Hi all,

I have just bought a fiesta mk4 which has a puma 1.7 installed in it.
We are working through the known issues. One of those is a leak around the vct solenoid sensor is. When the engine is running there are spits of oil coming out around the sensor. Is this oil leaking into the sensor area because the rocker gasket leaking or does the sensor have it own seal?

Thanks for your help.
 
Hi!

It does have its own seal, if you check out Alison Automotive's video on YouTube on servicing the Puma engine, he gives you the part number for it.

thanks. just to close this thread. I bought the rocker cover set from the local ford dealer which did indeed include a separate seal for the vct solenoid
