Ford Servicing and Repairs Norwich

Fiestas, Focuses, Pumas and Kugas are the cars we see more than any other, and Transits are the vans. Ford builds practical cars that are cheap to run if they are serviced on time with the right oil, and expensive when they are not, which on two particular engines is the difference between a routine job and a rebuilt engine. We service every Ford to the manufacturer schedule with Ford-specification oil and OEM-specification parts, and we give straight advice on the EcoBoost wet belt, the PowerShift automatic and the everyday brakes, suspension and clutches that Norfolk roads wear out.

Servicing to the Ford Schedule

Most modern Fords are on an annual or 12,500-mile interval with specific items at each visit, and the oil specification matters more on Ford's small turbocharged engines than on almost any other make. We use the Ford-approved grade, carry out the scheduled items for the mileage, reset the service indicator and update the record.

Independent servicing and a valid Ford warranty go together, provided the work matches the manufacturer's schedule and specification. Ours does. The correct oil approval, OEM-quality or genuine parts, every inspection item completed, the service indicator reset and the history updated, all itemised on the invoice so a dealer or a future buyer can see exactly what was done and when.

The Ford Jobs We Do Most

• EcoBoost wet belt. The 1.0 EcoBoost (and some other engines) runs its timing belt in oil. The belt can degrade early, shed material into the oil pick-up and starve the engine, and Ford has shortened the replacement interval on affected engines. Using the exact specified oil, changing it on time and replacing the belt at the current interval is not optional. We check which interval applies to your engine; see cambelt replacement.
• PowerShift automatic (Fiesta and Focus of a particular period): judder, hesitation and shudder are a known pattern on the dry-clutch version. We diagnose and explain the realistic options honestly; see gearbox repair.
• Cooling system on some EcoBoost engines: coolant loss and overheating need a pressure test early, because the consequences are expensive.
• Clutches and dual mass flywheels on manual Fiestas, Focuses and Transits; see clutch replacement.
• Brakes, suspension, springs and wheel bearings: the routine wear on cars that do the school run over Norwich's speed cushions.
• DPF and EGR on TDCi diesels used for short journeys; see diesel repairs.

Transit, Transit Custom and Ranger

The Transit is the working van of Norfolk and we treat it as a same-day vehicle wherever we can: servicing, brakes, clutches, suspension, AdBlue faults, and commercial tyres with the correct load rating, with early drop-off so it is back on the job. Rangers doing farm tracks and dual carriageway need all-terrain or highway tyres chosen for the work. See van servicing, van tyres and 4x4 tyres.

Good to know

When does the Ford EcoBoost wet belt need changing? It depends on the engine and its year; Ford has shortened the interval on affected engines and it is set in both miles and years. Give us the registration and mileage and we will tell you the interval that applies and whether it is due.

Tyres for Fords

Ford fitments are among the most common sizes in the country, which keeps them affordable and usually on the shelf for same-day fitting, from budget to Michelin and Continental. Fiesta ST and Focus ST owners will want the performance options; see performance tyres.
