Gaz2581 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hi all, this is my first post and I would like some advice if that’s ok? I’m thinking of buying a Fiesta 1.4 TDCI, manual, 5 door Zetec or Ghia on a 55/06 plate, only I would like to know if there is anything I should look out for whilst looking for one? Like when should the cam belt be changed and how much will it cost to get it replaced? This will be a second car (the work horse) as we are planning on having kids sometime soon and our first car is a Focus ST500! And would like another car to keep the miles down + if I have to go to places that I don’t want to take the ST500 the Fiesta would be great! The reason I want a 1.4 TDCI is because of the tax! (A 1.4 TDCI will cost £35 a year) I don’t want another tax/thirsty motor! As the ST500 will be £300 a year tax and is £65 a tank of BP super unleaded fuel, which she drinks in like no time! Any advice would be great, thank you for your time Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikos Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hello and welcome to the club mate I believe the cambelt is 60,000 or 6 years. Dont think it is a huge job and so probably looking at £200. Just look out for normal things like you would any car, not sure if there are any common problems with the fiesta.
