![]() I am hoping they've done a good job with it. The bill came to 1.04L (you read it right). However, thanks to bumper-to-bumper insurance, I'll be paying only about 4K. The car at 56,000 kms (just before the accident) feels like new, and had zero rattles. I don't know how many cars (way more expensive ones) can even say that. I hope this service hasn't affected the car (very tense) I think it is time to go ahead with the remap (since I am feeling adventurous). I am a little nervous that I shouldn't spoil the car. I am also planning to change all the four tires. Can any experts recommend the best ones available now? Priorities 1. Handling 2. Ride 3. Stickiness (esp in wet) 4. Not too soft (to avoid visits to puncture shops!) | |

There are many remappers now a days. We have threads on them. You can search for "Wolfmoto" to start with. Please do a thorough research. I once read in a thread that there were not many who actually change the code, albiet they would just change values of the program, the former is better. I had the same requirements for tyres and got Yoko Earth 1 for mine. They stick good, ride is better with these, handling is super hot and are not very soft unlike Michelins and Yoko A drives that keep getting punctured. | |

The best part about them, they are very honest and no marketing talks, like their remap won't effect anything .. Etc. I will get my fiesta remapped by them once I cross 5k. Quote:

When i inquired about Eco Sport then, they said the ECU was not as simple as 1.4 and requires to be removed from the vehicle. I assume that the same is in the Fiesta too. This is not to scare you but just for your information. Waiting to read a review of Fiesta on steroids ![]() | ||

On the fiesta, talking to the sync to play tracks is fun. Since it does not recognise regional words, it plays randomly. And that acts as a second level shuffle ![]() | |

![]() Fiesta likes the tyres to be a little harder. Even with the stock Goodyear's, the car is more fun when the air pressure is up. So, do look at something with slightly stiffer sidewalls if you are sticking with 15". Continental has some good options. | |

| ![]() I got back the car and it is in splendid shape ![]() It has new parts for almost everything except doors ![]() I got Yokohoma Earth 1 (stock size - 196/60/R15) as new set of shoes for the Fiesta. The car feels even better to drive now! I am going off topic here. But, I wanted to update everyone that all is well! Since I just paid almost 20K for the tires, I am postponing my remap by a couple of months. There are are a couple of scratches in the side of the car (older ones) which need to be fixed too. One thing at a time! It may not be very useful now, but still I'll start an ownership thread. Life can start at 56 (K kms) too! |

| ![]() Fellow Fiesta Owners. I signed up in the Ford Owners Page and got the Update SYNC message.The update is 526 MB and needs a USB to be plugged in the laptop. Very slow to down load. ![]() The updates on the new firmware is given below. Please use IE 11 and not any the browser. After the firm ware is saved in the USB. Plug the same in the USB slot and choose Install SYNC application from the SYNC settings Menu. It confirms to have installed in few minutes but you will get another confirmation after 15-20 minutes. The immediate difference is that the system tells you every time to use the voice commands rather than the switches to avoid concentration lapse from the road. Hope its useful to every one ![]() |

As my car is relatively new, I am selfishly assuming that the update has already been done by Ford ASS ![]() | |
