Re: Dash rattle

Yeh, I've got a rattle behind the glove box and I can't seem to sort it. I'm beginning to think it's the linkage on the side of the heater, it's driving me nuts!

Econetic Fuel Consumption

OK I know it's a bit of a grey area but just what sort of consumption figures should I be getting from this car of mine? I hope someone from Ford Motor Company sees this because to say the least I am one unhappy customer . The reason we purchased this Fiesta 1.6 Econetic was the amazing fuel consump...

Re: Econetic cooling fan concerns

I spoke to a workmate last night who's son has a Mk7. Guess what, he's had his fan flatten his battery just last week. The dealer has changed the relay for him .

Re: Econetic cooling fan concerns

[quote="jam_rs"]Cant say ive heard anyone else saying about this yet. What exactly did the dealer say?
