Btw any other Service Centre which is good other than the PJ one? I am thinking either Semangat Anggun Klang or the Puchong one... any remarks on these 2 Service Centre?

You can try Trio Mantap service centre beside MRR2 highway, been going there for a number of times and the service is OK.

Black color is actually awesome color, but on the road you don't see much impressive black car. I think is because lack of maintenance, or rather, hard to take care of.

by the way i heard black and white are equally hard to take care of, not sure if this is true.

My FF is the RED CANDY color.... to me on the road looks AWESOME!!!

By the Customer Service line. The SDAC PJ's service centre line is hopeless as most often I won't get through to the number even after trying for more than 10 minutes. I have to send a message to the branch manager to have them call me back.

The warranty thing is indeed very sketchy. From my conversation with the customer service, I was informed the warranty is 3 years/60,000km whichever comes first. But after I told the guy that mine is 5 years/100,000km, he then asked when I bought my car. He then acknowledged that cars bought after September 2012 are entitled to 5 years/60,000km warranty while those bought earlier are entitled to 3 years/60,000km warranty. Don't know whether it is true but all I know is the warranty is 5 years and not 3 years.

As for the wipers and brake pads warranty claim, will find out soon when either one wears out. According to one of my colleagues who owns the Ford Focus TDCI, the service advisor at SDAC PJ actually advised him to claim on the wipers FOC as the warranty on my colleague's car is going to expire. His warranty is 3 years as he bought the car sometime in 2009 or 2010. He didn't even know that he can claim on the wipers free of charge from the service centre.

Also, there was once when the service centre gave him a free battery even though the warranty on his car had expired long ago. A long story on this but he was really impressed with the PJ service centre.

Went to Trio Mantap at Ampang MRR2 on last weekend, check with the service department there and he says for Focus can claim wiper and brake pad before the 60K mileage. Only condition applies for brake pad, it must be less than 20% thinnest of the pad can be eligible to swap for new ones.

Guys,

Last week 1st time changed all 4 tires to Continental MC5 after clocking 53K mileage, the experience is quite impressive till now. Less hard ride and more comfortable when going through holes and uneven roads since the car has stiff suspension due to sports tuning. The price is a bit cheaper compare to Michelin PS3. Damage done inclusive installation is RM1950 at Lim Tire. Check out the specs below.

I guess you are driving the Focus hatchback. The Continental MC5 does not come in 205/60R16. Good to hear that the ride is more comfortable. The MC5 is supposed to be a soft and comfortable tyre.

Yup, i'm driving the sport +, 215/50R17

It is good that the Focus Sports hatchback comes in 215/50R17 which is a more common tyre where the size is more readily available. Unlike 205/60R16 which most tyre brands do not have. 205/60R16 is not available for Michelin PS3, and Continental MC5 also does not come in this size.

Too bad can't experience either the Michelin PS3 and Continental MC5 on the Focus sedan.

Is the MC5 good in handling? Usually quiet and comfortable tyres don't do too good in handling but if you don't often drive enthusiastically then that should not matter.

Have not yet tried taking sharp corners since i used mainly for going to office and sometime long distance journey. Since you mention it, maybe will drive more enthusiast this weekend cool2.gif

Has anybody got a message on your display "Key Battery Low, Replace Soon"? I got this message this morning, so I changed to the spare remote. Surprisingly, the spare remote also showed the same message when I started the engine. Coincidentally both remotes are low in battery, which is weird.

Will need to check with the service centre later. I presume we can only change the battery of the remote at the service centre and reset the electronics?
*
I got the same message also just before Raya this year. Both keys was having low batt, went to Trio Mantap in Ampang and they say you can just change the batt at any key/remote shop. You can even change it yourself once you get the correct batt size and power. I bought two batts and change it myself.

is it true that the new tcm update will result in reduced accelerating power?

No i dont i think so, last week my s+ broke down when suddenly it got no traction. So towed the car to ford Melawati luckily was nearby when it happen. Technician mention the car tcm not functioning and need to change. Now the car feel less jerking and I assume they changed the tcm with the latest version.

Did any of you guys managed to request new brake pads, new wipers or anything else during the last free service (6th service)? Will they change for you if the brake pads or wipers are still in moderately good condition?

I presume the brake pads, wipers or other stuff will not be replaced free of charge after the final 6th (free) service?
*
I only manage to change the wipers but not the brake pads. According to Trio Mantap SC, mine brake pads still above 60%.

Anyone knows if rear sensor for ABS is under standard or extended warranty? My car recently got msg saying "Active City Stop" and "Hill Assist" not available. So i send to Melawati Ford Service Centre for checks. Turn out need to change the sensor and will cost me RM418 including Labor+GST. They say will submit for extended warranty to Ford/Sime Darby Auto for approval and will take 1-2 weeks...then if dont want to wait can pay first and later reimbursed. Is this the right way?

Would like to check. This is the snapshot that I have taken from Google Maps. The Ford Trip Mantap service centre at Melawati Ampang is supposed to be in the image below, but instead of a Ford service centre, all I see is a Peugeot centre in the background.

Can anyone advise if this image from Google Maps is an old one and not updated? The Ford service centre is supposed to show in this picture isn't it?
