Title basically says it all. Have a 2016 fiesta st. Absolutely love the car. Kept up with all my regular maintenance. The only problems I’ve had up until now is a very peculiar overheating problem on extremely hot days (99* or higher) while going up hill. I lost power and the check engine light was flashing on my way to work. Made it to work and managed to check the spark plugs after a day and numbers 3&4 were SOAKED in oil. Just got the pictures from my mechanic and the cylinders are absolutely soaked in oil as well. Idk if there’s coolant in the oil yet but there’s definitely gasoline mixing with the oil somewhere.

Basically my question is am I absolutely cooked? Should I even bother rebuilding? I wanted to keep this car as long as possible. I love having it as a fun but practical daily. But now I’m considering other options just to be financially responsible.

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

After the new tires got put on I figure I'd have my alignment checked... And it was way off. Here's the before and after. Did I screw up asking for zero toe? I've heard zero toe is a good balance of aggressive and daily driving, so I went with it.

Hey all,

Recently I found out that my passenger rear calliper doesn't engage. Not handbrake nor pedal make it work. So i believe it narrows it down to the calliper. What do you guys think this could be. Obviously hard to tell but maybe theres another (brake related) thing that the Fiesta is notorious for.

Hey all,

When I start my car (2013, 52K miles) I get a strong fuel smell inside the car but only when starting. When I open the bonnet you can still occasionally get a whiff of lean fuel. I have no visual leaking such as dripping.

Any help would be much appreciated

2019 US mk7. Local shop is doing a slave cylinder, master cylinder, and clutch job for me. Do they need to be doing a reverse bleed on the install for longevity’s sake, or just a standard bleed? Or standard bleed followed by reverse bleed?

I have acquired some very, very cheap used hardrace arms that need new ball joints.. all other bushes are ok.

I’m reading some mixed information that I can’t put OEM equivalent ball joints in these but at the same time I know you can put hardrace ball joints in OEM arms 🤷‍♂️

Anyone had any dealings with this?

I had an accident in my Fiesta a couple of years ago. It damaged the radiator support snd front bumper.

I took the front end apart last summer to repair, and then got distracted by other tasks. I have looked at multiple repair manuals, including the Haynes Manual, and the official Ford repair manual, but neither of them show the ST specific front end.

I can't remember now exactly how the plastic trim pieces go back together, nor exactly where each bolt / clip goes. I took photos, but was not as thorough as I thought I was.

Any idea where I can find a guide specific to getting these parts reinstalled on my ST specifically?

I just got back from an oil change for my car. My mechanic said I should have changed the timing belt along time ago, That he was taking too many risks at this point. Should I?
