Manual Type Clarification
Manual Depth:
This is a full service and repair manual, providing in-depth technical information beyond a simple owner's manual.
Engine Options:
Likely includes 2.0L Inline-4 (OHC/DOHC), 2.3L Inline-4, 2.8L V6, and 2.9L V6 engines, depending on market and trim.
Typical Horsepower Range:
Ranges from approximately 90 hp (2.0L) to 140 hp (2.9L V6).
Typical Torque Range:
Ranges from approximately 100 lb-ft (2.0L) to 160 lb-ft (2.9L V6).
Fuel Delivery:
Carbureted (early models/base engines) and Fuel Injection (likely electronic multi-point injection for most 1994 models).
Cooling Type:
Pressurized liquid cooling system with engine-driven water pump and fan (or fan clutch).
Common Engine Codes:
Specific engine codes would be detailed in the manual (e.g., 'YAK' for a 2.0L OHC, 'NRB' for a 2.8L V6, etc.).
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 10,000 km (6,000 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. (Manual will specify exact interval and oil type).
Spark Plug Replacement:
Intervals vary by engine type, but generally around 30,000-60,000 km (20,000-40,000 miles).
Timing Belt Replacement:
Critical for interference engines; intervals typically 80,000-120,000 km (50,000-75,000 miles). Manual will provide precise interval and procedure.
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely API SG or SH rated, viscosity grades such as 10W-40 or 15W-40, depending on ambient temperature. (Manual will confirm exact specification).
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual will specify type and capacity.
Brake Fluid Specification:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. (Manual will specify exact type).
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Likely a Dexron-III or equivalent fluid. (Manual will specify exact type and capacity).
Power Steering Fluid:
Likely ATF Dexron-II or equivalent. (Manual will confirm).
Manual Transmission Fluid:
API GL-4 rated gear oil, typically 75W-90 or 80W-90. (Manual will specify exact type and capacity).
Differential Fluid:
Hypoid gear oil, GL-5 rated, typically 80W-90. (Manual will specify capacity).
Common Faults General:
Potential issues include electrical gremlins (common for the era), corrosion on body panels, wear in suspension and steering components, and aging cooling system parts.
Engine Specific Wear:
V6 engines may exhibit oil leaks or gasket failures over time. Inline-4 engines can be generally robust but require regular maintenance.
Ford European Market:
The Granada was a significant model for Ford of Europe, positioned as a larger, more upscale car than the Cortina/Sierra.
Granada Mk3 Generation:
The 1994 model year falls within the Granada Mk3 (also known as Scorpio in some markets, particularly after a facelift) generation, which ran from 1985 to 1994.
Facelifts:
The Granada Mk3 underwent a significant facelift in 1992, often referred to as the Scorpio, which updated styling and some features. This 1994 manual should cover the post-facelift model.
Production Era:
Ford Granada Mk3: 1985-1994.
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily manufactured in Germany and the UK.
