How to: Carry out a service on a MK6 Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCI

Great vid. I have the same car. Just one thing with the oil filter installation though. To make sure oil filter nub piece seats correctly in the hole in the oil filter housing, you can push the oil filter on first then push the oil filter housing cap on and then screw it down. This way you can see clearly if the nub piece is seated correctly. Its so important that if this nub piece falls off inside the engine through the hole because its not seated properly, its usually goodbye engine. It helps if you cut slots in the paper part at the back of the oil filter with a stanley so then this part of the filter easily clips in the receiver part of the oil filter housing cap. Also, its worth sucking out the old dirty oil pooled in the oil filter housing. There is usually quite a bit that does not go in the sump when draining the oil. I used to soak up with paper towels and it was time consuming. Now i have an electric fluid suction device which uses power from the car battery via crocodile clips and this takes care of new oil being contaminated with the old.

I'm missing my fiesta mk 6.5 - 1.6 TDCi Zetec Climate. I used to service my car went through the same process. The Haynes manual is a trust worthy source for nm torque.
Although, there were some difference between Haynes manual and Ford recommendations but these were to do with timing belt and cam belt. Haynes manual stated half the mileage of both belts. While Ford recommended the 100k for timing belt, Haynes manual stated 50k.
The incredibly things was I managed my personal best of 647 miles on full tank of fuel.
