BlueBanS Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Welcome! What sort of age is the car Sam and what was the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinesamwise Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 2008 1.4 zetec My wife noticed when she was siting in passenger side that the side panel got hot and also she said found a pipe behind console which was also hot,she nearly burnt her hand. I put it down to an extremely warm day and air con needing re gassing, but after googling I am now confused. I am currently in two minds what to do, because I don't want to pull out of buying the car, but I don't also want a perminantly burnt leg. Is is this a known issue with Fiestas or just on this car I am looking at? can it be rectified? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurf1242 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 not too sure but some one else mentioned this the other day saying that they could feel the panel getting burning hot where they felt like they would burn there selfs they said they spoke to ford or a garage cant quite remember which said there isnt any heat proofing there and thats what causes the issue but only time iv ever heard of it was then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss max Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hello and welcome Sam Try posting this in the fiesta section. also maybe try running a search on your specific problem to see if anyone else has come across this. http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/forum/1-ford-fiesta-club/ You could and should mention this to the dealer your buying the car from.
