KatePocket Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm beginning to take disliking to my fiesta now...i am just having problem after problem and it's going to end up costing me an absolute fortune!! I'm driving to work this morning, and every time i am stopped the car is really juddering when i have it in first, the gears seems really stiff and when i set off from stationery it's really struggling to set off, as if i'm not giving enough gas or i'm in second (i'm not...!!) to me that would all suggest that something isn't right with my clutch? It's got progressively worse on my journey in and now i'm worried that i won't make it home :( anyone knwo what this problem is/what i can do? thanks!

KatePocket Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hiya, I know no one has replied to this, but i have more info so someone might be able to help now...! My normal mechanic has had a look at it now and says it might be a water leak, as it's really really hot, and the could explain the problems pulling away...any ideas now?! He says its probably best going onto the diagnostic computer again but i don't wanna get ripped off again...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I dont know much about mechanics so I cant be any help. Do you know anyone that works on cars? See if they can have a look for you, if not you might have to go and get it checked =/ doesnt look like anyone on here knows what it might be since noone has replied =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 it sounds like a problem with the clutch dragging, which could be a loss of fluid (check under hood for level) a faulty clynder or the clutch itself. i do not see how a water leak can stop a car pulling away?

MichellefromEssex Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I too cannot help you im afraid, I would find a small independant garage (not forumla one etc) and see what their diagnosis is, good luck hope you get it sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever ever go to formula one, ever! Not for anything! EVER! Steer well clear of them. Trust me on this Sad thing is they have some good mechanics working in some of their locations: talent wasted. (all in my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(all in my opinion) I'm running out of local garages...it seems everyone in my area is actually rubbish!! gonna try one near work which a collegue recommended later in the week, fingers crossed this'll be in and then my car will be perfect! thanks for the support guys :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_flame Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Just an idea, if you have breakdown cover can you call them out to have a look. When my fiesta was misfiring they plugged a code reader in before loading and took it to the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, i'd never have thought of that myself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
