Engine Cover

[AndeeeH]

Should the 1.6 Tdci fitted to Focus and C-Max have an engine cover to hide the rocker covers, injectors etc?

(No wise-cracks about the bonnet please <_<) Thanks, Andy :)

Yes. And it will be a lot quieter with it fitted as well. Edited June 27, 2008 by Willie Krashitt

Do you know for a fact they should have an engine cover on as alot of the early ones i have worked on dont. It looks like there might have been a cover there as it has everything needed but have delt with alot of these where the plug holes get full of water and corrode the plugs where the centre ceramic has blown out even had some where the metal has corroded away have sent some back to the dealers as the plugs are covered for 18000 miles and double checked with them that they would honor the warranty and do for free which they did

sounds like maybe fords have done a mod and actually put a cover on now to stop the problems and save them some money on warranty work.

Reminds me of the mk3 escorts where rain water running off the screen use to fill up the battery causing it to over flow, battery acid would spill onto the carrier and corrode it, had a few batterys end up on the passengers feet. Fords mod was to place a plastic cover over the top of the battery,

simple but effective

Sounds like you're talking about spark plugs in which case this doesn't apply to the 1.6 TDCi engine in the original question, or are you referring to the glow plugs?

oops your right i need to read and digest properly

but same rules apply fords might not have done the cover on the earlier ones but then started doing them for whatever reason
