What do I need to know?

It's just been serviced but I aim to oil and filter every 5000k's - any particular oil I should use?

There's a very, very slight knock over bumps. Feels like early wear on a bush somewhere, most likely culprit?

It has the B&O sound system which is nice and I love the colour. I'm not sure about the wheels though, maybe they'll grow on me ...

So, I went over to a buds house and we did the transmission fluid change, and he was the one who got under the car and drained it. What he didn’t tell me, was how fast it came out, and got on everything before hitting the drain pan. So, I poured the 2 quarts, and he tightened everything up underneath. We called it a day, and I drove home. Well a couple hours later, I wanted to just check for any leaks and behold my mini heart attack when I saw this (pic below) I about crapped myself thinking I just somehow lost all of my trans oil, so I panic messaged him the picture. He then told me about the mess it made under the car and the oil splatter was probably from the drive home on the hwy with the wind blowing all the old oil around under the car that we neglected to clean off after the job was done. He then also pointed out an obvious tidbit that the drain plug Is bone dry, and there’s no trans fluid around the drain or Coming down from the filler plug. Soooo…..lesson learned… bring a can of degreaser next time. Just felt like sharing this. Thanks for reading :D

My 2017 is stock and approaching 50,000 miles. Even so, I'm starting to think about getting the timing belt replaced, and probably the water pump too. I've had it since new and I like it as-is, but if I'm taking it to a ship like M/T in LA, I might see what else we can do while it's on the bench.

It might be reliability work, or mild upgrades that leave it useable in LA traffic. What would you do to a bone-stock 2017 ST?

Hey all, I've got a Mk7 Fiesta ST here in Australia and want to sit lower in the car.driving position aren't great for me stock.

And ideas or suggestions?

Hey reddit.

I have a 2015 fiesta st. The clutch has been sticky, I replaced the master slave cylinder a year ago. It was fine for a while but its sticky again. Also in the video the rpms blip up and come back down while the car still goes. Im just pressing the gas slightly and keeping it there. Any suggestions?

I made a post on this page a few weeks ago about hearing compressor surge on my 2017 with 83k miles on it. When I bought it, the previous owner installed a boomba BOV adapter (which is probably how I noticed the issue). About a month after I got the car, if I would get on it above 3000 RPMs, instead of hearing the “PSHHH”, it would be a “chu-chu-chu”, kind of like turbo flutter or compressor surge. It will continue to have the flutter sound for the next few blow offs, then it goes back to the PSHH until I get on it past 3000 RPMs and the process repeats. Most people are saying it’s the diverter valve that needs to be replaced. I called a ford dealership and they weren’t even able to find the part for it in their catalog until I saw on a separate forum that the part is not listed in their catalog and that it’s included with the turbo assembly. The lady then told me it would be 600 dollars in labor to install. I told her that I would have to pass because that price is ridiculous for something I could probably do myself. Then I called a special ford mechanic shop and the guy talked to his tech and his tech told him that I’m going to probably need a new turbo entirely after hearing my brief explanation of what was happening, and they would also charge me a 200 dollar inspection fee. So I’m coming here to ask you guys as someone who has pretty basic mechanic skills, how hard is it to install a GFB DV+ diverter valve? All the research I’ve done, it seems like a pretty basic and easy job, it can just be hard to reach if you don’t have the right tools. After all the research I’ve done, I’m fairly certain the diverter valve plunger is sticking because it’s old and just needs to be replaced, but is that what you all would think as well based on what’s happening? Is this really bad for my turbo? Does it need to be replaced ASAP? Is this a good DV to install? Really would appreciate yalls input!

This is a video of exactly what it sounds like: https://youtu.be/LmoOzcm7RkE?is=nFdiFhjgCO_fkooD

Hello everybody!
I’ve owned my ST for 6 months now and I really need some help.
Luckily I have a garage where I can let my Fist have some rest but the fact is that that spot is very VERY dusty idk why, but as soon as I wash her like 3 days later it’s covered in dust.
I’m looking for something like a specific car cover that I can use indoor but outdoor too for “emergencies”. Do you have any clue or some links where I could buy one?
Thank you all!
