20 plate 155 mhev.

[dav150n]

Hi all. 
Newbie here. Tried searching but no results returned. 
I am buying a 20 plate ST Line X Edition on Friday and have a couple of questions. 
Should it come with a user manual and service book or is it all on line now??

Am I right in thinking the sub for the b&o system is now in the rear panel of the boot and not in the spare wheel well?? 

After many years owning predominately VAG cars are there any coding mods like there is with them via OBD port??  
 

Any help on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.

2020 is the switch over point, could be either, pop the boot floor up, if it's there you know, if it isn't, it's in the side wall

FORScan can activate features, plus lots more.

Loads of stuff on the MK8 Fiesta on the FORScan Forums, register and have a look, buy the recommended V-Linker or OBDLink-EX cable

Thanks for the reply Dave. Eased my mind with regards to the sub. It definitely doesn’t have a user manual or service book just a couple of receipts to say services have been carried out 🫣. I will have a look on that forscan forum that you mentioned too, thanks again.

I have an idea that 2020 was about when Ford discontinued printed handbooks though I recall a few people saying they got one after that, presumably old stock at dealers.

Apparently you can get one of you wish (at a price) via the link here:

According to Ford's website paper service books were only discontinued in 2022, though I'm sure members have reported earlier dates?

How do I find my vehicle’s service history?

Depending on the age of your vehicle, its service history may be found online via your Ford Account and FordPass* app. All Ford vehicles sold since 2022 have been supplied with a Digital Service Record. Older vehicles were supplied with a printed service book. 

Authorised Ford service technicians and mechanics may be able to source your vehicle’s servicing and maintenance records, although this is dependent on the processes implemented by the individual service provider. 

How to access your vehicle’s service history online

You can access your vehicle’s service history by clicking the Service History tile within Ford Account. Here you will be able to see details of previous services, including dates, locations, services completed and other useful information from your vehicle's history. 

How to access your vehicle’s service history via the printed service book

We always recommend that sellers pass on the supplied printed service book to a vehicle’s new owner. If you did not receive the service book with your vehicle, we would suggest contacting your seller.

In the November 2019 Price list/order guide the sub-woofer was shown as in the sidewall of the boot.

Spark plugs & air filter every 4 years or 36k.

Pollen filter is recommended at every scheduled service.  So every 2 years on these.  Though some people prefer to have them done every year.

I've just stuck with genuine parts for the last few years tbh.  Can usually find them cheap enough on eBay or even direct from dealers.  In reality it doesn't matter much though.  Just make sure the oil is absolutely the correct spec to reduce the risk of damage to the oil pump belt.
