Hello , now it’s so far have picked up my ST on Friday. No delivery delay or similar. Of course I let it go slowly and am quite satisfied with the purchase of the ST because I ordered it without a test drive etc. just like that. Don’t have ncoh much KM on the tacho because I was tensed in time but I noticed some things and wanted to hear if it is also with you or maybe also stöhrt. – Find the sitting position simply too high for a sports car, seats but are very pleasant and offer good side support. – restless driving behaviour in the lower speed range ( a kind of jerking ) – Ford should have quietly laid the ST a bit deeper or ? – interior pleasantly processed with nice details. – understeer and restless behavior of the steering at extreme speed Now don’t hit it immediately but what tank do you ? Super or SuperPlus ?? images follow ….

Hello 🙂 I hope someone can give me some answers to my questions…somehow I find it hard to find complete wheels for my focus ( year 01 ). Maybe I have to get rid of something before: 3 weeks ago I shot myself at Ebay complete wheels, actually everything was right, except for the press-in depth ( I know…seehhr important ). Were original Ford rims ( allegedly also for all Focus ), but well… did not fit, ET was 52,5. Now the actual questions: In my approval, the tyre size is only 185/65 R14 and the rims are only 5.5Jx14 H2 ET 43,5 or 47,5. If I look for exactly this assembly, I’m still looking for it next summer. Can I also drive rims with a lower ET value? E.g. ET 18? And can I also drive tyres 60R or 70R, 6 or 7 J, R15 or 16? I know that I have to have them registered (or when do I have to and when not). These are many questions at once, I know, but if I only have a p Aar get answers, the selection will definitely be bigger. Thanks already in advance to everyone. Nice evening, Focusine 🙂 PS: Maybe someone has some to sell here?! *g*

After about 2 years of Mondeo TDCI time I will order my Focus ST next week. As I have already read in other articles, a test drive with this car is almost impossible to get. After about 10 calls to various dealers one of them was able to make the car available to me for 15 minutes; however, only with the dealership boss on the passenger side 🙂 Well so far so good. After the test trip I had noc h a few questions, which the master could answer only unsatisfactoryly. Therefore, I now turn to you with my questions and hope that you can help with: 1. The Keyfree system: How does this system work with the ambient lighting. If I understand this correctly, the ambient lighting is there for me to facilitate the way to the car at night. With a radio remote control I can still explain this if I press the button 10m before. But how does it work? The same with the overall closing and opening function. I know the function from my Mondeo. However, I have to press the button on the remote control longer for this. 2. Everywhere I see the ST in electric orange. Does any of you have a picture of a silver ST? 3. Reserve wheel. In the test car was a spare wheel in the trunk. However, the trunk looked very small. With the tire kit the boot floor is just as nidr ig? So, basically instead of the spare wheel? 4. Does the Bluetooth preparation work (which works for 290,00) and the Sony MP3 radio with the Sony W800? What are your experiences with the Bluetooth system in focus? 5. If I read the price list correctly, then there is really only the leather equipment in the “4 seater” version. Is that right? So. These would be my questions. Would be great if you could give me an answer at least to one or other question. In this sense. A nice Sunday n och. Thank you and MfG

Hi, so if I read through the threads here, I seem to have a very special copy of a C-MAX. I have mine with 1.8l petrol engine, FUN edition in Jeans Blau for exactly three months now and not the slightest problems. There’s nothing (that’s why I’m very sensitive), it doesn’t go out almost when the climate is switched on (but it’s a manual one), yes, it just fits everything. Of course, I don’t want to shout anything and hope it stays that way. So you see, it’s also different! Greetings Oli

I noticed something strange at the Ford Focus Fun (and at Ambiente). Why does this variant not have the possibility to purchase a computer on board? At the same time, the connection (whose savings are expressed in relation to the ambience in the brochure) has such a standard. Is this a printing error in the brochure for Ambient and Fun or is there other reasons that these models cannot be given a computer on board, the connection (which also exactly o how ambient and fun still allows the 80hp engine) but already? [and a temperature and consumption indicator should not be such an exclusive accessory that you have to take a much more expensive equipment variant for this]

Hello, We were now with our C-Max with the family in Carinthia. Fully loaded with 2 adults, 2 children, luggage to under the roof and 12V cooler. He brought us back wonderful time and again. Then we drove over the Katschbergpass. No problem with the 109 diesel hp. On the last day we passed the Nassfeldpass to Italy. This was mainly in the 3rd gear at 1500-2000 rpm, without excessive effort. The engine power is completely sufficient for solo operation and there When I think of our old TD with 90hp, there was hardly anything going on under 2000 revolutions. I was surprised by the consumption: highway to behind Salzburg: 5,63 average Over Katschberg, some other passes up and still something in Carinthia was dwindling (with the 10000km hurdle exceeded): 5,39 (Agip refueled for 99,4ct!!!!) Still about 200km drove, of which the track over Nassfeldpass and then filled for the home journey: 5,27 (Esso however for 102,9 ct) I drove 60km with 3.9 liters of fuel consumption lt BC. At the last two refuellings I noticed that the indicated range is now over 1100 km. After 100 KM the range is still at 999 km. All consumptions are lt tank receipt. Now on my way home I have 4,9 lt BC. Up to Munich there were 4,5, but then AC and higher speeds have done something more. Have now driven 780 km and a residual range of 260 km. Conclusion : The minx has a wonderful and economical engine. We are so far very satisfied!!!!

Hello! I’ve been getting a new Focus ST since a few weeks..! He has now about 1800km down and I was already at the oil change so that I can really give gas as well prescribed!!! But now I have a problem that he squeaks when starting the engine when it’s cold!!! If I have pulled the car up 2-3 times that’s already gone again..! Nervt only that when it’s cold and I start him then he squeaks and sounds stupid..! my workshop m I agreed that this comes from the turbo but they don’t know what it is and that it will eventually go away again! Maybe another one has the problems and can help me?! Thanks in the vorrus!

First of all a hello here in the Focus community! I don’t want to reveal my car stories at this point, because unfortunately far too much in this area has run out of control and I want to finally come to my senses…only from the financial I need a practical everyday car, with which I can get anywhere! If the BMW sales will hopefully work in the foreseeable future, the following two variants should be in my purchase intention:Focus II Tournament F ocus C-MaxMotors: Diesel I have already informed myself a little bit about this and it should probably become one of them: 1.6er/1.8er/2.0er TDCI – however if possible with soot filter – and that is exactly what is currently even more difficult out… but have already found a few copies in the car exchanges. My questions now at a glance: a) In which design do I get a mountain bike completely pure without large disassembly (okay, if ́s front wheel has to get out, no problem)? b) which of the two is the “Current”, i.e. from the technical point of view, or are both of them equally up? c) which motorization is sufficient for both variants? d) are there certain points for used people, which must be taken into account (sorry, unfortunately only had an old Fiesta 1.1 as the first car so far)? My budget is probably about 15,000-17.000 – depending on how much I still get for my coupé. I already say thank you in advance for your help!

Hello, since I will soon rewind about 30tkm/year, I think to switch to a diesel. How is the use of the respective diesel at 100km/h and at 130km/h? According to the FOFOI brochure, the difference between my 1.6 and a diesel in this range would be max. 1.5L/100km. I consume at 100km/h 6.5 and at 130km/h 7.0L. Then a change would not be worthwhile, as my car is only two years old and I would have a value loss of over 5tsd EUR, which would not more to enter.

Hello all, new price list is online! Basic prices 3 / 5 doors have increased by 275 euros. Black headlight series. Theft / alarm system only available with interior surveillance – 290 euros.
