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.

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.

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

Hey guys

My vehicle has sounded like this for months

Is this normal?

It was next to a building so might be echoing

Thankyou

I think I should do the timing belt. Yes?

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.

Hi all, wondering if anyone who’s installed aftermarket DRLs, RGB angel eyes or custom headlights on a UK Mk7.5 Fiesta could help.

I’ve fitted aftermarket headlights to my 2016 Fiesta ST-Line 1.0 EcoBoost (Yes I know not ST but still applies). The main headlights work perfectly but the RGB halos have a separate 12V Lotus Lamp controller with loose power wires.

I’m looking to power the controller using a piggyback fuse adapter in the engine-bay fuse box, ideally from an ignition-switched circuit so it powers off with the car.

I’ve looked through the Ford fuse diagrams and found several unused positions (F18, F20-F22, F30-F31), but can’t establish whether any actually provide ignition-switched power.

I’ve also seen American Fiesta ST owners use F26, although that position has a different function on UK models.

So… I ask
Has anyone successfully used an ignition-switched fuse in the engine-bay fuse box on a UK/European Mk7.5 Fiesta? If so, which fuse number did you use?

I’d prefer not to run wiring through the bulkhead to the passenger fuse box if there’s a suitable option under the bonnet.

Any advice from someone who’s actually done this would be massively appreciated. Cheers!

Afternoon all

Are the stock exhausts normal for sounding like this on mine? Thought you had to pay extra for the burbles lol.

Just under the hatch, behind rear bumper. Bought the thing pretty rusty a couple years ago. Just the other day this piece fell off and started dragging while driving. Had to pull over and I got it zip tied. How bad is this? Like is it fixable and what's the estimated cost of a repair like this?

Where can I get engine cooling fan control module? I am in South Africa.
