Service query

Featured Replies

Hi just joined and have a query. Had my Fiesta serviced and m.o.t.'d  last week, no problems flew it. Garage rung and said service advisory was to get engine flushed apparently this is needed every 2 years to suit Fords requirements or whatever? Had it done along with pollen filter changed and also brake fluid drained and renewed. Is the engine flush necessary? Read somewhere before that its not really needed these days and it could do harm to and rubber seals or whatever in engine??



What year is your car? Unless you're from the future it's not 2019 (as on your profile) lol.

Quite a few people on here say coolant flushes aren't necessary and can dislodge any of that buildup which can block the coolant passages. 2 years seems frequent though. I always thought it was more like 5.

Good spot changed it now. Its a 14 plate. Yeah just engine flush i mentioned not coolant,ah well its been done now hopefully do the car more good than bad. 

Unless you're stupid low mileage, or its missed a service or two, its a waste of your time and money, both engine flush and coolant.
