Front Fog Lights

11 February 2013 - 09:39 AM

Could anyone tell me an easy way to change the bulb in the front fog of a 09 plate Mk 7 ? The handbook, whilst fairly helpful with other bulb replacement, simply says refer to your dealer which is a bit ominous. Advice appreciated.

Mk 7 Rear Bumper

01 January 2013 - 11:09 AM

Does anyone know if the 'black insert' in the lower part of the Mk 7 rear bumper is detachable ?  I have put a slight mark in mine through clumsy reversing (no reversing sensors !).  If it is detachable am I likely to get hold of one ?

Battery Problems

11 November 2012 - 08:46 AM

For the third time I've had the battery give up on me.It seems to just 'die' completely overnight without warning. Previous time it happened, about a month ago, I took it into Ford dealer as it is still under warranty (just) and they simply charged it (which I had already done) and said it was down to my short journeys. It failed again yesterday morning - I had been on a longish run the day before (in the daylight) even the dash lights wouldn't stay on ! I called the AA under homestart cover and they checked it out and got it going and said all seems to be ok but I suspect the battery isn't holding it's charge. It had gone down to 11 volts overnight so that can't be right in my reckoning. The 3 yr warranty runs out this month so I am hoping I can make them replace it under warranty. Is 3 yrs a reasonable life for a battery ?

Noisy 2.0L Diesel

11 October 2012 - 08:17 AM

I'm sure this has been aired before but I would just like opinions on my specific problem. My son has a '56' plate Mondeo estate with the 2.0 L TDCI 115ps engine. Ever since I've had it it it has been awfuly noisy on pick up from idle with a loud metallic rattle. Running at normal speed is perfectly quiet and significantly, it has done it for something like 40,000 miles now. Each time it has been into a garage for servicing or whatever, no mechanic has ever commented on it at all so I assumed it isn't too serious. I've read about the DMF issues but one mechanic did say when I asked that it was a pulley or something that comes loose. As I say it is really pronounced on pick up as if it were a loose exhaust for example but I'm sure it isn't. As it has run perfectly for so long I'm inclined to ignore it. Anyone any suggestions ?

Sensor Rattle - Again.

27 September 2012 - 08:17 AM

Sorry about this but someone described awhile ago with photos, how to get to the temp sensor in the dash as in some Titanium models it it vibrates against the trim causing an annoying rattle. Searched but can't find it now.  Can anyone point me in the right direction  please ?
