piwko2006PL Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi mates! As you can see I'm a new user of you board. I hope you will understand my !Removed! bad English (I'm from Poland ;)). So I also have a Ford car. I'm a very big fan of these cars. I own Ford Fiesta MK 6 produced in 2007 so, it's a face lifted model. I have few questions for you. Do your fiesta squeak inside ? I mean the doors are squeaking. I think the exact producers of this unpleasant noise is door seal. Could you tell me how to solve this problem ? The next question is about the gears. Sometimes I have a problem with shifting in to first or reverse. The reverse is cracking rarely, but it is. I will be very graceful for your every suggestion in these problem, which I have. At all this car is great. Small TDCi engine provides enough performance in urban conditions, but it lacks power at highway speeds ( 130 km/h in Poland ). All suggestions/opinions are welcome. :) P.S. Sorry for my language again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_P Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Yeah ford build quality resulting for the squeeking! Ive got a few on my st im gonna try and sort at the weekend so ill report back. As for the gearbox you say "cracking" but i presume you mean grinding in reverse. I had this problem until a ford technician told me just to hold the clutch in wait 5 seconds and it goes in grind free :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I think all Fiestas are born to squeak As for the grinding, agree with Jack_P although mine was really bad, I managed to push the dealer to replace and have had no problems since.

MrrNoName Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I had the reverse problem on my fiesta for the whole time I owned it :P I used to double pump the clutch "clutch in, clutch out, clutch in, select reverse" gave the sync a double kick to the correct speed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_P Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I think i may need a new gearbox soon anyway, ill update if/when it gets sorted. Darn crappy ST boxes :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
