Nick Barnes Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have an Escort 1.6i Cabriolet first registered 12/07/2000 in Holland silly question where do I find out what it is ? some checks when going to some spares sites where you put in the registration No. say Escort XR3i ? some say Escort Pacific ? even seen GLX ? and Flair ? Its obviously a European car built in 2000 I presume ? it has Leather interior / A/C / ABS / Front Fog Lights / Heated Front Screen , Rear Screen and mirrors, Suspension brace in the engine compartment, What else can I say Registration No is 38 - FV - HH maybe this does not help as its not registered in the UK. ? I can get the VIN No. and engine No. if needed but is there a register that tells me exactly what it is ? It has a Zetec 16v engine Fuel injected engine but is it a CFi ? EFi ? or SEFi ? Where do I find out what model and Engine I have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Barnes Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) When I do a number plate check here in Holland it lists it as a Ford Cabriolet 1.6i 66KW / 89 PK it also says Variant L1H1 ? When I check this on google " Ford variant L1H1 " it shows up as a transit van ? Edited January 18, 2017 by Nick Barnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Barnes Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I had no replies to this but my main question is ? Does 2 PK ( HP) matter ? If I type in my Reg. No. into a Dutch parts website, depending on which site I use ? it gives me 3 different engine specs ? 1: Ford Escort Cabriolet ( ALL) 1.6 16V XR3i 66 kW 88 Pk 1995 - 2000 2: Ford Escort Cabriolet ( ALL) 1.6 16V XR3i 68 kW 90 Pk 1995 - 2000 3: Ford Escort Cabriolet ( ALL) 1.6 16V Pacific Kat. 66 kW Is there a difference ? are there 3 different engines ? what parts are different ? Looking at the Haynes Manual I have got the 1.6 litre Zetec - E SEFi fuel injected engine The car has an Escort & 16V badge on the rear but no XR3i ?

Guest username Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Not sure on the later models, but on the Mk5 the XR3i only had the 1.8 engine as I recall. Given that it's a very late model and with high spec I'd suggest either Pacific or Flair & that it may have been a "run-out" model, built to use up the remaining stock of parts hence the smaller engine/high spec interior possibly? Only a guess, but a semi-educated one based on what car makers tend to do at the end of a model's production run. I'd hazard another guess that all "Pacific" models would be a green/blue colour similar to this pic (actually, this is from a Dutch website, it's not your actual car is it???) http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=escort+pacific&view=detailv2&&id=EB408283033AA7654BAC286A50D71F0EFF222516&selectedIndex=15&ccid=ocxVtss6&simid=608004681392065380&thid=OIP.Ma1cc55b6cb3a1f8c882b652a3f72eb2do0&ajaxhist=0 Edited January 31, 2017 by username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a Zetec 1.6 16 valve stamped on the engine So I presume its also 90 PS ( unless that airbox cover been changed at some point lol. ) So If asked I will order parts for the 90 PS ( HP ) version Your explanation sounds good though all the Ghia / XR3i models I think as you say were 1.8 litre for the later years so not sure if the " extras " on my car leather etc were just ordered by the original buyer when they ordered it ?

Stephen Bearded Minky Hill Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I thought cfi was single point injection like a carb but with an injector in. Usually on smaller engines. Efi is the most common (electronic fuel injection) and the sefi (sequential electronic fuel injection) was used on some sierr dohc engines and some pinto engines.

Thre only thing I have to base my judgement on what engine it is is, whats stamped on the rocker cover ( Zetec 16v ) and the pictures of the various engine bays in the Haynes Service and Repair manual ? mine is exactly the same as the 1.6 litre Zetec - E SEFi fuel injection engine, except the battery is on the left side ( looking from the front ) but my car is left hand drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
