I recently bought a used Ford Fiesta and have been experiencing some problems with the engine. It seems to be making strange noises and running rough. What are some of the common issues I should look out for and how can I avoid them?
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on your new car! It's common for older Ford Fiestas to have issues with the timing belt and spark plugs. Regular maintenance and replacing these parts when needed can prevent more serious engine problems. Also, make sure you are using high-quality oil and regularly changing it to keep the engine running smoothly.
Hi Samantha, I had a similar issue with my Ford Fiesta and it turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. It's important to get this checked and replaced if needed, as a failing fuel pump can lead to engine stalling and even failure. It's a relatively easy fix and will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
Hey Samantha, I've been a mechanic for 10 years and have seen my fair share of Ford Fiesta engines. One of the most common issues I've found is with the coolant system. Make sure to check the coolant levels regularly and flush the system every 30,000 miles. This will help prevent overheating and potential engine damage.
