Focus MK2 facelift 1.6 Major Service Part 1 

Thanks, that’s good to know

Thank you, yes, that helps indeed. Shame we still have to bend over backwards a bit for it 😂

yep

Yes, once that’s out of the way, it’s fine. It’s getting there first that it’s a pain, but thankfully it’s not a job that needs to be done often.

@@GentilsGarage mine was the same seems when new and under warranty it seem to get overlooked on the major service

@@stephenport4768 I agree, I think mine was the same.

Thanks, that’s a good point. Luckily I didn’t go too far

@@GentilsGarage 👍

i can imagine. terrible design

Thank you. The cambelt change, which also included water pump and coolant was £240 inc vat in a garage near Worthing, West Sussex.

@@GentilsGarage that’s Not not worth doing at that price. Thanks for the reply.

@@katyg3873 Most places charge £300 upwards. They should be replaced every 10 years or under 100k miles. If your car never had it done, then you risk engine failure. Better safe than sorry

Brian Fearn absolutely. My wife has a mk3 Ecoboost and I'm keeping an eye on it every week, but the fear of engine failure is still there. It's a shame and from I read from a few groups, the exoboost is still causing problem, to some recent cars. The mk3 is a lovely car to drive though and more refined than the mk2.

Just a filter for the oil breather.

Hi. I haven’t touched the ventilation system, but because the pólen filter is such a pain to replace, I assume that the servo motors that operate the flaps might be hard to access. Other solution is trying removing the radio, glove box and centre console, but I simply don’t know where the flap motors are located. Regarding the fuel pump, it’s a strange one but it’s not the first time that I ordered a part and it took a long time to be received by the dealer. However, I would try and chase them asking why is it taking so long. A non ford branded pump can cost around £100, but I haven’t replaced one yet, so I don’t know which one I should recommend, except from a reputable brand.

@@GentilsGarage Thank you very much for your ideas! I might stick with Bosch in that case if they fail to bring it.

Yes, a pig of a job, but because I wanted to do a full clean of the ducts using an “aircon bomb” I had to use a cheap one start with. Every time a “aircon bomb” is used the filter has to be replaced. Good luck with the job!

Haven’t found out yet, but very likely to be an oil breather filter

I know, it’s the same type I had in previous cars, but this one was the dirtiest I’ve ever seen in a car and this is my 25th. I’ve put a non-charcoal filter for now as the plan is to recharge the aircon and use an “aircon bomb”, to finish off, which would require a cabin filter replacement, so there was no point going for a charcoal activated one yet.

They are Bosch, but unfortunately I can’t remember the part number, but it says on the video.

@@GentilsGarage I just checked the video. Bosch HR8MCV+. As far as I saw from it you removed the original ones with the same text only labeled FOMOCO. So does this means originals are just rebranded Bosch HR8MCV+? Are you satisfied with the quality and the performance of the Bosch HR8MCV+ after you changed them?

@@boyantomovski6613 Yes. Basically, car manufacturers don’t make things like spark plugs and other components themselves. They have other companies to do that for them and they just stamp the car brand on them. In this case, the spark plugs for the Focus are made by Bosch. Exactly the same thing.

@@GentilsGarage Strange original instruction says 15 NM and Bosch states 20 NM. I don't know which is more correct.

@@boyantomovski6613 no, I say 20nm (Newton metre) or 15 feet (lb or pound per feet). Always follow what the pack says

100

@@GentilsGarage Thankyou

114 is the TI engine. The plastic intake manifold at the front is a different shape and it has 2x solenoids on the left hand side, right beside the cam cover. Easy things to spot to tell the difference

Nice haha

Θα πρέπει να είναι καλά για 60.000 μίλια (90.000 χιλιόμετρα) ή περισσότερα, έτσι θα είστε εντάξει με αυτά τα βύσματα. Η διάρκεια ζωής των βυσμάτων εξαρτάται από πολλούς παράγοντες, επομένως απλώς ελέγχετε τα κάθε 15 χιλιάδες μίλια.

@@GentilsGarage Είναι απλά μπουζί νικελίου made in russia με κόστος 3€ το ένα

πρίν είχα μπουζί denso TV16TT, θεωρώ ό,τι ήταν καλύτερης κατασκευής και ποιότητας

@@imalexandros3150 πρέπει να κάνουν τη δουλειά καθώς το tfe 1.6 δεν είναι σπορ κινητήρας, το sonit θα πρέπει να είναι εντάξει. Χρησιμοποίησα τη Bosch, αλλά θα χρησιμοποιούσα ευχαρίστως τα Denso, NGK ή Beru.

yes, its a real pain. glad its only done every few years!

Good to know.

👍

@@luketaylor4296 no, that’s not me.

SHDA?

@@GentilsGarage An engine code. There are in fact two types of the petrol 1.6 litre engine: HWDA and SHDA. The latter one suffers from piston mounting issues due to oil flow problems. Which eventually causes the knocking sound I've heard in your video.

I need to check which one is. Due to the quality of the microphone, it sounds worse than it is. When the engine is nice and warm, it is quiet.
