| ![]() I've just got my car serviced for free @ 2000 Kms. However I do not see any oil change being done or mentioned on the service card. Don't Ford change the engine oil after engine break in? Really confused! |

| ![]() Nope. The first oil change will be at 10,000 kms. Interestingly , when I bought my first Fiesta the oil change was at 5,000 kms interval. When I bought my second Fiesta the oil change intervals for the same model with same engine was changed to 10,000 kms. |

| ![]() Wow, I can understand 5k kms. But 10k is when the next service is scheduled and I can't help but wonder all these metal particles circulating in the oil for that long. All I can think of is that every engine is already pre-run-in at the factory before being installed. Otherwise those metal particles would definitely damage the engine. |

The projector connectors are plug and play.but headlamp has to be opened to install projector lens. I didnt take too many pics during installation. But i can write some instructions during this week of how i did it. The turn indicators connections are tapped from indicator line and the DRL has been tapped from park light here where i had to cut the wires. But its all inside the headlamp not anything outside the headlamp. I took a short video of my setup and uploaded into the below youtube link | |

I think this is one way in which car engines have changed a lot over the decades. There isn't really a "running-in" period like there used to be, and the initial few months of burning up oil seems to be a thing of the past. (checking the level, though, is never a bad thing!). Just follow the user manual guidelines. It is to be hoped that there is not too much metal particles. And also, remember that you do have an oil filter. Tyres, and maybe brakes, probably need more run-in than the engine does. Don't worry! Just enjoy your new car, but don't overdo anything for a while. | |

The projectors details below: 1. Morimoto square RHD lens 2. Apollo 2.0 square shrouds 3.Morimoto d2s bulbs 4300k All the above from theretrofitsource.com (USA) my friend helped me to bring. 4. 35w morimoto ballasts 5. Moto control harness Are from AVStunning.com. They are authorised dealer in India. Square lens was not available with avstunning. So i ordered from US. And cheaper too comparatively. About the DRL. They are from aliexpress. Ihttp://m.aliexpress.com/item/32621060978.html?productId=32621060978&productSubj ect=2x-Flexible-White-Amber-Switchback-LED-Knight-Rider-Strip-Light-for-Headlight-Sequential-Flasher-Dual-Color&shortkey=rEzUVjiQ&addresstype=600&tracelog=w wwdetail2mobilesitedetail Received after 3 weeks of time from china. The DRL had 3 wires. Negative line(black),positive line(Red),and turn indicator line.(yellow) The black and red goes to park light,the yellow goes to turn indicator. Here I faced a problem when put the turn switch on the indicator works for 5 sequence of amber and goes to white DRL then goes to amber. Alternates repeatedly. So i fixed this by adding a capacitor and a diode into the circuit. If anyone like to install I will be happy to help. ![]() Last edited by Gannu_1 : 30th July 2016 at 22:50.

I don't think any dealer is offering 30K off on Ecosport as it is the only car that is selling well for Ford India. This must be something cooked up by the Sales advisor and trap the customer in with discounts and backing out once the papers are signed. | |

| ![]() I think Ford would do well to take view this very seriously and take action. Customer confidence in the brand and service is everything - I can only hope they do not follow the Skoda path. |
