Myself, James and his dad will be at fiesta in the park. Seeing as its 10 minutes from us it's ideal.

It wont let me send a photo, my camera pixels is to high lol

There's no strange smells in the coolant tank or in the rocker cover.
Instead of using my original head I bought a replacement.
The fan doesn't get chance to come on before it over pressures. The temp gauge reads between the "r & m" on the dash when it happens.
I'll try send a photo

Evening guys, played around with the car again yesterday. Flushed out the heater matrix (in case that had anything to do with it) but no joys, still the same. Lasted 25 mins with the fan off this time.
I have managed to get hold of a sniffer kit to see if there’s any exhaust gases getting through. Hopefully try that tomorrow after work.
would love to try that buddy but the cars got no ticket or test

Alright bud,
Its a efi Cvh turbo from a fiesta rs running a stage 2 t3 turbo.
Aluminium rad, beige injectors, 195 superchip.
Yeah rad was flushed through and bottom hose was warm.

Evening all, need to pick your brains
So as most of you have seen the last few years I’ve been having issues with keeping my coolant in my engine bay
but i’m Starting to run out of ideas now.
So after at lot of diagnosing and running tests I found that the only thing I could find was my head pressures were all over the place. I decided on replacing the head, head skimmed and valves lapped lovely jubbly.
New timing belt, tensioner, head gasket, water pump etc etc.
So today I was doing the last finishing bits before I could run it, head pressures are 140 on all four cylinders.
Started the car and after 5-10 mins coolant was over flowing out of the expansion tank but the fan didn’t cut in once, so checked all the pipes and topped up again with coolant and started it up but this time I switched the fan on manually. It sat there running for 25 -30 mins not a problem, I was going round with a laser temp gauge checking pipe temps and they were all between 50 - 70’c and thermostat was around 88 ish. I thought sweet it’s all ok, I then switched the fan off and with 3 mins coolant was flowing out the expansion tank again.
As soon as I switched it off I checked the coolant temp in the tank and it was around 40 -50’c. It’s not really boiling over it just seems to find this pressure when the fan was switched off.
I’m just wondering if you guys had any ideas or came across this as I’m at a loose end

Afternoon all, am I too late to get tickets?
Really gotta check this forum more often
-
Booked and paid for
-
Yeah you too bud, only met dwayne so far from the club. So be good to put faces to names 😃
-
Ok will do, thank you bud

I have managed to speak to George Watson at fiesta in the park and his reply was:
"hi lee get your club organiser to send over the payment for the extra ticket
cheers"
So who do I need to send payment too?
Wish I'd done this sooner now hahahaha
-
Yeah I went last year and it was a good turn out, Plus side its five minutes away from me
-
ok i'll have a chat with the organisers to see if they can get me a ticket. Kinda thought I was a tad late lol
-
I know its late but is there a ticket left?
-
Cheers for the info guys, think I'll fit it the same way on mine this coming weekend
-
I've brought a rs spoiler for my mk4 and it came with the boot as well. The only issue I have is the previous owner of the boot spoiler had drilled through the edge of the boot lid and self tapered the spoiler to it. Is this the correct way of fitting this? If anyone has a photo to show how there fitted properly this would be great.
Thanks in advance

Okay cool, I'll check out about the cossie pump
-
Thanks for the info, I have spoken to the fella with the engine and he said he only ran 1 bar ( very rarely went above) it has 701's and I have the ofab ecu and 195 superchip. The only thing we couldn't work out and I'm still scratching my head ( might be the reason of lack of hair Hahaha) on weather I need to run a bigger fuel pump or will the original be okay.
-
Excellent, cheers for the info. The engine has 701 beige injectors and has 183bhp (dyno to prove) and I have a stage 2 t3 turbo, I think it has a .48 housing. So I take it I'd need a ofab ecu.

Hi all, I have a G reg xr3i efi and have now been offered a fiesta turbo efi engine. Now I am very new to this and understand that I'll need various item to complete the transplant but I'm now stuck with reagrds to the ecu and wiring. The current owner of the engine is running a ofab ecu, so i take it ill need one of those or can it run my current ecu? Now about the wiring loom. Can I use the current wiring loom or do I need to change it? Plus would it need to be from a escort turbo or can I use a fiesta loom?
Look forward to your answers.
Thanks in advance.
Help!!!! Steering bush/bearing
in Discussion & Chat
Posted
Evening people, hope everyone is well.
I've got a slight issue with the steering bush/bearing on the mk4. It's disintegrated lol. Spoke to tc Harrison's near me and they've informed me there no longer available and not even made anymore. And ebay want nearly £20 more than what ford were selling them for. (Normally wouldn't be an issue but I'd like a few for spares)
The part number is 6187451 or 87ab-3k538-aa.
Anybody know where these would still be available.
Any ideas would be fab.
Picture to show what it looks like.
Regards
Lee
