We have a new Ford Figo which got launched yesterday which amazing specs.
The car comes with a choice of powerful yet efficient petrol and diesel engines delivering 18.16 Km/L and 25.83 Km/L respectively. Its petrol and diesel engines are optimized to deliver 88 PS and 100 PS respectively with the PowerShift automatic transmission with a 1.5L TiVCT petrol engine delivering 112 PS.
The car also offers connectivity solutions like MyFord Dock and SYNC with Ford AppLink to keep drivers conveniently connected to their digital lives. It has a wheelbase of 2,491mm, offering improved legroom, knee room and shoulder-room and a ground-clearance of 174mm.
Looking forward for a comprehensive review here on TEAMBHP.

Here's the discussion thread, just in case you missed it - Next-gen Ford Figo (2015) unveiled! Details on page 6

Very limited availbility of the parts in the open market means very few independent garages/ mechanics work on the car. This puts the car owners at the mercy of the Ford Dealerships.

So which is the second dealer which you have been using. My car is due for 20k service next month. I normally visit Noida Ford and the couple of visits that I have made needed changes to the bill. They had charged me for things(consumables)/work they had not done.

Baddychat , In Noida I have used Noida Ford which is bad. My experience with Gautam Budh Ford ( Sector 2 ) was not good either.

I would suggest that you take your car to Harpreet Ford in Okhla phase 1. I had taken my vehicle to them once for some accident related repairs and their work was satisfactory.

My Figo underwent 50k regular servicing. The bill amount was 4100 INR with engine oil, filter and sump gasket replacement along with wheel balancing and alignment. A minor leakage was observed from front left shock absorber but absolutely no issues yet with suspension. When I asked to replace it under extended warranty, SA told me it is replaceable under warranty but not extended warranty!

I own a 2010 1.4 TDCI figo from the initial batches and it has run 41000km till date and all the services have been carried pro actively. I have been noticing a hissing sound from the the serpentine belt area near the power steering pump since 2-3 months. It starts few seconds after starting up the engine and sometime it vanishes after the has warmed up or it continues to make hissing sound at a much lower level.

Today I inspected the belt; only to find that it has started shredding - cracking and has become rock hard. I located the shredded part and cut it, but the hissing sound continues.

I know the belt has to be replaced. But isn't it too early? Does it require simple belt replacement or any other part associated with it like idler pulley and tensioner (read it on somewhere in the forum)? I feel that apart from the belt there is a sound of a kaput bearing somewhere which is making the noise. The nearest FASS is 100 kms away. Could the car be driven till there? Also, does anyone have idea about the approximate cost of the belt and other related parts/service?

There is a reputation of this belt snapping at around 50k km mileage. So yes, change it. Should cost <2k. Since your mileage is less, dampener pulley can be changed later if any noise comes from that side.

You can drive it to the service, but do so in the early hours of the morning without use of AC as we all know the 'kicking' effect of the compressor.

So my car's radiator fan stops working and engine overheating sign starts glowing all this when I am 30 KM away from my home .

I reach my destination after having driven for about 5 KM with the engine overheating sign on . My car had the same problem 1 month back. My regular garage's mechanic was on a vacation and so had taken to a roadside shop who diagnosed it as a blown fuse and replaced it after charging a whopping 600 bucks. This was the main cause near the battery .

This time I was away from my house, I called Ford roadside assistance. MPL Ford wanted to tow the car to their workshop instead of sending mechanics and replacing the fuse.

Called up my regular mechanic, who told me to drive the car without ac back to my home.

The fuses were again blown and the other mechanic had replaced the fuse with a lower capacity one. He mentioned that he would get the wiring checked if the fuses get blown again.

There is a 'What to do if your car overheats' thread somewhere. There it was mentioned that , in such cases and you have to drive, If you have the heater option with A/C, use it with full blast so that some of the engines heat can be carried away. Leave the windows open though.

Folks, need some help, for past couple of days the engine malfunction light in the dash has been glowing. Though no significant is in running, the light glows, stays on for some time (like an hour) and goes off automatically. I took the car to F.A.S.S but they could not deduct anything, hence could not give any clue.
2 days since, the light has started glowing again. Need some help what could this be...
Cheers,
RD

How old is your car? And how much has it run?

If the engine malfunction light is on, an error code has been recorded by the ECU. Your garage should be able to give you a download of it.

I had faced a similar issue. In my case, the light used to come on for just a few seconds before going off. F.A.S.S could not find any issue mechanically. The ECU showed error code related to relay.

They told me that relay might have to be replaced, but before that they wanted to try by just checking the wiring for any loose contacts and fixing it up. But the light kept coming on every few days. I had to make 3-4 visits but they seemed reluctant to replace the relay and kept trying to fix it without any replacement. Finally, they replaced the relay as the issue kept recurring. It's been 2 months and the light has not come on again so I hope it is resolved now.

Don't know if your car has the same issue though. Did they say anything about what error code is recorded in the ECU?

Get the belt replaced ASAP. It may otherwise snap and in this case the repairs are a lot more expensive as they will also replace a bearing, and change the oil. The snapped belt may tangle with something and cause further damage. It had happened in my Figo and it cost me approx 9 K to get it fixed. Noida Ford did a shoddy job of the replacement and the belt snapped again in less than 5 K km and this time pulled an engine sensor out. Got it fixed at an independent garage at a cost of Rs 3200. Finally apprehensive of high maintenance costs and reduced reliability, I sold the car off last month . It was 4 years 8 months old with 73 K on the odo.

Dear KA..
My car is March 2011, Figo D and has run 70K...
I took it to the F.A.S.S last week and even they could not detect any error code with the OBD...

Dear JS..
When I took it to the F.A.S.S, the warning light was not glowing. They connected with OBD, but even they couldn't find any error code...
Or so they say.... I'm honestly confused, should I visit another F.A.S.S, keeping in mind that for every visit to any F.A.S.S, to check errors with the OBD, they charge 580 bucks !
