thanks for the quick reply :lol: is the noise normal on a 1.8tdci then? like i said its pretty quiet just never noticed it before

Hi All Sorry it's a bit of an old topic but is it normal to get a lower mpg in the cold weather we are having ? normally i average 45+ but lately i'm only getting up to about 38mpg ! i drive fairly carefully and dont leave it warming up for ages. also over the last couple of months its developed a quiet 'chirping' noise when lifting off changing through the gears etc never noticed it before ? ( similar to the noise the rally cars used to make when lifting off throttle like the toyota celicas etc but much quieter obviously ) might just be me ? 1.8 tdci cmax ghia 2005

thanks will look into it sounds like it might not be working gave up waitng and used a scraper instead as always in a rush in the mornings :D

Hi again everyone. Just wondered how fast the heated front screen is supposed to clear frost/ice ? I can start the car and have the front and rear heated screen on,the rear one stars working way before the front one is this normal ? (rear one stats clearing but no signs of working on the front ) cheers Andy :roll:

Hi again Thanks for reply, braking is fine so guess its just the tyre, i'm not that keen on contis so will look around when i replace the fronts ( v soo n ! ) haven't seen the marshalls locally Andy

Hi I've got a cmax ghia 1.8 tdi and its done about 15,000 miles (bought it with 3500 miles on it ) most of the front tyre' s have about 4mm left but the front left has a patch about 4inches around or more where it's down to 1-2 mm. just suprised and wondering why it has worn like this with abs ? :o

Hi anyone know where i can get a sony cmax head unit from ? want to keep to the standard style unit though thanks

still works at the mo as far as i can tell this time of year :D will check the size when i get home thanks

thanks I'll give autoglass or someone a call

Hi Everyone Still well happy with my 1.8 tdci ghia.only thing is I've got a chip in the windscreen and as its heated can it be repaired ? Cheers Andy

Hi yes there is a cmax user guide, crap Fraud dealer done the same to us Andy

normally get 500 + miles out of mine too ( 1.8 tdci) computer not far out on mpg ,and i dont need it to notice how much better than my fiesta zetec s on fuel it is !! :lol:

hi click the switch up and down on the back of the left hand stalk controls and it toggles between mpg,av speed,trip etc push the one on the end and it resets averages cheers Andy

thats normal mate. makes you jump as well when it 'thumps' !!! you need to change to first unless you are rolling quite fast :D

I've got the 1.8 tdi and it's a bit noisier just when it starts up and does take around 10 minutes to warm up but i get 43-45 mpg on my short journey to work (15 miles varied speed ) my wife manages to get 55mpg out of it easy ! :lol:
