Can Ford drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Ford drivetrain is damaged?

Your Ford Fiesta drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for Ford Fiesta differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Fiesta?

A multitude of problems can activate your Fiesta’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you reset your Fiesta’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Fiesta's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Fiesta.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Fiesta?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Fiesta should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Fiesta?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Fiesta’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Fiesta forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
