Hi all I was hoping that someone could help me with an issue my 61 plate Diesel Mk3 Focus 2.0 TDCI is having. I do roughly 500 miles per week and 99% of the time, I fill up at my local Tesco. Currently on 148k miles. I sit at 60mph with cruise control, but there have been times when I've needed to boot it for an extended period of time.
When filming that video, I noticed some smoke coming out of the right hand side of the engine cover near the right side of the engine so I stopped straight away and turned the engine off soon after. Also when travelling at speed (e.g 65mph), when putting my foot down relatively hard, the car will begin to accelerate and then start juddering
Members via FB. 7. Ford Model: focus 1.6tdci. UK/Ireland Location: Suffolk. Posted February 10, 2013. Hi. I have an 08 Focus 1.6tdci which decided to die on my Thursday morning. The problem which has developed is that the engine will completely shut down under acceleration. It first happened accelerating out of a 30mph zone.
We have heard of a few people complaining about some Focus 1.6 TDCI turbo problems. The 1.6 TDCI engine is also used in other vehicles including Volvo, Suzuki, Peugeot, Mini, and Ford. But one of the most commonly affected models is the Ford Focus that uses this engine.
