Amsoil or Mobile 1 are excellent,can't go wrong! Keep to recommended viscosity.

yeah agree BHP is the best.
but Shell dynaflex also not bad, engine very smooth.

hi guys,

recently my fiesta got humming sound from front driver side wheel. based on my reading on internet, i learned that the wheel bearing may be the cause. anyone replace the bearing before? need to know how much it cost.

thanks

BHP97 FTW

Hi Everyone !!

I thinking to buy a second hand Ford Fiesta EcoBoost 1.0 2014, but I notice that many members are reporting gearbox issues and jerking at lower speed ,, etc ,, my daily commute is about 50km ,, my concern is ,, will the FF gonna be worthy reliable !?

or other option to get Proton iriz 2017 1.6?

thanks in advance

so long its still under warranty should be fine, alas want trouble free car (according to master dex) get toyota/honda

My daily commute is also 40km +/- one way. My car's gearbox is working just fine since I travel highway almost 80% of the time which would wear out the gearbox slower than driving the car in city.

The ecoboost variant have less to none of the gearbox problems. It's the 1.6 & 1.5 a bit problematic.

read the pros and cons of this thread first.
if you can accept them then buy.
IMHO Ecoboost 1.0 is a worthy buy if you can find a well priced second hand.

My choice would be Iriz.

Power & handling are almost equal, Fiesta may have the edge. 2014 vehicle will have some wear & tear issues. Long term maintenance will be high on this engine, since only 1000cc & extracting quite a bit of hp.

Iris being new will have warranty coverage. NA will be cheaper to maintain on long term. The 1.6engine will not be working as hard. Handling quite respectable! FC may be marginally higher, eco boost engine is more efficient.

thanks everyone for your feedback 🙌

Do tell us which u picked & why?

long term maintenance is higher but i can tell you that it is worth it for driving a turbo.
the only added maintenance is just the turbo unit when it dies.

not when, it's if it even dies

wear and tear parts will die sooner or later.
FYI a can turbo spool up to 150,000 rpm, normally its 100,000 rpm.
thats why the turbo unit is the first part that will most likely to go first.

the feeling when the boost kicks in hhnnnnnnnnngh!

Once taste a turbo, there's no turning back....lol!

As long as one is aware and prepared for higher maintenance cost on long term, then it's fine. General wear & tear will also be higher on a Turbo engine than a NA.

One is a fun choice, the other a safe choice, which one do you want?

Actually Iriz can also be fun, the only buzz kill is it's a CVT. If you can find a used MT 1.6 Iriz, grab that and don't look back. (heck even the 1.3 MT Iriz is no slouch at all.)

Siape tu

Driven normally, modern turbos don't die easily, just follow the maintenance schedule, feed it good oil, some preventative maintenance. Oh turbo cars would benefit greatly from Oil Catch Tanks also, tho that would be an aftermarket part and kacau warranty.

Of course if you hari2 overboost 20 times, both your turbo and engine also die faster
