ChrisZetecS Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Right, yesterday I did the 'find your dealer' search on the Mountune site, and because I'm from north Wales my nearest Mountune approved dealership was Polar Ford in Warrington. I rang up the dealership and the lady on the reception desk had no idea what Mountune was/meant .. she put me through to sales who then put me through to service dept (but there was no reply). So basically my question is this.. as Mountune is based in Essex and too far for me to go down to, is it still possible to contact Mountune themselves to book my car into one of the approved dealers, and will these approved dealers have Mountune demo cars? Hope this makes sense, and thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium_s_spec Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 no the dealers will not have a mountune car and you need to speak to the service dept and the said garage should have a trained mountune technician who should no what you are on about..........

ChrisZetecS Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Okay thanks. Are you able to test drive a Mountune Fiesta at Mountune then?? I don't think I'd wana pay for the upgrade and later not think it's worth it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium_s_spec Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 best speak to mountune about that.... it's worth the money for the exhaust note that comes out the back......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisZetecS Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 What's the loudness like? I do alot of bypass/motorway driving, how loud is it cruising compared to the standard exhaust? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichellefromEssex Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 At this present time I am so annoyed with Mountune that I think anyone considering the Mountune upgrade should keep their money in the bank and be happy that their car is still a safe car to drive in, because since having mine done its turned it into a death trap!

ChrisZetecS Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'm definately thinking about the exterior pack though Michelle (yellow stripes and mirror caps), regardless of whether i get the upgrade, because ever since buying my car I wish I got it in a less boring colour lol. I guess it'd make my car stand out abit more Do you think it'd suit my car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichellefromEssex Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 you should have had it done at pumaspeed thats what i did :)...and its cheaper too for the same parts and it works lol affects your warranty though, the reason you have no trouble is because you have not had no ECU changes is that correct? had mine done in April when there was nothing else on the market. Been back to Mountune today, my replacement wheels have not arrived and the ETIS ford file is incorrect so cannot be loaded onto my car!

titanium_s_spec Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 perhaps you should of had it done at a ford dealer seems they are the one's holding onto the ecu upgrade :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichellefromEssex Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 perhaps you should of had it done at a ford dealer seems they are the one's holding onto the ecu upgrade :unsure: That is so incorrect, no ford dealer has the new file in their hands at present.

titanium_s_spec Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 That is so incorrect, no ford dealer has the new file in their hands at present. so why apart from the sensor failing my car is fine ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichellefromEssex Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 so why apart from the sensor failing my car is fine ... Because your car hasnt been Mountune chipped, the file that Fords are releasing isnt just a standard Ford Fiesta ECU upgrade, its one that is for the Mountune 140BHP chip. I paid £1,299 for the pleasure of power loss, believe me if there was a solution available right here right now I would have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSM123 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 so why apart from the sensor failing my car is fine ... Im presuming Mountune themselves have told you your problem is the sensor failing? If this was the problem why would they of not told me and Michelle this? Like i said in the other post all i can think of is that your local ford dealer are just trying to fix the problem themselves instead of contacting Mountune.

Its all getting confusing really, your problem is obviously different to mine and Robs. Hopefully I will have a result in the next few days.

TonyEssex Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 i want the mountune upgrade, after getting fed up with kids wanting to race me, and finding the fiesta is not quick enough, unless you are canny with how you slip in and out of traffic but till mountune sort all these issues out that people are having then im not going to give them any cash I did send them an email a few weeks back asking if the power loss issue had been resolved but have heard nothing back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulworthing Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 That is so incorrect, no ford dealer has the new file in their hands at present. OMG - you still having problems then Michelle - I was haoping, that having been away for a couple of weeks and with things apparently moving forward, that you would have had it all sorted by now!
