Carl0s

So, a while ago noticed this: When you brisky acceleration, between ~2000 and ~3000rpm you can clearly feel when the "pull" goes on and off. After ~3k you get nice and steady pull. 

 

I encountered this first time whit the old engine, but didnt bother to give it any attention since i was changing the engine. But, now when it does it whit the new engine, il need to give it a closer eye. 

 

First thing that came in to my mind, is that egr is stuck. When i turn the car off, i can hear the EGR doing the self test loop for few secs. And, ive been driving around the EGR disconnected for the las ~2000km and it did not have any effect. 

 

If you accelerate gently, you wount notice anything out of ordinary, but if you accelerate briskly (like in overtaking) you can clearly feel it. Turbo should be fine, atleast i get steady 1.1bar boost during acceleration. :/

 

 

Any ideas ?

So, finaly... FINALY i got my car working again! Nothing beats the feeling you get when the engine comes alive after a swap

But, it seemed for me that the engine runned bit rich. It was puffing some smoke, MPG was low and the glowplugs were on for 10sec before the light turned off. Well, after test drive i noticed that the Engine temp meter was hangin on the bottom, so i plugged in my OBD reader, and the engine temp sensor gives out constant -40c reading.

The temp gauge was working fine before i swapped the engine, so i think the engine temp sensor in the new engine is different from what i had on mine (like the crankshaft position sensor, glowplugs, diesel plumbing etc). But, i got no idea where the temp sensor is? I allready tried to plugg out the green sensor near the thermostat, but that seemed to be the sensor for the radiator fan. Then i tried to plug out the green sensor, between A/C pump and the Catalytic converted, but that didnt change anything. running out of ideas, and ive got MOT tommorrow at noon :S

So, i started my engine change today. Pulled the old engine out, (came out realy nicely from the bottom) and started to strip all the accessories from the old engine, and install them to the new engine.

When i got to the point where i needed to install the timing belt, things got wierd. I turned the the camshaft to the timing point, and secured it whit the locking pin, but when i started tu turn the crankshaft, it moved a bit, and then hitted wood. Tried to rotate it another direction, and same. you can turn the crankshaft timing mark between ~11 a clock and ~7 a clock whitout any problem, but when it hits 11 or 7, it just hits wood.


What could it be?! I took the oilpan out, cylinder number 2 & 3 move ~2cm from the bottom position upwards, and 1 & 4 are moving downwards so they cant hit the valves... There is not anything else then oilpump connected to the crankshaft atm, but i highly doubt that it would cause it.

so, part one http://www.fordowner...ocking-on-revs/

Long story short, atleast 2 decided to take a hike (havent checked what the intake side looks), so ive got atleast few bended valves, busted exhaust cam, and it looks like i need to replace nearly every cam follower...

So, the only chanse realy is change eather the whole head, or the whole engine.

First of, has anyone ever took an engine of from one of these? Is it easyer to take out whit trans still engaged, or is it easyer first take off the trans, and then the engine? And on witch way does it come out easyer, above or down under?

Second one is about the replacement engine... For some wierd reason, the 1.6 TDCi seems to be made out of pure gold... atleast according to the price. Cant find any 1.6 tdci's under 1600£ when you can get mondeo 2L duratorq for 400£... ?! Witch got me into thinking, how big pain in the !Removed! would it be to put something else in there ? For examle if i go for 1.8 TDCi ?

First of all, sorry for opening another thread nearly on the same issue as the one before. But the forum doesn't allow to edit the thread title.


So, -06 1.6 TDCi knocks, but only when you got over 2700rpm on the engine. it knocked - i changes the oils and it got a lot better, then i washed my engine bay today, and the knocking got back to square one. (oils are driven 400km )

The sound comes in both, acceleration and deceleration (actualy i think it gets worse when your doing engine braking) so i dont think its "diesel knock". And from the inside, it sounds like it coming from the lright side of the engine.

So any ideas? tappers? Cam chain tensioner?

how black should the oil be in these? Since mine is allready pich black, when i compare it to my previous tdci mondeo, it had lot clearer oils eaven after 10 000km. but, in the mondeo the EGR was disabled...
