Hi how does the trim at the bottom of the front bumper come off

Bakerlite.... How old are you? 😂😂. Plastic. Gets hot then cold and after a million uses it cracks.

i dont understand what your sayng

I noticed this handle dosent have a keyhole will that complicate things or will it be the same way ?

Quick question when you remove for paint can you close the door as my car is not on a drive it’s across the road from my house

Where did u buy this part from ??

well you should left one halogen so we can see the difference between them

I've got a weird one with my daughter's 2003 1.3 duratec Fiesta. It was losing coolant from the thermostat housing so I replaced that with a new one and it's still dropping coolant. There's no visible leaks and it doesn't drop it while parked so it must be when under pressure. The weird thing is that the car drives really well, there's no mayo on the filler cap, no white smoke when warmed up, no fault codes, no misfires. Other than the coolant loss there's absolutely no evidence for a head gasket, yet I'm suspicious. Time for a pressure test I think,.

In principle this is a great idea but in practice doesn’t work or requires Herculean strength to line the alternator up to the engine block again. Best way imo is to follow this up until you’ve got the old belt off, then to nip the alternator bolts up, put the belt onto the alternator and PAS pulley, then using a £10 stretch fit tool (can find on Amazon or eBay) on the crank pulley, then turning the crank forcing the belt onto the pulley. That way you are putting stress on the belt (as intended) rather than any bolts or threads trying to re-align the alternator. You’ll need to push the belt well onto the water pump before you start turning the crank pulley as it’ll try to ping itself off. Once done you can tighten up alternator bolts and it’s party time… some great ideas to help me get started though so thanks for the vid mate

Whats the small belt for on it then? I always thought it was for AC but a friend says that powers the power steering pump

And I paid 80€😢 for change

Beam pattern non existent 🤦‍♂️

Just got an 04 fiesta thanks for the troubleshooting tips

Just got a used 1.0 and trying to get my money back. But they want me to prove it even has a problem!? It’s losing coolant and one hot day when I got home from a 20 minute drive the coolant water was boiling. I can’t seem to make it do it again though as I want to video it. Also the plastic is swollen where the coolant is. This was a 30 degree day and now the weather is cooler it doesn’t seem to do it.

Just took the door card of for no reason haha

Great video good explaining saves time

How would I know if it is the housing or the pump leaking, when I fill the tank it immediately starts to leak, if it were the pump would it leak immediately? Leaking without the engine running. Thanks.

Thanks

When the engine is really hot my fan doesn’t work and the coolant comes back into the reservoir and goes all over the floor out of the cap I can’t find anything on why its happening.

This video complete whack. Loosening those bolts on alternator hardly makes any difference. I removed cover underneath and walked belt on via crank pulley like most fords. Wasted 30mins trying to do it via alternator

Need change thermo. So take off belt Aux alternator. Can you re fit old belt that looks new. Looks like had a new Alty and belt. Thermo over heats car

When times were fun £150 engines

Anyone know the screw size needed for the actuator that was pushed down in the video? Mine is missing and I need to buy a replacement to get the handle working again.

Just done this with help from this video. Longest time for me was getting the hoses off the thermostat housing. You need to get them moving by twisting and pulling up and down. For people who asked about getting the alternator back on: Put the belt on the alternator and put the bottom nut in. Do not fully tighten it. Swing the alternator up and apply right pressure to line up the top bolts. Evenly tighten the two top bolts. When bleeding the system, there is a bleed screw on the top right of the radiator if you were to look at it from insdie the engine. Undo that nut and pure coolant in to the expansion tank until coolant comes out of the bleed screw. Tighten the bleed screw. Put the cap on the expansion tank and run the car at 3000 rpm for 2 minutes. Top up coolant if necessary . Run the car again at 3000rpm for 2minutes. Top up coolant if necessary. Make sure you've got hot air in the cabin and you should be good to go. The whole job took me about 5 hours. Never want to do it again. I was dead after that.

lets say £20 for the housing, £20 for the thermostat (might as well ge t a new one while your there) £20 for the 5ltr of coolant. it's really recommended to change the drive belt as well if you're gonna remove the alternator so that's another £20 that's £80 in total if you did it yourself. if a garage did it they would proberbly charge maybe £30 an hour(can't see them taking more than an hour to do it) that would come to £110 maybe a bit more. the question is , is it worth all the hastle doing it myself or pay a little extra and let the garage do it? the thing about this kind of job is the great satisfaction you get when it's all finished and you;ve done it yourself. decisions, decisions. love these mk6 fiesta vids i'm learning a lot of stuff, keep up the great work mate.

Thank you so much mate. I have to do this job to respray the clear lacquer on the piece.subbed

Does that car have air con belt

Hi! Thank you for the video. Only a question: so you didn't pull away the alternator belt? It is not necessary? You only took off the alternator and you rested it on there ?

Got this today on st180 owned for 5 months ffs

Is it the same on drivers door with an actual lock ?

Tried this on 1.6 petrol zetec mondeo same layout however, the alternator does not line up it jerks to the left of the bolt hole, impossible to get it to line up as nothings metal just plastic so prying on nothing to get back line

Thanks for this - I used a plastic tool I have for trim removal - not sure if I should clean and put back or paint or perhaps wrap ?

Where is the temperature sensor located 2013 Ford Fiesta S

This video was so helpful to me. Thanks for making it!

That bolt with the torx head on it is proving my undoing

I’ve got Novsight H7 LEDs in my Golf Mk4! They look great and their white! I’ve never been flashed at all by oncoming traffic so I had no problems with it as mine has got reflector housings. Did you ever been flashed at all?

Bro i need help

That’s what you call short and sweet 👍 thanking you for making the video.

Same engine on Fusion 1.4 UK....this 2005 car originally my sons have changed header tank about 3 times.. we found when in traffic or bumper to bumper switch AC on with fan running to keep fan on constantly to cool everything... dont know if correct solution to problem but seems to work... M

Nice one man, someone told me I had to take door card off to get the handle off, glad I checked KZbin first you've saved me a lot of time and swearing

Top man just followed your video. Thanks really helped me

On average how long does this job take... i have a feeling ive been ripped off on this repair job on my car

The Haynes manual says nothing about pressing that bit down all the way before refitting. Frustration gone, money saved! Thank you.

Thanks mate spent ages trying to get the door handle back in this afternoon

Hey man! It looks great... I was just wondering how the chairs slide forward without pulling on the wires.

Im looking for the same bonnet grill. . Urgent plz

Pa fala ti brate

There's no tensioner strange that.. Poor design Ford

Hi nice video! I have fiesta 2007 1.3 duratec, There is a small leakage on engine radiator, but didn't touch it because it was so minor ( topped it up every 2 months or so). Then I spotted that when you use cabin heating, the leakage is higher ( need toping up frequently, like every week or shorter), but when not used it's again minor. Can you help and point to a where the leakage is? Thanks
