  • Fuel consumption; pressure in the tank

    Hello! Maybe you can help me. I have a problem: My Ford Fiesta (Bj 1995) has a quite high fuel consumption (about 10-11 liters). When I open the gas station the fuel cap is to hear a hissical noise and you feel like a whole load of air is coming to you. Does someone know what this is about and does someone have tips on how to reduce the fuel consumption (except the driving style something to change ;-)) ?? MfG Beltzebub

  • Flashed at 258 km/h on the motorway (useful help)

    When I opened my mail today, there was a flash image of me! I mean, I know that I have a lead foot and that eats often so that I am flashed! But when I read the speed I almost fell off the chair. Supposedly I said on the A1 in a 120 km/h zone and wrote 258 km/h?! How is this possible? Now I have to say sazu that I was on the road with the ST170. But also with the ST170. This is at least 216 km/h close. So how can it happen that they can prove me 258 km/h. That car is only optical and not tuned at the engine! I missed the sign, but had 180-200 km/h at most on the tacho. Please help me further and tell me what to do now! Can I confirm with an expert report that my ST170 can not be faster??? Or what should I do? Thanks already in advance!!! Ford-Focus-RS

  • FoFi The engine goes out permanently…

    Hoi, Hab the following problem with my Fiesta (94): In the last few days the engine often goes off when I uncouple and roll on a red traffic light in empty run… mostly when the engine is still cold but sometimes even when the engine is running warm. Mostly I get it directly again but it has ever happened to me three times that nothing happened at all. toboggan inclusive! the adac once meant that the engine would have been endlessly drunk… what do you think that can be? that the engine pulls too much gasoline? or what expensive? salutes guido

  • Hole in the rear silencer

    Recently the rear part of the rear silencer was separated from the pipe … Got a new one now. … But a positive thing had that when it was broken: the sound!!! Now my Fiesta sounds a bit boring again …. I heard that you can help with a hole! Can someone tell me more about it … is it useful? How does it look at the ASU afterwards .. or does someone recommend something else to me? I also heard that the hole helps to run the condensation water to Greetings Fiestadrive

  • hidden workshop test in Munich

    Hi I hope I’m stoned here as a “BMW driver” net. So I’ve been working in a car dealership in Munich for a few years, which was tested by Focus TV(Pro7) this week. They brought us a Ford Ka for inspection. 6 bugs were installed.And all the “muggles” were found.The whole thing was then aired.The mechanic was of course totally happy as well as the whole management.What do you think about it? I find the Ford in general doing a lot. What do you think about the Ford workshops and generally about such tests???? Would you like to share this with us? And should NO WORD be !!! Come on TV on Sunday, by the way. FORD the do what greeting Murat

  • Fully disappointed….V6

    Hello,I don’t want to make the Ford bad. I mean,it’s nice Ford and they’re cheap for behavior and also for spare parts. But I’m completely disappointed by the performance.I drive a Mondeo V6 Built 96, 170Ps. I bought the car half a year ago because I thought it looked good, deeply laid, hard and of the performance that’s enough for me. Then if I give gas,whether in the city or highway there can really forget.First it goes up slowly and the translation is vol. I laugh.# It is entered with 224km/h. until it has reached that,ohje. My old Opel was a lot faster although there is no difference from the performance except 24 Ps more but the same engine capacity. Would like to know your experience or your opinion GRuß

  • Mondeo TDCI

    Hello Together My father would like to pick up the latest model from the Mondeo.We had the 130hp diesel with automatic transmission. And there are my questions as well.What about the latest Mondeo model (faislifting) with the diesel.Does the engine still have problems with the injection system?Has that been very dissatisfied with this engine at the beginning?Is that still the case?And what about this engine with chip tuning.Wolf now also offers diesel with A Is the engine good for this chip tuning,or is it not recommended.Cossed with Wolf around the 1000euro and that then has 157hp.Ach,and my last question:Does an automatic transmission come out for the Focus C-Max 2L Diesel?I know,it is already a lot of questions at once.Nevertheless, if you could answer my questions soon.The Scorpio 24V(Cosworth) from my father has got a motor damage.Need a new car? . Thank you very much for your answers MFG

  • Cougar “eats” too much oil

    Hello, so I’ve had my cougar for exactly one year and one thing bothers me animally. The oil consumption is enormously high. I’m actually doing a little refilling about every 2-3 weeks. Does anyone else have the problem ? Use the “favorable” 15W40 at the moment. Should I possibly use other oil ?

  • What’s going on in Saarloui’s work?

    I ordered a new focus on 12.8. I was and will be comforted again and again. One time it was called exhaust gas tests, further quality controls …– and unfortunately still no concrete delivery date. I actually found nothing that would indicate a strike in Saarlouis. By the way, it could not be an individual fate. Guess that others have already torn the patience thread (it’s actually already so far with me – but what do you want to do besides remain annoying) White jem and something more specific, why Ford cuts himself into his own meat? P.S. I have posted this before – unfortunately no echo

  • Escort Smoke Development

    Hi, short question: When the engine of my Ford Escort built in ’91 is cold and you try to start it, comes from the end pot enormous amount of white smoke … After it has reached its operating temperature, everything is OK but until then it also has too little power…
