A few questions about my Fiesta...
Dear sir and madam My car is Ford Fiesta 2010 model, recently I find the steering wheel gets a little bit hard when I make a right turn, the Atlas told me better go to ford dealer get steering wheels check and fix , the atlas also said the 2010 model has electric systems for steering. What ‘s about your advice for this situation please? By the way, the atlas also recommends me it’s time to change the timing belt. My car ‘mileage is 55000KM. Do I have to do it if I am going to buy new on 2020.
Our answer:
Hi James,
First up, the timing belt. Now, you've not told us which engine your car has, so we're going to assume it has the popular 1.25-litre petrol engine. The belt in that must be changed every 160,000km or eight years. Hence, if it has never been changed before, it should certainly be done now. Don't delay on that, as a broken belt can cause very expensive engine damage. Anyone buying the car from you will wonder why it has not been done and it might put them off the deal.
That model does indeed have electric power steering and if the motor has an issue then you should get it fixed right away.
