  • New KA failed at HU and AU

    I drive a Ka, BJ 3/2002, 48,000 kilometers. I am a quiet and economical driver, I only drove him out two or three times (Tacho 180 ). When he had to go to the TÜV for the first time, he fell through both the HU and the AU because of the following defects: – valve cover seal leaks (engine was oiled) – brake brakes one side – exhaust gas value at idle speed too high Then I brought the car into my workshop. The idle speed was no longer correct, because a marten bit through a hose, said the workshop master. By the way, the car was three months before (about 4,000 kilometers before) for inspection at Ford Lüttgen in Bergisch Gladbach. But apparently my suspicion was confirmed that I was allowed to pay for this inspection, but it was never carried out. urde. Because if at 48,000 km the coverings were already 100% down, so that they have already ruined the brake discs, one should have seen this already long ago during the inspection (at 44,000 km). The workshops are really bad at the…

  • Timing belt change at Escort 1.6l 16V 90PS

    Hello, my Escort BJ 95 has now run 63000. Therefore the timing belt should be changed. The workshop at my place around the corner would like 150 euros for this! I had already bought the flat web belt and the timing belt myself (just 50 euros). Since I have always done everything myself on the VW, Kadett and Audi 80 (coupling, Bremen, timing belt, water pump), I would like to venture up to the 16V. Can someone tell me what I should bear in mind! Where are the make-up on the gears? How will the Za hnbelt tensioned? (water pump, extra tensioner?, special key required?) Thank you, Gruss Bernd

  • Ford won’t start any more!

    Hello, today my wife drove a few meters with her Ford escort BJ 04/91. After a few meters the Ford went out and didn’t move anymore. I have the feeling that the Ford doesn’t get fuel. Could the petrol pump be defective? But the gasoline pump starts! ́Can it be that the pump no longer leads enough fuel to the engine? Recently also the battery was changed.Can this somehow be connected with it? but it’s already 6 weeks since the battery change. The Ford sp But in the last few days it was always bad! what could that be?

  • Escort tournament 16V BJ 97, problems mt used car warranty

    Hello! Ford Escort Tournament 16 V Ghia Automatik EZ: 01/97 KM: 95140 90 HP Gasoline Hello I have had an escort for 6 months (approx. 6000 km of driving power) (data see above). I bought it from an Opel dealer. From the beginning, the death of a cold engine and the “rescue” of the automatic was claimed. Div. Ignition settings were changed and the ignition cables changed. Nothing really succeeded. Before 150 KM the drive was broken (drive train). Lt. the workshop was a complete used automatic transmission replaced. Here the guarantee takes over 100% work and 60% material. After approx. 150 KM the car has stopped again. The turning roller (?) of the timing belt is broken. Timing belt is OK. But the Ventiele are bent etc. Hander estimates 1400 EUR repair. Now the problem. The used car warranty refuses to pay. Since the customer service (all in the checkbook) has not been made by the Ford workshop. Thus is not sure The master of the Opel workshop thinks that the parts look very good and have been exchanged with high security. How do I best proceed ? Thank you!
