Another Fiesta ST, now with added Audi S5
Discussion
Annual oil change tonight. Tried using an oil extractor for the first time, was ok but knew there must be about 300-400ml left which was confirmed when I took the sump plug out. Doubt I’ll bother with it again.
Oil filter was the usual arse to get off as well.
All done though, and once again it hasn’t used a drop of oil over the year.

Going to have to fork out for a timing belt change very soon….

Fiesta is dead.
Was out on Saturday & noticed a slight misfire which got worse as I nursed it home. Assumed I’d be shelling out £50 for a new coil pack. Oh how wrong I was….
Found a cracked spark plug & the garage confirmed that all cylinders were down on compression, but cylinder 4 was down to 90psi, half of what it should be.
Gutted doesn’t come close.

Ahh sorry to hear that any idea what the cause was and what happened as they are tough little engines .Was out on Saturday & noticed a slight misfire which got worse as I nursed it home. Assumed I’d be shelling out £50 for a new coil pack. Oh how wrong I was….

Is it not worth you putting another engine in it? I have a 16 plate ST2 and I’d really struggle to replace it with something I enjoyed as much

I do get you, but the car is needed as a daily so can't really be off the road for a long period, plus I'd be worried that the replacement engine would have an unknown history, etc.Is it not worth you putting another engine in it?
