  • Battery Problems

    Hello! I just searched the forum, but couldn’t find anything that could solve my problem, so I hope for you Escort XR3i BJ 92 If the car is standing for several hours, it won’t start any more. The window lifters, the light, the radio goes all the way. If I then do start-up help, or recharge the battery, it starts without any problems. Even if I let it roll down the mountain it starts well. If I turn it off and start a short time later it usually works. The only thing I’ve changed lately was the changed clock, which now has blue LEDs. According to ATU Test, the battery is perfectly fine, is also only one year old. Is it the alternator???? Already thanks for the answers that hopefully will come soon.

  • PLEASE READ! PROBLEMS WITH MK7 CABRIO AT STARTING

    Hello people have the following problem: if I want to start my mk7, the ignition goes on but if I continue turning to start the motor does not do anything he gurgles not even! the led under the clock should actually light up when starting for 2-3 sec. but if the problem is there she doesn’t do it. the problem is also net always there but only occasionally, but on the car there is no longer any reason. I have tried it with a push, but he doesn’t go there either, the reason why but the problem is still there. I thought it was the immobilizer, right???? because it goes with pushing also net???? the car usually starts at me in front of the door of the house, but if I happen somewhere else it always happens that the motor net starts. has had such a problem before???? would be happy to answer a few questions. mfg alex from ffm.

  • with ford on the phone, don’t have a plan!! it’s about paint

    so it’s about that I got a used bumper, which I want to paint in car color. I just phoned with ford and wanted to know what a liter or kilo costs. wanted to tell him the chassisr., but he meant: nee that’s no use to me, it only works with spray cans with this nr. I say: why can’t the color code be read out from the number or not? answer: no only with spray cans. then he still said that the color is mixed separately n has to and that such a kilo or liter, 80€ costs. Yes great and now? ey that can not be so complicated?!?! I once had a spray can, it said on it: Cassis/Belladonna you have an idea what to do now? oh so what else, my bumper has this chrome trim. do you know how to make it?

  • Odd rolling noise at the front…

    Moin, recently heard a roll noise in the front (my left side, i.e. driver side). Always appears like this from 50 km/h. It’s not permanet, but in even rhythm, seconds or so. A kind of hum. Also make me feel a slight vibration. At highway flag is not to be heard. Thought at wheel bearings, so shook at the tire, but not to determine a game. The tires look ok, but have only about 5 mm profile. Could it possibly also be through the R Have this been torn down a few thousand kilometers… Does anyone have a suspicion? Wheel camp, can it be? Thanks for hints… Does not know what it might be… Greeting from Hamburg Stefano

  • Artificial leather seats cover

    Moin Moin Has anyone had any experience covering his seats with faux leather, or does someone know his seats covered with K-leather? What are pro and contra? I’m torn back and forth at the moment. The saddler, after all, advised me to use K-leather and not cattle skin. Because, with a cowhide for a whole interior decoration, too many color differences can occur. The difference between K-leather & a cowhide would not be noticed today. And of course a P I would like to thank Mr Leftiman for his excellent report.

  • Sierra Cosworth pushes after

    It’s about the Sierra Cosworth 4×4. And I have the following peculiarities: Every now and then I do a BMW drive-hunting and in the meantime I’ve noticed that when I’m pushing it at 150 km/h (and that’s what it does so well) and then let go of the gas at 170 again that he’s speeding up again very briefly as if I were going to step through again. I don’t have an afterburner. Then at 230 km/h he sucks very tenderly (pedal kicked through). ) as if there wasn’t enough fuel in the tank. I also have to explain that for a month I drove only a highway and left it for 3 weeks because I drove there with the scooter in nice weather. Does he want to tell me at 157000 km that he wants to retire or does he require euthanasia ??

  • Scorpio MK-I or MK-II, this is the question

    Since in one of my other contributions, admittedly a bit outside of the topic, a little “strike” has come up about whether the design of the MK-I or that of the MK-II is better, we can take a little bit of it out here. Just mention the reasons that led you to purchase the respective model. Besides the appearance, of course, also the comfort, the motorization and other technical aspects can be mentioned. My opinion: I just love the MK-II, because it is so extraordinary and is typically American. I may have watched too many American films from the 90s, where these shabby parts with squeaky tires shoot around a 90 degree curve and rock so hard that you got scared that it never stops. But I fell in love with the MK-II not least of all because I still don’t regret my decision to buy Cosworth. That’s the sound of the KickDown indescribably awesome!

  • Escort 86 1.4 CL Kat retrofitting

    Hi Com, I play with my grandma’s thought of getting her old Escort 86 with the 1.4 engine as a gift for the last years. He has Euro 1 and would therefore be considerably more expensive than her current Peugeot 206. What retrofitting possibilities are there with the engine and what can you achieve maximum with the cat? And what should you pay attention to with the model, meanwhile it is oldtimer and thus well into the years since it changed in 2005. At that time the gearbox was shrott she would never have given it and I also have many childhood memories with the car. Her model is somewhere in Africa (if he is still driving ), but identical will surely still exist somewhere. Be happy about answers.

  • Sierra N9C goes out

    Today I brought my sister home. During the ride the Sierra did not take any more gas and went out at the end. After several attempts at starting it, he went on, but as soon as I put it on the idle, so gave gas, he wanted to die off, let go of gas he sank to 500 to almost zero and caught himself at 800 revolutions. 10 seconds later. Then I gave it with gas and put on the 3500, but to come out of the meadow edge. Then I let myself be dragged and the engine ran around the 500 revolutions. So I thought once during the towing a gear in and let it come in. That felt like a motor brake, clutch kicked out and went out. At home he didn’t even show any more approaches to jump. Kat doesn’t make any noises but that he is the culprit. Lambda once pulled off, the vacuum hose sometimes arelated, but nothing changed. Do you have another idea? , because tomorrow I will take off the cat first and shake it or remove chunks. Well, candles, filters, oil 3 months ago are new. Fuel filters are one more possibility, because the Bock has already 200000 Km history behind it. By the way, I have the Cossi back again, I already managed that again.
