sucofdrof Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 So I've just purchased a 14 plate Mk3 Focus 1.6 TDCI which I got for a fantastic price, I've just had it in to a main ford dealer for a service and they have picked up on an oil leak from around the throttle body housing (which they say is covered by the manufacturers warranty) and it's booked in for this repairing next week. Here are a few pictures of the leak, just wondering if anyone with this engine has has had this ? Also I've noticed this pipe which is in between the air box and turbo , it's held on with cable ties and it looks a bit tatty which makes me think it's been off before. Is anyone elses the same? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldtail77 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think the tatty looking bit is a heat shield. Looks like the turbo is right next to it, which will get might warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my thoughts exactly, the car is an x-fleet car and has a full ford history but I can't say for sure if that tatty pipe hasn't been replaced, it is an original ford pipe because it has the FOMOCO logo stamped on it and some sort of aligning white marker paint on the pipe and the cable tie. Hopefully more users with this engine could confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sucofdrof Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Just had a quick Google image search of this engine and it does look like this is how it leaves the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
