Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi 68 Zetec

The wife purchased the lime 12.09 model in Jan 2010,This has been a lemon ,leaving a sour taste in our mouths, The car has done 22000Kms and the clutch slave cylinder has bitten it, constantly buying tail light bulbs and fuel economy was never anything fantastic.

The cars ride and handling are very good as are other features.

Just makes me so angry when something so simple a slave kit change for under $100 turns into a $1200 job just so Euro Ford can save a couple of bucks in manufacture ,and they have the nerve to charge $600 for a clutch kit, it stinks and we will never buy a ford again...We should have them up for recall for defective engineering...you know what Iam going to look into it.

I have an 09 fiesta 1.4TDCI zetec with 68,000 miles on the clock.

Ihave yo say that it is a very reliable car that constantly returns 62MPG according to the computer.Not the fastest off the blocks but you cant have it both ways. The key is to service in accordance with Ford service manual.

to put it brief: bought 58 plate from ford dealer, got to 49000 miles needs a new engine ford say 'it's one of those things'. its my 2nd ford and thats me done! i had a 55 plate fiesta before and at 50000 miles the clutch and gear box went in the same month, followed by head lights and break lights going one after another.

Its an awesome car with killing looks and design. Fuel Consumption is also good. Would like to recommend it to anyone bachelor or with a small family/.

hie the product is good. afmdafafi dansosdfsfns f NFOINDSOANDFN NUFUNDnfuain fNIFDNFIDSNF Nwi fninfasfnu anifenfusfuiui fiufdisnfin fiRUEN NI Fin

I recently purchased a one year old Fiesta with just 2500 miles on the clock. Having had a Vauxhall Vectra Diesel which with my style of driving and doing 70 miles each day on the motorway I could get approx 55 mpg.

I was expecting to get the claimed 67 mpg that Ford say is possible. The best I can attain is 1 mpg less than the Vectra 54 mpg and that is not going over 65 mph and carefull acceleration etc in town. Big dissapointment.

I bought this £6500 5 door 1.4TDCI Fiesta Zetec from a main Ford dealership in York with only 24k on the clock. Just after six months(now out of warranty)it developed a water leak which after investigation from my own garage, turned out to be an "octopus" shaped hose made of plastic, deep inside the engine bay which had been rubbing on an adjacent component.There was that much stripping down that I ended up with a bill for £178. More recently at only 40k miles, the turbo failed,landing me with a bill for just under £1000. Needless to say, Ford didn't want to know.I had to get rid and have just part exchanged for something very Japanese. The Fiesta looks good, handles great and is terrifically economicaly, but it's crammed engine bay makes repairs difficult and time consuming, resulting in high labour costs, even for the simplest of repairs. For me, the reliability just isn't there. I should have understood what my mechanic said when I first presented him with this Fiesta when he responded, "what on earth have you bought that for ?"

I have a ford fiesta diesel, model 2005.

A wonderful car on its own. Only problem is that once the faults pop up, they never stop.

I got some work from a local garage on my power steering pipe. During this work, mechanic had to get the engine partly down. After he finished the work and i took the car back home, I started guessing that there seems some funny noise as if there is a leak in some gasket kind.

Now, the noise like," tcheek tcheek tcheek" keeps coming from the engine side and a bit smell of the exhaust fumes too inside my car.

Today finally, my car stops when driving and I stop accelerating. It stays ON when revving the engine and stops after stopping the revving.

Can anyone tell me what is to be done and wat seems to be the fault???

Has it anything got to do with my coolant also getting drained everyday, as that is one more big problem I faced for a year up....

Awaiting some genuine and clever updates

my fiesta is a 1.4diesel withonly 42,000 miles on the engine, it has suffered major internal engine damage is beyond repair and fords wont do anything so be warned buy a diesel you may not reach 45000 miles in it.this is my 9th ford and my last
