Mistdreck: Ford KA, EZ 05/2000, bought! 60T down, crackers mowed after test drive, valves were set…nothing….new camshaft in it…nothing! He clacks cheerfully! Eats the control chain??? Should chain and spanner be checked? What else can it be? Am I the only one who hears this??? Used goods dealer (no Ford dealer) is almost gone! Who can help? Guarantee available! Finally give into the hands of a Ford dealer? Who knows each other with the this guarantee shit out? I’m just about to freak out!!!

Hi there, I wanted to ask you what you think of this offer.So it seems kind of funny to me, because usually these models are sold for a lot more. Quote: Escort, 1.8 16 V, Zetec, 105 PS, Mod. 96, Euro2, 1. Hd., original 132 tkm, TÜV/AU 3/04, uffr., violet-met., 2x Airbag, RC, RDS, GSD, ZV, Servo, ABS, WFS, 8-f. ber., SH, 1.650,- I called the guy and he meant with new Tüv/Au I could have him for 1,500€ You think the offer is realistic, ode r do you think there is something lazy? Would be really grateful for a quick answer, as I would have to look at the car afterwards. Thank you in advance Greetings Marius

Hello together, I am since the middle of November ́03 proud owner of a Focus FUTURA 1.8l TDCI 115 hp. EZ.10.02. 4-door of course!!! I have a few minor problems however. And that is: 1. Rattert the engine when I step the clutch. The Ford workshop told me this is normal, that is a DIESEL. The rattert so when you step the clutch. 2. It is a way to knock more to hear noise when I am at 120 km/h on the highway. 3. My windscreen wash nozzles adjust to the driving. I set them yesterday evening, this morning the windows were washed, everything was fine. On the highway the windows were washed again, then the beam almost went over the car again. Ford means that can’t be. If the nozzles at the stand (show) do not adjust what they did not, then that can’t happen after a ride. The master did not say it directly, but so it came over, that he did me for crazy driving. 4) Is a problem where I may already know the cause. Since the question is whether and how I can fix it myself. And indeed my blower runs restless. Ford believes there is a leaf leaf in the pollen filter. But if so, then this would not be a guarantee, so Ford advised me to wait until the next inspection, then the pollen filter will be renewed anyway. But that will take another year. Don’t I come to it myself? were so my problems with my new car. Can one of you help me? Ford feels obviously overwhelmed with these issues except for the ventilation. Please help me, I would like to enjoy my car again!!!

Hi, I would be interested in how your experiences in the field of consumption are. I have a 94s, almost 95s Mondeo tournament, AHK etc. with 80000 Km (I bought it with 75000 Km for 2450€, horny offer), 66Kw and I am a bit disappointed about the consumption. He swallows 12 liters and highway at 130 Km/h around 10, is that normal or is something wrong? In the operating instructions he is indicated with less consumption, but that means nothing… Thanks in advance. Greetings Stephen

K A U F W A R N U N G : Touchscreen DVD-Navi Hi, look in there:http://www.geo24.de/…/bid28-sid78e5633f45e15d7a6fbbc57305dbcc24.htm Ford sells a Sch***-DVD-Navi in Mondeo2004, full of mistakes! Pure scrap. Ford only wants to sell his crap, when he has then turned on one, he lets us hang. The complaints become more and more common, and Ford sells the part unsettledly for 2100 EURO!!! Hello folks, don’t buy the sh…-part anymore. Make yourself at www.geo24.de in Ford -Forum smart! Bye, your siggi

Hello everybody, I’ve been Audi+VW driver for a long time, and now I want to buy a station wagon or something like that. Since Audi + VW has become much too expensive, and I like the Mondeo and the C-Max very much, we think about getting a Mondeo combi or C-Max as a gasoline driver. Now I am constantly reading of defects and rust of new cars, so I have some doubts. Or is there also Ford drivers “without defects”? Does someone actually drive a current Modeo combi with the 1.8l gasoline machine and has experiences to report?? Thank you for every hint! MfG simon.michel

Hello guys, so I have a Fiesta BJ 1991 with 40 KW and am actually very satisfied with the reliability. To my problems: 1. Does he need a lot of oil (about 1l on 1000 km) but in the engine compartment there is little to recognize. Is it bad that he burns it? I just fill it more often… 😉 2. Does he sometimes have a yellowish slime at the place where one refills oil. It may be that this has only happened since when he got a little hot by tearing off the V-belt. but I’m not sure. I’m not from the subject and I’m very grateful for all kinds of help, of course.

Hello! I have the following problem with my XR3i Cabrio Bj. 87 with KE-Jetronic 90 HP: In a warm condition the engine jerks a little, which expresses itself, as if there were a problem with the ignition system (Zündaussetzer). I have here, because I myself car-mechanic connected the vehicle to an engine tester, whereby I could see that on the part of the ignition system everything is ok. Furthermore I checked the idle exhaust values, which are also ok. To an error/falsc to exclude heinsetellung of the mass divider idle basic setting I have installed an experimental megenteiler of another vehicle, whereby the error persisted. Has someone already gained experience with this error and can say how to fix this problem? Thank you in advance! MfG. J.Terlinden

Hello, Here’s a question from Holland so please excuse for error in my German…. Drive yourself a Mondeo tournament TDCI 130 HP , EZ 03-2002 and now 95Tkm. Have had quite a lot of manco’s with the engine (injection box, pump, chip, computer) and now the engine is always nog not running well. I have now (according to the workshop) CD-27 installed, and engine is quite loud. Zehr noisy when cold, but always nog loud when warm. Klinkt zehr metallicisch, und i think this is a software reason ha t. With Processer CD-26 the engine was really less noisy, but has “turned” between 1800-2200 tpm. Fast and comfortable (except the larm) is the Mondeo, and consumption is always around 6.0-6.5 liters / 100 km Really clean and good is probably impossible for the TDCI, I think that somewhere in the concept is something not good. Does Ford think that too, and is that the reason that is installed in the Focus C-Max now the HDI 136 Ps / 320Nm ? I heard that the new Volvo S40 / V50 also the the HDI 136 hp diesel, and not the “orginal” 130 hp TDCI as well as the recent is installed in the Jaguar. What is peculiar to the Grose plan of Ford with the 2-liter 4-cylinder diesel engines? Why parallel the 130 hp Ford and the 136 Ford / PSA engine? Who can give me more info ? Thank you..

Hello together, since recently I am Ford Mondeo 2.0 (Bauj. 08.2001) Diesel driver. The machines are the 2.0 TDDI 115 HP version. The car we bought used at a workshop and runs so great. However (don’t know exactly) we have problems with the paint. The paintr who painted the cars for the workshop simply did not have it on it. After 4 starts he got it on the line (probably). Reason: the paint had gone off again. (D) now the dealer has made us an offer because we had so much trouble. For an extra charge of 1500 euros we would get a Ford Mondeo Bauj 1/2003, TDCI 130PS. The car has about 27000km (which now has 52000km). Equipment is the same (both GHIA equipment). I am thinking about whether I should do this or not. I would be very happy about the answers.
