11th year service of my Ford Fiesta 1.6: Tasks performed, costs & more

Though there no evident issues with the clutch, I preferred to change it during this service proactively.

BHPian arun110 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

My Ford Fiesta Classic 1.6 at 11 years & 69,000 km:

The first task of the regular maintenance was to replace the current Earth1 tyres with new Earth1 tyres which costed about 5.5k for each tyre:

 One of the bolts of the front wheel hub got cut while removing the wheel as the nut wasn't tightened properly the last time it was fit:

Since there was the bolt issues and time for some mechanical parts replacement, I got my Fiesta serviced at the PPS Ford A.S.S, located on the Airport road, Bangalore.

My Fiesta waiting for it's turn to be assessed by the service advisor for the 11 years service schedule:

During the previous service, the head gasket, drive belt Kit, timing belt, pulley tensioner etc were replaced. One major repair to be done in this service was the clutch/ pressure plate assembly to be replaced:

Though there no evident issues with the clutch, I preferred to change it during this service proactively. Also, the service advisor suggested to change the battery as it was around 5 years old and showed signs of ageing. While I always prefer Amaron battery, I chose the Motocraft battery.

Here is the 2 page bill of the service:

My Fiesta drives almost like a new one even today due to the regular maintenance and looking forward for an extended long term ownership experience!

Thank you,
