  • ESCORT looks for GRÜNE badge – fine dust filter hot shower

    I am an escort freak and have been driving my first car for almost 20 years the “Escort 1.8 Diesel” (Fzg.-Ident.-Nr.: WF0AXXGCAALS59413), up to today 380,000 km stainless Thanks to Autosaver. Now I urgently need your or your specialist help. I can only reach fine dust class ROT (GAT-Filter), but need a GREEN badge to drive my Escort further. Can you or you help me and tell me who can do the Escort against payment on GRÜN? The car looks optically and technically old I have always cared for and invested and I very much depend on it. — Thank you very much – Your Kai-Uwe (kai-uwe.sabine @ t-online.de) More details Car license: -23.04.1990 – 0928-698 0085 -01 – 0200 – WF0AXXGCAALS59413 -3 FORD GAF —- ESCORT FORD (D) Passenger cars Closed Low pollutant Euro 2 Diesel 0002-0425-01741 etc.

  • oil smoke

    Hello, I have here a normal Escort 1,6l 16V 90 HP built in 1998. This is one without EFI suction bridge, which already has the beautiful plastic bridge from below. At this was known that the oil burned, water burned and also oil was in the cooling water. So the cylinder head seal. The car came from Düsseldorf and had to drive to Hanover, about 300 km with it gently. I have now everything renewed: cylinder head seal, valve shaft seals, water pump, timing belts, cooling water There were no abnormalities with the cylinder head, so no obvious cracks or similar. Cylinder head was also planned. At the old seal one also saw places where it no longer carried. As the head was also below I cleaned the idle switch, thermostat renewed etc. However, the speed remains at approx. 3500 rpm, as soon as you exceed it, if you stay below it also goes down to idle. Just above it not t. What can this be about? It’s not an automatic transmission. Above all, what bothers me is that it is also noticeably squeezing from this speed… and the smoke is very oily… Now I wonder, where does the oil come from?? Does Ford have any problems or something that I haven’t seen? Or is it still residual oil from the driveway? Valve shaft seals are new, so they can’t be. What do you mean so??

  • grim theme jerking in the warm condition

    Hello together, the frequently occurring topic is jerking with a 96 Escord 16V with Zetec engine. he hooks up the jerking when he has reached the operating temperature,(display for example in the middle) Then he starts to buck, no more gas takes on. In idle mode the speed commutes between 1200 and and almost go out.After switching off and nem Neustaart after 1-2 min he runs again normal for some time. I believe all the topics that the jerking encounters read through, it still jerks. Now I have replaced the following parts in this order. 1. Spark plugs (were NGK in) 2 ignition cables 3. Ignition coil 4. Themperature sensor (however, was the one on the themostat housing which is however responsible for the fan tested I crankcase venting Kat is healing, no shearing and leaking in the underpressure sys. nothing determined What could it still be? Have another control unit there, however, since the last two letters of the part no. are different, I can d (is from a 94er 1.6 16V without immobilizer) Where can I find the sensor that sends the water heater to the ECU? Would it bring what the ECU by disconnecting the batt. to reset and relearn? I am grateful for every tip to solve the problem greet Sauerland

  • Maintenance Focus II ST as well as other experiences

    Hey mates! I would like to have the complete maintenance costs for the new ST! Here are: Insurance Tax Consumption Tyre prices (how good is the standard tyres) Customer service How are your experiences on the race track so far? are there already which ones were on the ring or Hockenheim? Ever measured a Vmax with GPS? acceleration times 0-100 and more important 100-200? How does it last from about 210km/h? I guess by the slightly larger cylinder capacity a little more efficient, or ? CW-value? reason for these questions: I have a Honda Civic Type-R (see signature) and am just thinking if I should exchange it for a ST. It’s not as expensive in maintenance as my Type-R as I see it to date, but it must be more boring to drive… because it’s not a speed-dicksau, let alone puristic!

  • Refuel SuperPlus = Save?!

    I once again – (who else?) I would like to share an experience. After I had given my Ti-VCT instead of Super Benzin SuperPlus out of a “tempered” two weeks ago (just give him the good fabric), I noticed something then: The consumption indicator of my BC, which had fed itself over the winter due to rides with light, heating, windscreen wiper etc. on a consumption value between 8 and 8.5 liters, inserted a galloping reverse movement. h 2x Tankfüllung SuperPlus I caught her finally jumping secretly on 7.5ltr/100km – and that without previous reset of the last value! Now I wanted to know it. Refueled again, again SuperPlus, this time consumption indicator set back and observed the following days with eagle eyes. It is now at 6.6ltr/100km and I have not changed my driving mode… . Since I observed my fuel consumption based on the tank receipts and the driven kilometers e (Unfortunately, the BC is not exactly!) it turns out that I now consume a whole litre at 100 kilometers of WENIGER. Range Tank filling = 650 -700km = 6.5 liters saved = (6,5ltr x 1,30€) = 8.45€ Additional costs SuperPlus = 0,06€/ltr = (50ltr x 0,06€) = 3,00€ 8,45€ – 3,00€ = 5.45€ Savings per tank filling. Now I ask you: Isn’t that worth at least one thought?

  • DVD Navi and I don’t know what to do…

    Hello together, has one of us already installed another Navi in his Focus II or even ST (Kenwood or Alpine)? Are there pics of it? If yes, have the boxes been changed? What about the connection to the CAN bus, is a Dietz adapter enough? Where did you hide the Navicomputer (e.g. Kenwood)? Where does the GPS antenna go? Am I really hard to think about whether I should order my ST with or without Navi, who can help? Huh thanks, Greeting Birdmaster

  • KA: Four-year limit?

    Hello, my Ka Futura EZ 05/01, 55,000km, has recently developed a preference for workshop stays, needed e.g. completely new brakes, now the compressor of the A/C has broken and the axle cuff is marode, so should be renewed soon. Besides, the little one starts to rust slowly, e.g. at the window buttons. Does this go on and on now? I’m not really so willing, every year beside the costs of wear parts (tires special size!) still 500-70 0 € for workshop costs. What are the experiences?

  • heat. Front window ordered – but not delivered – retrofitting possible?

    Hello together! With our new C-Max the special equipment “Heatable windshield” ordered by us was not delivered. According to the dealer a retrofit is technically not possible and it therefore offers us in addition to refund of the surcharge (self-evidently) a discount still to be negotiated… – How far can I trust the statement regarding the not possible retrofit? – What a discount is possible or usual in such cases? Thanks for feedback! Mar tin

  • Advice on purchase: euro2-euro3; tuning; consumption; km performance; etc

    Hello! I have an offer available for nen Focus.He has already 200,000 km, however, is from the dealer, i.e. I have 1 year warranty and the timing belt and everything else is also made. Is that ok then? Oh yes 3990 euro he still should cost. hope I get the price still around 200-300 down if I hit. here the link, then you can see:http://www.mobile.de/…/da.pl?… the vehicle still has euro 2, can you tell me what such a conversion to euro 3 cost will? I want to have it already, otherwise the taxes are far too high for me. how is that with the indicated consumption? does that come? 8,5 l? knows someone like it’s in city traffic or on short distances? if I should decide for the car, what about (chip)tuning? is there something to do? what does that cost and how much ps does that bring? how high is the max speed with the car? does the model have any typical “diseases” or what particularly positive? if it is sons there is something else to say (except that I want to know too much… 🙂 ), just get out. in advance thank you for your help!!!!!
