Focus 1.8 Eco petrol Ghia 2003
Discussion
Hi All.
I bought this car and changed valves,guides, shims, head gasket , timing belt etc. Filled with correct oil and all seemed fine, except a little rattley mouse ran around inside rocker cover. No other problems.... Then..
Took all off again and drained oil, found no fault, so all back on and only had 10 / 30 mineral oil.
Started to take to MOT and my god, as I drove it seemed like 1 or 2 or 3 pistons were missing, or head gasket gone. All plugs were changed again... and now rocker cover off to start again,
it owes me almost £3000. it is 03 in black, new heated screen at my own expense. I bought a full engine that is cleaned and in bits on a pallet.
I wondered if combination of a sudden Coil breakdown and wrong oil may be the issue. It has not moved in over 2 years. Any one please help me. regards Derek 01420 563327
