You can reach the oil filter from above, no problem and if you have long arms, remove the oil cap as well without lifting the car, but that's another story all together, the room for the key is very limited and you have to get lucky to do that. No need to change the plug every time either, just the rubber washers, check the files of the screw and you'll know, since it only takes finger tightening and a quarter turn with the crank, it should last for about 10 years as it is. The oils all look and cost roughly the same, I read Castrol was good but Total made the car run better in some cases, it couldn't be more random and negligible, price and performance wise. You sir got blue balls for making this video and I thank you for your service.

Great video and I agree dealer services can be expensive but a fully stamped service history will preserve the cars value.

Be wary of using non-ford oil, as the cambelt is wet and can disintegrate in the wrong oil causing oil pickup to block causing the ecoboom. A full ford service kit with GENUINE ford oil, filter, air filter, sump plug can be had for £75 (ebay item 184532611020 ) and a spark plug kit only a few quid more. Shows the labour charges are £££££. Personally, I'd recommend frequent oil changes with genuine parts to avoid risk of cam belt issue

The pollen filter you took out was dark due to being charcoal activated and a better option than the one you put back in!

Bang on video saved me a load pal cheers yeah my local ford dealer ship was £345.00 aswell what a joke mines a 2019 eco boost followed ur instructions and jobs a gud un loke i said cheers pal look forward to ur future content

Great video on the DIY service for the Fiesta MK8. I hope you also renewed the sump plug & washer too as you didn’t mention this in your video. You have earned yourself a subscriber, I look forward to more of your video content 🙏💯

I enjoyed your video. I service my 2014 1.0 Fiesta ecoboost like the service you've just done (oil, oil and air filters annually, new coolant and pollen filter every two years,). I may only do 800 miles annually some years but I still service it nonetheless. With these ecoboost engines it certainly pays to keep the engine oil good. They are easy to do. Just tried to see where you put your axle stands.

I did a service on my son’s Fiesta a few years back and the position of that oil filter is a pain when you are lying on your back. He now has a Suzuki Swift and the filter is right at the front and is so simple to change.

Cheers...just about to do mine....very useful 👍

Morning. Great channel, well done ! I'm the fella you took to Holloway last night from the City. :-)

bought my first car in 2014, first and second service dealer done it, after that i did it myself every 10k. oil and oil filters, air and pollen as in when

Very good video mate, just got a mk8 Fiesta so very helpful! Just subscribed, some interesting looking videos on your channel so I’m sure I’ll get through a few!

£345??!! Outrageous, an absolute rip-off! Great job! The Ecoboom engines, well, enough said.

🤣 My mate was quoted £600 odd for eco-poost oil change plus brake discs and pads! I did it for a bottle o gin and a little financial gain! I REALLY don't like these engines...

Ive got a 63 plate mk7.5 17k, i need to do the cabin filter. Think it similar to what I've heard is involved.

Hi MEC - As Frederick below said RIP OFF £345 - let's hope a lot of your subscribers save some money too D

How much oil did you use in the end. No info online. Much appreciated

thats only a engine service. so would not cost 345. you need to check car including brakes

Hi there. Nice video, if you have tools and time, you can fix it yourself. Btw, I have a Mk8 st 1.5 version. No transmission oil change?? When do people do this?

Old cabin filter with carbon, thats why its colour grey. New cabin filter without carbon.

You may know the answer to this question m8, are all MK 7 wheels interchangeable, i.e. can i put 2016 wheels on a 2017 model are the hubs compatible ? thanks .

Mk8 fiesta is a good car, hopefully it's reliable?

The ecoboom engines in these fiestas are awful, the cambelts are by far the worst design sitting in oil the cost of replacing it is mad too as you need to remove the sump and clean all the bits of cambelt out of the oil strainer at the same time

Whats the clamps size and info mate?

Hi! Please can you help me? I left my car parked somewhere within a 10-15 mins drive of London St Pancras station and I can’t remember where. I think it’s somewhere in Camden or Islington but could be wrong. I really need help finding it - I have severe adhd and can’t remember for the life of me what direction I went in, but I know it took me 20-25 mins max to walk there so it would’ve been within 1.5 miles. It’s a purple Peugeot 108 vrn kt14 kbe. Im parked in a permit only residents parking bay with a blue badge. I’ve been trying my hardest to look with no luck. If you could keep an eye out for it I would appreciate it massively! I’m trying to contact anyone who goes around central London a lot in hopes that they might come across it!
