[@BrandanHewitt]

She is my babe, the channel has been quiet but I have so much content I need to edit. Thank you so much for the support it means a lot. This Ford Figo will always be my baby🔥

[@informaltube]

Thanks Brandan. I've just successfully serviced my car for the first time by myself thanks to your video. I did however, struggle getting that oil tank open the bolt is so tight .so I haven't changed the oil yet.

[@BrandanHewitt]

It's a pleasure that's why I create these videos I'm glad it helped you, yes the oil drain bolt is very tight just make sure you use jack stands when under the car and gran yourself a breaker bar or any piece of pipe you can add to the ratchet that should help make it easier to remove

[@softangler3040]

I guess you need a good leverage

[@BrandanHewitt]

The extra length of the pipe moves the anchor point

[@michaelappolus6284]

I think fan belt you might want to send to competent person.

[@BrandanHewitt]

I do have a qualified mechanic that does overseas the major service things , Cam belt is something I won't do myself as I don't want to be the cause that I have to replace the engine. But the only way to learn is through experience

[@lebohangleornard9624]

Gudday, it was my first time doing service to my ford figo,l experience oil coming from oil filter when l remove it, or is it normal

[@BrandanHewitt]

Yes that is completely normal as the excess oil will still drain from the housing l, It will leak more if you didn't drain the oil first

[@gregsletcher3601]

I got a question. I've got oil coming out of what you referred to as a breather pipe. What can I replace or check regarding this issue? Would appreciate some advice.

[@BrandanHewitt]

Hey brother so if it's an excessive amount of oil it means your rings on the pistons are most likely on their way out so oil is pushing past them. May be try take the car to a mechanic so they can pressure test it just to make sure before doing any repairs

[@t-suspect_0058]

Its good that your showing people, if I did a video it wouldn't be as helpful,,, I work at a Ford dealer so I just go do it at the workshop on a lift😂

During the drainage of oil,is it OK if l put the car on steep area on flt is fine, and is OK while the engine is still hot to drain out oil or must l wait for it to be cold.l actually want the hole oil to be out with its last tip😀

[@BrandanHewitt]

If it's possible to angle bthe car up slightly yes that would work the best to get all the old oil out, I would suggest draining bwhen hot as the oil will be in its most liquid form. 5w30 oil is to be used

[@rudolphsmit3911]

I have a 1.4l turbo diesel ford figo 2015 will the service be te same as this one?

[@BrandanHewitt]

It would be different as oil filter is in a different location and oil type will be different but diesel filter should be in the same place

[@EugeneEB]

Can you tell us about that k&n filter bro? Where how what etc please

[@BrandanHewitt]

Hey Eugene, so as you can see I got the OEM replacement, I bought mine from Autostyle in Johannesburg. I bought the oil kit there as well but this was in 2018😂

[@stuartwarrenwilsworth9485]

Have you had your exhaust changed? Are you running your car just on on the K&N filter and has it changed the sound of your car?

[@BrandanHewitt]

Yes I have I have the SWR branches as well with a 50 mm stainless steel exhaust. The K&N panel filter doesn't make any sound difference

[@jabulanimhlanga1453]

Hi Brandan, do I need to release fuel pressure before replacing the fuel filter? And if so how do I go about it?

[@BrandanHewitt]

Best would be to open your fuel cap, but with the line having fuel in it is going to mess abit no matter what

[@akshaypremanand2866]

Very helpful video bro , just wanted to know how much oil is required in litres ?

[@BrandanHewitt]

Hey Romeo soo A exhaust is a good start but if you have some money see if you can get SWR stage 1 cams with the Branch exhaust and if possible try getting a unichip q installed, that's basically it for power unless you want to motor swop

That's something you will have to do bro, that takes time and my time is very valuable. Visit stevewyndhamracing.com Steve Wyndham Racing for the Cams and branch And Unichip q you can try find a tuner close to you just phone them and ask if they install, you can find those 2nd hand on Gumtree for bout R3500.

Sorry but which company will stamp the book of someone who does their own services and uses a scrapper to check the gap of of the spark plugs?

[@BrandanHewitt]

That's why you have a certified mechanic oversee and check the work once complete. We all learn and I have certainly and use the correct tools now

[@andreaturco4676]

@@BrandanHewitt I'm not bashing you Brandan. It's excellent that you try and do things like this yourself but you cannot expect a company to put their stamp on work they have not done themselves. And if they have to check everything you have done they will probably charge the same as a service so you saving on the parts only. Just a thumbs up...do your own work but say nothing about getting the book stamped next time.They know if a qualified person hasn't done the job they not getting a stamp in their service book.

[@informaltube]
