Hewby45 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm being told that this is normal for my car (by Ford), though I don't believe this is correct, has anyone else had issues or should I believe what I am being told? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Moved to Fiesta Forum. I assume you have a Zetec S? Which engine are you referring to? Also what do you mean by lumpy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambooka Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If its a zetec s its a 1.6 either vct or tdci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewby45 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 It is a zetec s, sorry! It's a 1.6 ti-vct. It's lumpy when the revs pick up between 1500-3000rpm, when the car is in neutral. You feather the throttle between 1500-3000rpm and its noticeably lumpy. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewby45 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 By lumpy I mean a bit of a murmur, not smooth like all my other fords have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 it's done just over 37000 miles, serviced literally a week ago and does it when it is hot and cold, thanks Has it always done it, or only since the service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewby45 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't know as I have only just bought it. I just need to know if it is usual for this car to be like that or not, Ford are saying it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'd expect a diesel to be lumpyish but not a petrol... Can u get a second opinion from another ford garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsrelfy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi I would say it isn't normal. My zs has done 43000 and isn't lumpy at all. If its got warranty take it to ford. Regards Adrian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
