• Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCI - Turbo died 10 days after purchase 1 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  it must be something I did. I told them what the garage told me, the turbo was new someone had recently changed it and didn't change the oil pipe feed and the filter there had clogged. This was a problem present at the moment of sale. They keep saying their company is too new and they don't have
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 150,000 mile tdci report 6 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  has been a failed water pump, which also took out the power steering pump. I've also had a rear brake caliper seize which was easy enough to change. I've done almost all the servicing myself, just oil and filter every 10000 miles and a new air and pollen filter occasionally. Actually, the pollen
• Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - Three weeks with a 2.0 TDCi auto 15 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  on the motorway. Definately its natural home. A bright yellow dipstick - reading the oil level is easy. Things I didn't like: It's huge! Not the best turning circle and I missed parking sensors. It's sluggish from a standing start. Lots of lag before it starts going. Engine is very noisy when cold
• Almera woes 4 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  honestly say whilst I understand that every manufacturer has problem cars, I have NEVER EVER experienced issues like this before. And my last car only had brake pads and new exhaust, tyres, oil and filter changes and went for over 100,000 miles no problems and is still in my garage which I hope to take
• Mazda CX-7 - Let down by Mazda customer service. 19 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  day I went to local mechanic they took oil cover off- lots of metal bits in oil, "smog" ( oil suction blocked) means common problem with those engine 2.0 diesel and sounded like rod bearing.I was hit with quote for new engine!!! 4-5k pounds
• Ford Focus - Faulty Car (Small Claims Court or Not) 21 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  investigating it was intact the coolant tank reservoir which I told him would need replacing plus a coolant replacement, I performed a simple coolant flush and changed the bottle which was quite simple and because I gave him a choice of a garage doing it or myself and he said he wanted to go with the cheaper
• Ford Mondeo Mk3 - Tdci - Strange overheating problem, only at speed 4 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  .   - Have had an oil change as (I thought) the oil was a little low on the dip stick; garage said it was only a litre off full
• Servicing Scam 27 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  the vehicle no longer necessarily comes in at the 1 year / 10,000 mile point, only when the newly developed long life oil is deemed to need changing via some engine management system. This apparently could take you all the way up to 20,000 miles/ 2 years if you are that type of driver (i.e. not the stop start
• Vauxhall Combo van 2010 1.7 Z17 DTH - Bought van. First drive. Problem list, help? 22 Dec 2022 (Forum)

  *** The MOT history is good and has been well looked after mechanically - and i'm assured it will be sold to me with all known faults fixed. (I wont buy unless those terms are met) It has brand new wheels and tyres all round, MOT expires in 6 months. It's recently had a new clutch and flywheel, gearbox oil
• Volkswagen Golf Mk6 (2010) 1.4 TSI Automatic - VW Golf Mk6 DQ200 DSG 7 Speed - Worth Keeping? 12 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  . The gearbox is also "sealed for life", therefore gearbox oil changes at 40,000 mile intervals cannot be carried out. The mileage is only around 56000 miles and the drive in general is really good. I'm a conventional driver averaging about 4000 miles annually, rarely ever speed or drive
• mechatronics faulty extended warranty 12 Nov 2020 (Forum)
  over 700 miles. 3 days after warranty started i had a dsg gearbox error on the dash saying reverse gear not available and this happened three times and went into a limp mode. It is a 7 speed DSG dry clutch with no oil change intervals. I decided to have the car recovered into my local Seat
• Vauxhall Zafira B 2014 1.8 petrol - Running rough, engine light on, juddering 3 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  when pulling away from standing start (only when cold) and it being very difficult to change gear (particularly 1st to second) without riding the clutch - as if when you depress the clutch the revs drop but then momentarily race again making it seem like the clutch is slipping. I thought this might
• Vauxhall Insignia 1.4turbo - Residue from new brake discs/pads 18 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  Hello all, I wonder if someone could please answer what's probably a daft question! We moved to France a few years ago, and re-registered our Vauxhall Insignia here. We've just had the rear discs and pads changed (for Bosch parts BP1233 and BD1367); there was a bit of confusion
• Astra 1.3 diesel - Timing chain rattle 27 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  I know many people do not like this engine, but I'm seeking an objective answer, please: My car has had good quality oil and filter changes every 11k miles or so, but in just the past few weeks I can hear the timing chain rattle when it is idling. It's a periodic thing - sounds like 1, 2
• Honda Civic 2.2 i-CTDi - Buying Honda Civic 2.2 i-CTDi 2007 service history 26 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  every 12 months. I've always done quite a high mileage so it never really occured to me to check the dates as well as the mileage.. Lesson learnt for next time. Is a five year period without an oil change a worry if its only done 10k or should I not be too worried about this? The car
• Honda Accord DTECH 2.2 - VSA Triangular sign ON 17 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  engine oil is from Honda dealer. The only item could not be replaced is fuel filter as the mechanic could not open the fuel filter housing cap so he removed the housing from the car and try opening it,  he did not want to apply extra force in case it break the housing which would cost £300

  or similar premium fuel and return the car to the main agent who will add a fuel system service additive to the tank, change the engine oil and download the ECU and hope that cures the problem. Has anyone any idea what the hell is going on??? I'm wondering if Peugeot just want to keep
