Topics I've Started

Tdci Cold Start

04 February 2012 - 07:38 PM

Hi folks, I've had my 1.4 tdci since December and up to now very pleased, we have had lot's of below zero mornings since I bought it and the car starts very well after a few turns, however Friday 3rd of Feb the gauge showed minus 8 and  after a few attempts the car failed to start , it was only when I sat back and thought BUGGER that I noticed a light on the dash that I hadn't seen before, and yes sure enough it was heater lamp warning that had not lit up before. So on waiting the few seconds for the lamp to go out tried to start it again and away it went no problem, the following day (today) it was minus 5 no heater lamp this time and the car started as normal, conclusion is that the heater plugs are not required except in extreme temps. Anybody else experienced this?
Cheers

Auto Fold Mirrors

08 January 2012 - 08:50 PM

Hi everyone,
I've had my Mk6 Zetec climate for about 6 weeks now, really getting to love it, the only problem that is bothering me is the auto fold door mirrors. When the car is set to lock and the mirrors fold automatically they fold in as they should,but then they appear to want to fold further than possible and a clicking gear type noise can be heard. I haven't had the opportunity to look further into this yet but judging by the noise they make I'd better look sooner rather than later. Any ideas what this could be and how to resolve this.
Cheers
Steve

Hi every body in Ford land, first time on here. Just bought myself a 2008 Fiesta Zetec Climate 1.4 TDCI in black which seems to be loaded with almost every option had it for 2 weeks now and without trying I am getting average 54.5 mpg which compared to my previous car Lexus is300's 23 mpg is outstanding. I may have a few little issues but at the moment it's nothing serious! and could just be me being new to the car.
Watch this space
