The fiesta was launched earlier in 2012 with the same engine and power output which was also manufactured at the Chennai plant. Surely, any issues with the engine (or materials used, in this case; inferior quality metals were used for the piston rings and/or cylinder walls) would've been ironed out by the time EcoSport was launched. Any pointers would be appreciated, thank you. Last edited by bblost : 4th March 2019 at 21:14. Reason: a small typo. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Very curious to learn about this - as I am one among them ! Quote:
I feel, you should speak to the Service guys to get this sorted as they should be able to get some cost sharing for the effort. When we broke down the block - while testing the compression - there was one cylinder with low rates and 2 cylinders with issues in bore readings. And thankfully - I had the entire short block assembly replaced (touch wood) but even the labor would come around 25K - had the clutch cover replaced as well in the process to make use of the labor I pay.

#2 -> dual tone wasn't working and they replaced the horn #3 -> not sure if its the fan below the start / stop button for temperature control. It has a small vent and fan makes 'kirrrrr' noise when engine is idle and AC is ON / just turned off. Part was not available and I couldn't get time to get this replaced. Should only be a 15-20 mins job to get this done. #4 -> this was a terrible experience I had. They gave a loaner ACU for a week but even that had issues. Finally they traced the issue to be with the volume control mounted buttons on the steering wheel. Once replaced, its working fine as of now. Quote:

![]() The new horn is a different make though; similar tone as that on the new EcoSport/Aspire. Quote:
Yep, same issue in Pune. Part was ordered from Mumbai, that took 5 days. Then install took one whole day. It is a really long job as it involves taking out the dashboard and so on. My car went in at 10am but I was given it back only the next day by noon. | ||

| ![]() Based on the general consensus and some advise privately and ownership review of libranof1987, I suggested my colleague to go for this. He should get delivery of this on Friday. Last edited by Turbanator : 6th March 2019 at 20:06. |

I have taken a 2015 ES Titanium TDCi (post facelift) last week. When I checked with the dealership, even my VIN is part of that vulnerable engine category ![]() My first feedback is the boot handle should be on the left as we park the car on the left side to load luggage. | |

Yes, we approach from the right, but that is nothing to do with this. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Has anyone replaced the brake pads with Brembo pads. Mine is a 2015 Ecoboost run only 9k kms however the bite isn't great. Can anyone suggest a reliable online source or any Brembo distributor in Mumbai. The Brembo site is not helpful at all. |

| ![]() A really good car! Jack of all trades and master in most! It has all the gizmos to keep one happy! It is one of the best SUVs this side of 10 lakhs (waiting for the XUV300 review). But the used market cars are horribly overpriced! Along with Ford’s strategy of deleting features ![]() |

| ![]() I was searching for almost 2 months and picked this. I am able to find very good ones around 8.25 Lakhs (2017 Titanium D) and I missed a 2018 (Titanium D, March 2018 Post Facelift)for just 8.8L. All have done less than 25k. These prices are quite reasonable, but applicable in Chennai only. |

| ![]() Starting to see some Ecosport Taxis here in Chennai, New base model Diesels. To me, this is proof of longevity, fuel efficiency and cheap maintenance of the Ecosport and lowe enough price points of the base models. Although it would down the image factor if there are too many Taxis running around. Last edited by 84.monsoon : 15th March 2019 at 04:42. |

Ecosport is quite a nice, sorted product and gradually the market is also realising that it doesn't take much to maintain either. I sold my Ecosport AT after 5.5 years of ownership for 5.8, still on original tyres and utterly reliable. The new owner is quite happy too, coz we keep in touch. And mind you, this is the DCT which is supposed to be a bit troublesome. I frequently see Ecosports in my part of the country being sold for handsome amounts. | |
