Hello, new owner (July 2019) of a 2016 Fiesta ST with 63,000 miles, in the Tampa Bay, FL area. Daily driver, just slotted and drilled rotors which I might return to stock. Stock tire size, Indy 500s. Those are the only mods. Fun car, looking forward to meeting some folks that will guide me to a track of some sort. I don't know what else to say other than Hello!
Questions;
Currently suffering from;
Clunky transmission during shifting, especially 1-2-3. If shifted fast, it is less prevalent. CVs already changed by previous owner. Will an RMM and better gear oil fix this?
Passenger and driver side A/C blend door popping noise. Is the Dorman part better than OEM? Previous owner has replaced the passenger side once with OEM. Is there a permanent fix to this? It is annoying. #FordInterior
Evap purge valve (is that what it is called?), rough idle/stall after fueling up. Is it true that switching to 2015 evap lines fixes this issue? Please advise.
Sunroof cover noisy, probably just have to deal with it.
Are these cars prone to getting out of alignment relatively easily? Seems like a pothole will murder the alignment every time.
Looking to swap to 16" wheels with summer tires in the "winter tire size" the manual dictates. Will that throw off the speedometer?
Future plans;
FMIC and functional intake.
Better piping all around.
RMM.
AccessPort with 93 tune. If I buy a used one that was on a different car, for example subaru, could it be programmed for the fiesta?
So far, I love this car, have put a lot of miles on it, and it's an incredible driving experience everytime I get in it.
