Ford Focus MK1, 5 1.6 16v

Featured Replies

greeting a problem I have had with this focus for 5 years. when it's cold outside, the temperature is below 20 degrees. The car drives normally, it pulls well, and when it's very hot outside, it happens to have no power, I can't start overtaking, the car chokes, I don't know what to do, I've tried and replaced everything but I got nothing.



Model?

Cc?

Hp?

Please write more clearly so it would be better to understand.

Молим вас пишите јасније како би било боље разумети.

when it's below 20 degrees outside, the car drives well and has power. when it's hot outside in the summer, the car has no power up the hill and when overtaking the car chokes

I know a case that had the opposite issue.

Cold weather no power, warm weather alright.

Its problem was about engine's timing.

Can you explain to me what engine timing means? Did he have to open the engine and do the engine overhaul?

It has something to do how the engine works, about the way the engine's parts work properly.

 

In your car there could be other causes of this problem.

where should I start looking for the problem. I replaced the pcv valve, I replaced the MAF sensor, I replaced the throttle sensor. I don't know what else to change.

What about spark plugs and spark plugs cables?

Is it over heating?

Is the thermostat the correct one for your climate?

I think the climate there is warm summer and cold winter.

But the thermostat should be checked.

Шта је са свећицама и кабловима за свећице?

I changed the spark plugs and cables many times because there was chopping during driving. But the problem with the loss of power did not change

Мислим да је клима тамо топло лето и хладна зима.

Али термостат треба проверити.

I've had the car for 5 years, the air conditioner won't turn on, I don't know if it's empty or if there's some other problem. How can I check the thermostat, where is it located.

Да ли је прегрејано?

Да ли је термостат исправан за вашу климу?

the car has never overheated, everything works normally, the heating works perfectly, only the air conditioner does not work, I don't know if it needs to be charged or there is some other problem. Where is the thermostat for the air conditioner. I know where it is for the coolant, but I don't know where is the air conditioning? How can he cause a problem with the loss of power.

It's the engine thermostat I'm referring to

То је термостат мотора на који мислим

so you mean the coolant thermostat. But I never had a problem with the temperature rising. How can it cause the car to not pull when hot and go when cold
