  1. It's a spark plug gaske that's leaking from the cam cover.
  2. As far as I'm aware, there is no English word that adequately describes the shape of the spark plug recess gaskets, therefore I used the word "round" to describe them. Well done!
  3. Because they squeeze each round gasket around each plug, I would assume that whoever changed the plugs last didn't torque the spark plug nuts down correctly at 11nm (I think). The oil will seep past the gaskets and pool around the plugs if they aren't snug enough.
  4. Hello there, I appreciate you providing that data to me. Once I have the data, I will text you back, but first I need to get an obd2 connector that works with Forscan.
  5. I performed several tests in Forscan, alright. Idle rpm ranges from 690 to 705 rpm, spark advancement deviation is low, and both the short-term and long-term fuel trim are good. The short-term trim ranges from -4% to 2%, and the long-term trim is nearly consistent at 10%. Now my only remaining suspicions are that the vibration could be caused by a faulty engine mount and that the lights could be an electrical issue. I would be grateful for any suggestions or assistance, despite
  6. Greetings, all! Even with the engine warmed up to operating temperature, my 2003 1.8L Mondeo starts shaking when I let it idle. Up until the rpms return, a little pressure on the gas pedal gets it going again. It is said that the idling rpm is fine as it stays at 750 and doesn't fluctuate. Another thing I noticed is that when the engine is not revving (around 1000-1100), all of the lights—cabin, dashboard, and headlights—flicker. I was worried about the alternator, but the mechanic assured me that everything is OK. Your assistance is much valued.
  7. Perhaps the new owners prioritise enhancing the look, adding accessories, or making adjustments. Although those decisions impact the car's aesthetics, the dependability and safety of a vehicle over time are frequently dictated by unassuming maintenance routines. Maintaining a clean driver's footwell to prevent pedal interference, keeping the cabin and underbody free of dirt, sand, or moisture, and paying close attention to the fit and safety of interior components rather than their aesthetics are all simple routines that can make a big difference. These things may not seem important at first, but they have a significant impact on how safe, comfortable, and long-lasting your car is.

  9. AI stands for Artificial Idiot.
  10. It amazes me that AI didn't inform you that it operates on a handful of AAA cells.
