A useful video for any mk1 focus owner/future owner to refer to. Fantastic video highlighting the things to keep on top of. Agreed the mk1 focus needs to be highlighted as a modern classic 😁👍
163.000km on the clock in the Netherlands as well, no major issues but I would need a clutch, brake rotors/pads, some wheel bearing and a couple of other small stuff - have the car for a year+ now but it's good to take me from home/work and back
Good info, here in the states, I own a 03 SE wagon, estate to you guys, 2.3 Duratec automatic with 255k miles yep lots of challenges but mostly original!
Brilliant and very helpful video. My sister has a 2004 1.8 Zetec on 115,000. She was considering getting rid because it has been problematic but now I’ve watched this video, I’m convinced at least 12 of these problems have already been rectified. So hopefully that’s the worst of the problems over and done with. So now she’s keeping her Focus and you’ve gained a subscriber. Cheers
Couldn't agree more. Same issues here, with my 1.8 Zetec. Thermostat housing (needed a new one), rocker cover gasket (new one, properly installed), PCV hose (new one, oil and heat resistant), IAC valve (new one), ignition coils and cables (new Bosch parts) What's more: dirty throttle body/throttle valve (poor idle), cleaned, runs like new. Engine/transmission mounts (interior vibrations) replaced Rear subframe/swing arm bolts and bushings (knocking noises) replaced
Engine mounts are definetly a newer issue as they age, the most common is the hydromount leaking its oil! I agree cleaning the throttle housing is a great job and inlet manifold as much as possible. The idle will be noticeably smoother.
@@usuallyfixingtinkering Exactly. Smooth idle, smooth acceleration. Btw, the No1. on the list is a pain in the @ss. That bloody plastic cover above the cab filter.. I use a strong silicone gasket (a special one, used in glass water tanks) every time. Heat, frost, UV rays, vibration? No problem, at all.
Useful guide for Mk1 owners, I have to say I didn’t come across much of those issues when I owned my three MK1s apart from the wheel bearing on one of them. On another note, spotted your tax disc which said £155 to tax in 2003, those where the days. Your Focus is gleaming too. 👍
thank you for this informative video i watched this and counted 5 problems that ive had on my various mk1's my current mk1 focus has had no welding underneath yet (its a 2004 1.6l zetec hatchback) currently just started to get a slight stiffness occasionally in the steering so i will be changing the steering fluid asap to see if that stops it also im getting oil in sparkplug wells and have already ordered a new rocker cover gasket. despite the mk1's faults i love it , its got lovely handling and my previous one saved my life when i had a crash in it both airbags deployed and i walked away with only a bit of whiplash anyway keep making the videos and i'll keep watching them !! . Adi in Somerset
Oh that sounds like a nice example you have there! Steering racks are now common to go and rocker cover gaskets are very easy to swap so no major issues there, the main thing is the bodywork condition which is the no.1 issue. Fingers crossed it remains solid for you :)
I may add some more things if I may. . On Tddi big problem is Bosch VP30 high pressure fuel pump electric part and when it will fail car will just cut out and that is question not if but when it will fail. Also Thermostat housing plastic is in tddi and they also start leak from old. And tddi maybe just mine but I have third starter failing (I was buying them used), Tddi is hard to turn over engine it needs 2.2kw starter. And one cheap way about blower motor is take it out (3 screws) take out cover of electric part, spray a lot with wd30 to free it up fully and then put little engine oil to lubricate it. I did mine 2 times lasting 4 years still and again starting make noise :)
is that the module that is coded to the ecu? that is a known failure on the diesels very good comment! I agree on all them points, the blower motor is a result of... pollen filter seal failure hence why it's the no.1
@@usuallyfixingtinkering So I ended up buying the car, it had the same issue about the power steering switch it looked like a “big oil mess” and that actually give me lots of leverage to get the price of the car down, the engine seemed fine, took to a mechanic and he confirmed it’s the power steering liquid leaking when turning the steering wheel too much to the left/right and the engine has no leaks, also the front wheels have some play, I noticed some vibrations from the steering wheel on the freeway at around 110~120km/h, it also need replacing. Some cosmetic issues also noticed it has different sizes wheels/tires and the front tires are rubbing against the wheel arches in corners, I will deal with that when the tires need replacement. Also had an engine light come up but the car drives fine and no loss of power, I will be trying to get a OBD scanner to see what it is about. Thanks for sharing your experience, I will definitely be a regular from now on, I’m loving the ST170.
In a nutshell congratulations! You will enjoy that car I'm pretty sure. What you've mentioned is nothing new and alien at all, Steering rack will need changing not a massive job as it's made to be! Tyres need changing and balancing and that will sort most of those issues out :)
I'm lucky mine has had one plate on the sill at the back and inner sill wat needs tidying up but no other welding to be done and the wheel archs the paint is just come off no leaking in the boot but I do need to give mine a good polish out as it's got light scratches and bit of paint come of the rear bumper and front wing I've got a perfect radio/cd with the original book with the code it's going on eBay soon as the air conditioning doesn't work I'm not bothered about I've got tick over now and then when warm ive got a temp senser coming and throttle body sensor but if that doesn't work i know now to change that to look at that other part and check that breather pipe as well my steering is a little notchy so I need to change power steering fuild so I will look at you video I've got the passage door don't all ways unlock on the key
Another issue I've had which I found very common was the speed sensor on the gearbox. My original went a few months back and after 2 aftermarket ones from Euro Car Parts it still didn't fix the idling issues and the cluster issues I was facing. After just saying sod it, I eventually bought a genuine one brand new from eBay for about £110 and had no issues since :)
The speed sensor is an issue on the manual models, me having an automatic I've forgotten! You were very good to buy a genuine one because most people opt for aftermarket which aren't bad tbh.
Hello. What Kind of issues did. you have? I also have a 03 model with manual gearbox and at idle the car vibrates or if I put it in neutral while still Rolling then the rpm is going up and down. Already changed the Plugs, wires, cleaned the idle valve.
Sorry if you see 2 replies from me I posted a reply and looks like it vanished.@@NSDflug if i was you check that breather hose shown in the video around 10:30 mark. I had a split in mine and the car seems to be running much better now with a new one. That could be causing idling issues with yours. Then after I'd take a look at the speed sensor because I did experience idling issues to a point it would cut out at traffic lights, the cluster would sometimes show ---- instead of showing my mileage. the mph needle would sometimes drop to 0 when i'm doing 20 then jump back up at random times. I also had a horrible pinging noise coming from the engine/gearbox but all of this went away with a new sensor. Definitely check that hose first as its cheaper and much easier to replace than the speed sensor :)
@@JoshuaEttery thanks for your answer. I forgot to write, But I also changed the pcv and the Hose, both OEM. I have the new OEM Sensor home but was Not sure if i should change it Now or not. Again, thanks for your reply ! Greetings !
Just found your channel and subscribed. Ive currently got a mk1 Focus Millennium which im gonna be putting up for sale. Its in very good condition for its age but requires a bit of tlc to bring back to its former glory. Its just passed its mot and could do with slight attention to the drivers front wing. The rest is very solid especially the underside. My main concern is someone buying it as a cheap runaround then disposing of when the mot runs out. Its well worth saving and i only wish i had the money to invest into it
You've come to the right place and I've seen your posts on the group! Its in amazing condition and it will hopefully go to a good home finger crossed :)
The PCV hoses on the Zetec also go, especially the one in the rear that goes into the intake manifold. The rear hose replacement from Ford USA later got heat resistant foil around them to prevent them from collapsing, not sure how much it helps in practice though
it could cause higher/unstable idle and also check if the PCV valve is clogged, because then it won't let through any gases and would increase emissions further. There are videos about this on YT. Gates EMH159 and EMH174 should be the correct hoses. I would try cleaning the valve or getting a good used one if it's bad (it should rattle consistently when you shake it).@@richpierce5933
Very informative and helpful video...liked and subscribed. I would like to ask you about the instrument cluster. Mine goes out completely when I turn the key, apart from the airbag and a couple of lights...door and oil, which then go out when I start the car. It is intermittent though. What do you think is the best way to solve it?
Welcome buddy! I'm afraid that's rather common the soldered curcuitboard goes wrong with age. It'll need to be sent off for repair at ECU testing. They'll have it back to you quickly for around £65 and it'll be like new.
I had a central locking issue by where all the doors would stop reacting, but I managed to recreate it by locking and unlocking too quickly. Managed to reset by individually unlocking and/or locking the doors and then unlocking the master on the drivers door certain way, and that would solve it. Not sure how that connects to yours or anyone else’s issues, might have just found a way to confuse it.
Water in the boot should have a special mention. We all have that. Can rust out the spare wheel well something chronic. I've taken out the liner as it kept getting soaking wet and mouldy and have stuffed rags into the sides. I've sealed around the vents but it didn't make a difference.
I've got a 1.6L LX. Petrol showing nearly 238000. It's 237920 exactly. One of my work colleagues seems to think it might have had a new engine at some stage in its nearly 20 years. I've had an updated coil pack from Ford. Had no issues since. But if it has had a new engine,how many miles had done since I bought it. I've done nearly 93000 miles since I've had it. Rust holes on the bottom of both front wings, and both rear doors bottoms. New wings from Ford are still available.
Hi Great vidio would you know were the a/c drain pipe is on a mk2 2007 as getting water in the d/s floor the heater is full of water and is coming out on the floor bower vent the water is not coolant thanks for any help. Jeff
It sounds like moisture off the air con pipes as the refrigerant passes through the system, but it seems excessive. I'd have an air con check to see if its at pressure personally.
Hiya mate, these videos are super helpful, just wondering if you can help me out with a little advice. I'm about to buy a 2010 mk2.5 thats done 8k miles only, it had an oil change 500 miles ago and never had a cam belt. Its been standing for 4/5 years, i want to look after it so what would you recommend i do first after the cam belt? thanks
A full service and a full brake service front and back, discs and pads and maybe new sliders with some re-greasing of them to make sure everything is working correctly!
@@usuallyfixingtinkering Hiya pal, thanks for getting back. I've only got money for the cam belt currently so thats getting done first. I have just received the car and noticed like a 3 inch hairline split in the paint below the door, is this anything i should be worried about? thanks again
might be a broken wire in the rubber conduit where the wires go from the body to the rear hatch., this has happened on mine causing my rear wiper to not work.
The Mk 2 focus would rust around the sill at the front after two years. Ford then fitted a plastic trim on the sill to solve the problem. But really the mk2 focus should have mud flaps as the rear sill where the rear door curves at the bottom chips from where all the stones hits it causing rust
@@usuallyfixingtinkering I have something breaking every other week. Lost 5th and reverse now. 1st is where third is and 5th is third gear.
