Car Talk / Re: Ford Escape Thread by mayor2013: 1:26pm On Sep 09, 2018
alpink:
Good day all. I'm using ford escape 2005 model. I changed the radiator recently and the mechanic mistakenly connected the gear oil hose to the water pipe and water and gear oil mixed together.

I tried to get another mechanic who flushed the mixed gear oil with another gear oil, but as at right now, my gear is not engaging .

Please is my gear box spoilt or can it be repaired? If it can be repaired, do we have any ford gear specialist on here and also do anyone have an idea of how much a complete ford escape gear would cost?

Please reach me on 07054827073.

Thanks fam.

Inception:


what kind of gasket did you use? Graphite or steel multilayer? if the latterhow did you handle the cleaning of the mating surfaces to assure no leaks whatsoever?

Secondly did this engine suffer oil shortage due to its poor state?

Excellent job btw... You truly deserve some accolades #teamsreplacerebuild

Multi layer steel gasket was used as seen in the picture. smoothener paper was used to give laying surface of engine block and cylinder head a smooth texture so as to allow easy lay down of head gasket.

Minimal oil shortage. Less significant

For the very first time after about a year of constant AC usage on my Primera P11, the AC acted funny.
I was leaving my place of work around 4pm, i switched on the AC as usual, taking my leg off the gas i found out the car went off on motion, i found out putting off the AC, the car was normal, this went on for some minutes and i parked, then switch the AC on again and i allowed the car to run idle before taking off

Everythin went on normally and it chilled as usual until i got home, put off the vehicle. I decided to test the AC again and this time around, unusual sound of the AC belt came on and it was so bad that i had to turn it off.

Same thing happened thee next morning, this time around the belt cut off just 3 seconds on switching on. I parked, the call an AC technician, the only thing he said on phone was, the Compressor siezed up and it was completely damaged and i should buy another compressor. Just like that shocked

I just closed my bonnet like that and took my mind of AC . This happened last month, but the truth is, it hasn't been easy constantly using the thingy and now not been able to use it anymore sad

My question is, could it be repaired or will i have to change the whole compressor completely?

It's like the prayers of your ac technician has been answered. � prayers back at him and your car AC shall be fine. grin

Sir, elaborate, sir!

Not every complete engine gets to come with AC compressor. In most cases seller might insist on some additional cash to have it come with it. Sometimes you might just be a lucky chap wink
