ford fiesta guide Q&A Review

Why aren't automatic cars more popular in the UK?

Reading replies about automatic transmission it seems to me that in the USA, there are now huge numbers of people who have never driven a manual, never seen anyone drive a manual and that they are utterly confused by the whole idea. This is not the case in the UK, where a huge majority of drivers passed their test on a manual. They may have later bought an automatic, but like riding a bicycle, if you have driven a manual, and then used an automatic for many years it really only takes a few minutes to get back into the habit of changing gears. So those who drive automatics do so because they choose to. There are loads of manuals around, they are really common and in most families it is likely there will be a mix of manuals and automatics. Also if you hire a van say, or use a pool car it will likely as not be a manual. Then you need to look at the cars a lot of people drive. The most common are small hatchbacks (think Ford fiesta), often diesel powered, these are nippy, small, handy things used for commuting and running around locally. A number are not even available with automatic and others require you to buy the larger engined more expensive version to get an automatic transmission. Frankly an automatic version of many of these is not a terribly enjoyable drive. So for many of the small cars used by a majority, automatics do not necessarily make a lot of sense. Of course as you move up into Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover territory then a majority will be automatics, but as a guide, of the 12,000 odd used Ford Fiestas on the UK Autotrader site only 900 were automatics. Therefore if you are looking for a small automatic car you will have a much smaller choice of vehicles.

What is the lifestyle of an IAS officer?

Thanks for the A2A. Surabhi Surendra,, wife of a young IAS officer, has already given a beautiful and honest answer to this question. There are some other good answers by ,Surya Kulshreshtha,, ,Kunal Mehra,, et al. I thought of using some of my grey cells to further elaborate and supplement all these answers. After 25 long years in the IAS, I am living in my 16th house and, my executive record sheet shows, I am on my 28th assignment. The positions included field assignments, positions in State secretariats and in the Government of India, each having different nature of job, perks and facilities. Lifestyle, which includes nature of work and perks available, depends a lot on the assignment handled and can be broadly classified into 3 categories: Field assignments (SDM, DM, etc.) State Secretariat Central Government The answer by Surabhi Surnedra broadly covers the field assignments. For a sincere and committed officer, field assignments can be extremely demanding. Days usually begin early morning and end by late evening/night. As DM, my work schedule usually started at 9 am, the office hours were mostly spent in meeting the public, handling official meetings, court works, etc. On days I could follow my routine, I would take a break for about 2 hours in the evening for a visit to gym, some time with the family and early dinner. File works could usually be done only during night from 8 pm onwards and could go upto 11 pm. Tourings, esp. during summer, would start early morning. There were many occasions when the work schedule extended upto 16-18 hours. I put in a max of about 36 hours of continuous work during a crisis situation. Many of my colleagues might have put in even more. Till about 15 years back, when the polling in elections was through ballot papers, counting of votes usually continued for 24-48 hours and all staff (yes, not only DM/IAS officers) involved in the counting, once inside the counting hall, could leave only after it was over. A position at the State Secretariat/ Directorate is usually not that challenging and neither are the facilities so good. Nature of work depends on the department one is posted in and also the work allocation within the department. Facilities vary a lot across the states. Usually, houses (at the same seniority levels) are modest compared to what a DM/SP/DFO and other field functionaries get. Telephone bills are usually reimbursed only upto a certain limit; no reimbursement of electricity bills; and houses are usually not furnished. While posted in Ranchi secretariat, I, and many other officers, stayed in rented accommodations, many of us paying rents higher than our HRA entitlements. Work in the Government of India is usually more demanding than the state secretariats but less than the field assignments. Central Ministries provide a much broader canvass and exposure of dealing with national and international issues. To my young colleagues in IAS, my strong advice will be to do a mix of all the three kinds of assignments. In Government of India, houses are even more modest compared to the State capitals, if you draw a comparison at the same levels of seniority. The pics posted by Surya Kulshreshtha are of the New Moti Bagh Colony and, as things stand now, only officers of 25+ years of service may expect to get an allotment there. Telephone reimbursements are limited to about Rs 2200 p.m. (including landline, mobile and broadband), depending on your rank; no reimbursement of electricity bills; no furnishings; and, except the positions of Private Secretaries to Ministers, usually no vehicle upto the Director level. So, if someone decides to come to the Centre at Director level or below, i.e., during the first 17-18 years of service in IAS, he needs to arrange for his own transport. And this is what I did. In 2005, after 13 years of service, I applied for central deputation and was posted as Deputy Secretary in Defence. Since purchasing a new car would have taken some more time, I borrowed the car of my father-in-law, a Maruti 800 DX, and sent the car to Delhi at a friend’s house a couple of days before I was to reach there. My flight landed at 9 am on 27th June 2005. I went straight to my friend’s house, picked up the car, drove it to the State Bhawan, which was to be my temporary shelter for the next few days, freshened up and drove to South Block. I drove up the Raisina Hills but didn’t find a place to park the car. As I was driving around Vijay Chowk slowly looking for a parking place, I found a traffic police, stopped and asked him if there was parking place around. He guided me to the parking place, close to Vijay Chowk and asked for Rs 100. Aghast, I asked him if he charges for showing directions. He politely said, “You are not using seat belt.” He checked my driving license and handed over the receipt. I thanked him for reminding me of an important lesson on the very first day in Delhi and drove on. Since then, using seat belt has been a part of my driving culture. A few days later, I parked my Maruti near the inner circle of CP (and there were quite a few cars parked there) and went to purchase a couple of kids’ books to keep my sons busy in the single room accommodation in the State Bhawan. After 10 minutes, I came back and found my car missing. It was towed away for being parked in the “no parking” zone. But why my car only when there were many other cars around? Well, someone pointed out that in all the other cars, drivers were sitting. So, people in self-driven mode are more vulnerable! The wise men around showed me the direction to the spot near Hanuman Mandir where I could get my car. I walked to the place in the sweltering heat, paid around Rs 400, major portion of which was the towing charge, got the car back and moved on. Another lesson learnt, I emerged wiser. So, yes, “all powerful” IAS officers are also equally responsible when it comes to abiding rules and regulations and vulnerable if they violate. Borrowed Maruti was only a temporary solution. I needed to purchase a car. Since childhood, my concept of car was “car with a boot” (well, it has changed now, considering Delhi traffic). The least expensive “car with a boot” was TATA Indigo costing a little over Rs. 5 lakh. Even that was beyond my means, so I decided to purchase a second hand car. I got a decent deal for Rs. 3.46 lakh, financed part by car loan of Rs 1.80 lakh, maximum amount that the government could provide, and the rest from my PPF. The previous owner, incidentally, was a former civil services aspirant, who stayed in Delhi and tried thrice (max number of attempts during those days). After exhausting all his attempts, he became a contractor. During 3 years of his business in Bihar, he had purchased a TATA Indigo and was selling it off to purchase a Skoda. Not bad! Sure there are better ways of earning money than getting into IAS. He might have thanked his stars that he didn’t get into IAS. At this point, a comparison with similarly qualified persons will probably not be out of place. A close relative of mine had done mechanical engineering from IITD and MBA from IIM, Calcutta. I have done Mech from IITK and getting into IAS is perhaps tougher and almost as grueling as doing an MBA from IIM. He started working in 2004 with a multinational company getting Rs 15 lakh per annum and, in just a little over one year of service, purchased a Ford Fiesta for himself and a Hyundai Santro for his father. And here I was. After 13 years of service, monthly salary was about Rs. 22000 (with GPF reduction at the minimum possible), out of which Rs 5000+ was for school fees of two children. The balance was for paying all utility bills and the day to day expenses, apart from maintaining a decent standard of living which “IAS officers are supposed to have”. So, all dear friends out there, the lifestyle is not lavish and not luxurious, just decent. That too, with a lot of struggle. And that is the case with most of the IAS officers if you leave out the fringe elements who are corrupt and dishonest and, unfortunately, have become the face of IAS. They are the news materials for the media, not those who are honest, upright, capable and efficient. So, what are the takeaways? Should one join IAS despite so many constraints? Sure yes, if you are looking for challenges. Despite all ups and downs, IAS provides unmatched challenges and ample opportunities to work for the country and for the people. All our power, privileges and facilities are meant to achieve that goal and not to be exercised in our own selfish interests. IAS provides a fairly decent lifestyle, esp. after the sixth pay commission. But if someone is looking for a lavish lifestyle, 5-star luxuries, destination wedding and lots of power to be exercised at his/her own sweet will, my request to him/her will be … ….please have mercy on the people of this country and look elsewhere!

What should I know about buying my first used car? I am 17 and I’m saving up to buy a used car before going to university. What should I look out for before buying a car I like?

You first want to figure out what you can afford. Remember that a car also requires insurance, fuel and sometimes upkeep. Once you determine how much you can afford go looking for cars, at reputable dealers. Find a salesperson who you trust. Go with your father or mother or an older brother or sister. Cars I would personally look at if I were your father would be the Ford Fiesta or Focus. I happen to be a Ford guy. I sole them for ten years. After you choose a car then how are you going to pay for it. Cash or credit. At 17 you will need an adult to cosign if you are financing. Let me know if you have any further questions. I will guide you to the next level.

Is it worth it to repair a Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCI engine?

The Ford Fiesta 1.4 Tdci is an excellent engine and depending upon the present condition of the engine, if more details are shared about, it we could give our professional advise. Also you should have a good mechanic and a lathe whonis willing to do the job. Also first get a list of the spares availability like the bearings, piston and rings, valves, guides, cam shaft etc

Which used car should I buy in 2021 among Fiat Linea, Ford Fiesta, or Volkswagen Vento all of 2010 model?

You have picked out quite an interesting set of choices from the second hand market. It would have been much clearer had you mentioned parameters like kms driven, number of owners or the asking price to name a few. Anyways, I will try to analyse about each car mentioned above to give you a bit of a clear picture: Fiat Linea. The Fiat Linea is a great product and is easily the most spacious out of the three. While it has a lot of space at the rear, tall pepole might not find the headroom in the car to be adequate. It has a lot going for it like solid built, good features list and a great set of engines. However, with Fiat having left India back in 2018, you might experience difficulty in finding spare parts for the car. Many Fiat owners have since then either sold their respective vehicles or have given it for scrap, with the major reason being the inability to maintain them for the long run. But you can consider yourself lucky if you come in contact with a person specialized in Fiat's who can guide you. If you really want to own the Linea I suggest you go for it, but after doing a bit of homework. Fiat's are prone to a few teething problems which though could be repaired by a normal mechanic, might cost you a fortune. Keeping that aside, there are so many Linea’s available for prices below Rs.3 lakhs in the used car market, which in first glance seem to be great value for money. Ford Fiesta. If you look for driving pleasure out of the three, the Fiesta remains to be the suitable pick. It is the best handling car out of the three, has a punchy set of engines both in petrol and diesel and like the Linea, could also be available for cheap. Look out for examples of the Fiesta 1.6 S, which is getting a lot of enthusiast attention owing to it being a collectors model. In terms of spares and service, it depends on whether the Ford dealership in your city does have spares available for your car. If not, you might have to be content with those of the first generation Figo, which shares a lot of parts with the Fiesta. In fact, being an owner of the previous generation Figo, there were many instances of our Ford dealer handing out parts of the Fiesta to us before. Maintainance could very much be on the higher side and if you buy a petrol model of the car, I suggest you to regularly check the engine by revving since it has a tendency to lose power which might turn out to be problematic. The Diesel one is okay but that doesn't change the fact that it would also be one having a high cost of maintainance. But for the performance the car gives, I see a lot of Fiesta owners not minding about the previous aspect which is okay. Volkswagen Vento. The Vento remains to be the safer of the three choices due to the fact that it is still in production now. It has remained unchanged ever since its launch in 2010, meaning spares offered on the 2021 car could more or less be the same. Not quite sure on the costs of the spare parts though as Volkswagen’s have a tendency of being very difficult to maintain. This would mean spare part prices could be on the higher side, which is not a great sign. Other than that, there are rumours that the Vento could be phased out by next year as Volkswagen are planning a replacement for it. That will be on the lines of the current generation Virtus, sold in many markets as the next generation of the Vento. But again, the Vento is more than a fine car to own with it having a lot going for it. The body is built to last, there is a lot of boot space and the engines can deliver a good amount of fun. Unlike that of the Linea or Fiesta, the engine of the Vento can run for long with good care taken of it, hence if you find one with less km driven there is a lot of potential left in the engine which you can churn out. Maybe this could have helped you in getting a clearer picture of which car you might want to own. At the moment, I can only hope that the purchase you make turns out to be a fruitful one in the long run. I'll try to help you out if I can when it comes to maintaining the car after you made the purchase. Thank you.

I was involved in an accident ten months ago driving a 2004 1.3L Ford Fiesta, I was not able to find parts a replacement engine. Are there any engines from other manufacturers that can be swapped into the car?

The Car is British made, I am an aspiring Engineering student and I would like to tune and upgrade the car following its repair. Also hoping to find someone kind enough to help and guide me along the way.

How do you connect an iPhone Bluetooth to a Ford Fiesta radio?

1. The Bluetooth feature must be activated on the phone and on the audio unit. Make sure the Bluetooth menu option in the audio unit is set to ON. For information on phone settings, refer to your phone user guide. 2. The private mode must not be activated on the Bluetooth phone. 3. Search for audio device. 4. Select Ford Audio. 5. Enter the code number shown on the vehicle display using the phone keypad. If no code number is shown on the display, enter the Bluetooth PIN number 0000 using the phone keypad. Now enter the Bluetooth PIN number shown on the vehicle display.

How often should I change the oil in my Ford Fiesta?

The others may have written what is reasonable and prudent. However, I will offer an alternate. What you do, is get an analysis of your ,driving habits for the next 100 miles. Of that 100 miles , add up how many are cold miles (first 15 minutes of driving). Then add up how many are highway miles. Now compare this to a well known 'standard' for driving. Pick any of them Euro 4 Euro 5 EPA 1980 EPA 1990 EPA 2000 EPA 2010. Now compare the 'standard' to your driving. Are you 'harder' or 'lighter' on the miles that are cold, stop-start or extremely hot. Now, you can compare when you should be changing your oil. The oil reminder , as part of some option clusters is only a guide, based on standard oil. Expect a 30% longer lifetime with ,Synthetic Oil,, however your minder (computer) will not know you have synthetic in there. So ignore the time value of the minder, to add 40% in time or 30% in miles. Then send your old oil to a lab, that will confirm your interval.

Should a 2012 Ford Fiesta have pressure in the crankcase if you remove the oil filler cap while the engine is running?

This is determined by the PCV valve. There is a slight positive pressure on many engines to keep the seals on the crankshaft flywheel and timing case ends in full contact. In a secondary or forces some oil down the valve guides to lubricate them which is also the a problem with GDi engines for the input valves as manifold vacuum adds to that pressure differential and results in carbon build up on the top side of the valve head. This oil gets washed off in EFI port injection and unless the GDi engine has twin injectors like Toyota results in sooting up of the inlet valve.
