thesilverfox Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I think back in 1998 ford either didn't or had only just started using VVT. It wasn't in the Fiesta. The Puma had VVT I think in the 1.7, I could be wrong but I think this is probably true. The 1.7 and 1.9 Puma engines did indeed have VVT; the 1.25, 1.4 and 1.6 Fiesta engines were simply DOHC non-variable. Did pull better from 3.5k upwards, but no VVT. Good engines regardless - more or less unchanged since 1996 ... can't argue with that, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael P Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 It's all tres, tres bon. It makes going to work nice just so i have a reason to drive it, but i am very, very sure this won't last long. Once i get the dents and bad paint sorted it will look rather nice!

thesilverfox Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 As long as they get regular fluid changes (mainly oil) and the various filters, you'll be laughing. The air filter takes about 30 seconds to change, as Ford didn't put it in some ridiculous place on that model (hooray!). oil and filter every 6 months min is about £25 cash - can't moan. Your good luck and happiness is rubbing off here though - major service for my Focus, and the only quibble Ford found was that 'the rear wiper smears a little bit'. Happy with that! In 23k miles, the car has cost me diesel and two front tyres recently, because of a puncture. Not bad :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
