cheers phil.
chris, my mates mrs' 2004 fiesta went to a very dodgy place to have a new engine fitted. they took a zetec engine out and put a duratec in! when the car was delivered it wasnt in the best condition with all kinds missing from the engine even though it ran. anyway, next day there was no water in the resevoir so my mate went to fill it up. as he was doing so the water started running out of the rear of the engine block. ive had a quick look, im not a mechanic though, and theres what looks like a coolant pipe missing from the back of the engine and nothing going into the radiator. i just need to know what, if im right, that the pipe is called as i'll have to get a new one for him. also where does this pipe run to. is it directly to the radiator or would it go through a heater matirx etc. ive told him it probably needs to go to a garage to sort it out but it cant be driven with the problem above, and it is also out of tax and mot now.
any help would be appreciated.
cheers

They are both the same ones, Duratec and Zetec SE as found in Mk4/5/6 in 1.25/1.4/1.6 are all Zetec SE but for named em Duratec in mk6's.

As for the coolant hose it may well be a loose fittin to your matrix or block.

I can PM you details to obtain a Ford TIS CD so you can check but for the hassle you may aswell see Chris.

nice one fellas.
chris, that would be good.
can you pm me your number and i'll get paul my mate to ring you.
its his mrs car and theyve had nothing but grief with it since they got it back. she hasnt been able to use it since they got it back and its cost her a fortune already.
should have come to you in the first place.
it needs the coolant bits doing to it but also a very good check over to make sure its roadworthy.
cheers again
