Erratic torque delivery after new actuator

[M-Sport fan]

Some of the Millers Oils they get there are pretty great.

Hmmmm? Glad you got your problem solved for now. However, those cam followers are not “wear” items that need replacement, UNLESS there is a problem with the motor oil. I don’t know the quality/availability of synthetic oils there, but it needs more zinc for those high/pressure lubrication points. What oil you running?

Hi forzda, I am running Castrol edge 5w30 fully synthetic in mine. Only had it changed about 1500 miles ago, get it changed every 4-5k miles. I bring it to the Ford dealership every 8k-10k miles for service history for resale and go to another garage for the ones in-between. When I bring it to Ford, they put in Castrol magnatec 5w30 start/stop fully synthetic. But I provide the oil for the other garage.

The fact it's sorted for now is good enough for me as it just passed our NCT - national car test and is deemed in good condition by our government. I've been talking to two dealers about trading mine in for possibly a mk8 fiesta st3 5 door and something else.
