I have a Fiesta with 1.5tdci engine. I have put this in Focus forum as I know this engine is more common in Focus than in Fiesta.

I have a 2.5yr old Fiesta mk7.5 1.5tdci which is due a service immenently at 34,500 miles (it's out of sync as the first service was done 3k miles early when I bought the car - service interval is 12.5k miles).

It's inconvenient for me to get the service done at a garage due to my personal circumstances . I can do the stuff myself easily but that invalidates the rest of the 3yr warranty.

So I am trying to gauge what the chances of an issue arising in the next 6 months/8k miles that would have been covered by the warranty had I kept it valid (I have checked that there are no o/s recalls on this car).

So, what problems have people had in the 3 year warranty period that have been fixed under warranty?  Note that this is the 1.5 diesel and not a petrol ecoboost, I know the petrol ecoboost has had problems caused by split plastic cooling pipes and rusty cooling pipes on the turbo.

Please let me know what problems you have had, thanks

I'm almost on 60,000 miles with mine. Only issue I've had is a possible semi-blocked fuel filter at around 25,000 miles.

There was a recall on the cam sprocket which I've had done other than that no issues touch wood. Been an absolute joy of an engine.

Mine's 3 years old as of a couple of weeks ago.
