Eddiemax28 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hi all I'm new here, my dad has a 2008 Ford Focus cc 2.0 tdci and it has been in the garage a month now to sort the problem he had on it and the problem is still there, he was drive around 70mph on a duel carriage way and with out no warning the car started to rev on its own so he pulled over straight away and stalled it and waited a few mins and he started it back up with no problems at all and it started knocking (diesel knock) and Miss firing, he managed to get to my house (5 mins away) and I had a quick look and the heat from the engine was so intense it would take your breath away and there was smoke/steam coming from the exhaust system. He rang the garage he bought the car off (1 month after buying it) and the picked the car up and the mechanic drove it on the flat bed and it was puffing white smoke out the exhaust and it smelled of diesel so they took it to the garage and they had the injectors referbished and gave it back and my dad took it back as it was so sluggish so the garage checked the turbo and the turbo has collapsed so they but a referished turbo on and it runs sweet when it's cold and as soon as it warms up it starts to slutters between 1500-2500rpm and the garage can't find out what the problem is, they Evan took the injectiors out and sent them away to be tested and all come back great. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 bent conrods after initilaly over revving, rods could be only slightly bent causing a drop in compression pressures on one or more cyls. seen it on a couple of mondeos, the garage needs to do a compression test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiemax28 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 The garage done a compression test and not good. The compression was low in all 4 cylinders and they have sed it needs a new engine. The car is on finance and still under warranty. The garage where my dad have got the car from have said my dad could have another car as the focus will be going under the insurance of the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
