Hello municipality, since yesterday I have a problem with the air conditioning on my 97er 2,3l Scorpio. It does not start, i.e. the switch lamp works as if everything is ok, but de facto the climate compressor does not start, i.e. there is nothing to hear that it turns on. At the same time I have for a long time the problem, that my temperature indicator rises perhaps briefly to the middle, but otherwise nevertheless on normal journey – no matter whether on the highway m The average to high speed or in the city or on the country road – only at the lower end of the scale dumps in front, sometimes just above the blue range goes up to the lower part of the white normal marking, but falls again after about 10 seconds. After a short service life, e.g. with a slightly longer red phase at the traffic light, the temperature indicator rises up to the middle.It doesn’t matter whether the climate is switched on or not. rlüfter usually run very easily with the switched on climate, but switch off as soon as the climate is switched off. At summer temperatures it takes of course accordingly longer to switch off – as far as everything is normal, I think. I had already suspected the temperature sensor, but now, where the air conditioning suddenly seems to no longer work – air conditioning service was made only a few weeks ago, so it can not be – I also think about the Water pump, after all, the car is now almost 12 years old and has run almost 173000. Know Wapu problems actually only in the sense that the temperature suddenly shoots up and can hardly be gotten down again, had the problem with my Scorpio I from 1988. That took weeks until they found the error at that time, because it always appeared sporadic. However, it was – as already mentioned, too hot. The problem is not now. Maybe you know jem and from you advice and can give me a hint where that might be. – I am grateful for any reasonable suggestion. Greeting Lutz

Hello! Can someone tell me where to find the color code for my Scorpio? Would be great if someone could give me a few tips. Besides, I would have a question in this context: I always felt a bit strange that the name for my vehicle color in the vehicle license is indicated with “grey”. As the attached photo shows quite well, you need a little more imagination to see a “grey” in the color of my Scorpio. Now I was told by j Is that really so? Don’t you need to note this in the papers when you repainted your car? And are there possibly places where I can find a repainting without doubt? Things where the paint could still be so perfect, but which always reveal when a car has been repainted? For example, I’ve already solved a few sealing rubbers and looked after them. aut, if something is to be noticed. So far, however, nothing of a subsequent painting was to be discovered. But maybe someone knows, in which one can always recognize this. For help I would be very grateful!

Hello dear Ford driver, can one tell me if the gearbox on the picture is an automatic or manual transmission? Need an automatic transmission for my Scorpio II (Bj. 97) 2.3 16V. Hope you can help me. Greetings!

Hello, I bought a 97 Ford Scorpio 2.3 tournament Ghia automatic on the weekend. The car ran 204.000 KM and the engine runs super quiet and clean, transmission switches clean, everything wonderful! We are not driving much more, much short distance, but space for children and prams had to be already, therefore the ship, which was also super cheap in somewhat maintenance condition. Now I noticed that the compensation tank for the cooling water empties very quickly, a I have not been able to see that the oil level is not too high. Has anyone had an idea or experience? Could it be the cylinder head gasket? But then the water would get into the oil cycle and the oil would be watery and the oil level too high or not? Both not the case! Please ask for your tips, thank you! Oh yes, and if someone has experience how expensive the fun (in the free screwdriver) is, I am grateful for your answers! Many greetings from Dortmund
