Fog lamps come with switch assembly, then what about the existing assembly - do they give back to the owners. I think ford can have a take back option for the switch assembly. |
Thanks guys. Still no luck with my dealer here. They are still stuck with the Rs.1300/-. Maybe i'll give the time to get the printed price list.

I really dont know. My friend with GP Emotion MJD says he is getting 15.5 in city and around 19-20 on highways. But some claim to be getting 18 average. I personally dont know anyone getting above 15 in city. So...I really dont know.
The Updates on my Figo
Today morning i came to know that tomorrow is being "celebrated" as a hartal. Was really worried since i was planning to give my car for service tomorrow as i had a long drive to do on Wednesday. My ODO reading was 2350 and hence i would surely have crossed the 2500 mark by the time i reach back. Called up my Sales Guy and he was like i need to book before getting the car serviced and he gave me a number. To m shock no one was picking up the phone on that number. Luckily i had the number of the service manager whom i met while checking out my tyre issue. Again he was not picking up his mobile. I almost thought that i would have to make other arrangement for the day after tomorrow trip as i did not want to cross the 2500 mark and give them reason to not give me warranty claims later.
Luckily the service manager forwarded my number to his colleague and he called me up. He told me that the service manager was on leave attending some marriage function and thats why he could not pick my call. HE agreed to take in my car today itself and get the oil change done. Thus i could do my trip and get back to get other issues solved at a later day. Thus no issue with warranty and my trip too would not be affected. Really appreciate such understanding. Hope ford keeps up such good work.
Gave the car to the service centre by 10:15 AM and got it back at around 6:15 PM. Work Done - Oil Change and Filter Change!! Well, i'm not complaining since i had not booked my service early as per norm.
The engine feels slightly smooth after the oil change. Maybe its my feeling. Not sure. But i 'think' its slightly smoother.
Cost for First Service was just under Rs.1200/-. They adjusted the bill against the extra money i had paid for the 4th year warranty. (I had to do some talking to the sales manager for this before he agreed on this).
Other issues pending
- The headlight flickers (like some short circuit) while shifting from bright to dim. Would have been happy if they had checked this today while they had the car for that long. But since i had not booked and they still agreed to take in my car. No complaints on this. Will get this checked some time later probably when i will fit the fog lamps.
- My boot mat is still not available. They have promised to get it ASAP. Not sure when the time will come.
- The accessories price list is still scary. I have decided to wait till things settle down.
- There is a squeak when i turn the steering. Something like the sound a rusted spring would make when pulled. They said they hear it on most fiesta's and that it is normal. I'll believe them.
- There is a squeak from the rear. I think its the seats. I had asked the guy to put some tape around the seat locks (the one to fold to down) and also asked him if he had done it before i got the car back. The sound is still there. I think he just decided to ignore it. These are the things i really hate. If you have not done something why cant you just tell me "i did not do it".
Overall. I'll give them a 3 rating out of 5. Two point go for making me talk that much before agreeing to adjust the already paid amount with the service charge, and for not fixing something as small as a squeak from the rear seats even after repeated reminders and having the car with them for so long.
