1992 Ford Fiesta XR2i review from UK and Ireland
"Goes like a go-kart, when you know what you're doing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ONLY ONE PROBLEM SO FAR (touch wood). Bet after I write this the car will blow up on the way home or something!!
Faulty thermostat.
Injectors are a bit noisy too.
General comments?
The car has a lot of dead spots, this is sorted out by chipping the car, but the only problem with the Ford Zetec engine, is that every time you do a mod eg. exhaust or K&N air filter, you will need to get the car tuned & chip re-mapping on a rolling road, to get the most out of the mod, so PUT THE CHIP IN LAST!! After the K&N, exhaust & cams.
Don't BOTHER with a power boost valve for this model, it doesn't work!!
After doing all this, you will need to tow a petrol tanker around with you, I can only just get 170 miles town driving after all this, so the running costs are HIGH!!
