Hi I am a Turkish member of this forum since 2004, have not been around for ages..I think i have to post this message ...If this is a known product or its not a genuine FORD part, I do apologize.. In Turkey, dealers charge £45 for a set of BOSCH aerotwin wipers (952S). Some people bought aerotwin refills at EBay... I have found this product at a FORD parts shop..They have both BOSCH aerotwin wipers (same price with dealers) and these FORD Premium sets..Seller told this is a geniune FORD product having FORD partcode..These wipers are identical with BOSCH(perfectly fits and the blade design

1.6 TDCi (2004) ghia.. What i dislike is - all the rattles, niggles, creaks etc. - wind noise from window and door seals on high speed - still oil condensation in the engine compartment after replacing hoses, MAF sensor and turbo pipe.. - diminished visibility of driver side . I was almost hitting some dark dressed pedestrians in a couple of instances at nights. - that flat spot - easily stained beige trim. - low build quality What i like - the kind and helpful people of ford forums (national and UK forums) that i never found in other brand forums before :) - performance - eco

Have a look at this topic. http://www.ffoc.co.uk/modules.php?name= ... ic&t=79927

i am having this on my 1.6 tdci as well.. I press the AC button and bring the A/C to the Eco mode, especially at hill starts and overtaking maneovurs . In this mode AC compressor is off and does not STEAL power from engine but it still blows cold weather for a couple of seconds. After start , i press the same button and get the AC on.

In Turkey, dealers put Mobil Delvac 10W-30 diesel engine oil to 1.6 tdci engines. Post 2005- august built cars: Change period is 10K miles or 1 year (which comes first). Pre 2005- August cars: 10K miles or 6 months (which comes first).

yes its a bit exaggerated ..sorry. lets say a thin film of dust :(

Thanks for the info Mastertech :) As Mastertech said, that steel pipe is leaking or something and need to be changed under warranty and guess what ? They dont have it in stock as always . So im gonna drive the car with that broken pipe for a week, they have ordered it and another item (broken bumper's bottom plastic cover) new parts will come next week. So i'll go service once again.. I think they have nothing in stock except the oil and filters :( . Youre right. Because of neverending new buildings, dust is the main concern. Park your car in the morning, come at afternoon and you

Thanks for the advice ;) I went to the dealer this morning, they said turbo oil o-ring would be broken so the oil sprayed there. May cause a turbo damage (low probability). They have to perform a detailed check. Air filter is not the cause, in conrtrary it is the effected part and now it must be very oily. I will post their conclusion later

No probs since the pipe and MAF replacement. I have checked the area on every occasion for oil leak, spray etc but none.. 2 weeks ago, i have done a 420 miles trip. No probs. Car is good, mpg is okay (4.7 l/100 km@90 kmh with 4 adult 2 kids and a full boot). When i checked the engine there, i saw this . The pipe in front of the replaced pipe is oily. No change at the oil level. Oil stands where it stands just before trip . Last week i have done the return trip. No probs. The car is booked for service tomorrow.. But i am still worrying :oops: 1) Some friends say diesel engine

Rumour is that Mr Ford is not happy with fusion sales so it will be replaced. New car is Fiesta B-max which is an Smax looking small MPV , a 5 seater with a boot.Notice the reverse opening rear doors. Its quite handsome in the picture. I think Ford will stop producing both fusion and Cmax as we all complaining niggles, creaks, sounds etc. and/or EGR and/or low MPG issues...

To my knowledge, there must be three buttons in front of aircraft style EPB : You can choose sport , comfort, normal .. Edit: Maybe an option only with 2.5 T :wink:

Wowww, well specced car...Will she have EPB with Hill Launch Assist and self levelling suspension ?

I bought 205 55 16 91V hankook K105 Ventus prime tyres for £ 38.5 each. For comparison, same size Continental sport contact2 is for £ 81.90 (Turkey retail prices) Quite a price difference :shock: Hankook is certainly less noisier and more comfortable; but high speed cornering is not as good (but enfough for me) as SC2 imo.

lovely colour, i like it too :). Hope you enjoy your ride.. A ghia with 6000 CD. Is SONY mp3 player unit not available? I think sony is worth every penny :) Does 6000 CD have an aux in socket in glovebox (some say so ;) ) I think its a petrol engine.. Too many figures on the rev display :lol: And finally for beige interior ..it is a torture to keep clean.

Sure not :D Being a doctor, i try them to survive. Am i wrong :oops: ? Kerb is the wright word, isnt it? (no dictionary available right now :) ) Both incidents were at low speed but tyres got damaged. Tyre had a puncture from sidewall in the first one. They repaired it. Second hit is even the slighter. No puncture but an incomplete tear on the sidewall again. Suspension or drivetrain whatever it is (we call it "front order" :) ) checked then and found normal. As a precaution i bought 2 new tyres immediately.

No no, i think i can not put it in with right words.. With separate incidents when the max was new, i hit kerbs 2 times. Those tyres shattered and I had to change them with new tyres. Since then, i made tyre rotations a couple of times. Stock tyres are in the fronts and those afterbought ones in the rears at present time.... Well i am planning to buy Hankook Ventus prime K105 (German car magazine autobild's latest 195 65 15 H tyre test winner) or Conti Premium contact2 s( 2.nd in the same test). I think their 205 55 16 ones will also be okay..

2 years gone since my got my Cmax. My front tyres is at 42K km (26K miles, i think), rear tyres is at 36 K kms (22-23 K miles i think). i now feel that tyre performance reduced. More wheelspin than before and slight skid i can feel. Think i must change them . i check those treadwear indices, they are in normal limits I have never changed my tyres so early in my previous cars. But none had the ultra high performance type tyres, either. Is this lifespan normal for Continental sportcontact2s? Or can we say its a bit short? Or is it because my driving style? :wink:

..a child observation mirror to a Cmax with a sunroof ?

You can also configure an Smax for yourself here :D (for UK ) http://www2.fordconnection.com/fordconn ... =pv&vc=006 And this one is my favourite...

my vote for RSS

yep..it is crap plastic, it cracked when mounting. Anyway looks better :)

yes they have... I called 3 other services and one of them have the parts in stock. I went there and bought the parts this morning. Im gonna fit them later today.. Thank you :) PS: The parts a bit more expensive here. I paid 67 NewTL (which makes 28 GB pounds)

Well done mate :) ...Thanks for sharing it. I have gone local Citroen dealer this morning with these part numbers . They dont have either blade nor holder in stock . There is none available even in the national importer's stocklist. They said I have to wait at least 10 days for them to import the parts :oops:

I sent an email to the guys of fordpartsuk.com and asked a price quote for this rear centre armrest. They replied me as " it is a factory mounted option and currently is not in the list of accessories or spare parts". I am confused :roll: If its mounted - as you can see in the picture rear centre seat folded backwards- can't we use rear centre seat. Or is this console a tray or trolley like thing , do we pull it forwards and unfold the central seat. But in this time there will be no place to put our feet. I think it must be a simple box. We carry it in the boot and when we need it

I know its offtopic but i need some advice. This is my wife's new shaped 2006 MY fiesta. It has 14'' wheels. I am considering to get 15'' wheels. There are 3 alloys wheel which we like. Please tell which one is your favourite 1) 2) 3)
