Fester1.25 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi All, First post on here as i have just got a fiesta 1.25 DHF 2001 (Facelift Ver), Its in a bad way at the mo as the cambelt has spun and I've had to get a new engine! I got the engine a few days ago and tomorrow im going to start to put the alternator, A/C and all that I can get onto the engine so it doesnt take as long to put in. I am waiting on a friend to help me put it into the car... so once he gets some free time he is gonna pop round and give me a hand. So to the point I am looking for torque settings for basically all the things i need to do the job successfully i need to take the bottom end off the gearbox and refit everything to the car again.... never worked on a ford so it will be a learning exp! I hope it all goes without a hitch!!! If anyone has any links for service manuals/procedurs I would be greatfull as i like to have pics to refer to Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fester1.25 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 He-He!I thought I might as well ask on here as theres always someone with pdf versions of the propper service manuals from Ford on sites like this! Been out and got a haynes manual, but only after snaping a bolt in the A/C Pump and snaping the plastic end of the fuel rail! The plastic bit is only a fiver from the dealers but will have to be ordered in, the bolt wont be much hassle just a scrapper job.... does anyone know other engines that will have an A/C bolt the same size or is it just my engine specific? Oh and a 8mm bolt at the bottom of the intake has rounded too... ne one got ne good tips for extracting a rounded bolt? Im just looking on Halfords now to find something suitable to remove it. I remember sommet called a gator grip that was like a socket that has a load of spring loaded pins inside it and they are supposed to remove odd shaped/sheared bolts. Are they still about?
