Using Coolant

03 December 2012 - 03:15 PM

Hello,

I was checking my KA the other day and noticed the coolant was down to the min mark, I had topped it up to the max mark a couple of weeks before.

The car is used every day (Mon - Fri) so if there was a problem I would expect to see the level go down quicker. I topped it up and run the engine and did not see any loss under the car and it seemed to stay at the max level.

Anyone have any ideas as to what could be happening?

Many Thanks,

Kevin

Ignition Coils & Spark Plugs

16 October 2012 - 11:09 AM

Hello,

While checking my 1.3 KA I gave a tug at ignition coil 1 (I thought that it may be the cuase of a rattle) and to my surprise the ignition coil came out with the metal tube it goes into still attahced.

Is this normal? Should the tube the igntion coil goes down be welded\fixed to the engine? I am wondering if there is the potential for it to pop off if it is only pushed on.

Many Thanks for your thoughts.

Ford Ka - Blowing Hot Air

03 July 2012 - 10:17 AM

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help, my 06 reg KA has been blowing out hot air no matter what temperature the temperature dial is set to. It is a nightmare on the rare hot days we have :-)

I have used a multimeter on the plug going to the heater control valve, I got different readings depending on where the dial was set to, including a pulsing for mid-range. This prompted me to go out and get a new OEM heater control valve thinking that was the part that was faulty. I have replaced the valve and once the engine heats up I am still getting hot air no matter where the dial is.

Can anyone shed any light on where the problem may be?

Radio Removal

30 May 2012 - 08:28 AM

Hello,

I have a Ford KA 06 reg and am trying to remove the radio so I can take the trim off to replace the dashboard illumination light. I have a DIN tool purchased from Halfords a little while back and although it fits in the holes does not seem to stick in place when trying to pull the radio out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how else I can remove the radio or if I need to push the rods to one side etc?

Many Thanks,

Kevin
