I've got a WP fiesta which is 2weeks out of warranty. with only 45xxxkm on the clock.
Yesterday my car started to have a rough idle and the check engine light came on. So I drove it into my local ford service centre in St leonards, only 5minutes away from work. I was first told that the ignition coils were faulty and they were going to replace the faulty one (1pm same day). I called back at about 4pm to find that the welsh key(or plug) can't remember, was corroded. Was told the car won't be ready today, should be fine for pickup tomorrow. Called in this morning to find that they were still working on it. Get a call at 2pm this afternoon to find out that it was non of the problems as explained earlier but the crankcase (i think that is what he said) had corroded and will need a new one. They don't have any here, and will need to wait till next week for a new one (can't give me a date). Also, FORD have said that they will pay for the part, but have yet to decide whether they will pay for labour (est. $800).... I'm hoping they come to the party since it is a part that was faulty, not something that has deteriorated over time. So fingers crossed, I get my car back next week. Also I'll now have to fork out for a hire car, as they won't provide a loan car.... anyone else had a similar problem? |
