Hope someone can help?
My 75ps 2.4 duratorq engine in a rwd convoy occasionally throws up p1563 and p1664 but starts on the second turn. If the fuel pump doesn't request a stop it rattles for a second or two every time it starts now. The engine had a new timing kit fitted before i bought it 3 years ago and developed the issue about 5 months ago.
Ive read through a tonne of posts and discussions about this and believe it may be the tensioner that is at fault. Possibly an aftermarket kit was fitted with the older type of tensioner, i can only guess until i can get the front off.
I've read a lot about the tensioners and guides that needed to be updated and about the relevant TSB and problems with the ford dealers.
Taz666 posted this a long time ago:
Timing chain tensioner 1138760
Timing chain tensioner arm (66kW (90PS) engine only) 1096496
Timing chain tensioner arm (All - except 66kW (90PS) engine) 1112290
Timing chain (66kW (90PS) engine only) 1099874
Timing chain (All - except 66kW (90PS) engine) 1102609
I initially assumed it meant that the 75ps engine fell into the (all except (90ps) engine) category but then read this post http://www.fordtransitforum.co.uk/forum ... 5&t=120647 that threw me off as it says he used a 1096496 tensioner arm.
Should the 1138760 tensioner go with the 1112290 tensioner arm or is it the 1096496 tensioner arm in a 75ps engine?
Sorry for adding to the long lists of posts on this, think ive read everything about it twice and still not sure with this engine.
Thanks
