Shouldn't tap just because its old, it may be that the engine is worn however and no adjustment etc is going to solve that.
As Brigsy said, only straight swap will be a like for like D4F, however if you can get a scrappy with a 1.2 TCE that would be my choice, get the engine, box, engine wiring...
I daily drive a MK2 ph1 1.2 16v sport and one of the young lads at work with a fiesta with wind deflectors and stage 6 exhaust didn't know what It was 😂😂 turns out he wasnt even born by the time it was out of warranty, makes me feel old.
maybe this is finally the problem to force me to buy a clip clone, I've always got by without!
The car wont start if I remove the chip from the key and try and start it (I was curious at de immobilised ecu!)
Im sure someone will have been here before!
Got a MK2 PH1 1.2 16v, remote central locking has never worked, both red lights on the keys work fine when pressed, new battery's fitted. Car locks and unlocks fine with the button inside the car and the RAID system.
Where is the receiver situated...
currently driving about like this as 2 months later KTEC haven't been able to sort out the missing tailpipe trims yet - Nightmare
Its had an ABS light, a rear wheel with no speed reading, replaced the sensor, still the same so onto the rear discs it was as assume the bearing pickup is gone...
As above, if I don't know the oil history or its not been great then I change the dephaser, if its good and been done before I wouldn't bother unless its noisy
really need plugged into a diagnostics machine to see what's going on when the boost drops off. Sounds like its probably a boost pressure sensor or detecting a missfire and cutting power.
Had a recent service with sparkplugs to rule them out?
they hold daft cash for a shite banger, ive been looking for a white one with black plastic bumpers for ages as ive got an F4R 830 sitting that would fit straight in!
could get that repaired but for me if your changing it, Akra or nothing! they sound fantastic, can cruise around town and it doesn't really sound any louder than standard if you don't want it to, then when you open it up it just sounds brilliant! Fit and finish is perfect, makes the car for me!
Car on stands, drain box oil, remove both shafts, disconnect ball joints, remove steering rack to subframe mounts, remove lower dogbone mount, remove subframe (4x bolts) you will need to get a ring spanner into the captive nuts as they will just spin.
Support engine, remove battery/air box etc...
Swapped from PS4 to PS5 on my Wife's motor, I thought the steering felt immediately sharper on turn in just at brisk road speeds! maybe a stiffer side wall? I've not driven the car hard to tell any difference other than that but will be swapping my 197 to them when the 4's are worn
A lot less than my mate, i showed him your invoice you posted the other day and he nearly had a heart attack, straight on the phone to arnie clark customer services :ROFLMAO:
yeah generally those ones will just read the engine ECU, and even then they can be a bit of a hit or a miss with what they read, usually handy for diagnosing and clearing basic stuff though, still a handy tool to have in the box!
