This 35 min video reminded me of every cold morning start when I had an Orion with the exact same 1.6D. Funny enough - when that engine locked up - I swapped it for a 1.8TD. Thanks for the memories, loved that car

Great Job. It was very hard to get it working but you did it once again you proved that you know what you are doing. 👍 My dad had the same escort but it was sedan and 1.6 petrol I am sure. I remember the very first smell when I get inside the car. We lived in Bulgaria and it was winter like - 20° and the escort aways started from the first time. It was petrol but I like the diesel. He used to drift in the snow with the escort. Great memories thank you for reminding me this feeling and I can smell the smoke from here 😂👍👍🍺

I love the fact that someone has converted it to the 1.6 Diesel! When i saw the engine bay i already thought "something´s wrong" and then read your description. ;) We had the 1.6 on the previous generation Escort (1987) and it was indestructable, also the sound is stuck in my head since then. Love the singy noisy, much nicer then the slightly grumpy sound of the 1.8. PS: can´t wait to see the detailing video once your winter is over.

I had a 3 door escort exactly the same colour many years ago,non turbo diesel, most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Never spent a penny on it and it never let me down

Super reliable engine, will long out live many cars, this car and many people!

When you want to get warm, but the engine won't run that's the most uncomfortable experience ever. Good job getting it going!! 🙂🙂🙂

The unique Ford diesel sound, love it. Better to connect the accu negative to the engine block near the starter, less resistance and the starter will spin faster. Great video anyway. keep those cold starts coming.

Appreciate the English subtitles (especially the jack with bad pump seal- 5 hours later... I know that feeling!) That looks really super solid for a Mk5 body, the scuttle, wing bottoms and even around the filler cap I didn't notice any gaping holes. Must have been well loved, and well worth saving too.

Happy new year Flexiny and everyone Who watches!

I just love your videos! You bring something back to life. We could learn from that here in Denmark. We just buy new because we can…

this channel is a gem

Good evening Flexiny, Thank you for this new video of restarting this Ford Escort, incredible that after such a long stopping time in rather difficult conditions this model can restart.

I dont know how floor is bad, but pretty solid body i must say, rockers are easy to fix, and single stage paint easy to buff out. pretty solid car, it has potential

Fun starting worn out old diesels in the winter! Surprised that one had any floor left in it after sitting in the mud like that. Amazing the wheels turned when dragging it off the trailer!

I always had trust that 1.6 Diesel Engine was going to start

This is incredible,you just give another chance to this car

Almost painful to watch, but ALWAYS satisfying! Another nailed in!!! Congrats!!!

These were impossible to start from cold even after one day, imagine after 9 years and under the snow 🤣

I love Ford, I drive a Ford Focus Diesel, that is 20 years old this year! I love him, it is standing outside all the time and always runs great and always starts, even in the cold.

That was a Fun Video , got to hear it start from the outside !!! one of the best

I remember that in a nearby house here in my neighborhood in Buenos Aires Argentina there was one of these. I asked and they told me that it was a German Ford Escort (I don't know if this one is also German), according to its owner it wasn't working because something was broken in its engine. I remember that it remained abandoned in the garden of the house for a long time, apparently nobody wanted to buy it because it is known here that spare parts for imported vehicles are very expensive and difficult to obtain. On the other hand, the newest model of this series that was manufactured here in South America in Brazil had an overwhelming success!

the colour and bumpers reminded me to my grandfather's orion, a great car to be honest

Old Ford diesels wow 20 year’s ago I had 1989 escort van. I had to tow start it when weather got cold 🥶 Fun times 😂 Good video 👍

not only you wake up old beast you also let it "stretch its legs". I love it 10/10

Barking dog, beam of light and a car, covered with moss looks like a beginning of horror movie

I have been waiting for new video. Great!

The smell of a Diesel after a cold start in the snow! I just love it.

Great videos keep the good work my brother 💪

Old ford Dagenham 1.6 D another bullet proof engine. Another great upload. 👍

Nice Escort. Quite high-spec CL trim level. It has the same seat upholstery as the 1992 Sierra 1.8 LX I used to have. Looks nice with its Series 1 Orion Ghia wheel trims too. It would be great to see this disaster-detailed and then returned to the road. It certainly looks straight enough.

Я, когда впервые стал стартовать замёрзший дизель, сначала прокачивал топливо, потом нагревал строительным феном топливный насос, фильтр, интеркулер и направив горячий воздух из фена во впускной коллектор - стартовал замёрзший в -20°С дизель) Турбодизель)

Fun stuff. Thanks for capturing it on video.

My 1988 Ford Escort has the same engine, loved it 😍

my favourite shape of escort i had an H redg one of the first with the 1.3 engine, great car very reliable so easy to work on

Beautiful old Escort- I hope you restore this Car ❤️❤️❤️

Отдельное спасибо и лайк за детали в видео, такие как: ключ с брелком! Спасибо.

I love these videos so much...

With this video I remeber every morning in cold days starting my Ford Fiesta unsuccessfully ,to have a truck battery it wouldn’t start again such a bad cars ford . I have bad experiance in hot days no ,but when start cold times same things . And i was change everything service on time , plugs , starter good and again no . But i learn something when the level oil is a little bit low they will not start ,and i see on this ford engine mounts are bad this is one reason more why they don’t start at right time . Because engine level is not in right position … Respect my friend i love ur channel . 👌🏻

very very good project greetings from holland

Great video flexiny, great work to get that engine going in that cold weather, you used the old hot air trick into the inlet 👍, lovely sound of that Ford diesel 👍😀👌

I LOVE the old diesel's sound

Those engines are really hard to do destroy. I had started Fiesta 1.6D after hydro locking by driving thru water at 60kph. All I done is removed air filter, put it in forth gear and pushed it backwards till most of water got out. After that I cranked and it started right up running smooth.

Great job man i appreciated you

Escort SW, i love this car Missing the worked, 1.6L petrol. good car.

Bullet proof engine they are proper Diesel engines 😎

Those wheel nuts definitely won't fall off!

You're such a talented mechanic. My Mondeo with the 1.8TD won't run in cold weather.

These old Escorts were all so the rave in the 90s , when i was born, too. I remember seeing the gas versions of these, when I was a kid, in the late 90s.

Another great resurrection video!

Interior was surprisingly Clean...

hi i think your videos are always great i like old cars myself but what i keep wondering what do you do with all the cars that are scrapped after the video or do you make them ready for the street keep up the really cool videos greetings from Germany

during this start of the engine, it's like I saw myself some 12 years ago with an escort. only the rope motivated him to work: D

Happy New Year for Flexiny

Amazing Vehicle i like what you do +1 sub 😁

Another car lives to drive another day! All it needs is a good power washing/detail and a set of new tires. It's weird seeing a car with a diesel engine instead of gasoline because here in the US It's pretty rare to have a diesel powered car. Diesels usually power trains, semi's and medium/heavy duty trucks here.

Watching these videos of 30 year old cars happily running makes me feel dum that my 2016 car is in the shop every other month.

Came up in the end a good car for daily comute. Economycal too!

I love your videos! keep up!

SOUNDS BETTER THAN MY a3 2012 TDI.

my family owned this car in the 90s, it was a grey ghia with 1.6 gasoline engine.

I have received an offer to buy a diesel Ford Escort Van, just a little younger than the car in your video. Just needs a new fuel pump, from what I can see. Very reasonable price. I am tempted to buy for myself and make her run, just like you. And now that I've seen this video I really am having a hard time passing that offer. But I already have multiple cars xD

Back in 80s early 90s these were in a lot of escort vans and a few orions and were reliable runners.

Complimenti per il vostro video molto indicativo/con molta competenza🏅

I had Mondeo 2 tdi with similar 1.8 engine. This video gave me a lot of bad flashbacks :D.

Tira o chapéu pelo teu serviço aí tu é um bom profissional

Man it’s my dream to own a property like yours. To store all of my projects, It would be lots of fun

Pluckey little Escort, took some time to get going, but then managed to fire into life and run quite well and all the lights worked..

You are The best❤️👍

Bellissima prova bellissimo paesaggio 👍

I had a 1993 Ford Escort, so looking round this seems very familiar....but mine was a bit fancier being a Ghia, had velour cloth seats, electric mirrors, a rev counter etc.....

The Ford escort has been fixed! Now it can drive now!

1.6D gran motor 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

U r a great yr!

Я очень давно подписан на вашь канал и мне очень интересно смотреть. Эскорт в универсал я первый раз вижу, но мне интересно куда потом эти автомобили уходят? И я заметил, что к бмв у вас отдельная любовь. Я желаю вашему каналу большого продвижения и всего самого хорошего. Честно скажу очень интересно смотреть когда старому автомобилю дают вторую жизнь, ибо раньшне занимался таким же делом. Дай бог вам здоровья в новом году.

Noc, psy dupami szczekają, a Ten się zabiera za kolejnego strupa. Normalnie szacun i łapa, jak zwykle :)

awesome !!!

Nice car

Pamiętam u siebie w escorcie te odpalanie i klekot w zimie był problem z cofającym się paliwem

Escort 😍

so nice

Hey, with all these cars you show, where do you even get the key from? I can only imagine the key becoming long lost when the car has been left abandoned for so long.

bela pessoal, show de boal esse sesse escort wagon. Aqui no Brasil nao tivemos versao Diesel

Hello from Russia! I believe that some day you will buy TOYOTA CARINA II 1988-1992 and give them another live That's a beautiful car! I Appreciate your work!

Был у меня такой 1,8Д, заводился отвратительно, я ему всю топливную сделал, форсунки, насос новые ставил, стартер более мощный, АКБ с большим пусковым током, свечи накала новые а на запуске все равно приходилось чиргукать. но расход солярки 5,5 по городу очень радовал.

Can we see a detailing like you did with the Passat B3?

Good агрегат много у нас их бегало да ещё кое где в регионах ездит, как правило владели такими эскортами таксисты да владельцы минимаркетов машинка весьма вместительная

Nice car....

Looks like the cold preserves cars well.

Вы уж станете миллионером сколько машин

1:24 very rare Ford Escort / Fiesta 13"

A question, do you ever sell your cars that you started and powerwashed or do you keep a collection for KZfaq only? Edit: also you guys should do some clutch dumps in the snow with a car of your choice that would surely be cool

Ahh yes the old Ford Endura DE engine, never great at starting in vert cold temperatures, I think it’s partly due to the glow plug relay switching the plugs off too soon. I use to turn the glow plugs on 3 times before cranking my Mk1 Mondeo 1.8 Diesel and if usually went first time.

good chanel i​ love​ service car beitiful second car urope from​ Thailand​ gent​ asia thankฯ

It's rare to see a car abandoned for such a long time in Korea. I wonder if abandoned vehicles are common enough to be easily seen in Europe, and whether those revived cars will be repaired and delivered to new drivers.

👏👏👏complimenti bravo

my summer car pog

Nice car 🚗🤠

any car deserves to be saved
