caled Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Whats the issue with the TDCi injectors and fuel pumps? I take it its not as simple as just pulling them out and replacing? If only! lol, the injectors are coded to the ecu, and are about £250 each from ford plus the price of coding them, also the pump is about £500 just to get it refurbed, it soon adds up plus the £500 for a clutch and flywheel when that goes EACH?! Jesus! What the hell are they made of? Excuse the ignorance - but why are they coded to the ECU in the first place? And £500 to refurb a fuel pump? What ever happened to fords being easy and cheap to fix? Bring back the escorts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye The injectors in common rail cars are very complicated and are designed to run to such fine tolerances......From what i understand each injector has its own code and the ecu needs to be told what injector it where they are all different :SNobody knows enough about them:( Dan from fast ford has had nothing but problems with his.....untill he took it to Delphi(who make the fuel system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Pft - and you all take the pee out of Rovers... Im with Tez on this one, Id be looking around at scrappies to see if there are any mondies that you could grab the fuel rail/injectors/ecu from - can you even teach the alarm fobs to the ECU or do you need Ford to do them, too?

I would be if i wasnt on the Isle of Wight.....our scrappies over here only have things like escorts and mk2 mondeos in I shouldnt have any problems getting the injectors coded to the car, i have a few contacts Il see next month when there isnt so many bank holidays in the way lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicksy Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Well ive got a bit of an update with the focus Last week the bloody clutch slave cylinder/release bearing went pop and i lost my clutch (N)So i hunted about and got a new clutch, pressure plate and slave and set about fitting it, while the box was out i also stuck a new DMF in there so its like new again While i was waiting for the clutch bits to turn up i had a go at heat wrapping the exhaust manifold and im pretty happy with the outcome http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/tomhicks1/170/DSC00641.jpg http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/tomhicks1/170/DSC00633.jpg I also had a little play about with the brakes i bought some 320mm ASBO brakes for the mondeo just before it broke so i thought i would take them back off and make them fit the 4 stud focus http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/tomhicks1/170/DSC00651.jpg And ive blacked the headlights too http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/tomhicks1/170/DSC00654.jpg http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/tomhicks1/170/DSC00653.jpg I do miss the mondeo but im really happy with the focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
