somhairle Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 My daughter has a 58 Fiesta 1.4 Zetec and had it in for service today. The Ford dealer advised that she needed a number of things including a washer for her washer pump. Thye said there was a risk that water could get onto the plugs! This stumped me and the only thing that I could think of was the washer jet nozzle seal? Does anyone know what this problem could be? She has told them not to do the work. They wanted £30 for what seemed an unnecessary and costly job. They are also taking £54 for a set of plugs! Does that seem reasonable? Sounded a bit high to me but then the last time that I changed a set of plugs, they cost about £10 a set of 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
