Ok guys new to the forums i have a non ac fiesta mk4 that i doing a puma engine swap on but as i got the whole puma for 60 quid im going to do a engine swap,the problem i have is the puma engine and wiring loom has air con,how easy is it to remove the air con pump from the puma?i know as much as ill need a shorter belt when i remove the air con pump what else will be needed to be removed from the engine,and could i use the belt off my non air con fiesta or how do i find a non air con puma belt as ive been looking for a non ac puma to use the number plate to get the belt from euro car parts but had no luck hopefully someone on here can help cheers, Ash

You should be able to get hold of a no AC belt for a puma, give ford parts a ring


Anything else you want help with?

what do i do with the plugs for the air con wiring as my fiesta dont have air con can i just leave them unplugged or will that give me engine management lights ect?

Talking to a friend who has gone the swap provided your fiesta had PAS too then the belt is the same so you shouldn't have any trouble.

Leave it all unplugged it'll be fine.


And then get some pics up! (mk4 fiesta owner here too)

Awsome thanks bud,dont worry the engines should be out of both cars and the project should be started the weekend ill post pics along the way if the weather is ok ☺️

Good stuff! If you get stuck you can check out the zetec s owners website, there dozens of threads on puma transplants on there, them and fordguides.

hey my fiesta is mk4 1998 with dialouge clocks,and the puma is year 2000 with digital clocks i think will i have problems with the loom? as ive herd something about 2 pin and 3 pin looms,or would it be easyer to just take the whole loom out of the puma.

I'm not too sure about that! I will go and have a look and see if I can find out for you.

I've had a look online, and I think you will need to change for an analogue loom, not 100% It does make for a more complicated conversion.

Ok no problem.

What was the answer with the loom in the end, was it easy to sort? I'm about to do the same swap

GreekO

Well everything went smooth but as my clocks where analog and not digital i had to use the puma interior loom aswell the only thing i had to do was fabricate the wiring for the rear lights as the puma has three plug for each bulb on both rear lights and remove the horn from the loom as the alarm kept going off didnt make any problems to the starting so just removed the horn part of the alarm so dont here the noise,tbh its alot of work so id make sure you have the same engine loom that matches the fiesta you have so if your fiesta has digiatal clocks then use a digital puma enigine

Thanks mate, appreciate the reply

Keep it simple for yourself, if your car is analogue, get an analogue puma for the conversion.

Or just find a fiesta with digital clocks breakin and buy the interior loom for about 30-40 quid saved my friend alot of time doing that i should of done that tbf but my budget was tight
