Hi all I’m the middle of tracing leaks on son’s fiesta. Have found what looks like a leak on each door . Has anyone replaced or sorted similar leaks. Any info or help appreciated
Maps/Sat Nav issue after Sync 4 OTA Update
Hi, I've had issues with maps randomly freezing since OTA update to Ford Power-up 4.2.2 last week. No pattern or error message, map just freezes and tapping on map display does nothing. If you switch screen to audio or other function then return to the home screen the map will re-load and work for a bit then freeze again, haven't tried factory reset of sync yet but may give it a go. Car is booked in to dealer next week to investigate, curious if anyone else has seen this issue.
Do I Have DPF
I’ve heard that some 2010 1.6TDCi have DPF and some do not. Can I tell from reg number if ours has one? I’m not familiar with these cars and DPFs can just look like a centre box. Im looking to remap the car so obviously if it has a DPF I want it removing before the remap.
Focus MK3/MK3.5 OEM Subwoofer
Morning all, Just wondered if anyone had any info. I've put Sync 3 into my 2012 MK3 and upgraded the ACM to one of the Z modules with a subwoofer plug on it. I'm tempted to try and get hold of a stock sub and wire it up. I can use epoxy and pins to create a connector if one isn't available but if a pre-made harness exists that would be much better... Does anyone know of the wiring pinout for this and/or the stock subwoofer? From what I understand, the sub-loom runs directly from t
MTX75 - Milky Oil 🐄
Just done an oil change on my MTX75 box and the old oil looks milky which I am led to believe means water contamination. The car previously blew a gearbox when I bought it which was then replaced by the used-car dealer. I'm assuming that this water ingress could be the reason for the previous gearbox failure. Does anyone know any common problems or things to check on these that could cause water ingress? (Mk2.5 1.8TDCi) I've attached a picture...
Engine Malfunction (P253F) Oil Deterioration (MK1 2.0 4x4)
So driving to work last week everything was fine when suddenly (ding dong) and engine malfunction shows up in display, car was driving fine so made it to work plugged in a reader that I had in the car and had the usual bit and bobs nothing that stood out as a problem except maybe; P253F Engine oil Deteriorated Restarted car and engine malfunction was still displayed, cleared codes and still on, so did an oil service reset (press accelerator and brake together and then put ignition on) wait

Yes the sensor that I put in it was £65 from GSF, that was in March (8k ago). Think first thing will be get some live data readings of the sensor and then reset the values with forscan and see if it comes back, forscan doesn't show you the soot %of the DPF or miles since last regen If I remember rightly ? I have forscan and vlinker cable and bluetooth. I cleared the code on Friday (200 miles) ago but know it will come back in the next 100 miles. The code is not specific for anything so its a guessing game.

My daughter has the Kuga AWD 2010 model which over the last year has thrown up quite a number of DPF related DTC's. I twice replaced the DPF pressure sensor (eBay £25) and the problem went away for a short while. Further investigation seems to suggest that the Chinese eBay sensors are the main cause of the DTC's. A genuine Ford sensor is £130 from the dealer. However, quality sensors are available from the likes of Bosch for about £70 and worth a try. I would also recommend using FORScan to read the DTC's (and clear them). Generic code readers mostly do not read the Ford specific codes.

Many of us have had problems trying to upload the log files. It seems the answer is to manually type in your VIN to the Ford site and not to login.
