old cruiser Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Anyone notice with their 1.25 MK6 that upon normal pull away there seems to be a slight lack of throttle response, on that initial throttle opening as it were, where the car could easily(and has done)stall, so you just have to give it that extra bit of throttle.

Jambo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 yeppp. i got that on my mk6 55 plate fiesta, and was the reason why i traded it in back to ford to swap it for a 07 plate 1.4 and an then swapped that back for my latest new 58 plate fiesta.. with more power an more gadgets I'm just wondering... with all this swapping for newer models you've been doing... has it hit your wallet hard? I was under the impression that once your car has left the garage it's value goes down £1000! The reason i ask is because i bought a Ford Fiesta a couple of months ago and im already bored of it. I would like something else but i don't want to go taking it back and losing a grand or more ! then have to pay the extra money for a better car!

Stephanie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Yeh i have an 07 fiesta 1.25 and have had that exact same problem. Good to know that I am not the only one having it though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec521 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Mine's happening only in 2nd gear. Never on the 1st, 3rd,etc...My solution: Use the first gear up to 3000rpm before shifting to 2nd, thus gaining more momentum to the car. Flat spot no more.
