I must say, your presenting is brilliant, great video. I've had my 1.5 TDCI Mk8 for exactly 1 year now and i must say i get about 450 miles to a full tank (£50) or so compared to your 350 miles or so. Not as much difference as id have thought between the petrol and diesel. I installed the cruise control into mine which was easily done.
@@jamiemediauk only seeing this now. Yea it was very simple, you can go to someone and they will charge anywhere from £120 upwards. Part alone is £59 or so + forscan + the cable to connect and a little knowledge on removing parts. Took about 40 mins or so.
I have a MK8.5 ST Line (Vignale Spec) which is basically an ST-Line X but fully loaded (no Vignale badging). Visually it looks like an ST-Line X, full LED dash, LED trick auto dimming headlights, 18” alloys, disc brake all round, the B&O sound system, all round sensors, rear camera, heated seats and steering wheel, climate, adaptive speed control, etc etc. it’s the 155PS MHev engine and in sport mode it’s a bit of a hooligan and that small electric motor does help out in the low revs. The ‘wet belt’ issue has been sorted (I believe) on the MK8.5 (just a better belt) but who knows. I’m getting 50+ mpg which is so good for its performance. The only thing I wish I had was the glass roof and why is there no folding wing mirrors/sunglasses holder in the roof console, mad!? Anyhow, great video 👍
Sounds like you’ve got yourself a decent motor! I was also looking at those when it came to getting a new car but couldn’t find one through cinch at the time. Thanks for the comment 🙏👌
Funny just bought the same car. 2019 1.0 100hp with around 40000 miles. and looking to get it chipped to 140hp. i always liked the ST-lines. The trend titatium and vignale are ok but the styling is just too tame. the ST-line with its bigger rims, sport body kit and LED all around just looks just right if you get what i mean. And when u like driving this car is definetly best is its class as most fords hatchbacks have always been the better cars when it comes to driving enjoyement.
Can I ask did you buy from a local dealer and how much for? I've been looking for a first car for 2 weeks, would be happy with this car. But every dealer seems like a scammer lol
@@samuelryan2523 i live in the netherlands, so i woulnd know. but i think i can tell you is to do good research on the vehicle and similar vehicle prices. and i u feel like they are 'scamming you' say thank you and goodbye and move on hahah.
@flyerholland Ohh, no problem! Thanks for responding! And maybe scammer was the incorrect word, legit companies but just seem untrustworthy. My car shall be with me this week though! :)
They don't blow , they've fixed the mk8

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it 😎 That’s a decent chunk more for the price tbf! Was the cruise control easy to fit? 🫣

I have the titanium mhev and it does everything perfect, although part of me wishes I got the st-line instead for the looks
Would getting the 2018 be a big downgrade or very similar to 2019? Did you mention there is ST line MK8 and ST the normal ST is more petrol to use?
What’s the exhaust sound like mate?
To be honest it’s very quiet 😂
1.0 Ecoboost are terrible engines.
Kind of starting to discover that now 😅
Not really, if properly maintained these engines are really great. The bad rep comes from people who don't maintain their car properly.
The newer ones have a timing chain so don't boom anymore
blow up WHAT??
Ecoboom!
