Disappearing Antifreeze

[blue moon]

After Monday I'll post an update once the service department has a look at it.
Like Norm201 said, it would be good to at least have it documented.

Either way, it will get fixed.

You're right - there are two TSB's that may possibly apply depending upon the build date of your Fiesta. One is for a coolant leak near the spark plug boots (it may or may not result in a misfire), and the other is for a leak at the block heater (if present).

Looked over the motor from top to bottom and don't any sign of a leak.
Hope it's not something like a head gasket leak. Going to the dealer on Monday.
Anybody else had this happen?

Morning blue moon,

I can forward that concern to the Customer Service Manager in your are. Send me a PM with the VIN, current mileage as well as your personal and dealer contact info.

Hi Norm 201,

I give a +1 for your advice.

Hey suprfsta,

Persistence pays off, that's all I have to say! Glad the Fiesta is fixed. If I can help with anything else, let me know.

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!
