if u see the tank live u will think it's fishpond

GAZZUZZ:
Ford E450 7.3liter diesel powered 2003 model.

Problems : loss of power.


Initial scan threw

P1280 Injector control pressure out of range low
P0113 IAT intake air Temp sensor circuit High input
P1670 Electronic Feedback signal not detected
P1211 Injector control Pressure above/below
desired


All codes point to a faulty fuel pump/a dirty pickup screen/filter.

Bringing down the fuel tank required using a transmission jack to gently drop tank, and a a drain of over 100liters of diesel.

Will continue..

AutoElectNG:

2003? Signature says 2009? Confused

Let me just drop this here

GAZZUZZ:
at this point, I assuming this will be a quick, in my mind, wash tank, go to ojuelegba, buy parts install and vehicle should be out same day, But alas my village people had other plans.


To avoid traffic/where to park took an uber straight to ojuelgba.

Shop 1 I showed them pics is they had the sender and fuel pump........ Unavailable

Shop 2..... Unavailable

Shop 3, 4,5,6......unavailable.

Ok I resorted to baranda moves, called one of them, he quoted 45k for sender and 50k for pump (new parts I said no problem, go bring am, I de here

30mins later baranda called and said, Oga, I get the one wey go work am I said no worry just come back

So I concluded new and used fuel pump and sender were unavailable in ojuelegba.

Day 1 gone.


next day went shopping online, found all the parts, placed an order, all parts plus shipping were over 700dollars.

Called owner for approval, he gave consent in his words, "let's go for it"

in the mean time, vehicle is required for some small trips and parts will not arrive till end of the month, so I had to improvise on the existing structure on the fuel lines.

So I in-cooperated an internal screen filter from an old but clean pump assy, and replaced the fuel pump (toks)

Dusted off my old fuel pressure Gauge and connected it to the pipe work when the engine was running.

Readings looked good, 55-60psi engine was running fine. Took it for a test drive.

Cleared all codes, and only P0113 left (I'll find you later)

Hit the road and 10km later, vehicle started loosing power, re-scanned and p1280 was back.

Drove back slowly.

spent the night reading and watching YouTube videos, and then I saw a guy complain about the walls of the tank waring out and clogging the screen filter

Placed order for fuel tank, over 1000dolars without shipping. Work stopped first

Tank is available locally.....!

Ford! hmmmm.With what i have just read on this thread.I will never go near that Brand.

limsycutey:
A family friend uses a very recent ford suv model, a few months ago, she had to pay 750k for a new part (don't know which one exactly) and i want to believe it included labour.

Ishilove:

Na lie! Stop making excuses. You're cheating on me

This is the price quoted for the electric power steering by workshops the likes of Cosharis.

The electric power steering had a factory fault, there was a recall but recall doesn't concern Nigeria. 2010-2014 if I remember correctly

EgunMogaji:
Una no fit make gas tank for Nigeria?

dumo1:
But Coscharis is the official accredited dealer for Ford motors in Nigeria, so the vehicle recall naturally is supposed to extend to all the affected Ford vehicles in Nigeria.

I am yet to see any accredited dealer of Cars or Mobile Phone recall anything in Nigeria.

Even Samsung during the messy Galaxy Note recall, the thing no reach Nigeria.

We kinda have a weak CPC (Consumer Protection) in Nigeria.

Toyota Nigeria (Elizade, Briscoe, Globe Motor etc) and Coscharis (Jaguar, Ford, Range Rover etc) do donate free cars to agency that are supposed to fight in justice done to consumers in Nigeria.

So once a dealer pocket agencies responsible for protecting consumer right, who go fight the battle.

A well-known accredited car dealer was said to be using a wrong engine oil grade to service new cars that are still under warranty and free service year, so if a car dealer can use a 20W-50 to do free engine oil change service for car made between 2010 - 2018 and such dealership is still in business till this moment, why do you expect such dealer to do vehicle recall.

Just passing jejely

Out there somewhere is someone that can weld up a gas tank. I’ve seen fuel tanks to carry petrol being built in ordinary Ibadan.

the original Gas tank has been discontinued by manufacturer.

They now sell plastic gas tanks.

Seems like a better deal long term
