Colin Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Guys, finally found a decent 1.6 SI for sale locally and im looking to buy it, 1997. Any advice on the 1.6 Zetec engines and what to watch for? Know the usual Escort issues like back of my hand, but is there any 1.6 Engine issues to watch for specificity. Ta folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchkev Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 same as the 1.8 tbh, check the MAF, there may be issues with the ISCV, TPS if its a crap/lumpy idle, check plugs, leads etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Alright Colin, If you know the usual escort problems then there won't be anything else to expect from the 1.6 Zetec! What you need to look for is Rust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
