Is the PCV system on Pinto and Kent engines from mk4 cortina an open type pcv system?

Recommended Posts

@sierra3dr https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CH7tiPcWw/ i have found this listing while scrollin thru the turkish fb groups. The guy is asking 3100 gbp for 1992 model with power steering, electric front windows, 5 speed gearbox and AC equipped car. (Also has LPG on it) and doesnt seem to be too well taken care of :sad:. Not sure for how much cortina mk5s go for in the UK but around 2500-3500 gbp range will be as cheap as it can get in here. We drive the most expensive cars in the world thanks to our taxation system, you buy one brand new car for yourself and 3 other cars for the government with the amount of tax you pay :)). My dads car is Opel astra j 2012 sports tourer with 1.4 engine and its worth around 20000 euro in here, same car in germany is barely worth 7-8k euros :laugh:. Our own locally manufactured cars are still very cheap thankfully and not ultra expensive like modern cars. The 2500-3500 gbp mark seems a bit cheaper than what TC3 Taunus models go for in Germany but as far as i know cars are quite a bit cheaper in the UK compared to Germany so maybe the 2500-3500 price range isnt too cheap by UK standards.

A car of that age (irrespective of make/model) would be considered to be in very good condition .

The sierra went out of production in 92 in the UK , most survivors will be in a similar condition  or have been out of use for 10/15 years  needing major repair work or only fit for spare parts.

Th only Sierra's fetching serious money are cosworth versions with projects selling for £5000+ & original low mileage ones several £100,000 one sold lest year for close to £500,000!.

Mk5 cortinas realistically sell for £2000-5000  .

By the way i asked around on fb and indeed it looks like none of our models came with injection and no oxygen sensor and no cats so i guess the 1993 models wouldnt be possible to import into the UK :sad:. I think here even cats were mandated in around 2002-2003, my dad bought a brand new FIAT Siena 1.4el in 2000 and it came with no cats and used the lampredi monoalbero engine from fiat 128 fwhich first came out in 1969, only things added to the 69 model engine was single point efi and wasted spark ignition. 31 year old engine with no cats still being sold in brand new cars in year 2000 :biggrin:
