i dun understand some ppl y go for dual clutch before understand how it works, the clutch is the problem when gearbox heat up especially in Malaysia weather and traffic condition, so far almost all MK3 owner with "new version" clutch replaced is positive with it
my mileage only clocked 12k, i can achieve 220km/h but probably speed cut and can't go beyond that speed limit, on second day morning ya.. it get more violence on the acceleration but it'll get better after a while "The downside with fast-shifting DCTs is that at lower speeds they tend to jerk and lurch around." http://www.caradvice.com.au/278721/transmi...v-cvt-v-others/ For any who prefer not join any car club or community, let me tell you I have join most of the car clubs in Malaysia, there are more major problem happening compare to MK3, if need help or get latest information join the group, they are working very closely with Ford to sort things out QUOTE(madman7028 @ May 17 2015, 10:33 PM) My baby born in 2012 & registered in 2013. Still using the original clutch but i do monitor closely for any leak. Got used to the clutch behaviour at the moment(slight jerking and occasional grinding especially when going up hill slowly). My observation is that every time when i really "push" hard, the heavy jerking and grinding will occur within the next few days. It will normally happen only once or twice, then it will be back to normal. Till now i have restrained from changing the clutch(touchwood) as i like the oomph when changing gears as a few review mentioned that feeling is less after the clutch replacement. Maybe before my warranty expires. My previous 2 cars were manuals, i guess that's why i have a higher tolerance on the jerking and grinding Before confirming on the focus, tested extensively on altis2.0, civic 2.0, Mazda 2.0 and Kia 2.0. Made the decision not to worry about RV and enjoy the driving experience for at least 5 to 7 years. No regrets at the moment |

QUOTE(R3negade @ May 25 2015, 09:21 PM) Hi guys, i'm not an very active member in lowyat, but i had some problem regarding my Ford Fiesta, Hope you sifus here can help. Recently my family are traveling aboard and the last free service provided by Ford is on the date where my family is not in Malaysia. Now that they are back, my dad went on to Ford dealership to make an appointment with Ford for servicing, and the Service Adviser told my dad that the date are due and they are not doing any free service for it, if we want to service we have to pay an extra 400++ for that. The car was like few thousand miles away from the mileage they provided, just the date has pass, it's true that we have to pay the 400++ for the service now or are they trying to con us, Ford never mention this. Is there anyway i can file a complaint to??? Help needed, thanks in advance.. |

the door speaker can't handle heavy bass, once u drive faster the adaptive volume will adjust to higher to match ur speed, so i think u try turn down the bass
QUOTE(pin86 @ May 26 2015, 11:48 PM) I am not sure if the system adjust accordingly to the speed. But from my ears and my wife's ear, it is definitely not because of adjustment. It feels like the system is running out of breath During normal driving or idle, the sound is great to me. The problem is only during high speed cruising. May be problem unique to my car I set it to Pop also Oh... I set the bass with few clicks higher than neutral. |

lol well said, what u said is true, if want comfortable city drive just take the conventional auto
oil seal leak is old and its ald rectify long time ago, other than that no issue ald wei where to find a car model can be so reliable like this? Or mayb drive shaft for certain batch got call back for free replacement.. anyway u'll still curse and regret buying it when driving in slow traffic and bad roads, after that u'll start to love it again and grin when the road is clear, Focus owner got mental problem one I tell u QUOTE(gtiwtks @ Jun 1 2015, 09:44 AM) If your daily driving routine involved a lot of stop/ go and traffic jam, wouldn't recommend you to take up the focus actually.... better go for conventional auto g/b.... New focus dry dct are not really heat proof.... once heat up it will misbehave.... then start the judder/noise and ultimately oil seal leak... LOL.... Just my 2cents.... Other owner don't shoot me ya.... |

no sure if this the problem, once i was told a cable under the hood have design flaw and touching sharp edge of the engine, after sometime it'll damage the cable causing all sort of electronic errors, no harm try a look at it..
QUOTE(jameshy @ Jun 18 2015, 07:02 PM) Bought in on Jan 2012. before face some issue on clutch replacement, and failure on parking sensor, all this problem took a week for repair, but it is still in my acceptance limit. But this latest issue, my tolerance is gone. As the service center and careline feedback, nobody know how to proceed now, the car is parked outside on the roadside and waiting for technical center feedback. Attached thumbnail(s) |

i wouldn't say loss power, u step hard, engine rev high, flywheel need to sync with the clutch, u r expecting a delay for it to grip the clutch everytime, different to auto's torq converter.
QUOTE(SportyHandling @ Jun 24 2015, 09:00 AM) My car is currently showing more serious jerking now at low speed acceleration, likely the clutch has showed higher deterioration in terms of oil leakage or something else. Also, there is a loss in power during hard acceleration. When I step on the pedal, there is little torque as the car does not lunge forward as it used to. The engine revving is loud when I step on the pedal, but the car does not show the power and torque to accelerate or lunge forward on several occasions. In other occasions the car shows the usual strong acceleration as the gear downshift and the car lunges forward. The performance of the car goes up and down. As my car is now showing more jerks now, I called the customer service yesterday to find out the status of the clutch replacement. Apparently there is currently a shortage in spare parts as they are importing the clutch from Thailand and USA. They are expecting the clutch to arrive the earliest by first week of July. |
