cappers Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 That's normal for a Turbo Diesel I'm afraid. Try to get the revs to 2500 (or even higher ;) ) before changing gear & make your gear changes as quick as possible to keep the revs high & reduce the turbo lag. This will of course use more fuel. As merlin also mentioned there can be quite a lag in 2nd before the turbo kicks in. This usually happens when slowing down to a speed not quite slow enough for first gear but with low revs. I find a little clutch control can build the revs back up. It's really just a matter of getting used to driving it as it can be quite different to driving a petrol powered car. Mine does that too. However, you are reassured with the nice whizzing noise of the turbo if you turn the stereo down. Bit of clutch control works a treat. just need to get used to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me just find the brillo pad and fairy washing up liquid ;) haha can you PM a list of what I need to get? was going to either make a trip to Halfords tomorrow or order it online.. Mine does that too. However, you are reassured with the nice whizzing noise of the turbo if you turn the stereo down. Bit of clutch control works a treat. just need to get used to it Yeah I did notice the noise it makes haha :) By the way I also noticed that once I turn the engine off theres like this weird noise, hard to describe but my dad said sounds like the car has a cuckoo in it goes on for about 5 seconds then stops...any ideas?? And again after a little while sitting in the car this this really loud noise coming from what sounds like the passenger side and centre behind the dash like a whirring/clicking noise for a bout 10-15 then stops..dont suppose that could be like a fan or something??

The first noise has been discussed on many forums but as of yet I've not seen anyone come up with an answer or explanation - rest assured it is normal though. The 2nd (whirring) is also normal - because you're all fancy and have climate control it's just the servos/motors going back to default position ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Bri Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Quick question (I'm sure there will be more), Does anyone who has a 1.6 TDCi find that when they change up a gear it feels like the car has no power then all of a sudden the turbo kicks in? Is it meant to do that? Just to put my mind at rest.. Thanks Yep, my 2011 TDCi does the same, pointless trying a quick start in 1st gear just dies after 2.5 thousand revs and then picks up again. Our 1.6 Focus diesel doesn't do it, I can only imagine it s becasue of the Fiesta's tiny turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmbrown91 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Yeah, the wait between the car being delivered and actually being able to pick up was torture..and that was only 5 days!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see...anyway sometimes it happens and I've learned during the years that patience is a key to many doors... :) I will post many pictures after I get a spin with the car ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan9684 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 You would think the small turbo in the fiesta would spool quicker than a larger turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
