Ford Focus 3 restyling disadvantages of the problem of operation. Ford Focus III - a down game. And again the same problems

Ford Focus 3 Engine 1.6 Litra is designed in the early 2000s. Since October 2015, DURATEC 1.6 Ti-VCT is produced in Russia at a new auto unit of the American concern. The engine is installed on Russian Ford Focus., Fiesta and even EcoSport. Structurally, the same motor has a power of 85, 105 and 125 hp The capacity difference is achieved exclusively by the individual firmware of the control unit (ECU). Accordingly, cheaper basic focus versions receive 85 strong versions, and a more expensive 125 strong version of the motor. It is rather a marketing move than a technically sound difference. Atmospheric petrol motor It has a system shift system of gas distribution on both camshafts and a belt drive timing. We'll talk about the rest of the motor next.

Device of the Ford Focus Engine 3 1.6 liters.

Duratec 1.6 Ti-VCT engine gasoline, four-stroke, four-cylinder, inline, sixteenthly patched, with two camshafts. Location B. motor compartment transverse. The order of the cylinders: 1-3-4-2, counting - from pulley drive auxiliary units.

The power system is a phased distributed fuel injection (Euro-5 toxicity norms). The engine with a gearbox and clutch form a power unit - a single unit fixed in the engine compartment on three elastic rubber-metal supports. The right support is attached to the bracket located on the right wall of the cylinder block, and the left and rear to the gearbox crankcases.

On the right of the engine (along the movement of the car) there are: the drive of the gas distribution mechanism (gear strap); coolant pump drive, generator and pump hydraulic pump (polyclinite belt); air conditioning compressor drive (polyclinite belt); oil pump.
On the left side are: the ignition coil, the outlet of the cooling system and the coolant temperature sensor.

Front: inlet pipe with throttle knot, fuel ramp with nozzles, oil filter, oil level index, generator, starter, steering hydraulic power pump, air conditioning compressor, thermostat, position sensors crankshaft, detonation and insufficient oil pressure.
Rear: Catalytic collector of the exhaust gas release system, phase sensor. From above: spark plugs.

Ford Focus Cylinders Block 3 1.6 liters Mold from aluminum alloy using the Open-Deck method with free-standing (in the upper part of the block) the sleeves of the "wet" type. At the bottom of the cylinder block, the crankshaft supports are located five beds of the editor shaft bearings with a common slab (removable lid), which is attached to the tenth bolt block.

In the block, the main part (except the pistons and connecting rods of course) is the crankshaft made of high-strength cast iron, with five root and four rocker cakes. The shaft is equipped with eight counterweights executed on the continuation of its "cheeks". Counterweights are intended to balance the strengths and moments of inertia arising from the movement of the crank-connecting mechanism during engine operation. Inserts of the root and connecting rod bearings of the crankshaft steel, thin-walled, with antifriction coating.

The root and connecting rod crankshaft cranks are connected by the channels drilled in the body of the shaft, which serve not only for the supply motor oil From rooted to connecting rod bearings, but also for centrifugal oil purification from solid particles and deposits when the shaft is rotated. At the front end (sock) of the crankshaft is set: the gear pulley of the drive of the gas distribution mechanism (TRM) and the pulley of the drive of the auxiliary aggregates.

Ford Focus Engine Cylinder Cylinder Head 3 1.6 liters.

The head of the DURATEC 1.6 Ti-VCT unit is made of aluminum alloy. The drive of the camshaft is a gear strap from the crankshaft pulley. The automatic tensioning device provides the desired belt tension during operation.

The valves in the cylinder head are located in two rows, V-shaped, two intake and two exhaust valves for each cylinder. Valves are powered by cams distribution Vala. through cylindrical pushers. Eight cams are made on the shaft - the adjacent pair of cams simultaneously controls two valves (intake or outcomes) of each cylinder. Supports (bearings) of distribution shafts (five supports for each shaft) are detachable. Holes in supports are processed assembly with covers.

Oil pump engine Ford Focus 3 1.6 liters.

Engine lubrication - combined. Under pressure, the oil is supplied to the native and connecting rod bearing of the crankshaft, pairs of "Support - neck of the camshaft". The pressure in the system creates an oil pump with internal engagement gears and reduction valve. Oil pump is attached to the cylinder block on the right. The leading pump gear is installed on a crankshaft sock lying. The pump through the oil worker takes oil from the crankcase pallet and through the oil filter supplies it to the main line of the cylinder block, from which the oil channels deploy to the root bearing of the crankshaft and the oil supply channels to the cylinder block bearings of the cylinder head.

Driver motor ford focus 3 1.6 liters.

Drive gas distribution mechanism Focus 3 1.6 belt. In the event of a breakdown of the timing belt, the gnet of the valve, so the replacement must be made strictly according to the regulation of the manufacturer's plant. The singularity of the engine with the shift system of gas distribution can be considered the presence of executive mechanisms for changing the phases fixed on the camshaft pulleys. In the case of replacing the timing belt, not only the camshafts, but also executive mechanisms for changing phases with special devices, must be firmly fixed. As in the photo just below.

Previously, all atmospheric gasoline 1.6 liter motors for focus 3 brought from the British Ford Plant Motor Company. Bridgend Engine. But since April 2016, all Ford Focus put Russian engines collected in Elabuga. From October 2015 with Russian engines collect Fiesta, and from January 2016 ecoSport crossover Also received a domestic 1.6 liter power unit Ford.

Ford Focus is a very popular machine that has been produced since 1999. Focus III began to be produced in Europe from December 2010, and in Russia the assembly of focus began in July 2011. Naturally, the first thousand km of operation of the car began to appear. breakdowns focus 3.so to speak weak spots. Here we will tell about a number of problems that they will have to face some owners of Ford Focus 3.

Body

• Fragile plastic thresholds break.
• Poor triggering of locks (when closed, it has to clap strongly).
• Fast wiping to the ground in the places of contact of the hood and seal. It is necessary to sneak the protective film of the place of contact of the rubber seal of the inconsistent space with the hood.

Transmission

• A clutch pedal vibration may appear (pressed and released with some crunch and grinding).
• Already at 3 - 10 thousand km (cars with the manual transmission) may begin to leak the gland the right semi. The reason in the incomplete planting of the gland and damage its edge when installing at the factory.

Electrician

• The rain sensor is buggy (when it does not clean when it does not need to be cleaned)
• Weak heated side mirrors.

Engine

• It is observed at minus temperatures on cars with a 1.6 liter engine released since October 2011. To eliminate such situations, a new firmware of the power unit control module was released.

Lights

• Move and PTF in crude weather (bad tightness). Basically, the problem of "sweating" I leave after replacing rubber headlights for similar with the ventilation holes.

Chassis

• After 7 thousand km, mileage can start knocking the steering rail. The reason in the backlave of the left steering thrust in the horizontal plane.

Salon

• Tearing doors rattles even with a small volume of music. By solving the problem is noise insulation.

It is difficult to name a simple and unpaired car, this car is not only beautiful with the outside, but also has a modern exterior and equipment. Despite this, the focus of the third generation, in contrast to the previous version, did not become a bestseller, nevertheless, the number of used Ford Focus 3 on secondary market Hugely, so, to leave this car without attention, we did not have the right. Today we will talk about the most common drawbacks of Focus 3, and what should be paid to when buying this car with mileage.

A bit of history:

In 1998, the first Ford Focus came to change the model "ECCORT", his debut took place at the auto show in Geneva, in which the novelty produced a real exterior. The second generation of focus debuted in September 2004 in Paris. In 2005, the production of a car in Russia was established at the factory in Vsevolozhsk. He became a real brand bestseller and was among the top ten best-selling machines in the world. In the CIS, in order to get this car, many had to wait for their turn for 6 months.

Ford Focus 3 (MK 3) For the first time was demonstrated in early 2010 at the international auto show in Detroit. Despite this, official sales of new items in the CIS started only in 2012. The car was created on the platform " C1."And offered in three types of body - five-door hatchback, sedan and wagon. In contrast to previous versions, the novelty is equipped with a large number. electronic systemsthat have been inaccessible to most Ford models. For our market, four configurations were available - Ambiente, Trend, Trend Sport and Titanium, there is also a charged version of "ST". The third generation of Ford Focus was produced to 2015.

Advantages and disadvantages of Ford Focus 3 with mileage

Paintwork coverage of this car, frankly, weak, scratches appear even from minor contacts with branches of bushes and brushes on car wash. Despite this, corrosion on the car body is quite rare. When examining the car, you must pay attention to the state of bumpers, as according to statistics, on each second instance, regular mounts front bumper Frankana.

Power units

Equipped with gasoline and diesel power units of varying degrees of forsing: gasoline 1.6 (85, 105 and 125 hp), 2.0 (150 and 250 hp.); Diesel 1.6 (95, 115 hp), 2.0 (115, 140 and 163 l.S..). Netting on the reliability of Ford Motors is a big rarity, and the third generation of focus is no exception. The engines of this car are quite reliable, and if any problems arise with them, then, as a rule, they are insignificant. One of the peculiarities of gasoline power units is their noisy work, especially the immentable motor. For example, when starting a cold engine 1.6, you can hear the "Cocanier" or tapping from under the hood ( feature of work injectors), after warming up, as a rule, the flowing sounds disappear. Motor 2.0 also has an unpleasant feature - a loud knock when starting a cold engine ( peculiarity of the work of TNVD).

On cars issued from 2011 to 2012, there was an unstable operation of the engine "Trojection" and the loss of thrust, the reason - the firmware of the firmware of the power unit control unit, later, the manufacturer eliminated this problem, replacing software. The engine control unit is not far from the front bumper, and if not even a significant blow to the front of the car, it is required to replace it ( the cost of the block is about 1500 USD.). If you constantly ride in large speeds, it increases oil consumption, up to 300 grams per 1000 km. Weak place diesel engines are considered to be sensitive fuel systemIf the car refused by poor-quality fuel, expensive repair can not be avoided.

Transmission

Ford Focus 3 was installed five-speed mechanical box Transmissions and Robotic Transmission PowerShift. With two dry clutches. Unfortunately, automatic transmission It has both technical and operational disadvantages. So, in particular, the owners often raise on jerks, shocks and metal grinds when switching gear, as well as to twitch the car when moving in a traffic jam. If a car most Time was exploited in the metropolis, then expensive repair of this transmission will be needed already after 50-60 thousand km (the clutch replacement is required).

As for mechanics, it is quite reliable, but it still has minor flaws, it is still - flowing semi-axes and zaking gear shift cables. To extend the life of the gear shift cables, they need to be lubricated once every 50000 km. The clutch here lives long enough - 120-150 thousand km.

Salon

The salon has an original design, but as regards this model - summarizes the quality of finishing materials and the build quality, as a result, crickets in the cabin appear in the first year of the car's life. Despite the large number of electrical equipment in the cabin, the claims to their work arise extremely rarely.

Challenges Ford Focus 3 with Mileage

As anterior suspension for Ford Focus 3, MacPherson is traditionally applied, rear - multi-dimensional independent suspension. Brake system represented by disk brake mechanisms, steering Equipped with an electro-hydraulic amplifier. The owners of this car model often complain about the embroidering of the suspension in cold weather, the dealers do not consider this breakdown, and call this lack of a "car feature". If we talk about the reliability of the suspension, it is sufficiently alive, and the excavation operation, on average, will serve 70-90 thousand km.

For most modern cars The stabilizer racks live no more than 50,000 km. Shock absorbers, after 70,000 km, as a rule, begin to leak, and closer to 100,000 km will need to be replaced, and the support bearings will have to be replaced at the same time. Ball supports hub bearings And silent blocks, on average, go about 80,000 km. Collapse levers rear suspension Faulty on mileage 60-70 thousand km. Steering Reika be considered to be problem Most In the running, and it can be frowning very early (up to 60,000 miles). Due to the fact that this node is not collapsible and varies assembly with the amplifier, its replacement is not cheap.

Outcome:

In general, - quite reliable and inexpensive in maintenance of the car (if you do not consider cars with robotic box Transmissions), yes, there are certain nuances, but they have other cars in this price segment.

Advantages:

• Attractive design.
• Reliable power units.
• Small fuel consumption.
• Comfortable chassis.

Disadvantages:

• Weak paintwork.
• Unreliable robotic transmission.
• Unreliable and unrestreprenerable steering mechanism.
• Little salon.

Ford Focus 3 generations can rightly be considered one of the leaders in the C class, we recall that this generation is sold from 2010 and in 2014 there was a small restyling during which a little changed appearance and interior design. Looking a little forward, let's say that in 2018 the fourth generation of focus should appear on the market, the network is already full of information about the novelty, as well as photographs of pre-seventive versions. But back to our restyled version, today in Russia the car is sold in three body versions:

• five-door hatchback;
• sedan;
• universal.

Unfortunately, we were sigh of the 3-door execution of Ford Focus, as well as its sports versions of ST and RS.

According to mine technical characteristics Hatchback, sedan and wagon are not much different, naturally if we are not talking about dimensions and volume luggage compartment. So the focus of the third generation has front-wheel drive, Three types of transmissions about which we will talk in more detail just below and rich line of engines in which it includes:

• 1.6 liter gasoline engine capacity of 85 hp;
• 1.6 liter gasoline motor 105 hp;
• 1.6 liter gasoline motor with a capacity of 125 hp;
• 1.5 liter gasoline engine with turbocharged power 150 hp

Of all the versions presented in our opinion, the most interesting is 1.6 liter engine capacity of 125 hp and 1.5 liter turbo outstanding 150 hp

It is worth noting that earlier the car was also equipped with 2.0 liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 150 hp, in new version His place took a motor with a smaller volume, but equipped with turbocharging. Recently, more and more manufacturers prefer the turbocharged power aggregatesbecause They demonstrate the best dynamics, while consuming less fuel.

Available gearbox boxes

And now let's talk more about what boxes are available on Ford Focus 3 generations and which it is better to choose based on reliability and convenience of control.

As we have already had to say earlier, three types of gearboxes are installed on the car, each of which has its own pros and cons (about the advantages and disadvantages we will also tell me);

1. 6-step

The company's engineers decided to go a little different path, rather than the remaining manufacturers. While most companies establish robotic transmissions On versions with turbocked engines, Ford engineers decided to equip atmospheric engines with a Power Shift robot, while the turbocharger engine is equipped with a classic machine.

If you are asked about which gearbox is better to buy Focus with a machine or a robot or mechanics, we will try to give you some kind of performance.

Honestly from the top three, we liked the work of the classic machine, but the mechanics and robot caused some questions.

Mechanics

To work mechanics, or rather switching questions no questions, but the number of gears caused questions, and there is enough of them in the city, but when you leaving the track, a shortage of 6 transmission is tangible. Moreover, competitors have long been offered six gears.

Robot

Despite the fact that it has become much reliable than the first versions of many motorists there are concerns when buying a car with such a type of checkpoint. Power spit has its advantages and disadvantages, the minuses include a dongy when switching from 1 to 2 and back, which many can get when driving in a cork mode. The second disadvantage is the cost of service and the cost of repair upon failure.

Price in 2018 and competitors

To date, the cost of the car in Russia is:

• the price of the hatchback is 769,000 - 1,171,000 rubles;
• price sedan 916 000 - 1 181 000 rubles;
• the price of a wagon 926,000 - 1 191,000 rubles.

What competitors have focus

We can say from ourselves that we consider the main competitors to Korean manufacturers who are fully similar, both at the price and technical characteristics
