  1. this is sooooo insane fluctuation can be for number of reason. did they check any leaks in radiator. is the coolant leaking?
  2. Hello Aamer, Technical resources is good garage in Al quoz area behind Mall of Emirates (closer to al khail road exit) in end. They usually do a lot of insurance fixes job and have good quality and competitive pricing.
  3. Hello everyone, stumble upon nice ford news cum achievement and thought of sharing with fellow Ford owners here in Dubai, that will make you feel proud as well. Off lately Ford started becoming very environment friendly and reduce the oil and water usage at their assembly line car manufacturing plants. This defintely sounds like Ford do care about the environment and make every possible effort to protect for our future generation. ________________________________________________________________________________ Ford continues to expand the use of near-dry machining, also known as Minimum Quantity Lubrication or MQL, which considerably reduces water and oil use, and improves plant air quality by eliminating the airborne mist produced by traditional wet machining Ford now has six plants in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe that have implemented the MQL process MQL replaces the use of large quantities of conventional metal-working fluids and provides the same amount of lubrication with much less environmental waste DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 16, 2013 - As part of its commitment to sustainability, Ford Motor Company has added its dry machining capability to six plants globally – a number that will nearly double in the next few years. Near-dry machining, also known as Minimum Quantity Lubrication or MQL, is a process that lubricates cutting tools with a fine spray of oil exactly when and where it is needed. In comparison, conventional wet machining floods the part with metal-working fluids, requiring large amounts of fluid to cool and lubricate the tools used to make engines and transmissions. For a typical production line, MQL can save more than 280,000 gallons of water per year, or enough to fill 5,600 average-sized bathtubs. Cologne Engine Plant in Germany decreased water use per engine by 50 percent from 2011 to 2012 by switching to the MQL process. “Reducing the environmental footprint of our plants is a critical part of Ford’s overall sustainability commitment,” said Andrew Hobbs, director of Ford’s environmental quality office. “Expanding new processes such as MQL across our global network of facilities allows us to have an even greater impact.” MQL also reduces the amount of oil needed to machine an engine or transmission 80 percent or more, to approximately 100 milliliters – or about half the size of an average drinking glass. Without the need for a coolant system across most engine production lines, MQL also helps to reduce energy use. While conventional wet machining produces an airborne mist, MQL eliminates that mist, improving air quality in the plant. Plants that have switched to the MQL process include: Changan Ford Engine Plant (China) Craiova Engine Plant (Romania) Cologne Engine Plant (Germany) Livonia Transmission Plant (Michigan) Romeo Engine Plant (Michigan) Van Dyke Transmission Plant (Michigan) “MQL technology will also be incorporated into future engine and transmission plants, underscoring our commitment to advanced manufacturing processes that reduce water and resource requirements,” said Bill Russo, director of manufacturing for Ford powertrain operations. Ford continues to work toward cutting water use 30 percent per vehicle by 2015. Between 2000 and 2012, Ford reduced global water use by 62 percent – about 10 billion gallons. More details on Ford’s green initiatives can be found in the 14th annual Sustainability Report. The report addresses Ford’s overall financial health, the fuel economy of Ford vehicles, safety-related achievements and other sustainability issues.

  5. its called coolant sensor. ask mechanic to have a look at it.
  6. how much dose suspension oil and changing cost?
  7. most of the ford parts are easily available except Fusion.
  8. hey what are high grade spark plugs called?
  9. at times there are good garages but with just one bad mechanic the reputation of the garage is compromised...
  10. how much will i have to spend when changing them?
  11. try wheel balancing. get it done professionally.
  12. THERE IS A SENSOR IN THE RADIATOR THAT SENSES THE COOLANT CHECK IF THAT IS WORKING.
  13. When do i change the timing belt of my 2004 Ford Fivehundred. thanks
