Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support malfunction

The Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) may fail to engage or function properly, leading to reduced braking efficiency during critical moments.

Turbocharger issues

The 1.6L GTDI engine is turbocharged, and turbocharger failures can lead to a loss of power, excessive smoke from the exhaust, or unusual noises.

Overheating

The engine may overheat due to issues with the cooling system, such as a faulty thermostat, radiator, or water pump.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the 1.6L GTDI can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.

Oil leaks

Common in Ford engines, oil leaks can occur from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or turbocharger oil lines.

Timing belt/chain problems

Timing components may wear prematurely, causing noise, poor performance, or even engine damage if the timing belt/chain fails.

Fuel injector problems

The fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to misfiring, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.

Ignition coil failures

The ignition coils may fail, causing misfires, rough idling, and difficulty starting the engine.

Transmission issues

Though not part of the engine, transmission problems are common in Ford Fiesta models and can affect overall vehicle performance.

Excessive oil consumption

The engine may consume oil excessively, leading to the need for frequent top-ups and potential engine damage if oil levels are not maintained.

Sensor failures

Various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensor, MAF sensor) may fail, leading to check engine lights and poor engine performance.
