9 months ago one of my plugs broke and blew out of the head the car is an 03 fiesta zetec 1.4 petrol. michanic said he never seene antyhing like it the rest of the plugs were rusted so bad he took hours to remove only 20 000 miles on the clock. now again 9 months later the plugs are the same again red rusted into the head and half inch of watter in plug well,cant see were the watter is coming from or what is causing it. any help would be great thank you.ps thought i read the ka had this problem.
There's a problem with washer jets leaking onto the cylinder head on these; you need the latest jets with seals, plus I'd be changing plugs, leads and coil pack as all are affected and if not addressed can also blow the PCM.
looking at other forums i have found that there is also water problems from rain running off the windscrene and down through the wiper onto the head and down the plug leads into theplug well ,ford wont admit there is a problem here. going into ford garage next week but will have to payfor anything they do myself.
ran the hose over the jets today and dead right the water was pouring down onto the head and onto the plugs.also ranthe hose onto the windscrne the water ran like a river down through the wiper drive and onto the back of the engine will show this to ford garage on thursday and see what they say.thanks alot fordtech great stuff.
took the car in today and told them what i found on his forum about the leak from the jets, they didnt know of such a thing , but then rang ford in england and they told them to go ahead and fix the car for free. they changed jets for the new type and changed the plugs, so very happy i found this forum and your great advice fordtech.
