Hello, on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, the shipment file 08 on SAT.1 will report among other things about the Ford customer center. It will not be a pleasant contribution for Ford in Cologne and it will come to light what the Ford customer center in Cologne thinks of its customers and what advice one gives. I recommend anyone who has had problems with the Ford customer center to look at this post. Background for this is a now 4 year old dispute between Ford and our C-Ma x who doesn’t drive. Ford will say in this post that a Ghia is not a blemish if the vehicle doesn’t start after a 3-day standstill. “With so many electronic parts, the buyer simply has to reckon with it”. Advice to mitigate this not existing blemish is among other things: 1. With a distance of less than 10 km prefer to walk, be healthier anyway. Because under 10 km drive per day the battery cannot recharge. 2. D If you don’t have a garage with a power outlet, please take a new battery in the trunk. 3. The best way to do without the radio while driving. 4. Sell the vehicle to the east or to a dealer (but not from Ford). Etcetera Etcetera With this article, we want to give Ford Cologne the opportunity to reconsider its customer policy. So if you really don’t believe it, look at file 08 tomorrow!

I have just come across a comparative test in the car newspaper: http://www.autozeitung.de/…/premièren-fieber&show=messwerten Here you can see clearly that the focus not only consumes the least, it is also the weakest in comparison, but also by far the greatest difference between the standard and the test consumption, only 1.1l. All others with their great, oh so economical Dowsize turbo engines need in practice at least 2 liters more and also the BMW with its As with the Audi and VW TSI, even in reality 2.5l needs more than on the brochure. So all the great technology only brings nothing on paper and in practice, apart from the cost of purchasing, maintenance and repair! How do you see it, Ford is good advice to continue to rely conservatively on durable suction engines or should one also run after the fashion trend to charge small engines, which then only need less fuel on paper?

As in previous years, we would like to know how you came through the previous year with your mobile kit. Were you satisfied or were there worries and troubles with your vehicle or the service of the manufacturer?Even if you have voted in December: In some forums the survey was broken. Because all MOTOR-TALKers should have the same chance to express their opinion, we decided to close the survey in general and start over now. n News: How satisfied were you in 2014 with your Ford? Vote in the poll and external praise or criticism as a comment. We have to many manufacturers a direct wire and they read with them on MOTOR-TALK. That’s why your opinion comes exactly where it should end up: at Ford.

Christmas is the time of wishes. Usually these go in the form of a wish list to Santa Claus. Well, we’re all out of age and besides, this is a forum around the topic car and motor. But why not even pick up the idea and use the opportunity here instead of addressing the wishes to Santa Claus directly to Ford? Since we are already in direct conversation with almost all manufacturers, the chance is great that your wishes are also read we rden. So if you had a wish, what would you want from Ford for the year 2011?

As time is running. The year is already almost around again and it is hopefully an accident-free and eventful driver year behind you. As in the past years, we would like to take stock at the end of the year and ask you how you came through the year 2013 with your mobile kit. Was everything to your satisfaction or were there worries and annoyances with your vehicle or the service of the manufacturer?How satisfied were you in 2013 with your Ford? Voice in the Survey from time to time as a comment Your praise or criticism. We have to many manufacturers a direct wire and the manufacturers also read on MOTOR-TALK. That’s why your opinion comes exactly where it should land: at Ford.

Hello guys, have an acute problem with my 93er Mondeo 2.0 16V, I noticed at the gas station that I lost a lot of oil (1 drop per second), whole underbody full of oil, brakes right side full of oil. The oil comes out somewhere above the oil filter, thought it was the oil filter first, but looks like that. So could not quickly locate where the leak is exactly. The car is now 200 km away and I have to decide quickly whether to get the car, or before Or There are well-known chess spots like cracked flange to the oil filter, oil pressure switch or there is something else in the area that just dies like that (what costs and how much is the effort to repair damage). It looks like the oil will come from above and drop down over the oil filter. Upstairs everything looks good. Would be grateful for any input!! Wilhelm

We have a Sierra 2.0 CLX DOHC built in 1991. Yesterday I noticed, when I wanted to start in the 3rd gear right up to 100 km/h, that it only pulls well, if you push the accelerator pedal about half through, but then you push the accelerator further through, no more extra power. What can this be about? Is there something wrong? I know that we will soon get a new air filter and an oil change/new oil filter. Does that have something to do with it, or is the engine because of the age of 12 years just not so powerful? But I think the problem was already there when the air filter and the oil were new. Maybe there is something wrong with the pedal?? I’m sorry if the stupid questions are, but I don’t really know about car technology.

hi, I guess I have a somewhat strange question which certainly can not be answered so easily, but what would you say would be the ideal maturation width? especially ground adhesion in all situations is a criterion – so not so very optical, but rather things like steering-easy-accessibility, sprite consumption, aquaplanning vulnerability etc. to name an example, so an increase in the maturation width from 145 to 155 would bring more than an increase from 245 to 255 (although both are only 1 cm is t) It is estimated that the sensibility of wider matures with increasing size will decrease exponentially – optically of course exactly turned around by the way a ford fiesta – the rule may however apply anyway to all cars of this class mfg Flinky

Hi all together, I have a Ford Sierra ’91 88kw DOHC Touring 170,000Km. The car does not drive great noises (chain rattles) and no permanent white in the exhaust gases. The porblem is that the radiator fans do not start. If the car is standing and running it gets quite normal warm, the indicator rises and is at some point on three quarters and the fans do not react. That’s why the car has already overcooked with an AU but nothing happened to me, engine was switched off before. I also have a new sensor installed with the 5 connectors which is on the front side under the suction socket. But it didn’t work either. Then tested the fans with bridge this plug. Only by leading the power I got it running (cable from battery to the negative poles of the plug) because nothing happens by normal bridge. What can I do or what is it because. MFG Sir Alex XXII

Hello Ford-Talker, please look at the picture in the attached thread: my father bought the car as accident-free (from the dealer) 1.5years old and 17Tkm on the clock. Now the flaws break through here: the bumper rusts, 3 out of 5 doors, at the mirror triangle vr runs water in the interior, the varnish dissolves on various plastic parts and the gap dimensions… Is this OK? Do your mooneos look like that? Do they rust at the doors?
