Unni, nice to know that the judder has gone & the braking is back to normalclap:. As I had mentioned elsewhere, I think discs are an issue with the Fiesta, two sets of mine have been replaced under warranty. 42k kms in 31 months - good going:D |

unni 41800kms in 31 months - almost 44kms per day And you said 3 months the car was idle, otherwise the odo might have crossed 50000kms? (because you like to touch border whenever you feel -LOL). Now, with Your fiesta is back in good condition after the service, hope you will start driving more and more miles.! |

Sorry for my ignorancestupid:, but does replacing the brake discs also call for replacing the brake pads. Are these two changes in unison? Please find below the link which gives the reason for warped disc. It says the warping might occur again if root cause is not rectified. Actually was going above my head. Information on Brake pads, discs, calipers and fluid. |

Alloys can have a bend. But, usually if you hit a pothole fast and hard, they crack. In your case, they might have got a slight bend. Why the tyre change though? If it has tread left for safe driving, just have the alloy changed. . |

Unni, first part of the doubt clarifies now. Is there any way I can fix the bend of an alloy. Regarding changing the tyres, SA said that normally people change at 40K. |

Anumod, what make is the OEM tyres your car came with? In most probability, the stick tyres would last you around 45-55k kms. You would need to take a call depending on the remaining tread as well as tyre condition. |

Cheers Unni.. I am too a proud owner of Fiesta 1.4 TDCi.. * Got the vehicle during Sep 2006 * Driven around 63,000 KMS. * Changed the tyres during 45K KMS * So far no issues (touch wood) except the visible difference in pickup.. Will engine de-carbonization help to improve the pickup? |

I've heard of machines that can remove the bend of a rim. Not sure of there are such ones for alloys. Maybe you should take opinion from a 3rd party tyre shop. Like Benny said, you should check the tyre wear and then take a call on when to change. There are people who get through tyres in 20-25k or even lesser. All depends on the way you drive and the roads you drive on. |

Thanks Bala. With regard to the pick up issue, what did the service center say? There could be many reasons for low pick up. Right from air filter being clogged to low compression etc. De-carbonization may help. Since you have mentioned that there is a visible difference in pick up, I suggest you get it checked by a professional. |

Are you using System-D by any chance? If not, why not try for couple of tank fills and see if it makes a difference. |
