Ford Fiesta 2013 to 2017 Maintenance Schedule

The maintenance intervals from our manual are provided with the assumption that you, not the dealer, will be carrying out the work. These are the minimum intervals recommended by us for vehicles driven daily. If you wish to keep your vehicle in peak condition at all times, you may wish to perform some of these procedures more often. We encourage frequent maintenance, since it enhances the efficiency, performance and resale value of your vehicle.

If the vehicle is driven in dusty areas, used to tow a trailer, or driven frequently at slow speeds (idling in traffic) or on short journeys, more frequent maintenance intervals are recommended.

When the vehicle is new, it should be serviced by a dealer service department (or other workshop recognised by the vehicle manufacturer as providing the same standard of service), in order to preserve the warranty. The vehicle manufacturer may reject warranty claims if you are unable to prove that servicing has been carried out as and when specified, using only original equipment parts or parts certified to be of equivalent quality.

Ford Fiesta service intervals

Petrol-engined Fiesta models

Every 250 miles

• Check the engine oil level
• Check the coolant level
• Check the screenwash fluid level
• Check the brake/clutch fluid level
• Check the tyres and tyre pressures
• Check the condition of the battery
• Check the condition of the wiper blades

Every 6000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first

• Renew the engine oil and filter

Note: Ford recommend that the engine oil and filter are changed every 12 500 miles or 12 months. However, oil and filter changes are good for the engine, and we recommend that the oil and filter are renewed more frequently, especially if the car is used on a lot of short journeys.

Every 12,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first

In addition to the items listed above, carry out the following:

• Renew the pollen filter, where applicable
• Check all components, pipes and hoses for fluid leaks
• Check the condition of the auxiliary drivebelt
• Check the antifreeze/inhibitor strength
• Check and if necessary adjust the handbrake
• Check the condition of the exhaust system components
• Check the condition and operation of the seat belts
• Lubricate all hinges and locks
• Check the front brake pads and discs for wear
• Check the rear brake shoes and drums for wear
• Check the steering and suspension components for condition and security
• Check the condition of the driveshaft gaiters
• Check the roadwheel nuts are tightened to the specified torque
• Carry out a road test

Every 37,500 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first

In addition to the items listed above, carry out the following:

• Renew the spark plugs
• Renew the air filter
• Check the braking system rubber hoses

Every 62,500 miles

In addition to the items listed above, carry out the following:

• Renew the timing belt and tensioner – 1.25 and 1.6 litre engines

Note:Although the normal interval for timing belt renewal is 100 000 miles or 8 years, it is strongly recommended that the interval suggested above is observed, especially on cars which are subjected to intensive use, ie, mainly short journeys or a lot of stop-start driving. The actual belt renewal interval is very much up to the individual owner, but bear in mind that severe engine damage will result if the belt breaks.

Every 100,000 miles or 8 years, whichever comes first

• Adjust the valve clearances
• Renew the auxiliary drivebelt – 1.25 and 1.6 litre engines
• Renew the timing belt, tensioner and idlers – 1.0 litre engines

Note: Although the normal interval for timing belt renewal is 150,000 miles or 10 years, it is strongly recommended that the interval suggested above is observed, especially on cars which are subjected to intensive use, ie, mainly short journeys or a lot of stop-start driving. The actual belt renewal interval is very much up to the individual owner, but bear in mind that severe engine damage will result if the belt breaks.

Every 2 years, regardless of mileage

• Renew the brake fluid
• Check the manual transmission fluid level
• Renew the remote control batter
• Renew the coolant

Ford Fiesta Automatic Transmission

Note:Ford state that, if their purple Super Plus antifreeze is in the system from new, the coolant need only be changed every 10 years. If there is any doubt as to the type or quality of the antifreeze which has been used, we recommend this shorter interval be observed.

Ford’s PowerShift dual clutch transmission was used in 2010. Vehicles impacted are the Ford Fiesta (model years 2011-2016) and the Ford Focus (model years 2012-2016) equipped with a PowerShift transmission.

Ford Fiesta Manual Transmission Review

The PowerShift transmission is basically a manual transmission controlled electronically by a computer while using a 'dry clutch' rather than a 'wet clutch,' meaning oil is not supplied to the shifting mechanism and can result in increased wear and tear as problems persist. When the computer module used to operate the transmission is unable to handle rapid acceleration or shifts in speed, the vehicle sputters and creates an audible noise. The vehicle can also experience problems with downshifting, meaning the vehicle will remain in a higher gear despite deceleration and result in a lurch.

2011 Ford Fiesta Manual Transmission

This is not just an issue of convenience or comfort, though. When accelerating quickly into an intersection, the delay can be dangerous as it prevents the vehicle from reaching the same speed a vehicle would achieve with an automatic transmission. When it comes to deceleration, the car's inability to properly downshift can lead to the vehicle lunging forward, even when the brakes are applied, making for a safety hazard in many circumstances.

Despite consistent software updates expected to improve the computer's ability to shift gears on demand, dealerships and service centers nationwide have been overwhelmed by transmission replacement demands. Ford has also taken action in replacing the TCM (Transmission Control Module) of some vehicles in hopes of resolving the issue. Owners of these vehicles can often be on their second, third... even fourth transmission after only 3-4 years of ownership.

Due to the problems that owners have faced, Ford has extended the warranty of many of these vehicles, some for up to 100,000 miles. This is a clear indication Ford is aware of an ongoing problem with the vehicles and has made concessions to accommodate owners. However, the constant need for repair and the time and expense imposed upon owners to allow such repairs, is not acceptable. What's more, an extend warranty with no assurances of functional parts simply delays an inevitable cost to owners of these vehicles.
