removing the air filter is simply the stupidest thing you could do. Think about what a filter does, if you've seen an old filter before you quickly realise that that amount of dust dirt and small insects will easily get in your engine without.
The Valencia pushrod engine is indestrucable. It is a modified Kent engine by Ford that was used in the Ford Anglia, Escort (and Orion I think), most Fiestas until the mid 1990s and the first edition of the Ford Ka. So it has been around for a long time. Many Fiesta owners have found that they gain an extra 10 to 15 hp once they removed the air filter. Perhaps look at replacing it with a KN filter instead. They were basic but good cars. I will own another at some point. I have a VW Polo now. :-D
my fiesta comes from koln in germany .did the engine came from spain?? since the removing of the airfilter the engine reacts much faster , may bee i put a short film of it on youtube , , i saw your coldstart of the polo , i will putt a cold start also on youtube , cheers!
I knew it was from the 1960s era, just couldn't think of who it was. Thanks for that. How is the old Fiesta going? Still on the road? I used to own a blue Ford Fiesta MK1 1.1L 1981. I miss that car very much. :-)
shadows are great! the fiesta is cool ,still starts in one time , although its very cold now. battery is good ,new sparkplugs . i only removed the airfilter now he has more air and preforms much better. (strange?) only the rust is a problem in the bottom of the car. dont now how long he will go one, but in july 2010 i own him 10 years .and in august he becomes 28 years hahaha, great car

@FordFiestaMK1 The engines were built in Spain and Germany I think. Google it and see what comes up.
