ZEB is defective, or my ABS has failed ?? PS: I drive Ford Ecort Cabrio BJ 93 , 90 PS For good advice I would be really grateful Greeting Andreas

Hello. I have seen that in my escort the footroom lighting is prepared. The footroom lighting on the driver’s side is now connected and is in the version, so the problem is now the passenger side, I have already got the holder just now I can not get into the socket for the lamp or I do not know exactly where it is sitting, I have seen that the cable goes exactly behind the glove compartment, only you can not build the glove compartment apart /to build out! So now I would like to get explained by you how to get to the version? Do I have to solve the complete amatur board /to build out to get there? I thank you already in advance for the answers !! If what is unclear please post! Lg, Dennis
