Timing Belt Or Chain?

26 January 2013 - 09:09 PM

Hi guys.

I have a 2005 1.6 TDCi 110bph focus. It's done 108k miles and I am aware it needs the timing belt changed at 125k miles. But I have heard that the older models have timing chain.

Could someone clarify it for me?

Cheers

Dash Warning Light

14 November 2012 - 09:32 AM

Hi Guys

I have a 2005 Mk 2 Focus, it's a 1.6 TDCI LX. Recently while driving home the engine fault light came on. I decided to pull over and check the engine. Nothing seemed out of place on it. So I set off again. When I started the car again the light went off. The same happened again this morning.

I get the car serviced every six thousand miles. This includes changing air, oil and fuel filter. The car has just done over 104k miles and is due to have the timing belt changed at around 125k miles.

Is this serious or can I let it slide to the end of the month?

Thanks in advance!

Steering Rack

Hi

Does anyone know where I could get a nylon bushing for a 1997 Encore Fiesta?

The car has no power steering. There are no physical effects on the driving. It is purely as my brother will be doing his driving test in the car and doesn't feel confident with the squeaking noise that it makes when he turns and the noise when the car is cruising.

Turbo Seems Not To Be Working

24 October 2012 - 04:02 PM

Hi

I am having a problem with my Ford Focus. It's the Mk2 1.6 TDCI.

The turbo doesn't seem to be working when I accelerate. It has done 100k miles and I get it serviced without fail every 6k miles by a garage. The turbo was replaced at 88k miles, so I can't see why it would go after around 12k miles.

Could it be dirty diesel that could be causing the problem?

Thanks in advance

Engine Puffing

14 February 2012 - 06:15 PM

Hi. I recently bought a 2005 1.6 tdci focus. It started making a puffing sound coming from the injectors. I inspected this further and there is a bit of white/grey smoke coming from injectors too. It's just done shy of 91k miles. Does anyone know what this could be?
