Those revs in that gear is completely normal for these.. Its just how they operate. Nothing wrong with it. They are made to do it.

Thansk for the answer, that gives me a bit more peace of mind. I thought it really sounded like it wanted me to put the 6th gear which I obviously don't have..

The trip I made was same as before the service, same highway, barely any wind from the side (not in front) so it should've been better. I guess it could be adjusting to it, but it was almost twice as much as the first time (I was actually very happily surprised the first time I did that trip lol)


Thanks a lot!
Ill bring the car tomorrow to Ford, and hopefully this time they'll pay the attention it deserves, specially after what they charged me for the service....

So I just came back from Ford. the guy says its the PCV valve doing what its supposed to do. All normal.
I don't really trust the guy too much, because I saw other ford fiestas from carsales and gumtree and none did that...
But I'm getting tired of this, so maybe Ill just let it be, and in the next service I'll bring it somewhere else and ask... Does that seem reasonable? This is my first car you know.. lol

I'll try to look at the PCV valve myself if I'm able to find it.... TRAU BLAU mentioned its on top of the rocker-cover, now I just need to find the rocker-cover... lol

I don't know whether you're joking or what but the hose that comes out from the top of the engine goes down under the inlet pipes & enters the induction chamber via the T pipe.Have you cleaned out all the gunk inside the chamber & inside the rocker-cover.

Haha, No I'm not joking. I'm sorry, but English is not my first language (just moved to Australia which also means I have no mechanic tools, I should by some) and I know nothing about cars. So really, all the car-related words that I know from watching F1 are not of any use as the translations are not trivial! Sorry about that

I haven't cleaned the engine, maybe I should. I'll try to look into it this evening if its not too dark when I get back.

Many thanks, again!
