Simple question really.....

If not who does ?

 

no, its a french company iirc - i will remember theyre name any minute .......................

 

As above they farm the job out.

 

renault...oh papa

 

So there is zero chance of a focus cosworth LOL

 

Is it not Ricardo who build the engines?

 

Doesnt look like it Dingers.

I dont think we will ever see the Cosworth badge grace another Ford tailgate again.

 

At 28grand for a current service on a WRC engine it would make it worth more than the focus cosworth was worth !!

Well they dont actually service them they just give you another

 

This is who builds the Focus WRC engine!

They have done since 2006 and they are a French Company.

The intitial build is buy Pipo and the rebuilds are done in house at M-Sport!

Ah Pipo

 

thats why its quite reliable aswell

 

we was at m sport late last year and the tour bloke said we build the engines in house

matt

 

Yep, thats what we were told a few weeks ago when we were there.

 

Correct, they have in house facilities now

 

Mountune made the engine in 1999,

Then Cosworth made it for 2000, 2001 and 2002

Then a French company PEPO took over, and still supply the engines.

Customer engines are re-built in house at M-sport.

 

but there is a much cheaper option now.

fraser.hows the scooby going?

will it be ready for last tuesday mate?

 

french???????

are thet mad

 

seems like the french knows how to build an engine. was over at the jim clark an a irish boy had some people from the factory that build his engine lookin after him

 

they have some very good machining places in france with incredible tolerances

 

because Renault/Pug really made a mess of there early turbo efforts didn't they...

 

Theres no chance of a cosworth anything again. They are gone... bought up by mahle i belive.

JAmes.

 

They're not gone. Half of the business is now Mahle Powertrain, the other was bought by yanks (cart team owners i believe?), and now they produce a bunch of aftermarket parts for jap cars.. but also the YB!! (eg, the aluminium YB block that i've yet to see in person)..

 

and a load of duratec parts

 

Pipo is very well known, they made WRC engines for Peugeot too, with the 206WRC for example, which was quite a sucessful car. But yes, why the hell did Ford let Cosworth...

 

because they wanted to win the world championship

cosworth are good but not the best

 

Wasn't Ford's lack of funding holding Cosworth back? I seem to remember them complaining a bit about that while they were owned by Ford.
