Hi Guys, new to the Forum, but I've searched through a few threads, to do with Fiestas.
Out of frustration, for information, I purchased a month ago, an online Manual. This type takes you into the Ford Service site, and you can punch in the VIN of your car, and up comes the info etc. I've been hunting down oil changing info, including for the gearbox for the Fiesta, and quote the FORD SERVICE Tech Info "The gearbox has no drain plug, as it never needs to be changed". Experience with my sadly departed and missed, XR8 Tickford Ute, showed me that FORD's attitude to gearbox servicing, is not correct. My Ute had never had a service in it's first 80K of life, and the gearbox died on me at about 100Ks. The Auto guy, who rebuilt the 'box, said it was this belief, that no services were required, created a lot of work for him. Back in the 70s (yes, an old fart), the gearboxes were serviced once a year, and maintained, and you normally got 160Ks plus before repairs were done, autos or manuals. Just a few thoughts, Enjoy the drive. Chris W |
