I have recently purchased a 2009 Ford Focus Zetec 1.6TDCi (109PS) Hatchback. The heater blower is working i.e you set it to 1, 2, 3 or 4 and the blower changes speed/force. The blend control is also working i.e you can point it to windscreen/front vents or foot well etc. I have this car- so far in 8 months- new battery, starter motor, dual mass flywheel( £900), glow plugs all been replaced. Now it's gone wrong again, engine cuts out whilst driving along at various speeds, engine management light flashing, poor starting from hot and cold. Now being told problem may be injectors. Set of 4 £1000 plus vat plus Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi, 2001. - Occasional rough starting - BenG I'd say it's worth finding out if you have the latest ECU update, as this made my car a much better starter from cold and it was a later year than yours (2003), so I'm guessing yours might not have had it unless it's been serviced at a main dealer recently. 3.

I replaced the starter motor and the difference in starter cranking speed was immediately noticeable. Not a sniff of trouble since. I have a 2008 mondeo with 1.8 Tdci (QYBA/Lynx). Apparently Mk2 Focus can have the same motor, so I also posted here, as there has been no help else where. First my EGR gave fault code P141A and then the car started to refuse igniting when motor was hot few weeks after that. I blanked the EGR with a steel plate, and the problem got little better .

The solution on the mondeos is to fit a new crank (a think) pulley and tensioner. Also a modified EGR Valve can cause excessive knocking and black smoke from the exhaust. Hi thanks for the reply much appreciated . the coolant was high and still pressurised yesterday even when the engine was stone cold so i removed the header tank cap slowly and took some coolant out i allowed the removed coolant to settle and noticed extremely fine specs of black dust on the surface of the removed coolant . now it appears that exhaust gasses are getting into the coolant . my I have a ford focus 1.8 tdci 115ps year 2002. There are a couple of problems with it. when starting from cold the engine ticks over normally but when i start to drive it seems to miss fire until the engine warms up a little. The colder the weather the worse the problem. 3. Name: Jim. Ford Model: S max. Ford Year: 2006. UK/Ireland Location: Sussex. Posted December 11, 2014.
