Fiesta RS Turbo engine problems
Hi all,
Iv just bought a Fiesta RS turbo,
1.6
Stage 3 head
Piper cam and pulley
T3
Beige injectors
Mahle pistons
Grs Intercooler and radiator
201 bhp at 15si
However im having a few small problems with it,
Wondering if anyone can help,
Engine was rebuilt 3000 miles ago.
When i start it up there is no smoke wot so ever and runs great, but when it starts to warm up the radiator gets hot very quickly, i think this is due to having no thermostat? which im getting this week.
Steam comes out of the breather filter off the rocker box.
The engines starts to run lumpy and sometimes cuts out.
Also when the head gasket was last changed i dont think he has flushed the oil and coolant properly as there is mayo in the breather.
I think the head gasket is ok, as its a felpro one and only been on for 3000 miles, its not over heating and there is no mayo in the sump.
The radiator fans are on a manual switch, the lad said he was sick of buying relays so just put it on manual, should i get the fans wired back up to a relay?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Michael.
