    Ford Figo 1.4 TDCI - shakes when accelerating or decelerating

    Thanks @ArtyLoop. Is cleaning the fuel line something I can easily do myself i.e buying a cleaner over-the-counter like the Wynn's diesel injector+turbo cleaner or is it a job that requires a proper mechanic?

    Ford Figo 1.4 TDCI - shakes when accelerating or decelerating

    UPDATE: Hi guys. Sorry for ignoring this thread for a while.

    Ford Figo TDCi 120 000km service

    UPDATE: hi guys, apologies for reviving this thread after so long. I ended up getting in touch with at Bosch Service Ryan's Auto Worx in Centurion. I spoke to a guy named William who quoted R2960, which I accepted and booked the car for this past Saturday (5th of October) as it was far less...

    Ford Figo TDCi 120 000km service

    UPDATE: I have since phoned Car Service City in Midrand who have quoted me R2495. Bosch Centurion qouted me R2960. PHoned Ford afterwards and marked down their price to R3800. Has anybody had good service from Bosch Centurion or Car Service City Midrand?

    I have phoned Ford and they've advised that it's a major service where they replace oil and all filters (oil, pollen, odour, diesel)

    Ford Figo TDCi 120 000km service

    Hey guys. So I've got a 2014 Ford Figo 1.4 TDCi which is due for a 120 000km service. I phoned Ford in Mindrand and in Centurion for a quote. To my surprise, they both quoted R4800:eek: is this cost normal for this car at this mileage? I mean, I recall one of the 2 services done last year...

    Ford Figo 1.4 TDCI - shakes when accelerating or decelerating

    Ford Figo 1.4 TDCI - shakes when accelerating or decelerating

    Usually depends on my clutch balance/control when driving off

    Ford Figo 1.4 TDCI - shakes when accelerating or decelerating

    EDIT: using a bottle of Wynn's Injector and Turbo Cleaner with a full tank of diesel seems to temporarily solve the problem for about a month or 2. Also starting or turning the engine off gets the whole car to shake/vibrate. Could be just a diesel engine rattling thing, yes?
