  • Warranty extension not possible? Help!

    Hello dear MotorTalker, I have the following urgent problem: I want to buy a used FTC which was approved 06/2019. He has the normal factory warranty over 24 months and is also built for the German market, so no reimport. Now the dealer says that a Ford warranty extension is not possible with this vehicle, because the first registration has taken place on a commercial company. I believe, however, the dealer only wants to sell his own used car warranty. I of course did not want his own warranty and for that to come to the Ford warranty extension. On the Internet pages for the Garatie extension at Ford there is nothing about it and the hotline mentioned there is a company, which not only for Ford, but for many dealers and manufacturers sold guarantees and which could or wanted to give me no information about it. Is there anyone with you who has experience with it? Thank you and greeting Sascha

  • Mondeo for young drivers?

    Hey people, I’m about to buy a Ford Mondeo. But somehow the Mondeo has an “Opa image”!? So that this car isn’t driven by young drivers. So on the one hand it doesn’t matter to me, the car is good.But I don’t want to regret anything in 1 year or so! So that you can imagine it all better, I’ll write down some data of the Mondeo and you can tell me if it’s a good offer! I hope for numerous answers (and hope that I don’t attack anyone with the “Opi image” is just such a guess) FORD Mondeo Ghia 4/5 door first registration 04/1995 mileage 104,000Km kW/PS 85/116 exterior color Bordeaux-Red-Me metallic interior color Black gears 5 cylinder 4 cylinder 1796 cm3 doors 5 These extras(!): ABS, catalyst, air conditioning, aluminum rims, winter tires.

  • Activated carbon filter/brakes Mondeo 01

    Hello! I had my Mondeo 2.0 TDDI today at the inspection (80000 km). By the way, cost 160 €. On the assumption I said that it should be as cheap as possible. I was offered not to change the activated carbon filter, since one can put it off. Is that ok? Where does the filter actually sit, I can change it myself?! With Dieter basket “Now I help myself” I found nothing, and also the view into the engine compartment did not help me. Where do I buy it cheaply? In addition, it was found that the front brakes hold up to a maximum of 5000 km. In fact, the discs are already clearly worn out, a clear inrun edge is to be felt at the outer edge. The brake locks are of course already clearly worn out. Can one use brake discs from another manufacturer, which should then be of course cheaper?

  • Mustang 2016 “Easy Fuel” or rather “Easy access from strangers to tank”?

    Servus together, last week I got a mustang. Nice car and above all striking. When I looked at the tank cover and the Easy Fuel system more closely, I was very surprised. Even if the vehicle is finished, I can easily get to the Easy Fuel system and with my finger through both flaps. The construction looks like this: First comes a slightly larger plastic flap and behind it is a smaller metal flap. Both I can push up without problems with my finger. Since no Ford dealer could give me an answer so far I try to clarify the topic here. Since the Mustang is quite striking and there are also bad people everywhere, I do not want to make it too easy for these people to introduce foreign bodies etc. into my vehicle. Are there already solutions or lockable tank closures to make it at least difficult to fill something that doesn’t belong in?

  • Buy Tips Escort Kombi

    Moin together after which I have driven now 3 Mondeo and 3 Scorpions, I will look tomorrow at an Ecort Kombi BJ 98 – since I am despite 50000km in the year autotechnic lay, I would like to ask the present Escort people sometimes what I should pay special attention to at the Escort (the typical Ford defects are of course known to me after almost 20 years of brand loyalty) the jewel has the 1.4 l machine and tuv until october 12. Run around the 180 000km. cost should he around the 400 Euronen- The Essi would then have the give up(if Tüv is made) over the next 2 years to run again 80 k km for approximate tips I would be grateful (alternatively I would have another 2 liter Sierra at hand with original 50000 km running performance for 700 Euronen)

  • Termination

    How does the end of the Escort Ghia work? Is there an electric motor somewhere as a starting aid? And if so, where can you find it? I searched with Google, but found little on this topic and also no building plans or something about an electric motor. Who knows?

  • Clutch slips

    Hello everyone. I drive an MK7 of 95 with 1.4L. The car belongs to me only for 1 month, got it from the dealer, previous owners are unknown. The car has almost 180TKM down. My problem looks like this: if I give off some powerful gas, the engine turns up but the car doesn’t turn faster. This happens in all corridors. Normally the acceleration (of the car) occurs delayed, I say “it slips after”. But often I have to take away gas first, so that the power comes back to the wheel. Ultimately it looks like I can only speed up slowly, because otherwise the power of the engine is lost somewhere on the way to the wheel. I am not exactly savvy about car technology, but my guess would be first of all that it is on the clutch. Here I have to say, however, that it seems to attack properly in the 1st course. But is probably only due to the favorable lever. My request to all experts: Please help me! Thanks in advance.

  • Car doesn’t take gas, it stutters

    My Escort Bj 96 1.6l 90 hp, Zetec engine, as a tournament the gas does not take any more, speed drops, threatens to go out. Started the problem with bad start and stutter until it was warm. Then it ran perfectly. Meanwhile it is almost impossible to drive, stutters only, brings no more power. Have already changed the spark plugs and the air filter and replaced the fuel filter… what ran out there with petrol little was more than dark. Do you perhaps have to “wash” the wires? Maybe I should mention that I am a woman, have no idea and run from workshop to workshop without any success. The fuses and also the relay for the fuel pump are in order. The temperature sensor for the cooling circuit is so hidden that you can get the plug off, but no view on the sensor itself has so that you can not see which tool is needed. Besides, there is no room for any tool at all. Have by now on hand the vehicle data already bought two different feelers, but there is no need for you to know about it.

I turned out spark plugs times and cleaned out but no change.Now yesterday was the ADAC times because he has sprayed at the front of the distributor and then he has also run – until the man has stopped spraying He meant then the fuse box must have new boxes so around the 250€ and the gasoline pump would not run .
