  • Battery voltage

    I can probably only answer the question by a car electrician. I noticed that the voltage of the battery is running while the engine is running and the front disc heating is under 12V. I asked in the workshop and they say that would be normal, the Lima would only switch on if necessary. Can one confirm that or is there something lazy with the Lima in my C-Max. Must say that it starts every morning reliably.

  • Fun conversion Ford Escort

    In the evening, we have a club car from our automobile club, which is intended exclusively for fun. Road traffic is no longer with the stove, but only just for fun on blocked asphalt track. The club car is an old Ford Escort. My problem now is that the car is simply too balanced from the chassis etc.. By nothing to get out of the rest, even with handbrake incredibly difficult. Now the car should be converted therefore. It already has a great Spradosen- It’s all allowed, just hold it still. Then things like: – flex springs – fill dampers with other oil (can you open them at the Escort?) – change axle geometry – etc. Let your imagination run free. Only in total it should not swallow up. But should be a fun conversion that is not all too easy to drive.

  • Consumption 1.4 and 1.6

    Why does the 1.4 consume more fuel than the 1.6? So according to the manual it is always like that. I have a 1.4 with 75 hp and it slabs in about 10 liters. Ok with the curb weight that is no wonder. But why should the 1.6 consume less? That annoys me a little, because I bought the 1.4 extra to be a little more economical. I would like to sell the car again and get me the 90 hp because it has even more power. But first I want your experiences and d Listen to reports. Then I’ll really think about it again. 🙂

  • Escort Bj96 1.3L Hydros?

    Hey, I’ve had an Essi tournament with a small 1,3l EFI engine for about 2 months. The engine sounds like a little trecker since the first day… no matter if it’s cold or warm, it’s always clacking, only if it rolls and I don’t give a gas, it’s very quiet. I had first tapped on the hydro plunger, so it was at least with my E30 back then. I’m absolutely not sure because I have no experience with Ford! Would be great again if you could help me! Thanks and mfG cd

  • The old 2.5-suck diesel – who still has experience with it?

    Hello friends! I drive in my Transit Motorhome year 91 the old 2.5er suction diesel in the 71 HP version. I am now just back from a 5700 km tour across Scandinavia and it ran really well, slowly…abet good. Oil consumption over the distance about 0.8 liters 10w40. Running power is now almost 130,000 km. So…so to have a long time pleasure with the bullet, I wanted to ask for tips and tricks. Oil moisture is it, of course. My almost 20 years younger Opel CDTI did not see bess he from I just tip up again after oil change takes place annually, no matter how much he has run. And otherwise? Just let it roll? Is there something to care for with the cardan shaft? Well otherwise, how are your experiences with the 2.5 suction cups, their mileage etc pp? And I still need tips on water in the footroom. To the left it seems to come from the left, right from the top (front window?) Thanks Greeting Markus

  • Change Brakes Front – Torques

    Hello together, after I changed the rear brakes completely last year, the front brakes are soon on. I saw during the wheel change that not much is missing until the wear contact. Then there are surely still 3-4mm residual lining. Let’s see how long it will take until the display comes. 😉 Now my question. Can someone give me the torques? Brake disc wheel hub Central nut Brake caliper brake caliper The central nut new, or again use? The 5 Screws for wheel hub new? If both new, would someone have the item number? Spring plates, screws for brake disc, and the guide bolts with rubber cuff are definitely reordered. Do I need any special tools? Puller, etc?

  • Transit TDCI 110PS Built 2007 Rail printing insufficient

    Hello, I have problems with a transit already for a long time. After the error message “Railpressure insufficient” three out of four injectors were exchanged. Nevertheless, the car ran afterwards in idle extremely bad, unround. In time it got better, the engine malfunction light remained. Now he started with power loss in all aisles (max 80km/h possible), feels like tethered up and simply goes off when stopping or starting. But hardly I had full fuel all symptoms were missing If the fuel supply falls below half or approaches the quarter mark it starts again with jerking when accelerating, power loss and exit of the engine. Is there a pump defective in the tank? Low pressure pump or what that means? Rail pressure insufficiently means nothing else than fuel pressure insufficient. If the tank is full, the pressure is automatically sufficient, a pump is not needed at all. But woe, it empties. . Is my guess true, what do you think? Thank you and greeting! Matthias

  • Ford Euroline 2013 First registration – Good price?

    Dear Motortalk Forum, my first post here and based on the good comments I have read to other posts, I would like to ask you for advice. We as a small family, want to change now from Tourneo Connect to a Euroline, because the size of the tourneo is not enough anymore. Now it is not so easy with the Euroline I have the feeling. On the one hand they are apparently very much asked for on the other they probably have some weaknesses. The Ford was on 10.07.2013 EZ. Ha t no visible rust traces. In addition to the 3-seater seat has the 2 single seats and a 3-seater seat as an exchange for the 2-seater combination. Has 124T km down and the 140PS diesel engine. Otherwise the Ford “refrigerator” and standard equipment with preheating. Stand all the time under Carport and the last TÜV report do not know any defects. Call here 14.800€ Meanwhile I see cars at all prices and can no longer assess whether this is a good offer. engine running with control chain and car is from 1st hand. Would be very pleased about your feedback! VG Tony

  • Extension of rear air conditioning

    Moin Freunde, I am proud owner of a Transit Custom H2L2 9 seater from 2019, the 130hp version. The best car that I have ever owned and I had to save my ass for it. The car is to be converted to a camper and there is the additional air conditioning/heating in the back in my way. Since we drive anyway almost only two and the car is insulated, I think the one air conditioning will also be easy enough. The local Ford Workshops (Oldenburg) say that is from the factory a I’m an engineer and a screw, even if the workshop doesn’t want to make any money, so I thought maybe someone had some experience with it. There are 4 lines from the engine room to the climate module in the rear, certainly a circuit for hot water and one for the climate agent. Could you cut the lines close to the theme room (after vacuuming the climate agent) and bridge them? Are there parts around the condition Does the controller have to be reprogrammed or Fake sensors connected to the electronics so that there is no error message afterwards? Maybe someone has ideas, experiences or tips to whom/what workshop you can contact. Best regards Hans
