Hello,i'm new to my 2.0 dtizafira,it's had it's teething problems which i've managed to muddle my way through most of them,so thought i'd join up and say hello so i can give or recieve any helpful tips along the way.
So far i had no second position on the ignition,so no radio or blower motor,which i fixed by taking the switch apart and soldered a blob onthe flat worn outcontact inside on one of the contact forks.
I had no heat coming through from the vents,the pollen filter was blocked solid.
I had 1 out of 4 glows working,managed to change 2 and snapped one,as per usual
So i have rigged up a push to break switch on the temperature sensor wire so when i press it,it brings the glow plugs on for longer because the ecu thinks it's -17 outside.
I took the inlet manifold off yesterday to cure the flat spot,and it was blocked right up as well,it took me ages getting the old bits of leak off pipe out of the holes for the crossover pipes.
Still got an outstanding rear window not working,no power at the plug and the fuse is fine,so i'm getting there slowly.
