Ford Festiva The Ford Festiva was introduced for 1988. Three trim levels were offered: L, L Plus, and LX. The Festiva's 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine switched from carburetion to fuel injection in 1989-90. For '90, a 5-speed manual transmission was standard and a 3-speed automatic optional. Festivas got a fresh grille and taillamps for 1990, and motorized front shoulder belts replaced manual belts.

Unhappy Oil in the water
I have a 1994 WB Festiva that has had oil in the water.
Last time we put a recon head on just in case, it probally was coming through
the oil gallery and the head gasket leaking.
Now 2000km later its doing it again.
Is this a known problem and how do I fix it?

you might need to get your head resurfaced, because it might be warped.

did you flush out all the oil out of your radiator?

I put on a reconditioned head so that should have been OK.
The system was flushed and it stayed clear for 2000km
Now it is turning the water in the overflow bottle into sluge
