mags Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 hi ya can anyone tell me if you think this is right i have a fiesta 1.4 style tdci i had the no2 injector seal replaced in feb last year and ive just have had to have a new injector fitted no2 + seal no3 there all so the inlet manifold was blowing so it put soot in the cambelt cover and that had to be changed as well . this car has been serviced on time by fords everytime it was only serviced 5 weeks ago ive just had a bill for £1334.46 for this work above i no its out of warranty but the car has only done 37059 mile do you think if i complain they would pay a tokon payment i think this is discusting for a car which has done so little miles :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Is it under warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Is it under warranty? On a 2006 Fiesta it wouldn't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Gotta love how I realised after I asked that the year was on the left >_> and that he said about warranty, I'm clearly with it today. You can try and have a moan and a groan at them, but it might not get you too far, companies never like paying out unless they absolutely have to, Trading Standards may know a little more on the matter however.

Amy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 we had a 2007 plate 1.4 diesel plate in the other week, completely the same as your one i;m afraid and I know the dealers here would think its a common problem especially on the 1.4 and 1.6 models, so probably wouldn't offer any goodwill. The inlet manifold on this particular one was also clogged solid too. Gotta be worth a try though, you won't get if you don't ask :) Good luck!

btmaldon Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I get the impression that the modern diesels dont like short trips. Low miliage ones clog up so easy. My mate has just paid out £3.2k having his Clio engine rebuilt. Hes a window cleaner and the garage said for short runs, stop, start all the time, he would have been better off with a petrol. The old diesels never had a problem, but they didn't drive anywhere as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
