Emzey Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Good Afternoon, I bought a 54 plate 1.8 Ford Focus C-Max Zetec last month and it has a problem with the petrol and rev counter all dropping below the 0/empty lines and they are running below what they should when the car is running. Its hard to tell if the temperature gauge also has the same issue. Also I have found that the car is over revving when the car is stationary. Does anyone know what the fault is? Is it a sensor fault? At this time of year I don't have the money to go and get a fault diagnostics report done (The previous owner had got an engine one done prior to us buying it and it was clear) Thank you in advance for any help/idea's to what it can be.

SeanW Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Sounds like the speed sensor - quite a common fault that plays all sorts of tricks on the cluster. There are a fair few threads in the Focus section about it. Not sure on the over rev though Is it petrol or diesel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emzey Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks for your reply SeanW I will do a search on the speed sensor. Its a petrol car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
