  Hello all. I recently purchased a 2001 Ford Focus after knowing there was a potential problem as when i started the car, there was a "rattling" noise under the car. This could have been a Loose Heat Shield or even worse the KAT. I took it to KwikFit and it turned out to be the KAT... So

• Ford Fusion (2002 - 2008) - 2004 1.4 Diesel Injector Seals 16 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, My Fusion 1.4 TDCi has developed a metallic "ticking" sound on startup, it disappears when the engine is warmed up. My local Ford dealer reckons this is the Diesel Injector Seals that are probably starting to melt, and this appears to be a notable problem with the TDCi units. The Ford

  I own a 1999 Ford Focus (petrol engine) which has covered 80k miles. I feel that I need advice on how to tell if the noise I think I can hear coming from somewhere from the car is due to a coolant pump, alternator or power steering pump problem e.g. worn bearings. What sort of noise would this make

  My 2.0litre 115bhp TDCi only returns approx 40 mpg. I am told it should be more and the local Ford garage has not been able to improve it. It regularly soots up the EGR valve and has had a replacement ECU with several attempts at ECU firmware upgrades. It also suffers the 1700rpm flatspot. Has

  Out of the blue, my fiesta started to missfire. Shortly afterwards the engine light began flashing and the speed limitor kicked in. Fortunately I wasn't far from home but I'm now without a car. Some time ago something similar occurred, then it was a leaking core plug. As expected Ford took my
