Looking for a car for wifey. There is a 2007 1.6 TDCI Ghia local. Low miles and imaculate nick.
Are there any Known issues that regulary crop up on these?

Cheers.
Steve.

The Injector seals have been done twice on wifes 1.4 TDCI ( fiesta ) was my dads before we bought it
1st by main stealer under warranty
2nd by my service chap not main stealer ( the trick is washing up liquid supposidly ! )
both front spings have been replaced ( bad batch ? )

There is an issue with starting when cold / damp ( fixabale with a ecu flash ford only ) but the general jist is there are glow plugs - but no light on the dash !! the ecu will only let the starter crank for a certain amount of time to stop it being burnt out. So programed the wife and the 3 year old to count to 10 with ignition on before cranking.

the 1.4 is a pug derived unit as is my dads 1.6 Cmax IIRC ( he has had a new alternator on his under warranty ).

heated screen wires are a bit intrusive ( but brilliant on frosty mornings )

I would buy the wife another ( possibly dads Cmax when he renews that ) seems quite frugal

Thanks for the info. Nothing too horrendous there.

might be relevant?

mmmmmmmmmmmmm, Perhaps I will think again. They have a mint Polo aswell so I may go look into that.
Thanks.
