I have a 2001 PUMA 1.6 ZETEC SE which needs a new engine and would like to know if the Focus zetec se engine is the same as there dosen`t seem to be any puma engines around? The puma has the engine code L1W whereas most of the focus engines seem to be the code fydb although they look identical. Does anyone know if the focus engine will work please help!!!

 

Same engine

HTH

 

puma's never came with a 1.6se.

They were 1.4 or 1.7 vvt.

 

Yeh, they will be the same engines. But you might aswell go for the 1.7. Prob cost not much more but will have an extra 20bhp out of the box.

 

Sorry mate but your wrong

The runout pumas were available as a 1.6se

 

No they did do a 1.6 towards the end

 

Or you could stick on a decent exhaust and retime the the exhaust cam and make more power

 

Thanks for clearing that up, learn somthing new every day.

 

no worries, its actually the best one imo, cheapness insurance for what it is!

 

thanks for your help!!

 

i now someone whos got a 1.7 puma they need rid off they want around 400 for it

 

But as the 1.6 doesn't have VCT, the ECU won't know what to do with it. You'll need wiring, ECU, PATS keys etc. Not a simple job.

 

A think i`ll just stick with the 1600 I can`t be bothered with all the hassle of changin ecu`s lock`s wiring etc etc
