franko77kool Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi, im new here! Just bought a 63 reg focus 1.6 tdci titanium. It was advertised as an econetic and the dealer said it was an econetic. This wasnt the reason i bought it though as i was just after excellent condition tdci focus in titanium trim. So, ive went to tax it and was suprised when i saw that it isnt free tax as the econetic models are meant to be, its £20 for the year. Then i checked and saw that the engine is 115ps and not 105ps? The car has an econetic badge on the right side of the boot lid though, im confused! Has anyone come across something like this before?

iantt Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 is it econetic badge or the econetic technology badge, ford decided to slap the powered by econetic technology badge on all 16 diesels and 1.0 ecoboosts around 2012/2013 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Not only the 1.6 TDCI and 1.0 ECOboost engines. On most European markets the 2.0 TDCI and 1.6 ECOboost do also have the ECOnetic technologies badge. The ECOnetic Technologies versions are different from the 95 and 105 HP ECOnetic versions. The following website explains the ECOnetic Technologies philosofy : http://technology.fordmedia.eu/documents/Ford_GreenECOneticExplained.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franko77kool Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Yeah the badge says econetic technology..., so does the actual focus tdci econetic model only say "econetic" on the badge then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 no, there was a version that had an eceonetic only badge but cant remember what year it was. just enjoy that that little extra power for £20 year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franko77kool Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Haha yeah iantt i will mate! I was just wondering/worrying if either its had a new whole boot lid for some dodgy reason at some point or the dealer just got the car spec totally wrong. I guess maybe the latter then. Cheers for the info folks. By the way is it easy to remove the badge? It looks naff i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 You can remove it with a bit of dental floss or an old credit card easy enough. Best to do it after a wash when it's wet. I quite like it though...means people don't immediately know I drive a deathly diesel these days... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonro2009 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Best to use a hairdryer on the badge, heat the glue up and then use some fishing wire behind the badge to ease it off and then next some tar remover to get rid of any residual glue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
