Topics I've Started

Spongy Brakes

04 April 2013 - 06:42 PM

Hi
I have a 2010(60) 1.4 tdci mk7 and I've noticed that I seem to have to press the brake a lot further before the brakes react than what I do in similar new cars. In fact I test drove a 62 plate b max the other day and my head hit the steering wheel when I braked! The braking effort seems fine it's just that the first half of the pedal seems to do nothing whereas other cars seem to react even if you push the brake pedal a millimeter.

I've recently had new pads which hasn't seem to have made any difference.

Does anyone know what might be wrong? I've just had a service 3 weeks ago and the cars still under warranty

Thanks

Mk7 Oil Leak

08 March 2013 - 12:29 PM

Hi

i took my 2010 1.4tdci Mk7 in for it's third service recently and was told they had spotted an oil leak.  Apparently it's from a washer of some sort, but i've now been told it's in an inaccessible place and they'll need the car for 2-3 days as the "engine needs to be stripped down"

 

Any idea what part they might be referring to?  I've not seen any leaks under the car

 

cheers


Mk7 Heater Blower Broken

26 October 2012 - 01:54 PM

Hi
I have a Mk7 1.4 tdci, 2010.
On the driver's face blower (to the right of the steering wheel), normally the two 'flaps' (not sure what to call them) both move when you move them to close the blower.

I closed the blower the other day and apparently there is a plastic clip which keeps them together, this broke off and went down inside!! Now the two black flap things move independently of each other and the piece has disappeared somewhere.

I wasnt forceful with it, I just moved it and it broke. If I turn the blowers on full the broken clip blows back up but i can't get it out because there's a plastic grid and i can't get my fingers in to get it out :(

What can I do? The car is under warranty but knowing Ford they will probably just think I was too heavy handed with it and broke it.

Should I get them to look at it??

thanks for any help
