Servicing.

[Guest Kennedy48]

My friend had asked me if I could service her car. She has a ford ka, 53 reg. I'm no expert but il give anything a try. Is It worth trying or are these engines the new hard type, with manifold and everything blocking spark plugs etc. Plus. What's everythin you would change/renew in a typical service.

(I like to learn)

Cheers luke.

simple little duratec 4 pot lump.

 

Oil and filter, air filter,plugs and fuel filter should cover it.

all wheels off and check brakes for wear make sure nothing else is worn or leaking too.

the cars just been mot'd so will this have been checked in the test? I work with engines everyday and they are dead easy to work with, but they arnt in the cars when I'm testing them so takes 10 minutes to strip and build. Thinking a service will be dead easy haha.
