Here is how I do it (with vinyl seat covers). You might need to move the front seats forward a little and for me the seat belt buckles remain under the seat as nobody uses those seats

THANKS for the pics. Tell me is there some hook or holders for the seat? I tried it again y'day however it just did not budge :-(. Do you have to hold the seats near the center and just yank it towards you? Something is holding the seat and just not able to get it

1. Push the seatbelt buckles under the seat between the gap of rear and base
2. Put your hand between this same gap and push up.

There are no latches for the base, only the two buttons for the back at each end, you need to press both to release it RTFM . You might need to open both the rear doors as well as the knobs for windows up down are a hinderance

You seatbelt buckles may be obstructing. Open all the doors, push all the seat buckles and pull up. Use some force it should not be a problem! And have a close look at the gharika's pic the direction in which the seat flipped, if you try to pull it horizontally then it may not work, it should be at an angle.

Folks,

Does anyone have trouble streaming music from iPod via Bluetooth to the HU? My iPod is updated to the latest iOS version, and everytime I try to stream audio via bluetooth, the audio levels vary every few seconds / skips within the same track. Has anyone faced this problem? I am not sure if this has got anything to do with the iPod, as I am yet to check the audio streaming capability with another one, to rule out the possibility of iPod issue.

Though not completely flawless, ipod streamed worked fine for me. A bit of variations in sound levels occasionally and nothing else. Will check again and let you know.

I have similar issues with iPad though it works fine with my HTC TD2 phone.

My Figo has developed an irritating sound.

While taking a left turn, there is a "khatt" sound coming from front end. Could not identify if it is suspension or steering box. The sound sometimes dissappears and then comes back. Drove the car in potholed roads, but there is no sound. Only in turnings & during lane changes.

Took the car to Kairali Ford. SA says it is because of Non OEM alloys & bigger tyres. Got an appointment for next Friday to open up the steering & suspension. No warranty so I may have to pay up for the spares if anything is replaced.

Anybody had similar issues?

After my Figo spent 3 days in the Metro Ford service station!, I was hoping that those irritating rear noise, dashboard noise, etc would not resurface! Sad but all the issues have resurfaced!! I do not know what to do!!

@vinboy-Get a good music collection, turn up the volume and enjoy the music

Hey Skyline, I don't exactly remember your tire upsize, but have you checked if the tires foul with the wheel well on full rotation?
Few other things you could check if you've not done it yet, but I assume you would have done that already, however,

1) Loose mudflaps
2) Loose plastic panel covering the wheel well
3) It could also be the mudflaps touching the tires on rotation

Pray it's not something more complicated since your suspension/steering warranty is void.

A few days back my car's bonnet hood release rod (the black stick which helps in releasing the latch) broke. Cheap quality plastics !

Went today to the dealership and got the hood release rod (black plastic thing to open the bonnet) replaced.

Hood release rod: Rs. 28.05 + 3.51 Tax (Acceptable price and I really appreciate that such small but useful parts are available and the company doesn't want us to change the whole unit and charge exorbitant price)

But what nullified the whole pleasant experience was -->

Labor (Just to screw up one nut): Rs 54.60 + 5.62 Tax Now that's called LOOT !

Total: Rs 92/-

When I asked the General Manager about the astonishing labor charge, he smiled and said: Sir, dealership hai. Itna to minimum lagta hi hai.

According to me, the labor should have been nil or at max Rs 5 + 1 Tax.

Then total would have been Rs 38/- only.

What I believe is that the American company didn't want the bill to be in cents. Dollars is what they love.

Tyre size is 185/65R14.

The sound is from a mechanical part. I called up the SA today on feeling a small vibration with the sound & he told it will be from steering rack.

Some noise is coming from the rear suspension as well. Could it be because of driving in the rain? I had driven through some muddy roads for past 2-3 days.

I think dealerships are to be blamed here, not Ford. Ford had introduced child spares with the Figo to lower the cost of ownership significantly, but looks like the dealerships are using this to gain profits now!

Aren't the labor prices same all over India? Or they wary from dealer to dealer? If they wary, then the dealer is to be blamed for such exorbitant pricing. If the prices are same, then the company is at fault since similar prices can only be there if the company sets the pricing.
