i have a couple of problems and queston.
there is a knocking noise coming from the rear driver side of the car. it only hapens when i corner to the left and have power on. what would couse this???
another question. i want to change the diff oil. what type do i need and how much do i need?
the heating in the car seems to be not working. after the car has fully wormed up the. when i turn the temp up its not hot at all. and on the cold mornings its not nice. how do i go about fixing this problem.
thanks
the knocking sounds like one of your bushes had gone, mine did that for a while. Not a clue on the diff oil tho. With the heating are you using the A/C? mine never seems to get too hot unless i turn the A/C off.
The diff takes about 1.7 litres of oil.
I used royal purple stuff from rotaryArt

I agree about the knocking could be your bushes, Maybe you could jack the back of the car up and give the wheel a pull, i think you would feel movement.
As for the heating no clue mate sorry:rolleyes:
with the heating you need to see if you are getting hot fluid getting to the inside/ blower, it could be anything from the rotary switch itself as thats electrically operated to a blocked heater matrix. Unfortunately you just have to eliminate the quickest and easiest.
Ye it could be the heater matrix itself mine went the other month (even thos a fiesta is nt the same as a RX i wish) Cost me like 60 quid 4 a new 1!!!!
