Hi guys
my mrs has a year 2000 puma 1.7
last few days it has developed a fault
starts all ok no problem there.
drives fine until it warms up and then when you come to a stop, it does not idle right
the revs drop down really low and the engine shakes as if it is going to stall. then when you drive off again all ok and pulls like a train in every gear.
I have been round to my mate, who has a diagnostic machine and it chucked out code P1380
looking it up online. this points to the Variable Cam Timing Solenoid
pinched pic from here some were but ringed the solenoid in red
ok I have looked on ebay and found this
it says this fits her puma.
anybody ever fitted 1 of these ?
is it easy ?
do I need any special tools ?
or would it be cheaper and easy to let ford do it ?
