| ![]() The difference in tyre circumference between lower(amb. & trend) and upper(titanium) variants is ~3%. How will this be accounted for in the speedometer? |

| ![]() Got the individual pack fitted in my EcoSport from Ford dealer. Following observations: 1. Reverse Camera is certainly handy for mall as well as our Society parking. Aids visibility a lot. 2. Didnt find too much utility or looks factor improvement by installing the rear spoiler. Hardly noticeable. 3. Scuff plates look great in the night. Will post some pics later. Have following questions to fellow BHPians who have got these accessories installed: 1. Instead of doing socket to socket wiring, the installation guy stripped the cables and joined the camera and scuff plates cables with the existing wiring. Is this correct way of doing it? When I protested, he informed me that it is as per Ford's wiring diagram and since I'm getting official accessories installed, my electrical warranty will remain in force. 2. The Camera is installed on top of rear number plate. It can be seen from a distance. Is there any way to protect the same from potential theft? It's just three screws and anyone can pull it out. Don't know if there is any other secure way of hiding the camera from others view. 3. It looks like scuff plates remain on all the time. Reason being, when I opened the car in the morning to get some documents out, the scuff plates were on even when the car was off (no ignition key inserted at all). Is this the case? Are scuff plates linked with passive anti theft system wiring? Regards, |

2.can you be more specific about the 2nd question.Is it fixed in the manner shown in picture. Thats how it is installed in my car. 3.Led scuff plates are connected to the door switch/interior light which swiches on irrespective of the ignition power, so work when the door is open and automatically switches off when the door is shut.

| ![]() Took the delivery of my Chill Metallic Diesel Titanium about 2 hours ago. ![]() I had booked my copy on first week of September. Was lucky to get the allocation before Diwali. No! Contacts or money was not used to get the allocation. I also didn't take dealer's mandatory accessories. Feeling great... Will start the ownership thread soon! |

| ![]() Hi, When I try to register, it asks for VIN number, and when I give the VIN number, it says "Your VIN is invalid or your vehicle doesn’t support SYNC™" Any help? Alternatively, can you please post the update file? Thanks Quote:

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I would suggest you to wait for sometime. Some of us received engine malfunction light. We doubt its because of the upgrade. I know the sync upgrade it nowhere related but this engine malfunction problem came all of a sudden and I strongly doubt its due to the upgrade. Even the service center technicians are having a hard time rectifying this. Wasted 2 days behind this. So I suggest you wait and maybe Ford themselves will update this upgrade file. |

| ![]() I went to cancel my Ecosport booking today at Harpreet Ford, Moti Nagar and saw on Ecosport being delivered. On asking, the guy told me that he had booked the car a couple of months back and had to find a strong approach to get the car. Wow! Went inside the showroom and the SA wasn't there and moreover, no senior person was present and hence, couldn't place the cancellation request. Still, talked to another sales consultant and she directly told us all the malpractices that are currently underway. According to her, a majority of the cars that are being delivered are via some or the other "approach" and plus, the customers who come to showroom, shout and threaten with a police action are being cleared off first. Even though we went there for cancelling the booking, hearing this left both me and my father quite disappointed. Will probably write a mail to Ford Global, Ford India MD and Harpreet Ford MD, with no hopes for a response. Have booked a Renault Duster and will be taking delivery soon! ![]() P.S. My father works for a major Car AC manufacturing firm that supplies ACs to companies such as Maruti, Nissan, Volkwagen, etc. The company earlier used to supply ACs to Ford India as well and my father has quite a few contacts over there. Still, we opted not to use any approach / resource, just to be disappointed in the end. |

Although, I keep enquiring about Ecosport 1.5 AT from all NCR dealers, haven't been to any other Ford dealer physically so dont know the scene at the rest of the places. Is Harpreet Ford like this or all are? From what I have read in the past so many pages on this thread, I see no "good" Ford dealer in NCR. sigh! Am not even an owner yet. Such tales here, keeps bringing back the idea of dropping the Ecosport (& more so Ford) altogether. | |

Yes. I booked the car on local dealership of Udaipur (K.S. Ford). Delivery experience was OK. I guess two factors worked in my favour:
Anyhow, I love driving this car. Spent full day just driving my love machine. Though there is no turbo-kick, the diesel engine is a breeze to drive in city. Super smooth. Felt a pain while leaving the beauty in apartment parking! | |

| ![]() Hello All, Happy to tell you that I have taken the delivery of my ecosport yesterday. Attaching some quick pics. Guys, please be aware that the Drivers Foot mat comes with the car ans it is your right to have it. My dealer initially refused to give me that saying that it comes with the essential pack and that since I had not taken the pack I cannot have it. Then I told them that it is mentioned in the Ford website and started to browse in my phone to show them. Then they agreed. The mud flaps were bought from eBay and they look and fit as the original. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
