🦦 Ford Focus 1.6 Petrol Engine Problems

I have a 63 plate Ford Focus 1.6 Diesel Titanium X that is currently in my local Arnold Clark Ford garage after I called out the AA on Tuesday night (11/02/20). The car's mileage is 71,287 and it had a full service a couple of weeks ago. There’s a choice of 1.6 and 2.0-litre TDCi diesels, plus a normally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol – but this turbo EcoBoost version is the most powerful engine seen in the new Focus so far.

Its true the focus 1.6 TDCi filters are expensive but a reasonable independent garage should do this for £50 incl parts, often not charging for the diagnostics. I had this problem last summer with engine light and limp mode, so first tried the fuel filter (£50) then the glow plugs (£95) which fixed it. Mk 1 Ford Focus 1.6 fuel pump issues.

Ford wanted more people to buy Fusions with the 1.6 EcoBoost, so the marketing team decided to claim that the timing belt in these engines can survive more than 10 years or 150,000 miles. We can tell you that no timing belt will safely survive that long. It will most likely brake even sooner than 120,000 miles. XkwLK.
