  • 2 Problems from the TÜV report

    Hi, I wanted to know how expensive you appreciate the repair of the following two problems (incl. repair): – Coupling rod right storage slightly increased game, renew Here I am not sure if only the warehouse has to be renewed (material costs of about 5 Euro) or the complete coupling rod (about 20 Euro, as far as I know) – threshold rear left and right strongly rusted, repair Here I find on the internet now completely different prices from 30 Euro to 150 Euro (someone Soaked parts) – how expensive is a sill, what does it look like with painting?

  • Motor tuning by resistance

    Hello to everyone I wanted to ask if this is really true. That you can manipulate the control system by a resistance thus increases the gasoline-Lufgemixe and thus the performance increases. Ciao Essi16v PS: Here is the link to the ebay articlehttp://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?…

  • Div. Problems with Escort (Rassels, speed, oil consumption)

    The following complex problem is an Escort Built 91 with 1.4l engine; 150Tkm (control unit changed from Ford in ’95 to Kulanz because of high consumption and low performance) The oil consumption of the car is already considerable. In the summer it takes a good 1.5l to 1000km in mix (50% city, 50% overland) Therefore, the oil exchange intervals since ’95 have almost never been observed, as one has only refilled. The oil exits on the valve cover, which can certainly be easily repaired. a considerable rattle from the engine came to this problem…(like metal himself) An excessively blue or white smoke in the exhaust gas did not notice. The AU also passed it again… The fuel consumption is at 10l, under it goes nothing. In addition, there are now still speed fluctuations, which make driving very difficult… How can I get to the bottom of the above mentioned problems or test them? To all excess the car rusts..so fast you can not weld..-> What ka nn to do against the edges on the wheelrails?

  • Return or price reduction?

    Hello everyone, I need your opinion: I bought a 99 Escort Kombi 1.8l 90PS diesel with a specified 123000 km a few weeks ago. Now it turns out that the box has 100000 km more on it, which I can also prove (was not recognizable from the condition, and I really paid attention to many details). The seller himself had not driven the car (probably again such a “private” car dealer, but I can’t prove it). 1. The possibility is to return the car, including the costs of incurred expenses minus the use (0,7-1% rule). 2. Possibility: corresponding reduction of the purchase price and now my question to you – what do you think of an escort with now 230000km? Technically, the thing makes me a very reasonable impression. (Puff new, brakes quite new, shock absorbers at the back also not a It should be changed then in any case still the timing belt, which then would have to be the task of the seller. How high would you think the price reduction then be? Oh yes, the purchase price was 1700,-€ and windshield was renewed by me. First of all thank you… —– no more car purchase without service booklet or similar know-how —–

  • Problems with the 1.6 16V Zetec MOtor

  • Help

    Hello to all Essi drivers, I have asked again about questions that I would like to ask you. This is about my sound system. I have a Dual XDMR7710 radio (4x55Watt) (from the USA :-)) and in the trunk two approximately 3o years old Roeterl boxes with each 60 watts (but they still have a top sound). I probably get a bass role from a buddy soon and would like to connect it with me with neat wumms, but my radio has no further output for the role and probably not enough power. That’s why I ask if someone can box an amplifier for 2 normal and recommend a bass role? My bowdet is limited because I am in the first year of teaching. If I don’t get the bass role then I get a 300 watt bass box. Could you give me tips there? PS. I play with the thoughts to take out my back seats for more space, do I have to register this in the tuev? MFG Sascha

  • Fuel saving on the motorway

    Hello dear forum, I have a Ka 1.3l with 60hp and wanted to know how I can save Spirt on the highway best. I have already read here in the forum that people drive with their Ka on the AB 150 and have a consumption of 5.5. However, I consume so much if I drive stubborn 90 in 5th gear. Can someone give you more details about how much l the Ka 80, 90, 100, … 150 kmh needs? Would I really be interested in this. If this would consume only 10% more on 100km, w If I would rather drive 130 instead of 90, that would be worth it to me, because almost nobody drives so slowly on the AB. Somehow I miss something like a 6th gear with which I could drive even at 140 things in the low speed range. How do you see this? Thanks in advance

  • Squeaking brakes and rim gets very hot

    Hello, and thank you already in advance ! Have again a problem with my KA 1.3 liter Built. 1996 ! If I drive more than 50 kilometers the rim becomes very hot and it smokes from the recesses of the rim. It seems as if the brake pistons do not go back and the pads constantly grind on the disc. At the descent without gear the mileage decreases ennorm ! What can I do there, have already two times the saddles removed and with Caramba the bolts fettered t. Now the problem was gone, but it has already come back! Is a new caliper helpful?

  • Higher fuel consumption Escort 1,6

    I have a Ford Escort 16l 16V Bj 93 and have always had a consumption of 7.5L never above 8L. Since 3 tank fillings I am now at 9L consumption. I also noticed that the engine temperature rises only slowly from the cold range, and usually only slightly rises into the standard range. Does anyone know the problem? Maybe a thermostat/thermo switch or something defective? If yes, where is this and how does one check it? cu sammy
