Hello together! I have the following problem: my Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI replaced the turbocharger – on guarantee as it was initially said. To this end, last year in February I bought the car from dealer A with a Ford Protect Garatnie 3 years, max. 60,000 kilometers. Last year an AGR valve was exchanged on guarantee. The replacement of the turbocharger happened at dealer B. 3 times I asked if the thing is handled via the warranty. 3 times this was done. After the repair (one week later) the workshop manager called and said that the warranty was not valid, as the first maintenance was not done. The first maintenance much more in the time when dealer A used the car as a demonstration car. Dealer A has now talked to dealer B and made it clear to him that the car was logged off at the time when it was standing at it as a demonstration car and the maintenance interval was delayed accordingly – in this case the maintenance was at 18,000 After 1.5 years instead of 1 year. Somehow I get rid of both sides. On the one hand, dealer B did not check in advance whether the damage is actually handled on guarantee. Now he wants to have coal without telling me before that I had to pay. Dealer A would have also picked up the car free of charge and repaired it on guarantee. Now dealer B starts an inquiry at Ford in Cologne, whether a vehicle is standing at the dealer and logged off i On the other hand, dealer A has sold me a car with a warranty that does not seem to be accepted by all Ford workshops. The warranty is even included in the purchase contract. How should I behave now? The repair would cost 1700 euros! Does dealer A have to pay the repair costs in case of an emergency? Can dealer B charge me anything at all since I have not been offered a repair?

I bought a roof support from Ford for my Focus II (3-door, built in 2007) and wanted to fix it today. The instructions say that before the first installation at the mounting points on the roof you have to remove the sealing mass in the area of the threaded holes at the front and back. I removed the slip-off plates, but underneath there are no threaded holes, any dimming material that covers the roof, I can’t see. Ford has there at the Focus over the last year. I can’t screw the bolts with the roof.

Ak tuell: – Radio spins (does not store frequ. anymore, no alternative frequ.) – Cover under the windscreen wipers is warped/lighter, was dismantled during repair of the rubber buffer, but is probably not made for it. – Knarten dashboard in the area of the front window – passenger seat crunches If the box would not drive so great (toi toi toi), then I would have set it on fire!!! I’ve already invested so much time, never happened to me in a new car. all brands have problems, also VW (see Forum Touran :-)) ) Will take care of my “intensive patient”, as long as he drives. Greetings Dietmar

How did we pick up our new Focus Fun X today (four weeks before the actual delivery date). Later we found out that the side mirrors and the door handles are not painted in car color. What functions should the on-board computer have? How can you tell that it is really the new Fun X?

Hello in dezember got my new Focus ST in this orange. Had a few paint defects on it like e.g. on the tank lid and at the edges of the two door handles. They were removed however directly. It looked as if the paint was too thin at these places. Did anyone else notice such defects on his ST?
