[Big Jake]

I will be updating this thread in stages as the work progress. Especially when fitting the 6sp gearbox etc

dont really want to piss on your fire here,but its already been done.i know of a few connects running 6 speed gearboxes even worked on the conversion

?? Don't understand how your pissing on his fire ?? He started the thread and says he's going to update it in stages, never said it was a first as far as I can see.

Great thread by the way, I for one have learnt a lot from this guy, keep at it paul2012 very informative. Thank you.

Is there another thread detailing the fitting of a 6 speed gearbox to a Connect

[paul2012]

Yes there are a few connects running round with Focus 2.0 VVT engines fitted (ST170) with 6 speed getrag MT285 gearboxes.
In my opinion the MT285 boxes are awfull with their clunky gearchanges etc & coupled up with DMF's
RS conversions are all 5sp - (Focus mk1 RS also uses MTX75 5sp gearboxes with a ratio of 3.56 & bolted to a 2.0 Zetec EFI 200ps engine)

Is there a connect with a 6sp box bolted onto a 1.8 Duratorq (lynx) engine who knows it's a big world out there..
To be honest, I'm not fussed if I'm the first, second or third one to do it.

Your've worked on a conversion, why not enlightened the forum with the precedure for the 6sp gearshift assembly on the 1.8 Duratorq

I've run a couple of 5 series BMW's for the last 13 years. I thought some of the parts for them were a bit on the expensive side, but Connect parts are off the scale.
Nearly a couple of quid for a headlining clip, which would be about 40p for the equivalent BMW item.
Maybe this is how Ford sell vehicles at lower prices, knowing that they'll make it up at the servicing and repair stages.

After searching everywhere for new clips for the forward section of centre floor console.

In the end, I got them from Ford at a cost of £3.50 each



Ford part No F4493651

These are used to clip lower sides of console to the mounting brackets

those look like the same clips used to hold the bumper corner caps on... but £3.50 each is taking the p*ss

Started to work on engine today

Replacement inlet manifold fitted no problem

How was you going to control the new electronic EGR with the original Dephi ECU ?

How was you going to control the new electronic EGR with the original Dephi ECU ?

Very easily

EGR actuator is a basic dc motor which is sprung loaded.
Energise & it rotates one way, with power cut it returns automatically to it original position (open & close)- NOT A STEPPER MOTOR

The EGR position sensor wiring on both euro 3 & 4 are indentical.
Except for the EVR on the euro 3 is negatively operated compared to the EGR actuator which is positively operated.
Unplug the EVR & connect the GN/BK V+ to pin 1 & BK/GN to pin 5 on the EGR assembly.

Should be connected as follows (on 2003-2006 models ONLY - retrofit)

Pin 1 GN/BK V+ ACTUATOR
Pin 2 YE/GN POSITION
Pin 4 WH/GN POSITION
Pin 5 BK/GN ACTUATOR
Pin 6 BN/GN POSITION

I agree they are pricey

Just like the wheel arch clips are priced at £4.99 each from Ford which is odd
You can buy complete front wheel arch trim complete with clips for connects from 2006 onwards at £20 (trade) each direct from Ford.

Which reminds me. I will have aload more arch clips available due to replacing my rear wheel arch trims.
FREE to anyone who wants them, just pay for p&p.
