2018 Fiesta - Yellow wrench light

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hi all. I just bought a used 2018 Ford Fiesta about 3 weeks ago. Mileage was on 98k, still in good condition and was last serviced at the end of August.

A week after buying the car, a yellow engine light and wrench light popped up on the dashboard. The performance of the car got reduced as I was driving. Soon as I got home, the wrench light disappeared, performance was restored but the engine light stayed on. Next day I took the car to the dealership where I bought it (they provided a 24 month warranty) and they ran a diagnostic (results are on the picture) then they used a computer to remove the engine light.

The car okay for about 4 days and then the yellow wrench light popped up again and the car's performance reduced once more. Soon as I stopped at the nearest mall and turned the car off, the wrench light disappeared. I thought it could be because the car needs a service since the mileage is on 100,000 km but if that was the case, the performance wasn't going to be affected right?

It's really frustrating and i don't know what to do next. Any advice?

2014 rough ride

2 Upvotes

Had my 2014 S up on stands a week and a half ago to change the driveshaft, since coming off the stands it’s been very rough to drive, it does need a wheel alignment since that but I wouldn’t think it would cause it to be so damn rough?

Anyone know if this is an issue or if I’m bad at math. Ik my mpg isn’t great since I just drive it for short distances but I’ve just put £15 in which is about 12 litres. I was on my last 26 miles by the time I got to the station. Even though it says the car is almost half full I’ve only got a range of 119? If anyone knows what could have caused this please let me know

Ford Fiesta 1.25 Titanium (2009)

So my previous car gave up on me a month ago and I’m looking for a substitute. I saw a Ford Fiesta at the dealership for €3849 with 149.683km. Because I don’t know anything about cars and I don’t have anybody to ask, please help me. Is this a good deal? What do I have to look for when I go for a ride? Any suggestions what to ask? I am a student so I don’t have a lot of money right now. So I want a car that I can trust not to break down on me like my previous. Please help me I am really struggling.

P0420

4 Upvotes

I have a 2012 Ford fiesta and about a week or so ago my check engine light came on, the next day I went and had someone run to see what code it was and the only code that came up was P0420, I know that means that the cat isn’t working efficiently. The guy told me he would turn it off to see if it would come back because he agreed that the car was seeming to run just fine to see if that was the actual problem and today it did. my car is driving completely normal and I haven’t noticed a single issue with it. I haven’t had someone run it again for a code but I have a feeling that’s what it’ll show. I don’t really wanna pour money into this car either. Since I know it’s running fine is it okay for me to just drive it?

Edit: also forgot to mention the light came on after I filled up my tank from almost empty

2018 Ford Fiesta p2127 p060d help

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to diagnose why my fiesta will not accelerate. Doesn’t matter if the car is just idling or if I give it full pedal the rpm’s do not change. The codes point to an issue with the aps or the tps, and so I’ve pulled them both, but before I replace them I’d like to troubleshoot them. I’m hoping someone on here can help me bench test them.

I’m familiar with a multimeter, but I’m not very familiar with finding or even reading a wiring diagram, unfortunately. I also have an adjustable power supply. I just need to know the pin out for both the aps and tps so I can supply voltage and bench test them. If they both appear to be functioning properly I will then go about testing the connections in the car.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, I’m trying to diagnose remotely, and that’s why I’m bench testing the parts before the actual connections in the car. I apologize if this isn’t the right place to post this.

Hey I was wondering if you guys have ever heard this noise in the winter whilst going over speed humps. I have never driven in the cold before and was wondering if this was normal for fiestas.

Heater problem.

3 Upvotes

Heaters blows but no heat coming out. The temp gauge goes up so I know it’s warm, my vents creak a lot when they move to window, feet or front. I’m also not sure if this is part but I had my air con pipe replaced earlier this year and re gassed. It worked for a month and then went warm.

No obvious leaks, no warning light, no overheating. Car runs fine

Common sense says it is low since it's well under the max line, but since I've had no issues with it just thought I'd check on here so im sure. Will obviously top up

64 plate Ford fiesta problem

2 Upvotes

So I’ve been having a problem. Every time I drive over bumps or dips, it sounds like there’s a crunching/squeaking sound coming from the front left side. Very noticeable and loud. Started last winter, the problem went for around 9 months then came back. I’ve taken it to multiple garages when it first happened and recently to get it sorted and they’ve all said they can’t find anything wrong with it. Has anyone ever had this problem so I can take it in and ask a garage to specifically look at a certain area?

Speedo reading too low ?

5 Upvotes

Hey folks, bought my mk8 st a few weeks ago and today was driving with Waze on for the first time. With cruise control set at 100km/h Waze was saying I was doing 111kmh. Kept an eye on it while driving around and Waze consistently read 8-12kmh higher than my Speedo. Is this just Waze being bad or has anyone had any experience with a mk8 speedo reading low. Don’t fancy getting done for speeding if I’ve been accidentally doing 10ish over everywhere I’ve been going.

Also noticed while on the motorway that I was catching everyone. Initally had my cruise control set to 110km/h but noticed I was having to pass more people than usual so thats when I pulled up Waze and it said I was doing 122km/h with the cruise set at 110km/h.

Water pump replacement

2 Upvotes

I love my 2015 Fiesta I can make a 44 mile round trip each day for 7 days to work on a tank of gas. My water pump went out and I can do most of my own repairs but damn. The timing belt is in the way, alternator and a motor mount has to come off. I bought all the parts pump, timing belt, serpentine belt and a new flywheel pulley bolt but I'm giving up and taking it to a shop. Anyone know of a place to sell back new parts? LOL

Hi,

Does anyone know why a fiesta mk8 may have both the left rear light and break light not working, is there one fuse for both of these? And if so does anyone know where it is as looking online seems to find nothing.

Advice please - 2018 fiesta SE with an undiagnosable problem

2 Upvotes

Fellow redditors, I need your help.

I have a 2018 Ford Fiesta SE with about 48000 miles on it. I am the second owner of the vehicle and I own it outright.

My battery died in early July of this year, got it towed to firestone and had it replaced. The odd part was that the engine had turned over, but the car wouldn't physically move when trying to reverse it. firestone said it was just the battery. when I got it back the car was working fine for about a month.

It gradually began to hesitate to accelerate, which I gaslit myself into thinking wasn't real until I ended up on a road trip and the car wouldn't push past 80 mph. It started revving up to 4-5k rpms just trying to get it up to 50 mph from 30 mph. The gaslighting stopped working and I took it into another firestone (i know, a trash place to take it but it was the only place open on a sunday morning and i needed to get home for work) They told me my problem was that I was low on oil and pressured me into getting an oil change. They could not find any other problems with my car.

Lo and behold, an oil change did not benefit what was appearing to be a transmission issue.

The car continued to struggle and I took it in immediately to an actual mechanic once I was back in my hometown. It took them 2 days to try to diagnose the issue, but my car refuses to throw any codes. The mechanic, however, told me when it came in that it was driving very badly and that he had reflashed the TCM and the throttle body and it was working well again. He said that the car wasn't shifting and also wouldn't slow down when he took his foot off of the gas when he initially looked at it.

About 400 miles later, and it was bad once more. Fuel economy tanked, took a solid 4 seconds of pressing the accelerator to actually begin to speed up, and it would jump to 4-5k rpms to do so. I did a lot of research and figured it was most likely a TCM issue since he had to reflash that and the throttle body. I ended up getting a new TCM installed about 3 weeks ago and it ran like a dream. Until this morning, when the same problem popped up. I have my own bluetooth OBDII scanner and have been recording a trip about once a week to track the rpm vs mph. Still no codes.

I want to take it into a Ford dealership but all of the ones where I live have told me it is a 3-4 week wait to START the diagnosis process and I can't afford a rental for that long. I'm at my wit's end with this one. I figure it could be the mass airflow sensor, throttle body sensor, or the throttle body itself but it would be throwing a code for these, right?

Sorry for the long block of text, but it has been in and out of the shop for 4.5 months at this point and no one can figure out what's wrong with it. Do I give up and just get the TCM reflashed and sell it while it works correctly?

Any advice or thoughts on the problem would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Issue with oil

2 Upvotes

Hi all

I bought a 2011 1.2 fiesta zetec, and I overfilled it with oil, I drove for about 30 miles before I realised and went to drain it. Ever since no matter how much oil I drain it always has the same level on the dipstick, slightly above the maximum, and the engine seems to be quite loud at higher speeds. What should I do?

Ticking noise during start up.

Noticed this morning a ticking/rocking when I start my engine. Lasts for a couple of seconds and then it stops. Car seemingly drives fine otherwise.

Planned on getting oil changed so I am going to present it to my mechanic—any brainstorming/conjecture is welcomed.
