Ford focus 3 rides badly. Ford Focus: twitching during acceleration, failures. What to do and how to deal with bad gasoline. And again the same problems

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 driver's 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. Standard complete set: 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.

The entire concept of Ford models is counted for 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 car safety in numbers, then the adult passenger is being protected by 92%, the child is 82%, a pedestrian by 72%, the active safety of the machine is estimated at 71%, which in the aggregation gives Focus 3 5 out 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 engines 3 are quite reliable, if you do not forget to produce scheduled maintenance (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. Excrees the situation of malfunction of the idling sensor, due to 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, the mechanical gearbox is reliable than automatic (with the 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 a new car, this problem will overtake you after 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 does not deal with this problem and is not looking for 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 windshield, which 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 noticed by frequent breakdowns of any details of the focus, please inform this in the comments below.

What are the problems of focus faced personally?

The sign model in the third generation is frankly corrupted by dubious changes - from reducing clearance and space in the cabin before applying a robot with dry clutches, the reputation of which was retained already then. At the same time, Focus 3 is still quite liquid at the secondary market.

Apparently, the manufacturer made conclusions. Instead of a capricious "dry" robot. The manufacturer has all the trumps to return the focus status of a folk car. In the bonape: automotive plant in Vsevolozhsk and the production of successful DURATEC 1.6 engines in Elabuga.

• To address paint coating There are no special complaints. In this matter, Focus 3 is a middle journal among competitors.
• According to the corporate tradition the engine control unit Located on the inside of the front left fender. Even with minor accidents with a blow to this zone, not only the module itself is suffering, but also the connector on the expensive wiring harness. It is necessary to closely monitor the condition of the hider: over time, it can be deformed - and water during my miles will fall on the block connectors and harness, causing them corrosion.
• Sandwich is engine and air conditioning radiators Located very close to the front of the car and quickly clogged with mud. It is advisable to wash the heat exchangers at least once a year. In addition, the engine radiator is quite harpky. In the warranty period, it is often changed due to leaks. For example, it is sufficient to slightly hit the bumper as a reverse course from the border so that the radiator cracked.

• On machines released until 2013, water leaks occur in the trunk. It penetrates through the salon ventilation valve seals, which is embedded in the side of the rear body panel. The dealers changed the knot to the new according to the technical bulletin and sealed it. Although usually sealing was enough.
• On many modern Ford models rear bumper Over time, begins to rub the edges on the corners of the trunk cover. Adjusting body elements does not help. The bumper is fixed on the clips pair and actively plays when driving at high speeds. The manufacturer limited himself to sticking the booting film on the edges of the cover in hazardous areas on the machines released after 2013.
• Windshield Heated is still cracking when the temperature drops. The manufacturer did not save him from the excessive "knocker".
• When selecting a used car, pay attention to condition of doorways and hood. Rubber seals wipe them to metal. Due to the constant friction, the rust does not appear, but it is still a good reason to bargain.

Appeared in the motor gamma of the focus when. Machines in equipment including such an assembly, very expensive, so there are few ones on the roads. Since this motor is put on, statistics are richer.

ECOBOOST 1.5 turbo engine, built on the basis of its atmospheric relative 1.6, works much quieter the progenitor. Like all the engines with the immediate injection, it is inclined to a fairly rapid clogging of fuel injectors and the formation of deposits on the inlet valve plates. The similar happens on the atmospheric engine 2.0, but the EcoBoost unit is less common in softer forms. The nozzles are successfully washed at an ultrasonic installation, but this pleasure is not cheap, because when removing and installing injectors, a replacement of disposable gaskets and sealing rings is required.

Otherwise, EcoBoost 1.5 does not cause trouble. To date, there are no significant problems with it even on Cuga. But on the all-wheel drive crossover, the motor is loaded more than on focus.

they only put on the "pre-reform" cars. This motor is different from the predecessor who has worked on. The most important innovation is the immediate injection with all its advantages and disadvantages. In general, the engine was not marked by serious problems in terms of mechanics. It does not suffer from mass supply and lengthening the timing chain.

Major Motor Sore 2.0 is fast clogging and checking the inlet valve plates. It would seem that the ordinary malfunction of engines with direct injection. However, focuses often came to dealers with an error signaling about too poor fuel-air mixture due to the nozzles clogged, after 30,000 km of run. Fortunately, the injectors are successfully saved by washing at an ultrasonic installation. But remove deposits on the valves, unfortunately, nothing. All methods for cleaning them without opening the engine and are not particularly effective.

Another characteristic feature of this motor is increased vibration. Dealers experimented with various calibrations of software, but did not defeat the disadvantage, and the manufacturer does not recognize its defect at all. Moreover, the new motor works smoothly, vibrations occur with mileage. Perhaps the reason for sediments on the inlet valves.

Increased vibration reduces the resource of the right engine support. Usually its rubber filler is destroyed after 50,000 km of run. It is important to monitor the state of the lower support, which causes even more vibrations when wear. By the way, the right support often kill servicemen when they remove the gearbox and tilted the motor. This applies to the 1.6 engine.

Periodically on the motor 2.0 dealers changed the TNVD due to wear. The leakage of the pump is also found. Gasoline seeps through the valve cover in the oil pan, causing the oil liquefaction. In addition, the leakage of fuel leads to the appearance of errors caused by the incorrect composition of the fuel and air mixture.

Sometimes the knuckle of the pump located next door to the absorber purge valve takes. It makes an unpleasant clay sound, although it works properly. The valve is changed to the new, and the noise disappears.

Motor 2.0, as in the 1,6-liter unit, the valve cover often leaks. However, for a more powerful engine, the consequences can be more serious. The oil falls on the closeness of the cooling system located nearby and actively corrupt its gaskets - until the appearance of the leaks of antifreeze.

Great to the previous focus and has a good reputation. Motors of varying degrees of forsing (85, 105 and 125 hp) are almost identical. In addition to the relevant versions of the software, they have an unequal composition of mounted equipment. The mechanical part of the motor as a whole does not cause complaints, but he marked some annoying disadvantages.

Approximately after 30,000 km run, the engine begins to work much more noiser, that is, frankly threatens, especially when cold start in winter. Noise source - piston group. However, this does not cause elevated elements and is not a defect.

With the scheduled replacement of the timing belt (every 120,000 km), it is important to carefully examine the cooling system pump. It is often for this time it begins to leak. If you do notice the moment, the antifreeze is a crank belt.

On dorestayling machines often flows the valve of the phase inspector control on the graduation camshaft. It is located on top of the valve cover, and a jet of oil beats straight into the engine shield. The main thing is to notice this in time. The oil under pressure flows through the dead valve very quickly, and the engine can "grab" the oil starvation.

On the "pre-reform" focus at the motor 1.6 leaks the valve cover. It usually begins to hilt after 100,000 km of run.

Another feature of the engine 1.6 is not the most outstanding resource of the generator and. The generator refuses the voltage regulator relay. The lack of charge appears on the shield, although a voltmeter connected to the battery terminals does not record. The reason lies in the internal malfunction of the relay, which is connected to the "brain" of the motor in a separate tire. Dealers change the generator assembly, and profile firms successfully restore the node. The starter quickly flashes the retractor relay. Nevocities will change him for reasonable money.

Duratec 1.6 On the "pre-reform" machines was marked by a frequent flow of the rear seal of the crankshaft. This suffers and the two-liter unit, although less often. The manufacturer has released a service newsletter dedicated to this fault. When installing the gland you need to remove the oil pan, otherwise the new seal will begin to flow in its lower edge. Fatigue of the factory gland comes around after the second then. It is given traces at the junction of the engine and gearbox. Although it happens that the primary shaft of the "dry" robot PowerShift or both cuffs flows away. Moreover, because of this, the oil fog hits the clutch discs and their forks, significantly reducing the resource of the nodes.

From April 2016, the motors of 1.6 domestic production are put on (they are released by the factory in Elabuga). To date, "our" engines are not observed problems that distinguish them from foreign aggregates.

Development of the PSA concern. It was available only for "pre-reform" focus. For all the time of the presence of this modification on the market, few cars sold are sold, so we will focus on more extensive statistics of the behavior of this motor on.

The engine is considered fairly successful against the background of competitors. For him, serious mechanical malfunctions are uncharacteristic. With forced repair, you can use French spare parts, they are often cheaper, find them easier. Fuel equipment (TNAD and nozzles) is sensitive to fuel quality, but still consistently withstands 150,000 km mileage.

If you often call for dubious refills, nozzles may require washing after 50,000 km. The first manifestation of their clogging on the focus is an unstable launch of a cold motor. Before it warms, it works extremely uneven and can even cool down several times. The manufacturer has released a technical newsletter on this. He was prescribed by several fuel additives added to the tank. According to the experience of dealers, the effectiveness of this method is 50/50. Alas, disassembling the nozzles with a diesel engine and their washing on the stand costs expensive and melted a whole range of pitfalls.

The dealers often come tricks with a fuel filter lid equipped with a heater. A similar situation is familiar and in French models, armed with this motor. Remkomplekt includes a new lid and connector (it also suffers). The melting is detected visually and is not associated with some particular mileage or car age. Some customers Remcoplekt took at the warranty period already twice.

Dealers and case of the oxidation of the connector and the sensor position of the mechanism of the changeable process of the turbine, accompanied by the appearance of the corresponding error, were faced. These are distinguished the focuses and Cures with the most different runs, and regardless of age. Dealers do not do, so they change the expensive node assembly.

It goes in a pair only with the engine EcoBoost 1.5. This is a joint development of Ford and GM companies. At the base of 6F35 - the infamous 6T30 / 6T40 box, which was predominantly on and the heater of the previous generation. However, Ford has released its market development later colleagues and initially pulled the unit. At the exit, a successful box was obtained, deprived of the essential deficiencies of the GM unit, among which the small resource of the hydroblock and its valves, as well as the destruction of the brake drums, entailing the complete death of the machine.

The 6F35 automaton has proven itself to Cuga and Mondeo. For dealers, the owners were treated due to rapid pollution of oil due to the specific operation of the torque converter blocking mechanism. Due to the products of wear of the friction linings, the liquid will noticeably black for the second. To extend the service life of the box, it is important to at least partially change the oil every 45,000 km of run. On the focus, it is not yet noticed such an effect and breakdowns, but also a few cars with this box are sold.

It goes paired with gasoline motors 1.6 and 2.0. As on the machines of other manufacturers, the box of this type causes a lot. Most complaints are associated with a low clutch resource, as well as with jerks and jerks when switching. The reputation of the "dry" robot PowerShift is even worse than that of a similar DSG.

The manufacturer is working on improving the reliability and resource of the unit, but the case is slow. The situation with twigs and jerks has practically not changed, but the lifetime of the clutch is increased significantly. If at the "pre-reform" focus (especially until 2013 release) replacement of the node almost every 30,000 km was the usual matter, then after restyling, the number of such appeals in the warranty period significantly decreased.

The "dry" Ford robot quickly wear clutch forks and the primary shaft seal. Moreover, the cuff accelerates the death of the forks. Under their anthers gets more dirt, and they begin to twist, even faster killing clutch discs. A set of LUK appeared on the market, including grip, forks and glands. It is a set of original spare parts, the price is about 25,000 rubles.

The crunch when turning the steering wheel is caused by the hit of dirt and moisture in the support bearings of the front amortication racks. Upgraded elements with improved protection began to put on the conveyor since the beginning of 2014. Front and rear shock absorbers rarely change, usually they hold at least 100,000 km.

Neutralizersextremely sensitive to fuel quality. This applies to all focus modifications in the "pre-reform" performance. Non-standard fuel provokes an error that signals a low neutralizer efficiency. With visual inspection, damage to its cells is not detected, usually their local melting occurs in the hidden cavities.

Oxygen sensors are also demanding of gasoline quality. The frank counterfeit causes the appearance of a white floor on the measuring part, as well as on the ignition candles and cohesives of the neutralizer. This is characteristic mainly for dorestayling focus, on the updated, it is rarely found. However, on fresh cars, oxygen sensors may require replacement. Because of poor-quality gasoline on any mileage, an error may be the appearance of a slow reaction "Lambd". The notorious white plaque is not on them, but they are no longer returning to a full-fledged life.

In addition to the "pre-reform" focus with motors 1.6, the wiring of the rear oxygen sensor concerns the thermal protection screen of the neutralizer and overtakes. Due to the closure of wires in the harness, one of the fuses is flying out, which is also responsible for the supply chain of the radiators cooling fan.

On dorestayling focus, there is sometimes insidious leak of the windshield washer motor. Dealers saw a lot of cars with such trouble. On the wires of the harness, the liquid gets to the body of the body electrician located in the cabin. At best, corrosion arises on the connectors from the module and wiring, and in the worst - the liquid gets inside the block and takes it out of standing. As a result, the electric car starts to live his life. In 2013, the manufacturer has released upgraded washer motors - with an additional seal from its connector - and the appropriate technical bulletin on the replacement of victim elements. As separate parts are also available wiring harness and repair connectors.

Outcome

Ford Focus 3 is a bright example of a used car, whose health and behavior directly depend on its modification and year of release. If you still cherish the dream to buy such a Focus with mileage, it makes sense to consider exclusively updated machines that have children's sores eliminated and the reliability of individual nodes is increased. And it is better to go around the face of tricks with a "dry" robot.

Ford Focus 3. Puddles and spots appear under the car

Often, driving away from the place of parking, the motorist notices the wet spots on the place where his car was parked. Are such stains with a malfunction of the car, and where to look for the cause of the leaks?

Where are the stains under the car

Before signing the service, it is worth trying to determine the cause of leakage itself - an option is possible that it is just a condensate.

Different systems in the car are functioning due to different liquids - brake, cooling, as well as motor and transmission oil. And the stains under the car can be any of them. The reasons for which there is a liquid flows - a set, ranging from a non-grid closed capacity and ending with the flow of the brake system.

How to determine the cause of the stain formation
The surest way to determine which is the liquid flowing out of the car - pay attention to the spot itself, on its color, consistency and smell. If the stain is formed by transparent and fluid, then this is water from the air conditioner; A quickly evaporating almost transparent liquid with a characteristic odor is fuel; Brown and fluid with a special smell - a sign of leakage from the brake system; not spread and evaporating fluid, from transparent to brown - it is antifreeze; And the oil has a damage consistency and light color, if it is new, and darker - if old.

The second stage is to determine the cause of the formation of stains. If you managed to establish that leaked fluid is, for example, antifreeze, it means the problem should be sought in the radiator. The reason for the leakage of antifreeze can not be the tightness of the coolant nozzles, as well as cracks in a block crankcase or other damage to the radiator.

If the stain has all the signs of the washing fluid, then the problem is in the tank of the glasswater tank. This malfunction is easy to eliminate, removing the tank and shoven the hole, or replacing it to the new one.

If a stain under the car is leaking fuel, then the reason can be a leakage of the fuel system: cracks in hoses or tubes, or holes in the gas tank. With such a problem, it is recommended to contact specialists who eliminate the flow of "cold welding".

If the stain has signs of oil, then the reasons may be somewhat: the leaks of the crankshaft seals, the rear axle of the rear axle of the car or the primary secondary shaft of the automatic transmission. You can try to eliminate how to flow yourself, bay into the oil is a special additive (additive), which will drag the place of the leak. However, this method may not work - moreover, among motorists there is an opinion that additives cause irreparable harm to the forceful aggregate, and, although they give an instant effect, only for a short time to delay the inevitable trip to the car service.

Another reason for the appearance of oil spots under the car is to flow through the engine pallet laying, gearbox or rear axle. To eliminate this reason, you should pull the fasteners - bolts and nuts. Other ways - applying sealant to the old gasket or replace it with a new one.

One of the most dangerous leaks is a brake fluid that can cause loss of car control and lead to an accident. With this malfunction, the car should immediately deliver to the service, using the services of the tow truck.

Thus, the formation of stains under the bottom of the car during the parking lot may be caused by a serious malfunction, and should not be neglected. First of all, the vehicle owner should determine the type and smell of stains the type of fluid flowing, and, on the basis of the information received, to inspect the vehicle's place where this liquid, presumably, follows.

Condensate from autoconditioner

If your car is equipped with a climatic installation, in most cases it is it responsible for the wet surface. At the same time, the location of the mouse of condensate under the machine can be determined quite accurately - at the place of the yield of the drain tube. This is a normal phenomenon that is happening in full compliance with the laws of physics from the school courage. Any air conditioner is a closed system with a refrigerant circulating under pressure on the pipeline system from one component to another. Where does the water come from? And from the air, which needs to be cooled. When its temperature decreases, the water vapors present in it are condensed and sent to the rotor space. Condensate is formed only when working climate installation, therefore, it is possible to notice the pool only after a very short parking lot. And the most important thing is a puddle formed by the car as a result of the air conditioner, after drying, does not leave the traces - neither spots or smell. Often, car owners learn about this phenomenon after months and years after the acquisition of the car. However, the absence of color and smell does not allow to say with confidence that it's not about what. Water may be contained, for example, in a washer tank or accumulated in various body cavities (for example, the hood has special drainage channels for removing liquid) and flow from there during the car parking.

Puddle under the exhaust pipe

Water condensate can be formed at the exhaust gas output location. And this is also a completely ordinary phenomenon, especially if the size of the puddle is small. Condensate is usually formed as a result of air heating with exhaust gases having a relatively high temperature even at the output. But if the car is equipped with a catalytic neutralizer, then small puddles will appear constantly, since this device is a chemical method converts some harmful substances. Present in the exhaust, in relatively harmless, including water. In any case, it should not be worried, except for the preservation of the exhaust pipe exposed to corrosion.

The gearbox leaks

Two options are possible here. If you have a box-machine, a stainless red color is formed and as a bright smell that does not look like anything. The transmission fluid itself has a high viscosity, so absorbed into asphalt or concrete is extremely slow. Finally, make sure that the cauldron of oil under the car left the box, you can at the location of the puddle - exactly in the middle of the car. This problem should be quickly eliminated, that is, replace either the leaky shaft gland or gasket on the transmission case. If this is not done, with the transmission time they will start slipping, and eventually one day you can not move away at all.

Proceeds gur

For the operation of any hydraulic equipment, which is also a power steering, a low liquid is required. In the automotive GUR, a liquid has a predominantly yellow shade. If it has not changed for a long time, then its color will migrate towards caramel or light red flowers. The consistency of the liquid in moderation is viscous and fat, the absorption is good, the smell is practically not felt, in any case, from distant and average distances. It is usually about the fact that there is little liquid in the GUR tank, the characteristic screeching of the pump, pumping fluid on the system, as well as difficulties with the rotation of the steering wheel. The reason for the occurrence of this defect usually consists in critical wear of seals located on the steering rake. If you get up with their replacement, it can end with a complete loss of manageability by car, so make conclusions yourself.

Flowing windshield washer

Since "non-freezing" is the most frequently changing consumility in the car (if not considered fuel), even inexperienced motorists are excellent with this liquid. True, its identification may be difficult due to a wide variety of compositions (colors can vary from green to orange, representing almost the entire range of rainbow). But the characteristic smell does not confuse with any other. If you still doubt that the water of water in summer under the car has this origin, you can install it experimentally - just turn on the washer. This is enough to determine the color, and the aroma of the washer. Although in the summer, of course, you can use ordinary water instead of "non-freezers". Carefully inspect the washer tank and hoses going to the hood - they may have defects, because of which wet spots are formed under the car.

The brake fluid leaks

This is one of the most unpleasant leaks in the car, since the failure of the brakes is fraught with the most serious consequences. You can diagnose this problem, but the fact is that the brake fluid in its characteristics is similar to the liquid fill in the GUR. It is not surprising, since it is also a hydraulic fluid. Thus, the color and smell in this case will be unreliable markers, which means it is important to determine the localization of leakage. If the train under the car is located in front of the right (with a right-hand drive) or on the left in the area of \u200b\u200bthe steering column - most likely, we are dealing with a leakage of liquid from GUR. The brake fluid is not always localized in the area of \u200b\u200bthe wheels - it can flow where it is suitable, even in the cabin in the area of \u200b\u200bthe brake pedal, or in the back of the car.
Note that on modern vehicles, the loss of tightness of the brake system - the phenomenon is rare, besides, on the instrument panel there is a light bulb that is in a drop in pressure in the highway. But on old machines such a defect is not uncommon. Most often, the cause of leaks is the defect of the hoses that need to be replaced with new ones.

Tosol flow

If you do not count the engine oil, then the antifreeze leakage is perhaps the most common defect among all the above described. The color of the coolant can be different, but on dark asphalt or concrete, it is not always possible to unambiguously judge the shade of the stain. Most often, the smell of Tosola is slightly sweet, and on the consistency it is not much different from the water, that is, absorbed quickly and evaporates as much as possible. The puddle of antifreeze appears in front of the car, and if you come to the car from this side, it will not be difficult to notice it. Usually, the flow appears due to defects of the radiator tubes, as well as the swancy of the nozzles located in the rear of the radiator. With a critical reduction in the level of Tosol, a light bulb will turn into the system, indicating overheating of the power unit - in this case, it is impossible to continue moving - toosol should be addressed and eliminated the reason for the depressurization of the cooling system. You can reach the nearest service station or garage, impoverished homemade burns on the nozzle in the place of leakage. The holes in radiator tubes are also treated, but with the removal of this node.

Motor oil leaks

It is this liquid most often found under the car. And not only because it leaves a characteristic trace - loss of tightness of the lubrication system is considered to be ordinary phenomenon even on the most modern machines. Oil color can vary from light to almost black, depending on age and state. The smell in most cases gives a slightly diesel or gasoline. But this is not a fuel - just a power system and the lubricant system work as closely that the diffusion of these technical fluids occurs. Due to high viscosity, engine oil has low absorption, after its drying, you can see the rainbow divorces characteristic of the transmission lubricant. The most common causes of education under the oil puddle is the defect of the gasket gasket of the power unit, the loss of tightness of the front seal of the crankshaft. Their replacement is conjugate with certain difficulties, so a considerable number of drivers prefers not to solve the problem radically, but to pull oil as it leaks. What is more profitable - to solve you, but sooner or later you will have to change the gasket or ilniki anyway.

Fuel leakage

Often, it is not possible to detect this problem at once, because both gasoline. And diesel fuel evaporates fast enough. But the sharp and recognizable smell helps unequivocally identify this liquid. It will only be left to localize the leak place and eliminate the defect. Most often, the problem lies in fuel hose defects, less often - in the presence of holes in the tank. In the latter case, it is strictly forbidden to eliminate the defect yourself: a lot of gasoline is an extremely dangerous thing, and they stay in the fuel tank, as if carefully you are not soap. The problem is solved in the car service through the use of "cold welding".

Ford Focus Typical representative of small urban Class C cars. It is created on the basis of the Ford's C1 platform, it was also created by Mazda 3, Volvo S40, Ford C-Max, Ford Kuga. Ford Focus competes with Mitsubishi Lancer, Opel Astra, Toyota Corolla, Skoda Octavia, Chevrolet Cruze, Honda Civic, Renault Megane, VW Golf, Nissan Sentra, Subaru Impreza. Ford Focus was equipped with various models of engines, among them both gasoline and diesel engines. The model range is significant from 1.4, 1.6 ecobist engines to 2.5 turbo engines with 300 hp Under the RS version. Consider the degree of reliability, resource, the rules of operation of such engines.

Engine Duratec Ti-Vct 105 hp

Ford Focus Duratec Ti-Vct 1.6 l. 105 hp Similar to Duratec Ti-Vct 1.6 115 hp having a system changing phases of gas distribution, but suppressed under the requirements of Euro-5 environmental norms. This causes a reduction in capacity by 10 hp From a technical point of view, the engine is repetition of the previous version, therefore, the resource of the Ford focus engine 1.6 105 hp According to the manufacturer - 250 thousand km., But in practice it reaches 300-350 thousand. The engine has a belt timber drive, which dictates the need for mandatory replacement of rollers and belt every 160 thousand km. The engine is characterized by reliability, no weakness, but relatively low power. More powerful engines are suitable for fans of speed driving. Cons and pros are characteristic of the entire Zetec-SE line. There are versions of the engine more powerful up to 125 hp

Tuning capabilities.

Improves identical to tiling Ti-VCT 115 hp Due to the fact that the engine power was forcibly reduced, for the requirements of Euro-5, it is possible to raise power up to 140 hp, this is according to experts. In practice, you can confidently talk about 115-120 hp.

Engine Ford Focus 3 TI-VCT 125 hp

Ford Focus Duratec Ti-Vct 1.6 l. 125 hp Similar to DURATEC TI-VCT 1.6 105 hp having a system that allows you to change the phases of gas distribution, only the camshafts are different, the phases themselves are changed themselves, other exhaust, excellent cutoff. All this gives an increased 20 hp. power. Machine resource according to official data - 250 thousand km. Considering that, in fact, this is an old engine from the second focus of 115 hp, in practice, the resource can reach 300-350 thousand. The presence of a timber with belt drive, it is necessary every 160 thousand km. change rollers and belt. Similar to the previous 1.6 liter variants, the engine is reliable, without explicit weaknesses. However, in practice it goes worse than the old 1.6 per 115 hp. Minuses are similar, previous options of the zeta. Under Ford Fiesta MK VI, the engine is defined, to the power of 120 hp

Tuning opportunities

Opportunities for the finalization of this engine are identical to the capabilities of tiling Ti-VCT 115 hp

Engine Focus 3 Duratec 2.0

Ford Duratec He Ti-VCT 2.0 l. 150 hp Created Mazda. An outdated Duratec He 2.0L 145 hp was taken as the basis. By adding a system of changes in the phase of gas distribution and direct injection (GDI) to it. The engine has a resource of 300 thousand km, according to the manufacturer's statements. The practical data on the resource of the engine is not yet available. In our country, the engine power has been forcibly reduced to 149 hp, the initial power reached 160-163 hp. As with the previous DURATEC HE 2.0, we have the presence of a GHR chain drive, for greater reliability. There is enough chains for 200-250 thousand km. The feature of the GDI system is a requirement to combat quality, so low fuel quality is fraught with TNVD faults. On a sharp acceleration, the car with such an engine responds with a getting, and a small failure. There is a small vibration when the engine speed is low and idle (this is not a malfunction but the specificity of the DURATEC 2.0 HE TI-VCT engine). To extend the engine life, it is necessary to carry out more frequent oil replacement, preferably every 8-10 thousand km. There are no other considerable minuses so far, and the engine reviews are usually positive.

Tuning opportunities

As already noted, the engine power was forcibly brought to 149 hp. Initial power engine 163 hp To achieve it, tuning through flashing is carried out. Until tangible changes appear from 5,000 to 6,500 revolutions, the fuel consumption is also increasing. A number of firmware eliminate the failures during acceleration, increase the elasticity of the engine of the third focus with medium turnover. To help the firmware there will be a replacement of intake and exhaust (under Focus, the first and second from ST) are installed, it leads to an increase in power up to 170.

			The unstable work of the Ford focus gasoline engine can be associated with thousands of reasons and be a consequence of anything - from poor gasoline to the malfunction of the ECU. It is simply expressed - when overclocking and pressing the gas pedal, the car twitches, dispersed with jerks, and cotton, knocks and other unpleasant sounds and symptoms are possible. Why the car twists when overclocking, what to do what to check and how to eliminate the malfunction, we will understand together. The stability of the gasoline engine depends on the mass of things. Of course, the quality of the assembly and the thoughtful design play a very important role. The reasons for the jerks should be sought based on the design features of the motor - injector, the type of injector, carburetor, contact or contactless ignition ... Theoretically, for stable engine operation, you must perform only a few conditions - in time to supply fuel to the combustion chamber in the desired quantities, in time to supply the desired amount of air and give a spark in time to ignite the mixture. Actually, this is all. If all these conditions are clearly performed on any revolutions, including in transient modes during acceleration, no failures, shots and twitchings, we will not hear. Nagar on Candle Electrodes In practice, not everything is so simple, especially in modern Fords. For each process corresponds to a certain electronic system and to keep track of them difficult. Therefore, to help the driver, the autodiagnosis system knocks out error or check engine. Indeed, error codes can drive a breakdown on the trail, but it happens not always. These are the main reasons for which the Ford focus engine is accelerated, regardless of generation. Iridiya candles with a mileage of about 100 thousand Fake iron on candlelight. What is it for? Bad fuel and what is ferrocen We are not accustomed to us that we play in the gas stations in a kind of lottery - lucky is not lucky. The quality of the fuel is unstable, the octane number is not always withstanding, and the chemical composition of gasoline can only be guessing We will not seriously delve into gasoline production technology, let's just say that there is only one right way to raise an octane number without damage to the engine - catalytic reforming. The method allows you to get gasoline with any octane number. Only here is the process of this expensive and if we bought the 95th gasoline produced by this technology, it would cost three times more. No, such gasoline in nature exists, but on ordinary refills it is sold rarely. The same Chinese ferrocene, murderer candles and golden lived for oil companies There are a lot of other ways to make high-octane fuels from cheap second-rate gasoline, and the most popular of them is the addition of ferrocene. This is the so-called chemical process. Everything is simple. Ferrocene - orange-red powder, the cost of which is one and a half dozen dollars per kilogram. And Chinese - even cheaper. This kilogram is enough to raise an octane number to 98 in 50 tons of gasoline! One can only imagine how oil companies are not interested in the disclosure of this technology. This is enough for "improvement" of low-fusion gasoline tank All would be good, the octane number was raised with a small blood, the price of gasoline did not take over, but there are several nuances. Ferrocene is an organometallic compound, which includes iron, which is not difficult to guess from the name. And not only iron. During the combustion of gasoline, iron from the additive is postponed not only on the valves and the bottom of the piston, but also on candles, lambda probes, catalysts, sensors, and other places, where the conductive film is not needed at all. And what, oil companies so easily kill our engines, and where are the controls of the authorities? On profits and kickbacks. Ferrocene is prohibited from almost all over the world, but before its content in the amount of 37 mg / l was the norm. Our standards have not abandoned Ferrocene completely, but simply reduced the dose. Nominally now in each liter of gasoline 17 mg of this powder. But if you believe that someone controls the process of mixing additives and low-quality gasoline, then you are deeply mistaken. Too greatly seduced to get super-profits on a pair of powder spoons and a pair of cheap fuel railway compositions. The result of the work of ferrocene - killed candles and lambda probe We conclude. We want it, we do not want, in gasoline that sell us at gas stations, in any case there will be additives, including this ferrocene. Our task is simply selectively refer to the gas station and not refund there, where the fuel affects the appearance of iron scale on candles and valves. Ford focus twigs. Bad fuel and how to deal with it In no way. We can't check the fuel at refueling, visually assess its quality - too. Therefore, we will take a number of measures to at least somehow protect the engine from the influence of additives and debris Editor's Choice "Russian cars from the banks of Daugava" why so popular 6.5 Power Supply: K-123 Carburetor - Single-chamber With Falling Stream and Horizontal Air Supplies ...
