Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems Ford Zetek 1.6 L1E
The most problematic for owners is the ever-clogged filter in the gas tank.
If you ignore traction failures and drive like this, the fuel pump will fail.
According to the regulations, the timing belt serves 120 thousand km, but it is better to change it twice as often
The search for the source of the leak should begin with the front and rear crankshaft oil seal
The use of low-quality lubricant quickly affects the hydraulic lifters
