Now the gauge goes to the top and the readout on the dash includes another 150 litres. the covers for the 12 volt plug-ins on the console did not stay closed. Both front and back. The total plug-ins were replaced not just the lids. The console was damaged by the repair person. Outcome pending.

Oct 2011 5580 0 more noise from the brakes. I took my Fiesta to another dealer who told me the problem is with the manufacturering. A newer metal is now used and it flakes causing the problem. If it continues all 4 brakes will have to be replaced. when I put my Fiesta in 'downhill assist' it went into neutral, engine roared and then leaped forward. The motor was racing but it was like being in neutral with your foot on the gas. The software was updated. The gas gauge was also reset. the icon for 'low tire pressure' was on but all 4 tires were within the required range. Each individual tire had to be reset with some computerized equipment and the the icon went off. Big nuisance!
