Hi guys, got a bit of a problem.

I was working under the car when a cap fell out from the engine bay, I've looked to see where it would have come from but can't find it. Anyone know where the 710 cap goes on a 1.25 Zetec engine? Looks like this one:


Cheers in advance.

Headlight fluid mate.

I've looked around the headlight areas but can't see anything missing? I'm slightly worried its important to the car...

No mate, its nothing to worry about, just throw it away.

Hope that helps

That's not off a Zetec engine.

You get an F - Must try harder.

this has been round the foums more than that whore mikey b

Damn. Nobody's as gullible as I thought Even the mods knew it was a joke . Its the same shape as my oil cap but the cap has an image rather than 710 printed on it

1.25 isn't really a Zetec engine though, it's a Sigma

If it was obvious from the fact you put in 'Random Distractions'

Cor, come on Mikey, keep up

Whats the difference between Zetec and Sigma wayne?

[M1K3Y_B]

Cor, come on Mikey, keep up

How can i keep up when the first time i saw it, i am sure it was in Random?

Quite a bit I think. Sigmas were built between Yamaha and Mazda. I think I even heard someone say the inlet & exhaust manifolds are on opposite sides too but tbh I've never seen one in the flesh to say lol.

LOL this is so old, but someone did actually make a thread about this a few years back on some car forum, because they couldnt work out what cap it was.

1.25 is a Zetec-SE according to Haynes.

1.25 is a Zetec-SE according to Haynes.

That's what Ford branded it as but it doesn't technically belong to the "Zeta" engine family. It's the same with those "Zetec" diesels lol.

Google "Ford Sigma," you'll see what I mean

[trecoll]

Waynes correct.

Zetec-SE / Sigma was built between Ford and yamaha to be a high revving, lightweight engine (fail!*) Available in 1.25, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7. FItted to Mk4/5 Fiesta and the Puma.

The manifolds are the other way around, yes. But that is just better when it comes to TB's
Also the new Duratecs are this way around too..


* Fail because after a lot of 'high revving' the bottom end will just 'disintegrate' on the smaller 1.25 and 1.4 engines
