Focus MK2 facelift 1.6 Major Service Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- Since I bought this car with no service history, it would be wise to create the history myself by doing a major service.
In part 1, I'll be looking at the condition of the usual service items and replace them. Things like the air filter, spark plugs and pollen filter (or if you prefer to call it, cabin filter) are covered in this video.
My car is a Zetec version but might apply to Studio, Ghia, Titanium or RS. However, the spark plugs and the air filter in particular are for the petrol versions.

I had recently been to the Ford Delaer and bought a set of spark plugs for the same car.
and guess what, I get spark plugs that say Bosch Hr7mev instead of Hr8mev.
so I had called them, and they told me that the Hr7mev is the replacement for the Hr8mev. The difference is that the Hr7mev is 1 step colder and has an electrode distance of 1.2mm instead of 1.3mm. The car runs excellent no problems so far with the new plugs.
Thanks, that’s good to know
Removing the big cable connectors in the fuse box helps with access to the pollen filter - they are blue, orange and green with quick connectors. Good video!
Thank you, yes, that helps indeed. Shame we still have to bend over backwards a bit for it 😂
Loving your channel. The car is in lovely condition. Looks like it was recently serviced. The air filter is in good condition.
Yes the pollen filter on the focus is ridiculous . I have a Volvo C30 which is basically a focus and it took me ages to work out how to change it , it’s a joke no wonder it had never been replaced before !
Its also very important to watch the air flow ...
yep
It's even worse on the left hand drive because you need to remove the gas pedal. I have a left hand drive one and doing it for years it become pretty easy bit still a pain in the arse
i can imagine. terrible design
Hi, when you use a torque wrench, don't pull it anymore after clicking like in the movie, it has to be smooth movement, click and stop. Otherwise, 20Nm goes outside the window and you can break the thread in the head. regards
Thanks, that’s a good point. Luckily I didn’t go too far
@@GentilsGarage 👍
Once you get the the bracket with the two 13mm nuts and the brackets out the way the pollen filter is a lot easier to remove and re fit it's a bit awkward but not that bad
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.
Inside the air box is the pcv valve filter ( tiny)
It is a pain that polen filter. Many car manufacturers never make things easy for the DIY owner.. its getting a lot worse in never vehicles... I've noticed in car breakers a few mk 3 focuses that are less than 10 years old but I believe those 3 pot engines don't do them any justice.
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.
8:26 What is the oil-covered sponge you found under the air filter? Mine has this too but the sponge is much more disintegrated.
Just a filter for the oil breather.
Hi Gentil, could you give me some advise? I have exact the same car and my ventilation only works if the re-circulation is turned on. When I set the fan to get the air from outside it does not blow. Cabin filtre was changed and not fixed. I guess the flaps are stuck. The ford dealer told me that whole dashbord should be de-assembled. Do you know an easier way to do that?
And secondly, my fuel pump needs to be replaced and Ford dealer ordered one but they have been waiting me for one month. Does it really take that long to get an OEM fuel pump? If not which brand do you use and how much would that part cost?
Thank you!
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.
Excelente!
Γειά σας, είμαι από ελλάδα και έχω ένα ford focus mk1.5 1.6 16v 100hp του 2003. Έχω αλλάξει τα μπουζί μου με μπουζί της ford 1493001 HR8MEV (made in russia) με το χάλκινο καπάκι που ξεβιδώνει από πάνω. Θέλω να ρωτήσω αν είναι αξιόπιστα μπουζί, πόσα χιλιόμετρα πρέπει να τα κρατήσω και αν είναι καλής κατασκευής. τα άλλαξα χθες. Αυτά μου έδωσε ο υπάλληλος στο κατάστημα και μου ειπε ό,τι είναι γνήσια. Παρακαλώ απαντήστε μου και ευχαριστώ.
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.
These engines doesnt like Ngk's
They run great on Champion copper spark plugs, or Bosch oem.
Good to know.
i have a car just like your car. what does Box Filter Element part number 1694449 do ?
Haven’t found out yet, but very likely to be an oil breather filter
Pollen filter looks a horrible job. Guessing that's why never changed. Not looking forward to doing mine
yes, its a real pain. glad its only done every few years!
It's worth bearing in mind that the original ford pollen filter is lacesd with what appears to be charcoal so looks dirty even when new .I speak with experience..
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.
I have a service to do this weekend I hate ford and after watching your video am not looking forward to the polen filter . Absolutely stupid crazy mad idea. Garage probably said they changed it at some point but who would know . Think you should have put a proper one in while you had gone through all that hard work . Anyway rant over thanks for the heads up and fingers crossed for the weekend.
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!
Good series of videos. How much was your cam belt change?
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
Mine was moulded haha
Nice haha
Hello
Is this the 100bhp version or the 114bhp one?
Thanks
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
What type of spark plugs have you used? I need to change on mine as well
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
I watched through the video and at the end I noticed the awful sound of the engine. SHDA I suppose. Am I right?
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.
20Nm+30 :))))))
👍
Are u also adultingbritan ?
