seen that one m8

will be mega bids on that as the time runs out.

will most tuners know where to get them done. if they tell me that is

 

 

where did you manage to get that.

spill

 

Second that

 

mate i did it myself, you can get alot of the parts from Ford still, and i spent ages prepping the body before painting it with 'detail grey' spray paint from www.frost.co.uk .

Well chuffed with how it came out






if you need any part numbers for the bits in the photo then by all means ask

Danny

 

is that the full kit you have there.

like to basicaly service to full thing and change all the seals etc

what price are we talking from ford if you dont mind

 

I think that little lot in the pics came to about £40. My unit was working fine, but im going bufty so it had to look the part and also becuase of the way a standard breather operates, it pumps all the crap back into the metering unit, so i split it apart, cleaned all inside,(there was alot of crap in there) popped the fuel distributor off, replaced the seal, lubricated the pin that comes down from the fuel distributor, then popped it all back together with new bolts, banjo's etc.
If yours is faulty, then obviously it needs splitting apart anyway to find out why its faulty. The answer may be obvious like a broken spring, so you could then repair it yourself for a fairly cheap price i would say. They are very very simple inside
hope thats of some help, technically a rebuild more then reconditioned i suppose

thanks mate

yeah the flap in mine isint sitting rite up where it should its like a 2mm gap and when i touch the pedal it ties to cut out because the flap is then closing rite up and opening again.

think that could be a spring on whatever keeps it up where it should

 

part numbers...



Absolutely useless with the metering unit, that waht you see if only 1/3 of the job, the metering unit is what you need - these are the killer!!!

 

same as that please.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if that metering head on eBay was my old one, i sold a knackered one to that guy just before xmas

 

Oh and Lincolndanny you are a tart

Very nice

 

me too, if you could list all the part numbers for the bits you bought to rebuild it that would be great

 

Put it in the bin and go EFi

 

Seconded

 

Please, send me some of that £1300 odd I'll need to do it proper;y then...

 

£1300?????

What are you planning to fit Omex or something?

 

If you can do it cheaper, come get the car lol

 

U can do OFAB for about £200 tops, standard anyway.......

 

Hi guys, have just got in from working on the car and im knackered, i will hunt out all the part numbers for the bits i used sometime this weekend and post them up

 

Great stuff- much appreciated as i have a metering head that needs a decent rebuild

 

Ford won't do any work on the metering heads and there's only a handfull of Bosch-Service-Stations in Germany who dare to open them...
According to Bosch there's no way to repair them just send them in and get a nearly new one back. But this costs as much as a new one...

If you dare to open it yourself, you'll get all gaskets and other parts at a Bosch-Service-Station...

But it's better if you've got two ore more metering heads to open, because most of the people won't be able to put it together again

 

I've helped someone strip a metering head, they're not as bad inside as everyone makes out, and we got it back together.....

 

Lucky boys

Did you use new gaskets and service parts?

 

Did we fuck

As long as you don't adjust the 4 pressure regulating screws inside you can't really do a lot wrong.....

 

They should control the fuel amount for every cylinder, iirr the pressure is regulated by only one screw...

 

Indeed, its like 4 seperate internal regulators to balance the fuelling for each cylinder
