5/w30 Semi synthetic is recommended for a moderate climate
The oil recommended by Ford is, indeed, 5W/30 to Ford specification WSS-M2C 913-B
It's really very thin, almost like 3-in-1 oil when you drain it, in comparison to the gloopy multigrade oils which we used to use when I was a kid. Thin oils give better fuel consumption because the engine can turn more easily.
You can get it from-
Ford dealer - Ford Motorcraft oil
Halfords - Halfords own label part-synthetic 5W/30 suitable for both petrol and diesel engines and to Ford specification.
Range stores - Unipart part-synthetic 5W/30 to Ford spec.
Yes TDCi is a diesel engine
The starter motor on a Ford fiesta 1.4 tdci is located on the side of the engine. Look directly where the engine is bolted to the bell housing which contains the clutch. It can be easily visible if you are under the car itself.
Depends on the year or type of diesel engine. The older engines had a cannister filter whilst the latest Tdci has a replaceable paper element.
A Ford Fiesta 1.4 tdci comes in many models. You can find this type of car in a 2 door, 4 door, hatchback, or mini van.
The oil filter can be found on the right side of the engine, near the back of the engine. The oil filter is more easily viewed from beneath the engine.
Yes, the timing belt tensioner is hydraulic on the Fiesta 1.4 TDCi. Its construction ensures strength, chemical and thermal resistance for longer life.
you get it replaced...
On the Diesel Fiesta you need the 5W-30 Ford Motorcraft oil, or any other good brand of fully synthetic motor oil with the 5W-30 specs. You need the correct filter for your model of diesel engine Fiesta. The old 1.8 straight diesel used a metal cannister filter, whilst the later Tdci Duratorq engines have a paper element filter in a plastic housing (looks like a bomb or a fat plastic bottle with a hexagon cap) on the side of the engine block.
The 2006 Ford fiesta oil filter is located on the back side of the engine, near the oil pan. The filter can be best viewed from below the engine.
Try closing the air vents or set them to recirculate before switching off the engine.
really common fault is blown injector seals, are you getting any unwanted noises from the engine? any change in perfomance?
TDI is turbo direct injection. TDCI is turbo direct Common rail injection. TDI was older generation engines which are discontinued due their non-compliance with emission regulations. The new TDCI is more powerful and response is crisp. Could really out perform a similar size petrol engine.
