Focus 1.8 TDCi
2009
36k Miles
When I release the clutch in 1st gear to set off I get a really strange squeal noise coming from god knows where, sometimes its longer, sometimes its a quiet squeal. Noticed its a lot louder when doing a hill start.
All the other gears are fine
Only other problem I have with the gears is that there really stiff on cold mornings, but think that's a cold/warm gearbox oil issue...
If it helps... This has only started since I hit a pothole, it was a large one which damaged my wheel/tyre but this might not be anything to do with it.
Any help would be great! Thanks...

Which One?

I'm not sure which one to go for! Thinking MPG alone.
2010 1.6 TDi Zetec S (Old shape) Urban: 50.4mpg
2011 1.6 Zetec Petrol (New shape) Urban: 35.3mpg
I do town miles, prob go on the motorway once a week, but I'm a fast driver (rarely do 30-40)
I have a 2009 1.8 TDi Titanium now... Urban is 42.0mpg but I get 29.9mpg so I know what it says isn't correct anyway
Any help would be great!
People who have the above? Tell us how you drive and what mpg it states?
Thanks

Tdci Shudder & Window Rattle

Hi,
New here...
Picked up my 3DR 2009 Focus Titanium 1.8 TDCi (25k Miles), 2 weeks ago.
Just have a few questions.
Tonight, I noticed a shudder when I was accelerating in 2nd & 3rd gear so stopped and revved and there is a shudder. Engine was started 5 minutes earlier so maybe because its cold? Not noticed this in the 2 weeks I've had it (500 miles)
Next, Is the windows!! Think its because of the 3dr (Bigger doors/windows), but my windows rattle once opened on every bump! Does anybody's 3dr do this?
Think that's it for now! Love the car, gone from a 2011 Polo 3 cylinder to this tank
Thanks!!
