- Ford Fiesta 2011
Sup guys, I have a 2012 1.6 fiesta. Decided to go ahead and swap out the alternator, water pump, wires, plugs. I swapped out the water pump and the alternator, drove around, everything felt good. swapped out the plugs and wires, started the car and it sounded good. Then I went upstairs, came back to go for a drive and it started acting weird, like it wouldn’t start and the motor was shaking. Then my dumbass forgot to tighten up one of the coolant hoses so coolant exploded everywhere ( this might be relevant later) i reinstalled the old plugs and wires thinking that was it then I tried cracking it and it sounded like a bad cps. Swapped that out nothing but then it sounded like a dead battery with a rapid tick tick, so I jumped it and nothing. Tried again this time pumping the gas pedal and it started. White smoke coming out the pipe and a weird noise off the alternator. let me know what you think… I’m thinking the alternator took a shit and the white smoke is because all the coolant blew up all over. No white smoke before but it was having issues starting where I had to pump the gas pedal….
