Great video and I agree dealer services can be expensive but a fully stamped service history will preserve the cars value.
Just buy a Ford stamp online or make one on stamp maker sorry but it’s not fraud gentleman has a video proof
As a master tec that is 100% fraud.... you cannot use a manufacturer logo and they keep recoards for 10 years for vat reasons. you can get any workshop to stamp the book in the uk and it will perserve any warrenty.. you dont need a dealerstamp but you do need a vat registered garage to stamp it..... you sir are a scammer@@GloUp100
Be wary of using non-ford oil, as the cambelt is wet and can disintegrate in the wrong oil causing oil pickup to block causing the ecoboom. A full ford service kit with GENUINE ford oil, filter, air filter, sump plug can be had for £75 (ebay item 184532611020 ) and a spark plug kit only a few quid more. Shows the labour charges are £££££. Personally, I'd recommend frequent oil changes with genuine parts to avoid risk of cam belt issue
Great video on the DIY service for the Fiesta MK8. I hope you also renewed the sump plug & washer too as you didn’t mention this in your video. You have earned yourself a subscriber, I look forward to more of your video content 🙏💯
The pollen filter you took out was dark due to being charcoal activated and a better option than the one you put back in!
Ah i see thats good to know thanks 👍
Carbon pollen filter not charcoal... carbon removes smells too
@@vasili1207 sorry! Yes you are correct.
I enjoyed your video. I service my 2014 1.0 Fiesta ecoboost like the service you've just done (oil, oil and air filters annually, new coolant and pollen filter every two years,). I may only do 800 miles annually some years but I still service it nonetheless. With these ecoboost engines it certainly pays to keep the engine oil good. They are easy to do. Just tried to see where you put your axle stands.
Bang on video saved me a load pal cheers yeah my local ford dealer ship was £345.00 aswell what a joke mines a 2019 eco boost followed ur instructions and jobs a gud un loke i said cheers pal look forward to ur future content
Your paying for labour and parts ..... you people think we work for nothing .... you cannot do our job day in day out your paying for the experience of a trained professional back with 12 moths warrenty on parts and labour and preserves your warranty.... no stamp no warrenty simple... you don't even need a dealerstamp just a reputable garage... but you still be at 200 minimum.... muppet
I did a service on my son’s Fiesta a few years back and the position of that oil filter is a pain when you are lying on your back. He now has a Suzuki Swift and the filter is right at the front and is so simple to change.
Cheers...just about to do mine....very useful 👍
Hi mate, no probs, glad its useful ! All the best MEC 👍👍
Very good video mate, just got a mk8 Fiesta so very helpful! Just subscribed, some interesting looking videos on your channel so I’m sure I’ll get through a few!
Hi mate thanks for the sub! glad you liked the fiesta vid, theres a pretty good mix of cars so hopefully ul find some interesting stuff, all the best MEC 👍👍👍
Morning. Great channel, well done ! I'm the fella you took to Holloway last night from the City. :-)
Hi mate thanks for the message glad you like it ! 👍👍👍
bought my first car in 2014, first and second service dealer done it, after that i did it myself every 10k. oil and oil filters, air and pollen as in when
£345??!! Outrageous, an absolute rip-off!
Great job!
The Ecoboom engines, well, enough said.
I HATE where manufacturers put the cabin filter; Honda CRV you have to take out the glove box, others under the scuttle (cowl), and then there is this. Ugh.
I'm used to changing the air filter like this Ford, the CRV and others you have to unscrew the air box. Absolutely ridiculous!
Hi mate, yes they are a pain to change arnt they ! Yes i thought 345 was alot too ! Fingers crossed the ecoboom doesnt doesnt go boom 🤣🤞🤞
How much oil did you use in the end. No info online. Much appreciated
🤣 My mate was quoted £600 odd for eco-poost oil change plus brake discs and pads! I did it for a bottle o gin and a little financial gain! I REALLY don't like these engines...
Haha that sounds like a good deal ! 👍👍👍
@@mec-tec considering the job was done in less than an hour? Definitely!
Hi MEC - As Frederick below said RIP OFF £345 - let's hope a lot of your subscribers save some money too D
Thanks wak yes 🤞 it helps people 👍👍👍
Ive got a 63 plate mk7.5 17k, i need to do the cabin filter. Think it similar to what I've heard is involved.
Hi mate yes its probably very similar 👍👍👍
thats only a engine service. so would not cost 345. you need to check car including brakes
Thanks for the info 👍
Hi there. Nice video, if you have tools and time, you can fix it yourself. Btw, I have a Mk8 st 1.5 version. No transmission oil change?? When do people do this?
Hi mate thanks glad you like the vid, i had a quick google and found that the gearbox oil is every 60k if its a manual or 25k if its auto, ive not done this before though
Regards MEC 👍
@MEC-TEC thank you for the answer! Much appreciated!
You may know the answer to this question m8, are all MK 7 wheels interchangeable, i.e. can i put 2016 wheels on a 2017 model are the hubs compatible ? thanks .
Hi mate as long as they are 4 stud (4x108) they will fit, you just need to check the offset as this determines how far in or out the arch the wheel sits, the offset is usually stamped on the back of thw wheel and is the number starting with ET, hope this helps MEC 👍
Old cabin filter with carbon, thats why its colour grey. New cabin filter without carbon.
Mk8 fiesta is a good car, hopefully it's reliable?
Yes, they are nice, this one has been very reliable so far 🤞🤞👍👍👍
Whats the clamps size and info mate?
Hi mate, do you mean the oil filter pliers ? They are halfords ones, think there is only 1 size 👍
@@mec-tec soz late replay was at work thanks for taking ur time out to reply to me yeah the clam/pillers to remove oil filter and wats the two supports to hold the car up pal u made it look really easy and your info was brilliant ford are rip off and generally ppl like urselfs on here giv3 advice is a god send 😀
@@tim....187lockdown hi mate, no probs, yes the pliers are just halfords oil filter pliers, pretty sure theres only 1 size and the axle stands are from halfords too, they are rated for 2 ton so more than enough for most cars, hope this helps, regards MEC 👍👍
@@mec-tec amazing pal thank you again 👍
Oh mate nearly forgot to ask one more question if so sorry is it best regardless off the amount of miles i do to change the oil n filters like you did in the video every 12months? Really sorry to bother ya again
Hi! Please can you help me? I left my car parked somewhere within a 10-15 mins drive of London St Pancras station and I can’t remember where. I think it’s somewhere in Camden or Islington but could be wrong. I really need help finding it - I have severe adhd and can’t remember for the life of me what direction I went in, but I know it took me 20-25 mins max to walk there so it would’ve been within 1.5 miles. It’s a purple Peugeot 108 vrn kt14 kbe. Im parked in a permit only residents parking bay with a blue badge.
I’ve been trying my hardest to look with no luck. If you could keep an eye out for it I would appreciate it massively! I’m trying to contact anyone who goes around central London a lot in hopes that they might come across it!
Hi mate its a long shot but i sill keep my eye out for u 👍
@@mec-tec thanks so much!
The ecoboom engines in these fiestas are awful, the cambelts are by far the worst design sitting in oil
the cost of replacing it is mad too as you need to remove the sump and clean all the bits of cambelt out of the oil strainer at the same time
Yes agreed, i think the earlier ones are the most troublesome, i think they revised them slightly (not sure how) from 2016 on, although im not sure i would buy one, i dont think my sis in law will keep it long enough to be a problem 🤞🤞👍👍
@@mec-tec yea they were forced to recall the early models as they kept catching on fire
