hi to all . ive got a 1.8 zetec in to my mk4 ive put the mk7 rad in but not happy with the way it fits any one got any better ideas on wich rad would fit better ie off a standard car thanks

 

std mk4 rad

 

There is no Mk7 so not sure how you managed that one

Seriously a stock Mk4 rad should be quite up to the job at hand

 

i got the escort mk 7 gti rad in . ill have another look at the mk4 rad .thank s any way

 

i had a mk4 rad in mine when i put a 1.8 zetec in my xr3i worked perfectly fine

 

sound mate ill get it sorted

 

There's no such thing as a MK7 escort..it's a MK6..but as said above MK4 rads fine..

 

ok mate ull have to google ur no such thing as a mk7 escort

 

well there are people who believe in the MK7 escort ever thought google could be wrong..it's not perfect.. but Ford only made upto a MK6 escort..find out from ford..they never made a MK7 escort..

 

as already said there isnt a mk7.

people get confused because of the mk5a and the mk5

 

ok sound i know now

 

I would love to have the money to buy a mk4 escort and put a zetec in it. I bet there a fun little car.

 

Got a MK4 1600 rad in my MK2 Orion and works perfect

 

I run an XR3i mk4 one and its fine too

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm sarcasm I fear! lol

 

thanks for the comments and the sarcasam lol

 

i dont think Glen was being sarcastic in his comment lads.

And they are a proper fun wee car with the right bits

 

just been sortin the cvh rad out . n got the mk 6 one bk out . it was done with the mk 6 one because the car was a 1.3 so tha rad was scrap n didnt have a cvh rad to hand when the engine was changed over . aloso i was looking on a page showing how to sort the heater gadge out on the clocks . dose any one know how to do it using the 1.3 loom with 2 wires for the stat and where it gose to ? thanks .

 

with the temp gauge wire

use your original wire, which will be a brown/white trace

connect this up to one side of the temp sender in engine, the other wire goes to any earth point

or just put a cvh water temp sensor in it

 

ok thanks ill try tha .
