Engine Options 1984:
2.0L I4 (OHC), 2.3L I4 (OHC), 2.8L V6 (OHC), 2.9L V6 (OHC).
Engine Details:
The manual is expected to cover all factory-offered engine variants for the 1984 model year. Specific output figures (HP, Torque) would be detailed within the manual for each engine. The Scorpio typically featured Ford's Cologne V6 engines and Pinto/Cortina sourced 4-cylinder engines.
Performance Data:
Specific horsepower and torque figures for each engine variant will be detailed in the manual. Typical outputs for the era ranged from approximately 100 HP for the 2.0L to around 150 HP for the 2.9L V6.
Fuel Injection Systems:
The manual will cover various fuel injection systems (e.g., Bosch L-Jetronic, Motronic) and carburetion if applicable to certain markets or base models.
Standard Transmission:
Likely a 4-speed or 5-speed manual transmission depending on engine and trim.
Optional Transmission:
Typically a 3-speed or 4-speed automatic transmission.
Transmission Fluid:
The manual will specify the correct automatic transmission fluid (ATF) type (e.g., Mercon, Dexron) and manual gearbox oil grades (e.g., GL-4, GL-5) and capacities.
Body Styles:
Primarily a 4-door sedan and a 5-door hatchback/estate ( Turnier).
Wheelbase:
Approximately 2735 mm (107.7 inches).
Overall Length:
Around 4600-4700 mm (181-185 inches) depending on body style.
Curb Weight:
Typically ranging from 1300 kg to 1500 kg (2866 lbs to 3307 lbs) depending on engine and equipment.
Gross Vehicle Weight:
Specific GVWR will be detailed within the manual, generally around 1800-2000 kg.
Safety Ratings:
Euro NCAP or equivalent ratings for this era are not directly comparable to modern standards, but the Scorpio was designed with passenger safety in mind for its time.
Active Safety:
The manual will detail systems like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) if equipped, power-assisted steering, and brake system components.
Passive Safety:
Covered systems include seat belts, crumple zones, and structural integrity. The manual will provide repair and adjustment procedures for these.
Infotainment System:
Basic for the era, likely featuring an AM/FM radio with cassette player. Manual will cover repair and removal of these units.
Driver Assistance:
Limited by modern standards. ABS was an option on higher trims. Manual will cover any available electronic aids.
Connectivity:
N/A (No modern connectivity features like Bluetooth or USB were available).
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000-10,000 miles (8,000-16,000 km) or 6-12 months, depending on oil type and driving conditions. Manual will specify exact intervals.
Timing Belt Replacement:
For 4-cylinder OHC engines, replacement is crucial, typically around 30,000-60,000 miles (48,000-96,000 km). V6 engines may have timing chains. Manual will detail specifics.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Intervals vary by plug type (copper, platinum), but generally between 20,000-30,000 miles (32,000-48,000 km) for standard plugs.
Engine Oil Grade:
Likely 10W-40 or 20W-50, depending on climate and engine. Manual will specify API service classifications (e.g., SF, SG).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual will provide Ford's specific coolant recommendations.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is standard for this era.
Common Issues 1984:
Potential issues for vehicles of this age and type include rust, electrical gremlins (especially wiring harnesses), fuel injection system issues, and wear on suspension components. The manual will provide diagnostic steps for these.
Ford History:
Ford has a long history of producing reliable and innovative vehicles, with the Scorpio representing their European flagship sedan/hatchback of the mid-1980s, succeeding models like the Granada.
Scorpio Generation 1:
The first generation Scorpio (1985-1994) was launched to critical acclaim for its aerodynamic design and technological features. The 1984 information likely pertains to the very late stages of development or pre-production for the 1985 launch, or potentially early production examples.
Production Location:
The Ford Scorpio was primarily manufactured at Ford's plant in Genk, Belgium.
