Is there any visible difference between the old and new hose?

Visually I don't felt any change in the structure or make. They might've changed the compound from the production. That's what I heard from the SVC as well.
Hello Guys, I'm new to this forum and have a great liking to this very particular thread. Having got a 1.6S now, I'm having this issue of spongy brakes and I did read through and found out that ABS unit or the Brake Modulator (Booster) might be the culprit there. Just wanted to know some insights on that. Costs, parts availability, etc.

If it's the ABS module, then it's gonna cost a bomb. Mohan already posted that when he inquired they said it's gonna cost around 54k and hence he replaced it with a used one. Don't know why it's so costly. Did you try getting it checked on a svc ?
In mean time can you please post some picture of your car![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")

Going to the topic again, if there is an ABS module failure, wouldn't that show up in the console? Or Am I missing something here?
I still need to check if the pads are ok and rotors needs skimming. As the rotor's are pretty cheap now, I think I'll go with the replacement route rather than skimming.
Again, on the bitter side If at all the ABS has issue, then I might need help in sourcing a used one. Fingers crossed..

Cool
Indeed yes. It should show a warning light. I thought you came to the conclusion that it's kaput by the warning light.
The ABS warning light should come for either any of the ABS wheel sensor is gone or else the whole ABS module is kaput. Get it checked from your nearest SVC. It may be a wheel sensor and if that's the case it cost around 3k.
Luckily all parts except a few can easily be sourced.

Spongy pedal could be an issue with master cylinder. You will be able to check the booster by pumping the pedal and if it gets loaded its fine. Mine had a problem with ABS module not sending oil properly to one wheel and had to be changed. The rotors and pads are cheap so its better to change them anyway.

Did a quick Hill run to Ponmudi
Though this is my second trip with the S, This was an epic experience. Those small bits and bolts which annoyed me on the last Ponmudi trip was taken care of. The Stabilizer bushes was changed, the tie-rod ends etc..which made the front end a lot more precise than before..and poured in new engine oil as well. Car felt silent and much smoother right away. Oh God, the car was so damn responsive up the hill. I was so amazed by the power band it had.It is very responsive down the rev range and keeps pulling all the way till redline. This was my first ever redline experience on my Fiesta,why because I was so much spoiled by running around in my lazy diesel engine![[lol]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Laugh.gif "Laugh [lol]")
The car felt extremely grippy and we were literally enjoying each and every corners we got![[drive]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Drive.gif "Drive [drive]")
Now, Let the picture's do the talking.
Right before the corner's
"Where's my raceline !!?"
Beautiful roads and beautiful climate
Pss..wanna race
Me leading the pack
Almost 15 year's old and still keeping up like " I got your back bro"
1.6sception
Gems anyone ?
Sharing a small timelapse video aswell. This is my first try and it has it's fair share of mistakes. Please bear with me

vishnu vichu, Nice thread and a great machine to own. Have been a Fan of this from the day it was launched. Lucky enough to own the Diesel one and now the Global. I can feel the Spirit you have for this absolute Gem. Great miles ahead man. Kudos. Hope to meet you and your machine and to hold its wheel once.
Thanks Man, will have that issue checked on priority.
You are driving these cars the way they are meant to be! Keep it up.
And Excellent photography buddy. The B-Y-B scheme really stands out.

You have a beautiful ride bro. Going by the pace at which the 1.6s is added to Kerala, I think all the cars from India will be in Kerala in the mean time![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
