alexp999 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just put my mum's reg in to ETIS, and it has come up with this in red: Outstanding Field service Actions 4S615 - FOCUS - 1.0L ECOBOOST - DEGAS HOSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thats the one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 My Focus MK3 does also have this message in Etis. However I already changed the hose last year to avoid future problems of this known problem. As far as I know at this time nobody received a letter from Ford in the Netherlands. Personally I am more curious about the PCM update. Does anybody have more information about this?

alexp999 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm taking my car in tomorrow for the new cat (should finally fix my rattle), so I'll ask about this and see what they say as it appears to apply to my mum's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 My local dealer checked my mum's reg this morning when I dropped my car off and they confirmed there is an outstanding recall applicable to it. They are ordering the part and will then get her booked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notfocused Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 booked mine in for a recall this Friday. first registered June '12.... is this something to be worried about?...got to make 2 trips to Gatwick Airport this week from east london (~65mls each way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFocus Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi notfocused, You need to get this done asap if not done so already. I was one of the 'lucky' unlucky ones - thankfully I was round the corner from home when white smoke started pouring from the engine, no warning light and temp didn't go above half way as normal. Didn't knacker my engine but I was lucky! I hadn't received a recall letter :( . Engine was on 34000 miles and 5 days out of 3yr warranty but it's all been sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikecast Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi guys, had mine checked by Jennings ford a few days ago and they are saying it didn't need changing. Does someone have a pic of the area so I can double check this myself? I'm learning as I go so I'm not sure where exactly it is located. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This is from piston heads (http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=3&f=23&t=1446484&i=80&mid=0&nmt=Ford+Ecoboost+Engine+Failure+(TWICE)): The second picture is how my mums 1.0 looks now and they also did a PCM update.

Jay-nine Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Mine is having a new engine fitted after keep taking it back to the garage with a coolant leak and them telling me there was nothing wrong with it. Haven't seen my car in 8 weeks!! Won't give me a new car, only had car since end of October :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikecast Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks Alex, I will give it a check tomorrow. Want to know for sure it's been checked. I assume all cars with the old plastic pipe definitely need it replacing with the rubber hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 As far as I know, that is the case yes. Although on my mums, the rubber hose connects back on to the expansion/reservoir tank. The pics give you a good idea of the old and new style pipes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikecast Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks, I will check it tomorrow as I'm working shortly and the Mrs is at work with my car. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
