The first "tricks" of the third generation came up from the conveyor not so long ago, or rather in 2011, so evaluate body Ford. Focus from the point of view of its resistance to corrosion is quite difficult and make the appropriate conclusions about whether it is worth buying the focus of the third generation, while early. Even on the oldest copies, if they did not have time to visit a serious accident, the spots of rust will not be able to see. But what kind of paintwork in Ford Focus III. Pretty weak, you can state it now. Find small scratches and chips on most cars will be able to easily. In addition, many Focus suffer from anterior optics. On cars from the first parties there were poorly fitted doors. Fortunately, the manufacturer very quickly coped with this problem, but also to choose a focus for buying because it is necessary to carefully.

Small buildings of the assembly can be seen inside the car. Most often, Focus owners complain about uneven gaps between plastic details in the cabin. Another typical complaint is a script of plastic and "crickets", which most often come to the magnetic area and the place of securing the seat belt on the middle rack. Otherwise, inside the "third" Ford Focus rather pleases its buyers on secondary market.

1.6 liter engine with a capacity of 85 horsepower for a sufficiently large car is frankly weak and therefore dynamics to buy Ford focus with such an engine, rightly speaking, not worth it. Acquiring a used car with such force aggregate It is unlikely to be justified. Yes, and the same in volume 105-strong engine will not make from Focus fast car. Although in terms of reliability, as well as the 125-strong version, it is good. While the owners complain except that the characteristic dictum, which increases when heating. Be afraid when buying, however, it is not worth it. Funny noise motorists are no more than a feature of the injectors. But with unsustainable work, troops and insufficient charge after a cold start, it will not work out. All these problems - and they were characterized for cars, which were released at the end of 2011 - managed to successfully solve by reprogramming the power unit control module. There are no big claims and to two-liter gasoline engine Power 150. horse power. He, like smaller engines, works with a characteristic trottle, but does not deliver problems. Is that fuel will have to use exclusively high quality. However, in any case, lovers save should not buy a two-liter version of the focus.

But to the gearbox boxes, which were installed on Ford Focus third Generations, complaints a little more. In "Mechanics", for example, after a run, 10 thousand kilometers could begin to leak the seal of the right half. And all because of the incomplete planting of the gland on the conveyor, which resulted in damage to its edge. Over time, the problem was certainly solved, but an unpleasant precipitate for Focus owners with a manual gearbox remained. There are complaints and transmissions with double clutch PowerShift. With a long movement in the sloppy disinfect, it begins to switch transmissions with noticeable jerks. Yes, and from the point of view of reliability, PowerShift loses to traditional "automata". The first serious problems can begin after 100,000 mileage kilometers. So, when buying a Focus with this gearbox, it is impossible to refuse diagnostics in any way.

The third generation FOCUS FOCUS suspension has proven itself quite reliable. Most owners still have to be replaced by its consumables. However, it will not be possible to call it absolutely trouble-free at all desire. And all because with the onset of frost, the Focus suspension begins to publish foreign sounds. Most often, unpleasant creaking creates stabilizer bushings.

Not without problems and in the steering control. And the problems are quite serious. After 7-10 thousand kilometers after 7-10 thousand kilometers, many owners of the third Focus had to face the back of the steering thrust and tapping the steering rack. Most often, the rail was changed under warranty, but after replacing through the same 10 thousand kilometers, the stuffs appeared again. And everything would be nothing, but the owners of the used Ford Focus rake will have to be changed no longer under warranty, but for their money. And cheap this pleasure you won't call. And besides the steering rack of trouble, there is enough. Problems with the power steering on Focus arise quite often.

It turns out that it was not for nothing that the Ford Focus of the third generation by our car enthusiasts was adopted quite restrained, and paying their attention more on the previous one - the second generation of the car. There are no problems with him and not a huge amount, but enough. But after all, there are no competitors with exemplary reliability. So not everything is so bad. If you manage to find the "third" Ford Focus in good condition, then it is quite worth buying, but it is better to choose and inspect the car as carefully as possible.

Verdict

Weak / Problem Places:

• Weak straight-coloring coating subject to scratches and chips.
• Fogging front optics.
• Poor fitted doors on the Early Party models.
• Poorly adjusted gaps in plastic inside the cabin.
• Screenshots and "crickets" in the cabin.
• Weak 1.6 liter engines.
• Feeding the right semi-axis.
• Broke gearbox with dual clutch PowerShift.
• Lufts Steering thrust and knocks in the steering rake.

Strong / Reliable Parties:

• Modern interior of the cabin.
• Reliable engines.
• Reliable suspension.

What kinetic energy is, in general, they represent everything that at school in physics lessons sometimes looked at the board, and not to "wounded-killed" in marine battles on a piece of cell. If it is simplified, all moving bodies have kinetic energy, the value of this energy depends on their speed. MV ^ 2/2, remember this?

Beautiful formula would have stayed on paper if not designer Ford of europe Martin Smith. It was he who was able to portray this law of mechanics to the car body lines, and it turned out just great. According to the idea of \u200b\u200b"kinetic design", the expression occurs through clear, dynamic lines and surfaces "(from the interview with Martin Smith). The appearance of the third focus looks really dynamic. However, it is not about a novelty, therefore, the appearance of Ford will be superfluous. Especially since Focus 3 is famous not only by design, but also for the first time applied by the concept of the "global" car.

This means that third focuses for the markets of Europe, America and Asia are almost identical. Schedules and control settings are slightly different, but in the total focus everywhere the same. The design turned out to be more European than the American, and this is understandable: the developers were engaged in them in Cologne, where the European Center Ford is based responsible for the development of automobiles of C- and C-classes and commercial vehicles.

In connection with the "globalization" and "kinetics", the question arises: what is the platform used to build the focus 3? By and large, this is the same C-CAR platform of the 2003 sample, but with a very large number of point modernization. But it is the presence of this platform that allows the owners of focus to use spare parts from, for example, Mazda 3. In addition to Matryshka, almost the same platform applies to Mazda 5, Fordes C-Max, Grand C-Max, KUGA, as well as on Volvo C70, C30, V50 and V40 models. But enough to talk unfounded, it's time to look under the hood of the car, to shake the suspension, swell the plastic, smooth the paint and get behind the steering wheel. Here we will immediately see what distinguishes the focus of the previous generation from the third focus, and what benefit it can bring the owner. Or do not bring that it is also quite likely.

Engine

Replacing the timing belt is practically impossible. More precisely, without special fixation devices distributional shafts and crankshaft. Whether to buy these "fittings" - the question is controversial, it is unlikely that such an investment will be profitable. Moreover, the periodicity of replacement for the regulations is very impressive: 120 thousand kilometers. The service master advises not to wait for this run, but to change the timing belt when running 100-110 thousand. The price of the belt, however, "bites": the original costs 2,600 rubles, but, for example, the cheapest analogue is only 600 (Hmm ... I would not risk). You can buy a video for 2,050 (in the service where we examined the car), it can be found for 4,000 rubles, but, for example, a popular SKF will cost about the same two thousand. On the same run, the pump can be replaced (for example, Airtex will cost 2,400 rubles), which will cost 500 rubles. Once in 100 thousand is not a pity, it is acceptable. But the adjustment of the valves is better to spend at the dealer. When performing this procedure, adjusting glasses are installed, which will rather select and install the "officials". There was one defect in the cars of 2012: the gas distribution phase sensor often did not withstand oil pressure on large engine speed and expired with oil. Expired strongly, therefore there were cases that a single sensor replacement was not limited to. Taking into account the fact that oil pressure lamp lights up only in cases where the motor becomes completely bad, it is necessary to follow this. After 2012, this item was upgraded, and at later focus of trouble with it there is no. Another "surprise": the hatch for access to the focus of Focus 3 is not (as it was not in the previous focus). "So what?" - Some will ask. We answer: it also does not have the fuel filter - more precisely, it is part of the fuel pump. Therefore, its replacement is made with the removal of gas tank, and then it all depends on the imagination of the owner. The masters, of course, advise you to change the pump assembly - just in case. But you can and torture with the replacement of the filter element. Some are trying to simplify work and cut into the highway separate fuel filter. The pump from this idea is usually not delighted and rolls his protest premature death.

On our guarantee machine, not only a gas distribution phase sensor changed, but also a gur pump.

What is the third focus service easier than the second? Specialist gladly shows a tank with brake fluid: Now the person can reach his neck, and not only the octopus with the syringe in the deft tentacles.

Focus 2 access to the neck was closed with aircraft grating and drainage shield.

Chassis and brakes

Here the focus is a little puzzled. True, nice: running 74 thousand kilometers over three years, he retained his suspension in perfect condition. All items went around several times and only with N-th, attempts were able to detect a slight detachment of rubber on the silent block of the front suspension lever. There is no sense to change it yet, but at least we could find something. This is a very worthy result! However, replacement work running elements It is inexpensive, like the spare parts themselves. For example, the original stabilizer stand will cost about 800 rubles, a good analog can be bought for 300, and the replacement in the service will cost 500. The found defective silent block costs about one and a half thousand, replacement is 800 rubles.

Just in case, inquired about the cost of replacing the ball support. The analogue of TRW can be bought for 800 rubles, they will have to lay out exactly the same amount. The balls are closed here, but when replacing them is usually attached to the bolts. Well, if suddenly it turns out to be "to cut" the car that without replacing the whole rear suspension Control Blade can no longer do, then in the service it is possible to meet 20 thousand rubles. On the forums you can read long branches about the glands of the mechanical box segments that flow. They are changed under warranty, and they still flow. We have here - "Robot" PowerShift, and to check "in kind" the People's Glevo did not work. Semi-dry dry, and shrusov's anthers look almost perfect.

But the maintenance of brakes at the dealer is a thoughst thing for this class of cars. You can change the pads for 6 thousand. Prices in the usual service are far from such space: work - 600 rubles, the pads themselves are from 2,000 for good to 2,500 for excellent. Can I find bad, they will be even cheaper, just need? And for 1 500 it will be possible to change wheels, if there is such a need. Here, of course, the "officials" slightly with the prices moved. However, this is their business, they also need to live on something.

Page case

The same picture is observed at the point of contact of the fifth door and rear bumper. There are nothing to the owners of the sedans, and the holders of hatchbacks should be adjusted by the door. The reserve of rubber seals profiles is enough to raise the door to painlessly and make a gap a little more factory. It will increase the distance between rear lanterns And the door, but you will only know about it, but the paint will live longer. An additional "Shumka" has been made on our focus and rubber seal is punctured around the perimeter of the hood. In general, it is - good way Save the pumproom space clean, the focus loves to spat the motor all the rubbish from the street. Some come easier, sicking is not the hood itself, but the places of his fit (including the headlights) is a conventional window seal. It turns out quite neatly and practical.

If your hands still bope or simply eat a healthy desire to do something well, you can independently change the bulbs in the headlights. They must be removed for this, but they are attached to two bolts, there is nothing complicated here. Much more fascinating will look like an attempt to drown the piston of the rear disc brake caliper when replacing the pads. It is useless to put pressure: the piston can only be screwed using a special tool, and in the case of its absence - ordinary taps. They must be left into the grooves on the piston and twist clockwise. After that, the piston will fall into place. More seriously engaged in the owner of the third focus, most likely not. Unless meditation in order to relieve negative emotions arising from the sound of the steering rack, the knock of which is practically not amenable to correction, since it is due to its design.

"Focus" on the main

Ford Focus 3 is a machine that has a not very good reputation, but at the same time it is heard. Everyone at least once heard the engineering thought miracle from the American manufacturer. In the territory of Russia and the CIS countries, it is often called "credit-sized", as people who need a simple car for relaxing travels from work and home are most often acquired. Of course, you will not get a big comfort from the management of it, but the price of the device is pleasantly surprising.

Advantages and advantages of Ford Focus 3

1. Attractive appearance;
2. High engine reliability indicator;
3. Road clearance - 165 mm;
4. Free service from the official dealer of 3 years;
5. Comfortable driving seat. The back does not get tired even after 12 hours of continuous driving;
6. Salon is decorated with high-quality materials. For the manufacture of the central panel used soft plastic. On the steering wheel there are special notches for your fingers who make it more convenient. The interior is decorated in a sporty style;
7. The steering wheel has a heating function;
8. Good noise insulation. In the cabin is not heard the roar of the engine, wheels and whistle wind;
9. The presence of additional systems. IN standard equipment: Electronic course stability system, antiborization, assistance in case of emergency braking. The topping option is equipped with innovative features: parking assistance, automatic deceleration, tire pressure tracking and so on;
10. Hodovka is finalized and upgraded. The suspension practically does not feel pit and irregularities on the road.
11. Fuel consumption is moderate: 1.6 liter motor in the city - 8 liters, on the highway - 5 l, the motor volume 2.0 in the city is 9.5, on the highway - 5.5 liters per 100 km;
12. Economical oil consumption. For 16 thousand km, Schuu sank for one millimeter.

All concept ford models Cerestrated on practicality and convenience for owners at low cost. The main types of Focus Body: Sedan, Hatchback, Wagon. The 3rd generation of focus is much improved compared to the second. Most of all this is due to the use of systems:

• Help with parallel parking;
• Recognition of road signs;
• Help when starting from place;
• Observation of the driver overwork;
• Automatic long-term control;
• Torque control;
• "City Safety" (preventing collisions, which works only at low speed);
• WARNING THE NEXT OF MOTECT STAID;
• Informing about the presence of a car in the "blind" zone.

In general, the car purchased more electrical filling. The six-speed PowerShift gearbox with two dry clutches was also introduced. Many changes touched the line of engines.

This model has sports modification (ST), as well as an electric motor version (Focus Electric).

According to European standards, this car is able to protect the driver and passengers from almost any collisions. If we talk about the safety of a car in numbers, then the adult passenger is being protected by 92%, the child is 82%, a pedestrian by 72%, active security Machines are estimated at 71%, which in the aggregate gives Focus 3 5 of 5 stars on the systemEuro. NCAP.

Weak places Ford Focus 3:

• Engine;
• Transmission;
• Steering;
• Body;
• Chassis;
• Electrician;
• Assembly.

We will discern more:

Engine.

In general, Focus 3 engines are quite reliable, if you do not forget to produce planned service (on time to change the oil, filters, etc.). The exception is only an engine at 1.6 liters, which has one problem - when cold starts it starts troy. Aggravates the sensor malfunction situation idle move, because of which the thrust often disappears. Sometimes it happens that the engine because of this problem begins to simply blah. The reason for this is the formation of a car in the combustion chamber.

Of course, the company could not leave it without attention, and they quickly corrected this mistake by releasing the new engine firmware called "PCM". Owners who have established a new management module confirmed that it really helps and the problem with the launch of the motor and turnover disappears.

Transmission.

PowerShift is a transmission, which is the pride of owners of Fords. But alas, and she has its own minuses. If you often still stand on such a box in traffic jams, you can notice the appearance of "pins" and twignee at the start, which after it may change to the metal grinding when switching speed and strong shocks when overclocking

Of course, the company did not forget about this problem and decided it. Just as with the engine, they released the module of the firmware of the control unit, which has yet reached the European owners, and Russia's residents have to ride so much.

Naturally, mechanical box Transmissions Reliable than automatic (with an experienced owner), but at the same time, the manual transmission has a little marriage. This marriage is already from the factory and is that due to the features of the design of the box, the heap edge is damaged before hitting the bracket, after which the gland that is installed is not tight, begins to break and flow. The right side of the right gland is most of all and you need to constantly follow it. If you bought new carThis problem will overtake you in 4000-10000 km. Run.

Steering.

- EPS electric power.

When driving, the steering wheel begins to hear, from which at high speed it can lead to unpleasant consequences. If the car is drunk and after some time you start, then the problem will pass.

All these flaws occur due to an electric power engine. A big minus is that the motor comes assembled with the steering rack, so when replacing it is necessary to change the entire rail, and this is not very cheap.

It happens another problem at which the car demoloses in the side. It also arises from the marriage of the electric powerful and is solved by updating the firmware.

Steering Reika

The steering rail, even in new copies, has one sore. The problem occurs on runs from 3,000 to 7000 km., And lies in the presence of a characteristic low-speed knock. All this is due to the features of the design of this mechanism.

The trouble is that ford. Not engaged in this problem and does not seek a solution. Therefore, only the replacement will help you, but often it does not treat cars.

Chassis.

What Ford Focus of the 3rd Generation boasts, then this is exactly its suspension. But even for such a chassis, like Ford is "Kosyaki". They begin to appear in winter, which is associated with creak from the bushings of stabilizers. Also, while driving around the uneven road, a strange knock begins to appear under the hood, the reason for which is not known to appear.

Electrician.

There is a problem in the rain sensor. It often happens that the sensor does not work on time, and when there is no - it can turn on spontaneously. Also there are problems and heated side mirrors.

In the car suffers from the salon, plastic, itself, not very high quality. Cracks are most in the area of \u200b\u200bthe seat belt, the district of the radio, the controllers of the blower and the framework of the salon mirror of the rear view. It is often found to rattle the door plastic even at the slightest speed.

Typical deficiencies of Ford Focus 3rd Generation:

1. The doors are fitted under the body of the car not very high quality, somewhere the gaps are very large, somewhere sticking the corners, etc. Of course, it is still possible to come to terms and it doesn't carry it bad, but there remains an unpleasant precipitate.
2. Fear of the car headlamp, which is due to the wrong lighting of the road. Also, you will blind other cars that is unsafe. This is especially noticeable if xenon is installed. The problem disappears after replacing plugs with holes (ventilation) in the rear of the headlight.
3. Daylight lights often flicker, which manifests itself during cold weather and when heating disappears. The company solves this problem to this day.
4. Of course, it is worth saying about the paintwork, which Focus 3 is not very strong. Over time, while you drive and meet with small pebbles, you will quickly deter paint, and it can go to the point that it will be erased not only to the soil, but also to pure metal.
5. From the fact that the car does not have under the hood of a special seal, from dirty roads the engine quickly throws mud. To solve this issue, it is simply periodically needed to wash the engine compartment.
6. Weak windshieldWhich in cold weather becomes vulnerable to the rapid heating of the cabin, which is why it often gives cracks. It is very unpleasant because it is solved only by a complete glass replacement.
7. Door locks work poorly.
8. Fast paint wear (it happens to soil), in the place of contact of the hood and its seals.
9. Weak thresholds of the car, which leads to rapid corrosion.

Conclusion.

According to the reviews of the owners of this machine, it is possible to make ambiguous conclusions. Some say that this car is one of the best in its class, others, on the contrary, talk about the benefits of its closest "counterpart" (Kia Rio, VW Polo, etc.). In general, you can call the car worthy of attention, although having a very pleasant reputation. For your money, we get a medium, good and inexpensive car for every day. Of course, he has his own cons, but also from other cars they are present, and often even more, although their price, sometimes, much higher than the cost of Focus 3.

P.S.: Dear owners of this car model, if you were seen frequent breakdowns Any details of the focus, please inform this in the comments below.

Weaknesses, advantages and basic disadvantages of Ford. Focus 3 with mileage Was Last Modified: March 26th, 2019 by Administrator.

25.11.2016

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 in the secondary market is huge, therefore, 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 It is considered sensitive fuel systemIf the car refused by poor-quality fuel, expensive repair can not be avoided.

Transmission

Ford Focus 3 was installed five-speed manual transmission 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. The collapsed levers of the rear suspension fail on a run of 60-70 thousand km. Steering rail to be considered the most 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.
