magicflying Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi All, I bought my focus about 8m ago and have had nothing but niggle after niggle. Last Friday I was driving and all was well.... I stopped to look at a car and in the 30mins I was talking to the owner and looking round I had decided it wasn't for me. I jumped back into the Focus and turned around in this drive. As I went to pull out onto the road the car wouldn't pull past 2k and was jumpy has hell upto its not rev limit. The dash displayed - Engine Malfunction, service Now - and the Hill start assist was deactivated. I managed to limp it home and left it over night. Next day the same issue so I limped it work and got one of the guys to plug it in to there Snap on unit and it showed injector 2 and o2 sensor faults. New injector fitted and off to ford to be programed and the issue is still there. The guys where I work aren't clued up on Fords as we specialise in Astons and Lotus so diesel is a dirty word to them. Ford want ££££££ just to diagnose the issue and im skint Anyone help ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 check the connector at injector 2, it could be as simple as cleaning the contacts of the connector with electrical contact cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicflying Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 So the guys have noticed a few nibbles on the foam under the engine cover and think I might of had a mouse in there... so could of wasted ££££ on a new injector !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 So do your mechanics know which injector is number 2? I bet they have replaced the wrong one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford_lover38 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Surprised Ford wouldnt look at it for free. Down here they will look at ANY fault for free, even make you a tea and give you the wifi password while you wait! I only went in to get a tyre changed and they gave me a years free breakdown cover with the AA! Money well spent. But equally I have heard some complete horror stories from other Ford dealerships. If i was you i would ring around cause alot of places will check your car for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
