I was having a quick convo with a friend of mine last night and he mentioned he has had some issues with his ST engine, basically its breathing excpetionally hard from what I could make out.

He mentioned there has been faults on these engine with a diaphragm spiltting behind the oil filter housing or something Can anyone clarify this ?

Have the ST's had any dramatic problems ? I'm guessing there is one or Ford mechanics on here who could answer that

Its not covered by warranty as its mildly modded so it needs to be sorted and he understandably doesn't want to take it anywhere thathaven't got a clue about the car.

Any help would be appreciated

 

There aren't many problems with these.. gearbox mounts breaking.. some have had failed liners (inducing HG failure).. but that's about it!

 

bump

 

THIS IS THE KIDDY...



FITS HERE...



UNFORTUNATELY....

This diaphragm is not available separately. only the housing only finis 1370976 @ £117.18 inc vat

 

Cheers Dave, do you know of a fault with that part then ?

 

i work for a ford dealer and have changed a couple of these.crankcase oil seperator something like that.causes engine light on saying too much air due to it drawing it in through said diaphram

 

has happened to a few cars, std and modified cars and is caued by excessive boost levels apparently.

 

on back order from germany aswell, unsure when the will be here!

problem is a whisling noise, take the oil cap off with engine running and the noise stops.

 

hi dave , ive got this fault ,, when i remove oil cap the noise goes away .. ive got the crank shaft filter on order,, the engine light has come on,now(orange)is it ok to drive slowley for acouple of days? thanks mark
