Hello,
So i have 2013 Fiesta ST3 3-door EU model with 88000 km so far and i just wanted to share my experiences with issues that i've had so far.
- Throwout bearing seems to be slightly whining at 1500-2500 rpms, will change that out with my clutch when that's gone (complete Clutch replacement is 600€)
- Did a transmission repair out of warranty cause 2nd gear teeth were chipped away but Ford paid 50% because it was supposedly a faulty material... Still about 700€ -_-
- All door speakers are blown but they're cheap to replace once i get to it
- Gonna get rear engine mount because of vibrations - the passenger compartment vibrates from that
- My steering wheel vibrates at higher speeds and i can feel every little bump in it so that's probably something minor in suspension, maybe brakes or a bent wheel... will find out when i change to winter tyres soon.
- There is a slight rattle when i turn my engine off and it also rattles at about 1100 RPM right above idle
- My Milltek non res exhaust is bumping and rubbing like crazy because it's a very tight fit there but i imagine that would be an easy fix too, although Ford didn't know what to do
- To my surprise, no Blend Door actuator problems, but it's an EU model so maybe that's why? I don't know
Any tips about what should i check next? Was thinking about checking hoses for boost leaks as well.
