  • Purchase decision Ford Mustang Ecoboost

    Hello together, I need some experiences and opinions from you. At the moment I drive a 520I BMW built in 2003. Since this now approaches its wear limit I am naturally looking for something new and PS stronger. I really don’t need the matching V8 sound for the Muscel Car look. (although this of course sounds great) But since I have no experience with such vehicles at all, of course, come to me the typical concerns that you know of Ami vehicles. What do you have as an average consumption? In the forums the opinions always differ greatly some write slightly below the 10l limit some go up to 15 l. What do you think of me as a rather cruiser, where will this move? How does it beats in the winter with circuitry? Since I want to drive the Mustang as a year-round vehicle is of course a big question for me. I am used to a tail-driver but with so many PS I unfortunately have no experience. And as a last question: Through the facelift 2018 (EU) I think the prices of the current Mustangs are too cheaper or I can get a great reward for it?

  • Consumption Mondeo TDCI 2.0

    Hello, I drive a Ford Mondeo TDCI 2.0 with 130 hp. Year 04.2004. 6 gear manual transmission. Euro 4. 225 tires. Sports suspension. Now at 14,000 km. In the manual an average consumption of 6.2 l/100 km is indicated. I land in a very moderate driving mode in a balanced mix between city and highway regularly at 8 l/100 km. I have read in another forum that the consumption when the automatic air conditioning is “automatic” is high and when you go down into the “ECO” mode and the power hole is gone. I have always driven with the setting “Automatic”. To me the consumption seems quite high. Ford says it would be normal and the dealer says he can’t find a mistake. Since he can’t find a mistake, he can or doesn’t want to do anything. Has an experience with the consumption and the Kim automatic on this model. Would be very nice if you could tell me consumption data. Thank you Marc

  • Lower Mondeo Tournament?

    Hello, I gave us half a year ago for my family a Ford Mondeo TDCI tournament Bj 2003! Most of the time my wife drives it. Actually she is quite satisfied with it. But she doesn’t like the somewhat “smoky” driving behavior. He would shunk too badly. Now I wanted to ask here if someone with lowering springs knows, or maybe even has installed some. What experiences have been made? Which brand is to recommend? How much should you lower the car, so that there is still enough comfort? etc. etc. Many thanks in advance. Many greetings Sveenie.c

  • Fear of type-approval

    Hello, since I may have had to give you a good answer to the question of whether it’s good or bad, I’ve had to give you a good answer to the question of whether it’s good or bad. I’ve bought a Ford Mustang GT from the 2013 series. In the vehicle license it’s marked as an imported vehicle and I’ve also got a TÜV certificate and an exemption pursuant to § 70 StVZO and § 47 FZV that’s the exceptions for the light (red side markers) and the immobilizer. Of course there’s also an opinion according to § 21 StVZO as it’s an imported vehicle. So, now on the problem: I have a JLT air filter in it and from Rush tailpipes (possibly also more). Neither the exhaust nor the air filter is included in the report? And the report says: 47, 47c, 47d, 48 – exhaust gases, discharge of exhaust gases, carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption, emission classes for motor vehicles have to give you the order 49 – the noise and sound system should be prepared for me.

  • Is there anyone who can help me?

    Sorry that I open a thread again, I urgently need an AW, since I still want to go home today and do not want to spend the lunch in a workshop, thank you! Hi, today car completely nomrally parked in the parking lot. After the purchase started, light bulb flashes. Car off, then started again, still flashes. Then I drove home and turned off after about 8 km car and no more blinking, car then drove also quite normal. As the fault still was, did not turn on, my opinion also the Turbo, had the feeling that I drive a car with 90 hp. What do you mean, what could the lying down. Diesel filter was changed before about 10000 km. Alas, have still read the code in the cockpit DTC E200 DTC d262 R 206, ER 206 can one with it something start? Or after what else I have to look at?

  • Mondeo ́02 climate

    Hello together, since today is again wet cold weather and I had to drive again with foggy windows through the area, I have in the early morning already again “a neck”. At car operation not the quietest breath of air comes to the front window, anyway nothing can be regulated manually, unless you press the cute button to make a disc-free-on top, on which a hurricane blows around your ears. According to Ford everything is fine. Do they really want to fuck me? It can’t be possible that it should not be possible in 2004 to regulate an air conditioning system rationally. That could already be better for my 73er-coach. Does anyone have a solution / experiences?

  • Questions about seat heating and the ASR

    Hello guys! I didn’t actually install any ASR or seat heating on my Mondeo, so there’s a slot at the point where these switches were actually available: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/978/XR2o4IJI_jpg.htm Now I’ve pulled out this time, and I’ve noticed that there were 3 connectors behind it: 1. http://www.directupload.net/file/d/978/L5IM8hi4_jpg.htm 2. http://www.directupload.net/file/d/978/388lt3Nh_jpg.htm Now I’m wondering if vi easy the seat heaters are already available, as is the ASR? Can I imagine very difficult, but who knows, for my on-board computer the cables and sensors were already available. But I’m afraid it’s too easy if I just have to buy the switches and plug in the plugs *g* My storage compartment has only “blind holders” for the plugs at the back. Say there’s no purpose at the moment with the plugs: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/978/QsqDP Dj_jpg.htm By the way, not all pins of the plugs are occupied. Here are some photos: Seat heating driver: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/978/yay3VaUF_jpg.htm ASR plug: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/978/K4x85dB9_jpg.htm Seat heating passenger: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/978/2WM3Vnid_jpg.htm What can you tell me about this matter? Now maybe some people would tell me that I should just check under the seats whether heating wires for the seat heating system g are available, but unfortunately I don’t know how to remove the reference of the seats looking forward to your answers MFG Danny

  • Experience with ST220 ?

    Hello everyone, have an Audi A4 2.8 Quattro V6, but will not be very happy with the Ingolstadter Karre, because it is quite ok in terms of performance, but half the time is with the friendly one and is reflected in the budget like the new interceptors for the Bundeswehr – at least EUR 700 for every service, because there is always something to repair I would therefore be interested in a Mondeo ST 220, how are the experience values in terms of reliability and rep before the Audi had a Mondeo V6 BJ 01 and a Cougar V6, the two never made such problems as the A4 (but unfortunately were destroyed in accidents). Let’s see, maybe I’m better off with Ford than with Audi?

  • Question about automatic transmission: Mondeo V6

    Hello, I’m new here in the forum and have a problem with my Mondeo V6 Kombi, year 1999 125kW, automatic, about 130 000 km. And that is: When I start it all is still normal. After a while the “OD” light starts to flash and the transmission switches much harder. This can happen every five kilometers, or I can drive 20 and more kilometers. Strangely enough, this only happens in the “D” stage. When I turn off/on the ignition the spook is gone again to the next level. I read out the control unit when an error message comes: “Converter bridge coupling does not close”. But I can’t quite understand that, because I should have already heated the converter in case of a defect of the coupling. Oil level of the gearbox is ok, the oil has a pink color without impurities. Who knows advice? Gruss Richard
