  • Help! Buy what Focus??

    Hi, I want a focus and the dealer of my trust has three models that I have taken into the short choice. Can you tell me something about price/performance? How would you decide? I drive about 8000 KM /year mainly city. Diesel would then run out of +- 0 after my bill. I am already testing the tournament and the diesel. The tournament was for my terms the more beautiful driving feeling, although the diesel was a bit more splashy but somehow rougher and louder What I noticed negatively are the standard seats. I felt much more comfortable in the sports seats. I haven’t driven the sports limosine yet, but he doesn’t have an ESP, which somehow annoys me. At the prices the dealer does not want to do anything with any of the vehicles, which exceeds 500 EUR. Here are the three cars:Number 1 Number 2 Number 3 Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Ford Focus C-Max (problems about problems)

    I bought a Ford Focus C-Max 2.0 TDCi Ghia (136hp) about a 3/4 year ago! Currently KM stand 28 000. At first I was satisfied with the car, but then the problems started!!!! I also switched on the lawyer now!!! Interfering noises in the interior: Amature board, center console, nicking driver seat, radio cover, belt, seals,……! Engine dropouts! Light swings!!! Brake assistants problems! Recall action due to rear windscreen wiper engine! Radio spins ö fters! and, and, and the list of defects is as long as it is to despair! The company has already fixed many of the defects, but there are always new ones on and it seems to take no end!! Would like to read from you comments, whether this is an individual case, as the company says, or whether the C-Max is a common problem car. Would I be happy about many comments, as I want to get on the toes of the company!!!!!!

  • quick down/up

    hello, drive the focus ghia tournament. with me on the driver side the quick down/up function is defective, i.e. the windows no longer drive automatically, but I have to hold the button. thus I can no longer close the window per fb. I was told that the engine is defective. I have now found an interesting article at ebay. however, the actuator comes from a three doorr. can I still use it? quick down/up has the focus on the driver side d Here’s the link: http://cgi.ebay.de/…1619QQihZ015QQcategoryZ38729QrdZ1QQcmdZViewIt’s just the engine, not the complete window lifter system.But as far as I know, only the motor contains this quick up/down technology, right? mfg markus

  • Seats of the Ford Focus are disaster !!

    Hello, I drove a Ford Focus test, nice car, from the inside quite nice, good chassis, but the seats were a disaster !!! Both my girlfriend and I had after 20 minutes Ford Focus still driving 3 hours pain in the lumbar spine. There were the seats of my Golf 4 really much better. Unfortunately, also no Recaros for the TDCI (136 HP) were available. Is there a service hotline of Ford that you can call? Ciao Pedro P.S. Somehow there is no good car in the price situation up to 22 teuros without serious defects…. (car 1.) seats good, suspension bad car 2.) seats bad, suspension good….) The seats of the Mondeo were also worse than from the competition (Opel Vectra, Passat,…)

  • 1.8 16V power

    Hi, who of you has the 1.8l 16v engine in focus? I have a bj 99 and unfortunately can’t look forward to the performance! would have expected more! sometimes I have problems to overtake a little fiesta even though I’ve kicked through the gas full and also switch back a walk! Or such a Seat Toledo pulls out behind me, I just overtook it with 190, and pulls it past me like a arrow a few hundred meters further! to stay at our focus tournament is also damn hard, ifwoh l the 15ps has less and weighs more! is that normal? how can I get more power out of it without spending hundreds of euros?

  • Rust crossbars, drive shafts, swivel bearing, FF II

    Hello, at the first year inspection I had the opportunity to see the FF II trend, EZ 06/05 , only 5,000 km (second car ) from below. I am shocked, the parts look like structural steel which is already very long in the open air : Completely rusted crossbars, as well as the drive shafts, as well as the swivel bearings… and still some screws. I have not even seen this in older vehicles. Our previous second car ( Mazda MX3 ) looked not nearly like this even after 8 years. drive otherwise for several years, and have already passed through some vehicles. I will probably go to a car expert and pass the pictures on to the ́car picture ́. Ford Cologne ́s ́test ́ still.. Who has similar problems / experiences ? Greeting xylo

  • Ford Focus without speaker, what fits?

    Hello all, I bought a Ford focus st 3 doory in black from a direct importer. can pick up the car on Thursday only the small problem: the car would be ordered without a speaker and without a radio. now nobody can tell me what kind of speaker of the size fits. can someone help me there? would still be nice if I had the speaker until Thursday and could then immediately connect, the motor sound is the hammer but a bit of music must also be 🙂 Thank you and greet you

  • How long does a Ford MOTOR live?

    Hello I have a ford focus to buy! now it is in my price class that the vehicles with klimatronic and 100hp all have around 100tkm. but would also have an offer with 48tkm 75hp without climate at the same price. now asks me how long does a ford motor live in normal driving mode? is it worth buying a ford with 100tkm?

  • FoFo I to FoFo II

    I hope I don’t spoil the owners of the FoFo II, but the design of the II seems to me to be very reserved. To put it mildly, I find the appearance of the I, especially the compact model, more beautiful. I find only the new ST visually appealing, but not the “normal” models. Who can do the same ? or do I stand there alone on the floor?
