  • Ford Scorpio MK1 – DOHC 2.0i – Valve flaps

    Hello, I drive a Ford Scorpio with DOHC engine 2.0i with 120 hp. In July I had replaced the cylinder head gasket and the cup plunger. Now a valve flaps on warm / hot engine. Could it be that a cup plunger is faulty or it has formed a contamination, a “thrombosis” in the course of the repair, which affects the hydraulic valve compensation? (steam bubbles, heat bubbles, air, etc. in the return valve of the plunger) If I have 5 new cups of plunger v On the back with a wooden handle firmly press on the regulator valve, comes some oil out of the bumps, which means that the small ball inside does not close clean. Now I want to install some better, expensive shocks from AJUSA. Maybe then is quiet.

  • Cooling water circuit Fiesta big problem

    Hello people was again today in the factory saddle and have the valve play complained (last Tuesday they were freshly adjusted), today again after, but this does now in the eye nothing to the matter. The trainee from the 3year of teaching was among other things also busy on my car. I told him that my cooler tube forms here some green chip. The azubi said yes that would be only cooling water he could make it short away would be done. So he did it. When I then lo sfur was so far good after a few km I smelled a strange smell like oil or cool water concentrate. I immediately stopped at the tank, and I saw that the pen had not really tightened the clamp from the cooler hose and the cool water just dripped out. The container was still quarter full when I turned off the engine (hope it made the engine nox). I then helped me hollowed and pliers and we got the hose with clamp again properly tightened and the g etropfel removed, it also ran bitle water into the pit where my spark plug sits. (hope it did not break. After almost the complete cooling water had leaked out we again filled up with glycatin and water. about half to three-quarters full so not until the MIN. Mark. Then we started the engine and let warm run again and gave bitle gas, the water overrun almost every time (we left the lid open indeed wanted to vent). My questions are now what could have broken the engine, water pume, cooler etc. The thermostat is probably already over when the cooling is switched on so late. I have now looked where the engine has cooled down again the tank is about half full. I let the best driving tomorrow morning immediately to another factory and let see how long it takes until the water cycle is right again and possibly the e air is outside, can be because the cooling didn’t work properly. The workshop does not want to do for just what the pen has done. They said it was only the inspection of the valves commissioned, what the pen did with the green chip on the cooling water hose would be pure courtesy and was not included in the reperatur order. So what do you say now sounds like shit for me, well I am happy about answers tips advice etc MFG J ENS

  • Ford Fiesta Courier Diesel

    Hello I have a start problem with my Ford Courier Diesel. If it’s cold then it only starts very willingly and I have to give 3 times before glowing and with the reason org and full gas until it starts. But that’s what he does only if he has stood longer than 2 hours. So if the engine is cold. Once the engine has run it jumps immediately without problems. I don’t know so much about it and hope someone can give me a tip what it could be. The courier is EZ 22.12.1998 and has 46500 km on the speedometer. Thanks to Vilen already in advance and a good slide into the new year.

  • Fiesta 1.4 Ghia with 2.5 liters “overtankable”?

    Hello, a question seeking help to all connoisseurs: A client of mine has received a termination because of alleged manipulation of tank fillers: You don’t believe that she actually wants to have 47.3 liters of super fuel in her 45 liters of Ghia 1.4. Is this technically possible? (For some cars – Sharan- it is possible)? Does the filler only contain this “multiple quantity”. She says to drive always strongly in the reserve area. For answers and tips I am very grateful! Nele

  • Problems Ford Scorpio

    Dear Ford Scorpio Friends I bought a Ford Scorpio 2.9 in August. Slightly more than 100000km. Every year the vehicle was brought into the same garage. I did not find out during the test drive that the vehicle is in cold condition again and again. In cold condition the vehicle can be started once, but is not played with the gas and the vehicle is hardly to start at all. From the previous owner still Fr. 4500.- were issued, until the e Garage stamped the vehicle as a total damage. As a remark, I bought the vehicle from a garage and not directly from the previous owner. I myself have now also issued Fr. 1500.-. Replaced the MAP sensor like the Temp.Sensor. My garage then informed me that vehicle can not be repaired. Now I have a actually service-kept Scorpio, which apparently cannot be repaired. Has someone already experienced something like this and can help me. Bin Thank you for every advice, advice and advice. Greetings and a good start to 2018 from Switzerland.

  • 2.0 liter Sierra Motor OHC , NEJ, HC, Valves set

    Evening, I might need some help. After I found out about the distributor and the engine is running, the valves are set up. I have read in the WHB and also dared to do so. I also got a few tips. I have only one question to ask: When releasing the towing lever through the cam of the camshaft you should measure this distance. According to WHB you should take “as wide a” lesson sheet as possible. u is “as wide as possible”. Is there a default? For example 0.5 or 0.35 or 0.8 ? How should the distance between cams and towing lever be so that I adjust the valve play correctly? The valves themselves are adjusted in stages 0.15, 0.20 depending on (inlet or outlet). But this must also be in conjunction with the distance from cams to towing levers. Please “brain” . Thank you.

  • Oil change Automatic transmission

    Hello, wanted to give my new purchase time an oil change of the automatic transmission. Switches impeccable but prevent is always better if you have to deal with old sheet metal and the maintenance level is uncertain about that. Have been looking for a lot but unfortunately not found. Gear oil filters are always offered only from year 10. 1977 however is my year 05. 1977 and then allegedly does not fit. Maybe someone can help me here. After what must I search or where is the gear code? Oh so, my purchase decision for a Scorpio I do not want to withhold from you. Criteria were for me Lots of equipment, 4 cylinders, automatic, cheap in the purchase and preferably rear drive. Since I always look as a second car in a certain price category it fits like the fist on the eye. Everything works, 2 hand and to the appearance I have already accustomed myself Many thanks in advance

  • Defected light ring of the cigarette lighter socket

    Hello, I recently found that the light ring of the cigarette lighter’s socket is not (more) lit. To solve the problem, I would like to expand the socket. How can I expand it exactly? Is the light ring illuminated by an incandescent lamp in my ’88 Ford Scorpio? If so, does someone have the exact specification at hand? Or does the whole light ring have to be replaced? Speaking of: I checked the appropriate fuse and electricity arrives. Thank you in advance.
