my current average fc is 9.7L/100km....but it's slowly improving every 1000km, hopefully after the 10k service, i can get better fc.
But honestly, i'm not hoping much since my place got no highway, 100% stop and go traffic  |

Guys....Can I go service my fiesta even though i haven't reach 10000km yet? Because the voucher says, maintenance interval : 10000km or 6month. I got the car for almost 6 month now but millage rite now is around 5100km. So no harm going for a maintenance service, rite?

QUOTE(Dias @ Aug 11 2011, 10:58 AM) Fans are welcomed as well. thanks a lot bro It is 6 months or 10k km, whichever comes first. So it's okay to go for servicing even before clocking 10k km. Did mine at 7.8k km.   will probably send my car to service this saturday  |

Guys...my headlamp have water mark inside it, went to sc last saturday to do my 1st service and also to check on the headlamp, it turns out that there's another fiesta at that time facing the same problem. The sc took some photos of the headlamp and will send it to autoconexion, hopefully they'll replace it with new ones. Has anyone here experience the same thing?

QUOTE(alexng2208 @ Aug 18 2011, 04:57 PM) When i got my car, the ride was harsh due to the translation of road imperfections into the car. On normal smooth highways and its fine but then on imperfect roads its really bad.. thinking its part and parcel of the "sports" suspension, i let it be. My tyre pressure was also well over 40psi when i first got it, and I only notice it after 4 month. Damn, all the while i thought the harshness was because of the sport suspension last night i wanted to check my tire pressure, and i filled it to 225 kPa which is roughly 33Psi. but the tires were all 300 kPa on average OMG... super over inflated!!! |

Guys...i'm experiencing something weird when ever I fully turn my steering to the left or to the right, they'll be a "tuk" "tuk" sound which I think coming from the driveshaft. And there's also a slight juddering feel on the steering. Now, that's not suppose to be normal, rite? Anyway, I think I'll go to the SC tomorrow to check on it and also to check on my headlamp replacement.

QUOTE(aizad02 @ Aug 19 2011, 11:56 AM) This problem, i'd told sdac pj bout this and then he said it's a known problem and they'd forward this problem to ford thailand. That's all. anyone able to solve this problem on ur own arr? i think sdac's not very helpful in this case. so u also had this problem? it's not actually that bad, but it's really annoying. I mean, the SC mechanic should know what causes the problem |

QUOTE(John91 @ Aug 22 2011, 10:53 PM) Stuff I have modded to resolve this problem is... changing spark plugs, adding voltage stabilizer+ grounding and also electronic throttle controller from Bug Auto. bro, did it manage to resolve the jerking problem?I see from your pic that you're using erictioh's vs, i'm using the same thing and it really does help to smoothen the gear change but didn't really manage to to get rid of the jerking. |

QUOTE(John91 @ Aug 23 2011, 09:36 AM) Keen eye hehehe, just noticed it...anyway, I only installed a vs because I also couldn't find a good grounding point. I agree that the jerking become lesser and the acceleration become smoother, also I've notice that the aircon becomes cooler as well. You did both grounding and vs? I have a bit of jerking sometimes but its much less compared to the last time without any mods. The change of spark plugs help, also the "Electron Power" plug cables which act as a VS helps too. I think if more grounding points are added it would be better as eric only managed to find 3 points for fiesta 1.6. I would prefer 5 points though. |
