St170 Problems!! PLEASE HELP :(

leegoodlad · 29-01-2010, 05:17 PM

HI

Today i crashed my car and my pride and joy in the snow

which is an ST170 and luckly i got away with minimal damage, the worst problem is my sump is now leaking.

Can someone help by telling me what sump pans will fit the st170? for example would a 2.0l sump pans fit the s170? Or even any other sump pans?

Thanks

Lee

Any 'Blacktop' (6/98>) Zetec-E sump will fit, including a Mondeo one.....However....

With a genuine Ford Mondeo one, the gap the cat fits into is a bit narrower, so you might need to tune the heatshield. Also its marginally shallower so you need to use a Mondeo oil pick up pipe.

There are quite a few suppliers of 'pattern' Focus sumps now. The price is 1/3 to 1/2 the Ford price.

Unlucky mate, the main difference between the regular 2.0 Focus and the ST is the head, so the sump should fit fine

if its cracked get some jb weld or chemical metal it works fine

For raplcing the sump will i just have to drop the exhaust out of the way? or is there more too it? Im not very cargenic, but after xmas im skint so going to have to do it my self.

Yeah drop the exhaust down a bit, drain out the oil, then undo the bolts and it should come off, might need a tap to get it to shift. Don't forget to clean up the mating surfaces and fit a new gasket when you refit it!

Think you'll need to drop the cat/decat completely from my experience.

Unfortunately it will take a bit more than a tap to break the pan from the lower crankcase. There's no gasket, it's sealed with silicon gasket compound. Usually its a Stanley knife -> careful chisel use to break the joint.....
