Coming to work this morning in rainy weather, suddenly got a high revving sound while in low gear and this message : Transmission Malfunction, Service Now.

Possibly TCM or Clutch? 2010 Fiesta, first batch then...

1st suspect TCM..i already changed my TCM oso..

Hmm the SDAC Service Centre so funny...said wait one hour to see if the error light goes off or not, if it doesn't appear again, due to traffic jam overheating the clutch.

unless its long hours traffic jam ok la... normal jam should be no issue... normal it will lit if prolong hill climb

Were you in a traffic jam?

Standard going to office jam....never seen it light up though.

Just went to start up the car......no transmission error message but the engine/system warning light is up on the meter dashboard. Have to send in for diagnostics I guess.

Yep, better just sent it in.

You have the 10yr warranty for the TCM?

No idea, was there a notice of this? I only saw from Google that it was announced by Ford overseas?

You should received a letter to that effect. If you haven't, try calling SDAC customer service and ask if your car is covered.

Well, SDAC called me back and my car is ready. According to them, TCM fault and changed the unit. No charges I presume since they didn't mention anything.

Steering wheel issue solved liao, yup steering coupling loose already.

hey guys, just wondering, ford fiesta uses timing chain or belt.?

belt.

belt, submerged in oil. Supposedly it can last as long as chain, but just follow the service schedule to be safe

Only Ecoboost is submerged in oil. The 1.4 1.5 1.6 NA Mills are just normal timing belt like....ermm.....Campro.

Eh? oops, my bad

Guys, what tyres u all using? I'm still on my stock conti contact 2. Noisy as hell. What are good quiet ones? I don't race so I can compromise performance for comfort.

Based on tire shop suggestion....Michelin XM2 and Continental CC6.

Bear in mind these tires are quiet when new, but as it wears down it will become noisier.

But yea the stock Continentals are very noisy. So much so at one point I suspected it was my wheel bearing kong and asked the SC to check it. The SA tell me to change tire lol

After changing my TCM, the acceleration feels sluggish compared to previously. Have to ask the SC to check again on my next service I guess...that's what I really don't like about SDAC, always need a follow up to clear up the issues.

Side note, anyone noticed the sales volume for Ford in the 1st quarter of 2017? 100+ passenger cars only in the 3 months
