Brake bleeding forscan

1.6TDCI TURBO PROBLEMS? WHAT YEARS?
I usually use ID isetta but can't recall password and can't get password reset to work. However - I know that on Focus1.6tdci there has been a lot about turbo failure and then when turbo replaced it fails again. As the failure is caused by lack of oil to turbo bearings. And the cause of that is the oil feed pipe to turbo being gunged up. My question - was this overcome on later year cars due to a redesign or whatever? is there a year of car onwards that it is reasonably safe to ass
Fiesta Titanium Bluetooth/USB Not Working
I know this topic has been covered before but not sure if anybody ever came up with a solution. When phone is plugged into USB port it is not recognised and doesn't charge. bluetooth connection doesn't work either. Nothing happens when you press the AUX button. I had a dodgy battery and new one just fitted, so car has been powered down. I was hoping that this would sort out the problem but hasn't.
Need a good mechanic low prices

Reliability is not a word I would associate with the Mk4 Focus not in my personal experience anyway☹️ -
It's mad some of the graduate jobs there are out there. My dad works in the London underground and he said there was a graduate managerial job in the depot and that's £50k 😲. The mortgage advisor career I'm looking at going into the starting salary is good but after say 7 years experience could be earning around £70k+ depending on the company and number of clients you deal with monthly. There are some less known jobs like that which aren't as openly spoken about like doctors, dentists, accountants but help you be earning a good amount. Only thing I might hate is that estate agent jobs seem to typical be 9-6 or 7pm Monday to Friday with 2 Saturdays a month which seems too much. -

Fiesta Mk7.5 2014 Hi Liam, sorry for being direct but after I removed my headliner (well...lowered a few inches) to: check how/where the cables were (just curious) insert the OEM cable loom in the tailgate for the backupcamera (other project) attach dampening/sound deadening to the car roof/ceiling ...I found out that the 3-wire cable for the video signal is nog there. I used to have a chinese camera and put in some wiring myself. My question: do you have the schematic or ford-code of the wire running from the front to the back? Hope you can help me. -
