Ford Festiva

Depends what year it is, some have a separate dipstick and others are just stupid and you have to pull out your speedo cable to refill them i have a 98 model and you have to unscrew the speedo cable, remove the cable from the casing and then pull the entire gear shaft out of the spedo cable housing before you can even check the oil

According to the Ford mechanics manual it will take approximately 8 hours to change the timing belt. The procedure can take as little as seven hours and as many as nine hours to complete.

Sounds like the Valve Cover Gasket needs replacing. You need to find out where the oil is coming from first. Clean all the oil off the engine and then start it, and look see where it is leaking. It is probably not the head gasket.

Yes, that, but if you remove the Oil Filler Cap, and with the engine running there is considerable air flow coming out of the Valve Cover, then probably you have a bad compression ring on at least one cylinder.....what it does is pressurize the Valve Cover and eventually blows out the gasket....mine does it in the front......leaking oil all down the front of the engine.......a Compression Check would be in order.

what year is it i do not think it matters but at the front there is a plastic piece with the air vents at the bottom are 2 Philips head screws one on each side then it will pull of and there is screws on the radio that hold them in remove these then side the radio forward and disconnect the plugs and unscrew radio ground and unplug antenna i hope this helps i did this on my 1989 Ford Festiva

i have a 91 Festiva, but around that range they are pretty much the same so it is 3 quarts of oil

In fact it' a 1993 festiva standard. How put off old plates on front discs braques?

I bought an '89 Festiva with 1.3L Automatic Fuel Injected and used nothing but 10W30 Penzoil for 21 years........engine had 269,000 miles on it when it finally wore out the compression rings and started blowing oil.

To change the starter on a 1993 Ford Festiva, first disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Remove the starter's electrical connections, typically consisting of a main power wire and a smaller trigger wire. Unbolt the starter from its mounting location, then take it out. Install the new starter by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are secure before reconnecting the battery.

The recommended tire pressure for a Ford Fiesta 1.2 typically ranges from 30 to 33 PSI (pounds per square inch) for both front and rear tires. However, it's essential to check the vehicle's manual or the sticker located on the driver's side door jamb for the specific pressure suited for your model and load conditions. Maintaining the correct tire pressure ensures optimal performance, safety, and fuel efficiency.
