ive been looking at mk6 escort vans lately, what size engines did they come with from factory? cos it seems to be there all 1.8 or 1.8 turbo
cheers for any advice and sorry for the dumb question

 

Think they did a 1.4 petrol as well.the turbos your best bet really as they shift along and are good on derv.

 

cheers for that mate

 

i have ony ever heard of the 1.8 deisel and 1.8td

 

The vast majority are 1.8 and 1.8 turbo diesel. I had a non-turbo one, excellent workhorse and surprisingly comfortable (if rather noisy). Very economical though. The only problem I ever had with mine was with the back brakes sticking when it had been stood.

 

A 1.4 ? REALLY , dont think so , maybe the earlier ones bu tnot the mk6 shape

 

Aye there is 1.4 cvh engines, seen ex police dog vans in petrol version

And yes you can get them in a mrk6 shape

1.8d and 1.8TD

Ive had 4 Escort vans, TD is ok for what they are and you deffo feel the advantage on steep hills where mine kept its speed up no problem unlike the normal 1.8d But theres one thing with them it doesnt matter if its empty or full to the roof with shite they do the same speed lol

Tough wagon as long as the cambelts changed on a regular basis

 

Heres a 1.4 mk6
