Category: Ford Focus & C-Max Forum

Hello, I really have a stupid question: is there any trick to pull the plugs at the back of the sony (without a cd changer)? I don’t get the dinger off. my problem: on the left I don’t have any sound anymore. to find out if it’s on the radio itself, or on the cabling/boxing, I want to connect another ford radio. add question: can you damage the lock with self-made unlocking devices? 4 to 5 MAl has worked, now the thing wants to go left can the original tools help? help!! thanks ;-))

Can someone help me with a selection? I’m short from buying a Ford Focus C-Max, now I’m still not sure which engine I should take. 2.0 TDCI with 136 hp or 1.8 or 2.0 gasoline with 125 hp /145 hp? My annual mileage performance – about 9 to 11 Tkm. Now I drive every year for at least 20 days with the camping car, does the petroler manage that? But the diesel is much more expensive. For every good advice I am grateful.

Hello I have bought a Ford Focus this year the car is 2 years old I have now had to attend a workshop appointment because the track rods are defective and that with 26000km I noticed during the observation of the operating temperature of the motor that the engine takes a very long time to get very warm and also a temperature drop occurs at downhill. I addressed the problem in my Ford workshop and the workshop master told me that Termostard where the T emperature controlled by the engine electronically controlled while and that was normal, the engine would be already sufficiently warm enough with 70 degrees so I can’t believe someone also has such a problem the focus is built 10.04

I can probably only answer the question by a car electrician. I noticed that the voltage of the battery is running while the engine is running and the front disc heating is under 12V. I asked in the workshop and they say that would be normal, the Lima would only switch on if necessary. Can one confirm that or is there something lazy with the Lima in my C-Max. Must say that it starts every morning reliably.

Hello, on Saturday I picked up my ST at the Patz car dealership, had converted my Focus ST to car gas. Plant is an ICOM JTG with 86L gross tank. So far I am absolutely satisfied with the car. Is everything as previously said. Car runs noticeably better with car gas than with normal Super petrol. Have with me two nice routes to test, one goes up on the BAB a quite steep mountain. With Super petrol I arrived in the 5th to 220 as soon as I started in the 6th It has fallen to 215km/h (tacho). Couldn’t even keep the speed, with autogas when I speed up to 222km/h at 220 in the sixth shift. It keeps the speed up to 222km/h after that. The other track also keeps the mountain up again to 180km/h with super petrol, with Super Plus at 185km/h with Shell V power also at 185km/h and with Autogas also at 185km/h. Therefore, I have no power decrease due to the gas operation. S uper Plus costs 1.269 with us at the moment, car gas only 60 cents. I am very satisfied with the system. I can only recommend the retrofitter Patz, everything worked out 1A, the system runs round, consultation was great and what so everything belongs to it. I can’t say anything about consumption, but now I have to refuel, let’s see how much I use my normal work path. You can see pictures here: http://home.arcor.de/hommer1964/focus/gas/ If you are interested in how much with consumption etc. looks like Then let me know, I’ll write something with you once in a while when something new happens. Greetings Hommer Achja what I just remembered, the Focus ST has an oil temperature indicator, there’s no difference between gasoline and gas on the normal routes. Only at full gas on the BAB goes I think the oil temperature 2-5 degrees higher than with normal petrol. However, even at 250 the oil temperature has not yet reached the center of the indicator, but always remains 1-2mm in front of it. But unfortunately, the measurement because of the ESP only turned out to be scrap.

Hello guys, so that a front-driver at the front wears the tyres more than at the rear is clear but not like mine. 6000 km driven and only 5 mm in front on it. Is that normal, or do you have other experiences. Can one have a new adjustment with track and fall achieve improvements ? I have specially picked out the tyres from the ADAC test which are reasonably inexpensive from the good a) and b) have best marks in wear. But did not help anything. Maloya tyres I have back are still 7mm on it. as I said for 6000 km a bit happy for my taste

After a surprisingly long time there is now the E5 standard:http://www.spiegel.de/auto/current/0,1518,454358.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gas standard Therefore: Does anyone have the exact exhaust gas values for the 1.6 tdci DPF? …What would be necessary for a re-encryption? Ford itself does not seem to me to be interested in this topic 🙁 MfG

Moin I’m really thinking about buying an “old” ST. Well, my wife likes the suspension from the Focus very well and especially, in contrast to our Cougar, the park friendliness. Well, it’s only 161cm big! What only bothers me are here some things that you read like the box does not have the power. If I just buy such a car I also wanted to upgrade it to LPG and if someone has experience with it : Please post it! Greeting Berni

C-Max Mobil -1, 0W-30 Oil change ? ! ? Hello, yesterday we had the first oil change in the frame of the first view. We have the 1.6 VTI 115PS gasoline, Ber the view was suggested to me an oil change ( 2400 km). OK In the question which oil I took full syn., so far so good. Then I have seen the mobile 1, 0-30 can enter ( € 20,50 of the Lieter, swallow ), but can I drive at all ? In the service booklet are but other oil types. And now? To know is the mobile one of the Best oils, or do I have the bottle soup in it? mfg Stevensf7
