  • Experience with the Tourneo Custom’s automatic transmission

    Hello, since also with me in the near future a Tourneo Custom has to be purchased (child 3 is on the way) my question: How satisfied are you with the automatic? I ponder, namely, whether switch or automatic. Towing load etc. are first of all minor. My dealer said that he would advise me from the automatic, which is very sluggish and switches in noticeably every new gear. Also the motor should probably overly high turn (up to 3000 revolutions) and the hand switch clearly Unfortunately, my dealer in Erlangen doesn’t currently have a vehicle to test on site, so I could get a picture of it myself. I’m not a sporty driver, but rather glide away rather comfortably. What are your experiences about the automatic? Is that really so bad? Thank you for your opinions Greeting Olaf

  • Brake discs in which size (288 or 308 mm) – desperation

    Good morning together, I hope someone can help me here ?? With my Ford Tourneo Custom Active 185 HP only approval 2021 the brakes have to be replaced at the front, brake discs and brake pads. Unfortunately, the next Ford workshop is a little further away and we only have one car, moreover it is really much more expensive at Ford, as if I had this done at a free workshop and the parts themselves. Now I am looking for the right brake discs. Above all, I seem to find the documents easily, but the brake discs drive me crazy. I called my Ford dealer, who sold the car to me and I have been given some data to which I can orient myself. But I am looking on the internet for suitable brake discs often the diameter 288 mm is displayed to me. According to my before dealer it would have to be 308 mm, if I take the reference OEM. Does anyone here know what I w How am I 100% sure that I need the 308 mm without removing the tire and somehow measuring it. If it is then the 308 mm really, it is unfortunately so that I will always be shown on every page on the internet. These are not compatible. It is often so that these are compatible for the variant up to 170 horsepower and 185 horsepowers are not listed. I would really be very happy about your help, because also To make some money here For example, I look at ATE, Brembo or Bosch Zimmermann or FEBI Billstein brake sets. The following data was given to me by Ford: Discs: 2171541 2168836? Flooring: 2391870 Wear indicator: 2511685 I have selected the following articles:https://www.ebay.de/itm/313022819976?… Orhttps://www.ebay.de/itm/402847577262?… Orhttps://www.ebay.de/itm/386823922387?… Ford meant to take originals or some from Bosch, maybe you have experience, you would see me r help. I would have the following combination from Bosch, but the discs are offered to me here in 288 mm https://www.autodoc.de/bosch/7884417https://www.autodoc.de/bosch/12791464#brake lining Zimmermann I also find some brake discs, as far as I have read they should be ok too? Thank you very much in advance.

  • Refitting AHK – Preparation yes/no? Recommendations?

    Hello, I would like to upgrade a trailer coupling at my Transit Custom BJ03/2016. Now there are different e-sets. Which ones for preparation and normal ones. Which ones you have to unlock and which ones you don’t. How do I recognize if my custom is prepared for an AHK? And which manufacturers are recommended? The prices are going far apart. Should be mainly for a caravan. Greeting ai

  • Extension of original Fordradio, installation of new DVD radio (German standard)

    Servus, I’m new here looking for help. I bought a very well-preserved Essi Bj 97 14 days ago. Now I’m facing the problem, I’ve got a brand new DVD radio at home, it would fit into every normal narrow radio shaft. Only the Essi is too high (is American standard was told to me once).How can I expand the old original radio, and put my new one in the shaft? Do I have to buy listening to it or something like that? I’ve been driving Opel so far, and I know it all about it, but Ford is a new patch for me. Lg Robbi

  • Front and main beam suddenly out.

    Hello to me, as described in the title, the front light and the main light turned out, I didn’t notice until I came home from a party at 11 pm. That was dark I tell you. Model Ford Escort Kombi Ghia BJ 96 Maybe one of you can help me with what this is about. So I checked all the fuses and bulbs and they are all OK. Only on the light cable in the front light no current arrives when I press the rotary switch. Other lights (inside room, stable t etc. ). The beep noise when switching on the light also comes. Just as I said no fron light and driving light. Must say that I had my tire track set in a workshop the day before. The light still worked. Did they maybe cut a cable from the alternator? Is that possible? Hope on help. MFG Marcus

  • Engine does not start because keys are not recognized

    Hello, have a little problem again, which apparently no one had before me (fora search). I drove with my car this morning (Ford Escort 1.6 16V, year 95) and he ran wonderfully, but then about 1 hour later he didn’t jump on again. The key can be turned to the stop, but nothing happens. The light under the clock flashes quite fast, which according to the operating instructions means that the key code is not correct or not recognized. The replacement key and the master key are not recognized either. What can this be or what can I try? In an emergency I probably have to go to a workshop, the question is how expensive this will be? Would be very grateful about help! Greeting, Toby

  • Escort went out during the ride and no longer jumped … Help !!!

    So I started with my Escort Cabrio 1.6 16V in the morning. He jumped immediately on as on every day … When I was driving about 2 km I switched off from 5 to the 4th walk because of a curve. When I went back on the gas didn’t come as if I was in a too high gear then nothing went at all I was getting slower and slower until I finally came to the stand. Great thought I and that on the way to work so first to a well-known pushed who lives only a few meters further. Of course I tried to start it again but there was nothing to push on either … I’m stunned can you help me? Love Greetings Kevin
