Ford Maverick Engines:
Likely 2.0L Zetec, 2.3L Duratec, 3.0L Vulcan V6 (North America); 2.0L I4, 2.4L I4, 2.5L V6 (Global variants) - Specifics depend on market and exact sub-model
Ford Mondeo Engines:
1.6L Zetec-SE, 1.8L Zetec, 2.0L Zetec, 2.5L V6 Duratec/Zetec, 1.8L TDDI, 2.0L TDCi (Diesel) - Multiple generations and variants within 1995-2004 range
Ford Puma Engines:
1.4L Zetec-SE, 1.6L Zetec-SE, 1.7L Zetec-SE (YCA) - Known for sporty performance
Ford Puma Racing Engines:
Likely enhanced versions of the 1.7L Zetec-SE, possibly with upgraded cams, intake, exhaust for increased performance
Ford Transit Connect Engines:
1.8L Duratorq TDCi (Diesel), 1.6L/1.8L Zetec-SE/Rocam (Petrol) - Commercial vehicle focus
Ford Tourneo Engines:
Similar to Transit Connect, likely including 1.8L Duratorq TDCi (Diesel) and various petrol engines
Power Torque Variability:
Varies significantly across models, engine types, and model years. Manual provides specific figures for each variant.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) common across most petrol engines; Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) for TDCi diesel engines.
Transmission Options:
Manual transmissions (e.g., MTX75, IB5) and Automatic transmissions (e.g., AX4N, 4F27E) depending on model and market.
Transmission Types:
Manual and Automatic options available for many models, with specific variations based on engine and trim.
Transmission Fluid Specifications:
Manual provides specific ATF and gear oil specifications (e.g., MERCON V, WSS-M2C200-C) and fill capacities for each transmission type.
Safety Standards:
Manual will detail specific safety features and potential passive safety systems relevant to each model's production era, including airbag deployment and restraint systems.
Active Safety Systems:
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is common; Traction Control (TC) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) may be present on higher trims or later models within the range.
Passive Safety Features:
Airbags (driver, passenger, side), seatbelt pre-tensioners, reinforced safety cage construction are covered.
Infotainment Systems:
Basic radio/cassette/CD players, with options for upgraded audio systems, navigation (on some higher-spec Mondeos), and climate control interfaces.
Driver Assistance Features:
Cruise control is a common feature on higher trims. ABS is standard on many models. More advanced systems like parking sensors were rare or optional on specific models.
Connectivity Options:
Limited by era; primarily focused on audio systems. Bluetooth hands-free kits were aftermarket or dealer-fitted options.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, but manual provides specific OEM recommendations based on engine and driving conditions.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial for Zetec engines; intervals vary but often around 60,000-100,000 miles. Manual specifies exact interval and procedure for each engine.
Engine Oil Type:
Manual lists specific API and ACEA specifications and viscosity grades (e.g., 5W-30, 5W-40) based on engine and climate.
Coolant Type:
Ford specification coolant (e.g., Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant) or equivalent (e.g., G12, G13 depending on engine type).
Mondeo Suspension Wear:
Common wear on suspension components like control arm bushings and drop links, especially on higher mileage vehicles.
Puma Suspension Noise:
Rear suspension can develop knocking noises due to worn shock absorber mounting bushes or the trailing arm bearing.
Transit Connect Diesel Glow Plugs:
Glow plug issues or failure in Duratorq TDCi engines can lead to starting problems in cold weather.
Common Electrical Faults:
Corrosion on electrical connectors, faulty window regulators, and issues with central locking systems are sometimes reported across these models.
Ford Legacy:
Ford has a long history of producing reliable and popular vehicles across various segments, from passenger cars to commercial vans.
Mondeo Generation:
The Mondeo spanned multiple generations (Mk I, Mk II, Mk III) within this timeframe, representing Ford's European mid-size offering.
Puma Introduction:
The Puma was a distinctive compact coupe, celebrated for its engaging driving dynamics and often compared to Italian rivals.
Transit Connect Heritage:
The Transit Connect introduced Ford's renowned Transit van platform to a more compact commercial segment.
Manufacturing Locations:
These models were manufactured in various Ford plants across Europe and North America (e.g., Valencia, Spain for Puma; Genk, Belgium for Mondeo; Kocaeli, Turkey for Transit Connect).
