Increased oil consumption concerns not only worn, but also relative to new motors. This phenomenon can be associated with different technical problems. The owners of Ford Focus were repeatedly addressed to the C-Auto technical center, which had to top up 1 liter of oil every 1000 km. A lot of complaints on the 1.8-liter duratorq series motor. When it is defecting, various problems are detected:
- Local oil rings (complemented by high compression).
- Wear oil-challenged caps.
- Leaks.
If the increased oil consumption is accompanied by the SIZY smoke from the exhaust when the motor is started into the cold, contact the service center immediately. As practice shows, this indicates critical wear, which is fraught with overhaul. Thanks to the timely diagnosis, the "C-Auto" technical center can significantly reduce costs.
10 reasons for increased oil consumption on Ford Focus
1. Fit contaminated air to the combustion chamber
Dirty air is seeping into the system through leakage hoses and seals. A similar situation occurs when the air filter is untimely replacing. Dust in the combustion chamber leads to increased friction, accelerated wear of work surfaces, pistons and piston rings. As a result, oil consumption increases.
2. Worn valve glands and guide sleeves
Through the rubber seals that have fallen elasticity, the oil flows into the combustion chamber. Therefore, when repairing them should be changed.
3. Incorrect work of high pressure fuel pump
According to statistics, every fourth case of an increased oil consumption is associated with the wear of the TNVD. An inline pump is lubricated with engine oil, but with wear, it, together with the diesel, falls into the combustion chambers. Test stands use test stands.
4. Cartrenic gases
Gases, which are minus piston rings fall into the crankcase and increase the pressure. Valve rods are exposed to high load. In the intake and release system, oil seeps, and its level in the system is gradually falling. A similar problem occurs when the exhaust valve is malfunction on the crankcase.
5. The combustion mode is broken
The walls of the combustion chamber are covered by the residues of unburned fuel, which dissolve the oil film. Due to semi-dry friction, the CPG is wear. Unburned fuel partially enters the Carter, where turns into condensate, mixing with oil. Subsequently, the viscosity of the oil is reduced, black sludge is formed, which scores oil channels.
6. After low-quality repair, cylinders
If the cylinder is seeded, piston rings cannot provide proper sealing. The oil passes the oil slimming rings, falling into the combustion chamber. This is accompanied by an increase in gas pressure in the motor crankcase.
7. Improper Treatment of Cylinders
If the honing is carried out with violations, an oil film will not be formed between the cylinder wall and the piston ring. Despite the thickness of only 3 microns, it prevents the direct contact of the ring with working surfaces. When there are no films, the direct contact of the cylinder and the piston ring occurs, the operating temperature rises.
8. breakage, wrong installation of piston rings
Piston rings seal the combustion chamber in relation to Carter. In case of violations in the installation, the oil, located on the walls of the cylinders, seeps into the combustion chamber. Gradually, the level of lubricant is dropped, critical WHC wear occurs.
9. Finding foreign bodies for seals
Seal on which the foreign object donkey is broken. A blockage of structural elements is possible or a drop in the specific pressure in a flat seal. Therefore, with the major overhaul of the motor in the "C-car" before assembling, all the details, in particular the GBC, the valve cover, the crankcase, are thoroughly cleaned.
10. High oil pressure in the system
Seals do not withstand overly high pressure lubricants. Its reasons are in contamination of oil tubes, filters or bypass valve, defective oil and reduction valves.
How is the problem of an increased cost of oil Ford Focus in "C-Auto"?
It all starts with integrated engine diagnostics. Moreover, each of the line of motors has characteristic disadvantages and its service regulations. For example, an oil in a 1.8-liter internal combustion engine oil on the Ford Focus of the second generation according to the factory regulation is changing more often - every 10 thousand km. Sometimes the indirect causes of increased oil consumption are detected: the engine is wear out due to the scored catalyst. The masters of "C-Auto" have already made it possible to eliminate typical faults that led to an intense oil jaor:
- A lesible gasket of the GBC (the defect is caused by a tightening torque violation, irregularities on the plane of the fit of the block to the head; the decision on the repair is taken in accordance with the nature of the malfunction).
- The leakage of oilmaging caps that are subject to replacement.
- The use of low-grade oil or lubricant, which in terms of viscosity does not comply with the prescriptions of the manufacturer.
- Losses on lubricating bearings in the turbine, which is eliminated by replacing or repairing a turbocharger.
Later, the combustion of the fuel-air mixture, which is caused by refueling with a low octane indicator.
I changed the engine block recently on September 16 under warranty.
1. A serviceable Ford engine does not help the oil.
2. The opinion of the servicemen that 500g / 1000km is the norm, this is the bike they explain everyone, because If the flow rate is less than 500g to detect the cause of the consumption of them - the servicemen is difficult.
3. When the oil is on (more than 500g / 1000km), it is necessary to change it more often, the topping of fresh oil will not update that bodhaga that is formed in a faulty engine.
4. If you apply high-class synthetics, it will also burn.
The algorithm of the service, (or as I did):
1. The oil engine fed from Novya to 500g / 1000km,
2. After passing through-2 when the consumption has already reached 1l / 1000km, while I had a suspicion of the second cylinder. I tash the car with that, I turned to the warranty man with a present.
3. The warranty, prescribed me to come to the service after 3 weeks, to seal the engine.
4. I arrived, all the oil was merged, the oil was poured, sealed, wrote the receipt in the fact that they had given such work, prescribed the date of arrival.
5. I arrived in service on June 16, 2008, driving after sealing approximately 1400km.
In my presence!!! Alloled all the oil, made sure that the flow rate is more than 1 l / 1000km. Written receipt, left the car in the service.
Caution from the service workers was a proposal not to drain the oil to clarify it, and add a new one to the label Mach. Be careful, it is unacceptable, because The result may not be in your favor.
6. Then wait for 2 weeks (preparation and sending materials on the fact A FMK), then the engine disassembly in my presence. Be sure to display in the results of the autopsy, the warranty person makes the photo report. A month after July 15, I confirmed me that the case was recognized as warranty. Two more months, my car was repaired ....
They would have been repaired more if I myself did not find the gasket at the cost of 330 rubles, which, according to them, there is no one in Moscow, bought, brought, gave, took the car on September 16, 2008.
7. Then I had two trips to the traffic police, when making an account certificate to the block, managed to arrange it with errors.
Now I drive a car, which does not yet have a filling of oil, but a crunch appeared in the right shrus and the leak of the checkpoint was found.
Servicemen, from you will require a written explanation, how often you check the oil level, which oil is used as an attraction.
In order not to block firewood (do not write too much), I recommend carefully examine the instruction manual, in the Oil section (one page). Writing concise.
What was in my engine?
The occurrence of the oilmaging ring in the second cylinder, indirectly on this malfunction showed an ignition candle (coke on the side electrode and carving oil)
There will be questions - ask.
When going to buy a car, a person must understand that at this moment its expenses will not end. Any vehicle requires constant investments. These are repairs, preventive work, acquisition of the desired volume of fuel. The majority know about it, but forget about the friend - a large oil consumption observed by car will also lead to additional, very significant costs. Which, moreover, sign that the vehicle is not in perfect condition.
Especially when it comes to not new cars or those who are exploited by the car owner for a long time. For example, a person decided to acquire Ford Focus 2. Is it worth paying attention to the consumption of engine oil? This can be found about this by reading our material.
How many oil must consume Ford Focus 2
Indeed, a very interesting question that many car owners put in a dead end. The fact is that, for example, information on the official voraciousness of a power unit, in terms of fuel, it is enough simple - it is indicated in numerous sources. But what should be the oil consumption for Ford Focus 2, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0?
With this question is more complicated. One motorist shared a story about the fact that his employees of one hundred stated that it is permissible to spend 500 grams per 1000 km. Say, for our country is normal. He asked them to provide evidence by providing any official documents, but experts only divided their hands.
In another place, they declare that already excess of the norm in 200-300 grams at the same distance indicates the presence of any problems. But, again, confirmation from the words was not found in official sources.
The reason for the lack of such a banal information is in the perfect condition of the car the oil, fill in the engine of the machine, should maintain its original volume almost completely - until the time when it comes to replace it!
Why is the overrun - is it a serious problem?
First, it suggests that some elements of the vehicle are in a faulty or very worn condition. Yes, the car is still exploited, but there is a high probability that in the near future some important node may fail. Therefore, repair work will be required, which will apply additional damage to the owner of the car.
Secondly, do not forget about the economic component. Even if nothing breaks should be remembered that 1 liter of this product costs, about how ten liters of fuel. And now you can take and calculate how much additionally you have to spend, say, monthly, with a sufficiently high level of car use intensity. Not such a small amount of money will come out, which, in another situation, one could spend completely differently.
Reviews of people operating Ford Focus 2
Ford Focus 2 - the second generation of a compact car, which enjoys great popularity, primarily in Europe and in our country. This generation was produced from 2004 to 2011, and in 2008 she experienced significant restyling. Therefore, now it is impossible to find a completely new focus 2, given the fact that today the manufacturer is engaged in the production of the third generation.
This model was at one time offered with the following line of power units:
- Volume - 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 liters;
- Three types - Duratec, Zetec, Split Port;
- Of the three options, the latter in our country is almost impossible to meet, as it was intended only for the American market.
There are also options equipped with diesel engines, but again, they did not come to our country - the manufacturer preferred to sell such cars in Western Europe, so we will meet with reviews of people who are talking about oil consumption specifically for gasoline facilities:
Power unit for 1.6 l
This option was available in two versions - 100 and 115 horsepower, although actually constituted the same power unit, only somewhat modified by Ti-VCT. How many oils usually consume such a car? We learn from car enthusiasts:
- Oleg, Moscow. I have this option. Mileage - 130,000 km. Engine power - 115 horses. Bulk semi-synthetic shell (10 * 40). It is practically not waste - takes a maximum of 100 grams of ten thousand km.
- Semen, St. Petersburg. Already rolled 90,000 km. Bulk Castrol Magnatec 5W30. During the operation, there were no problems at all - the level is always in one place.
- Vladimir, Samara. Mileage is already 140,000. I drive quite actively. Gearbox - mechanics. I use Castrol 5W30 A5 motor. There is practically no overpower. Maximum 200-300 grams by 10 thousand.
- Ignat. Rostov. Of course, I have no 1 liter per 1000 km, but two or three thousand told the same. He told a familiar, said that this is a problem. I drove to him on the weekend. We decided to find the cause of recalculation. It turned out that the problem was in the absence of high-quality tightness of the supply hoses, through which dust began to flow into the combustion chamber. Corrected, everyone cleaned, the flow rate immediately disappeared.
- Peter. Kostroma. After 50 thousand runs began to notice that the oil begins to go out in significant quantities. First used the 5W30 formula, then tried Lukoil Armortech Genesis 5W30. The situation has not changed. The reason for this problem was the air filter, about which I somehow forgot, he stopped cope with his task, and a dirty air began to enter the engine. As specially told, it led to the wear of the details, which began to leave more oil.
- Andrei, Petrozavodsk. I also do not have any problems with this indicator. Mileage of my baby - 205 t.km. I fill only Ford Formula 5W30. I change every ten thousand kilometers, the volume remains about the same. Well, can a little less.
- Roman, Tyumen. Motat on the speedometer almost 130,000 km. He began to notice that the maslice began to leave. Used first ComMA 5-40, switched to XADO 5-40. All the same - until the half-liter leaves 1000 km. Began to understand. It turned out that the problem in the valve glands. They began to pass through themselves oil. Replaced, everything immediately changed for the better.
Most of the cars with this power unit already exploit quite a long time. Therefore, it is not surprising that the overrun is observed from those car owners who are not very closely followed by the state of some elements of their "iron horse".
Motor at 1.8 liters volume
In this embodiment, the manufacturer used sixteen valve duratec-he, which is considered a very reliable and durable power unit. As for oil consumption, the owners of this option report:
- Natalia, Sochi. Gave a husband. I'm not climbing into the car. Rides and rides. But the beloved went on vacation and decided to check everything. As a result, he said that with a relatively small run (115,000 on the speedometer), eats my machine almost liter of oil for each 1000 km. Lots of! I was always filled with Liqui Moly for a hundred. Maybe there is a reason in it? Says no. I decided to dig, his time was just. It turned out that the cause of the problem is the wear of the fuel pump. It turns out to be lubricated with oil, but the lubricant began to go straight into the combustion chamber, together with flammable. Replaced, now tests.
- Fedor, Moscow. My Ford has 240 thousand mileage. I use Lukoil Armotek. I noticed that when replacing, it is necessary to additionally add about two liters. That is, this volume is buried every dozen. Enough. I decided to figure it out. Changed air filter. It seems to edit the situation. Of course, additionally had to clean the engine, but it was worth it.
- Boris, St. Petersburg. I took when there were 115,000 mileage on the speedometer. At first, I used Lukoil Genesis Armortech 5W-30 - the first fifteen thousand, then switched to Ford Formula 5W30 - wound another twenty. I do not observe overspending - 200 grams per 10,000, I think that is normal.
- Vladislav, Perm. I have a mechanic, chasing enough strongly. While the truth is wincise only 170,000. I fill the Fords formula. When replacing the oil, noticed that 10,000 leaves about three liters. One hundred says that 300 grams per thousand, it is a type of norm. I did not believe, I decided to dig himself. I discovered a number of places where it tritely flows through the seals. Changed, the flow rate was immediately disappeared. That's so!
- Matvey, Tula. Recently, only changed seals. Wound 250,000 km on Rymax Orfeus 5W30. Still flow. The very experience of grabs in this matter, but they understand that they are not just like that - five hundred grams per 1000 km of oil leaves! I went to familiar masters. The cause of the problem was oil tubes that clogged. As a result, in the system an increased pressure and seals were created, even new ones, could not cope with it. Cleaned - everything is OK!
- Marina, Eagle. I have a husband for the vehicle. Constantly something looks there, checks, changes. Therefore, there are no problems with overpowering oil at all. Jun as almost a hundred thousand. Every ten thousand per hundred poured formula 5W30. It is said that the initial volume remains completely!
- Konstantin, Kursk. On the speedometer - 175,000 km. Bulk constantly Lukoil Genesis 5W30. I noticed that at elevated turns takes up to 100 grams per 1000 km. If you go calmly, this is not observed. It is said that it is necessary to clean the entire engine, such as lubricant does not cope with elevated loads. But first - check the entire system for tightness, change the air filter. I will do in the near future.
The situation is similar. The model is not new, most of the people have already wound enough. Naturally, some elements lose their original quality. This leads to a similar problem.
Double-liter engine
For the second generation of focus, the manufacturer decided to change the previously used Zetec-E motor on the Duratec-He, which showed the best performance indicators, efficiency and durability. Naturally, in the perfect state of all systems, it should not overcome oils. What is the case in fact:
- Anton, Volgograd. I go extremely rare. After purchasing Ford Focus 2, there was only 75,000 in the cabin. I fill from the very beginning only Castrol 5W30. Before planned, I add a maximum of 140-150 grams. This is 10,000. That is, I think everything is normal with this indicator.
- Denis, Kislovodsk. Rounded 175,000. The first time was used by the formula 5W-30, after 130 thousand switched to the same brand, but on 5W-40. It does not even leave even a dozen grams! Just need to follow the machine and everything will be fine.
- Egor, Moscow. Mileage - 250,000. Poured Motul 5W-30 913D. It was all fine. Made a kapitalka engine. I noticed that a serious overrun began - to a liter for every 10,000. I decided to figure out what the reason was. I went to another one hundred, asked to double-check all the work done. It turned out that the previous craftsmen were incorrectly set up cylinders, they set them so that they were somewhat in the overwhelmed state. As a result, the oil-chain rings do not interfere with the oil get into the combustion chamber, which has become the cause of its overrun.
- Vladimir, Tula. I use the 5V40 formula. Hound 185,000. Plus the last owner is still almost a hundred. He began overrun after one, so let's say "specialist" incorrectly installed piston rings. As a result, oil began to lie down literally. Well, that I noticed and quickly all corrected good wizards. Otherwise, I would have to give money for the full repair of the engine, and this is already a completely different amount!
- Igor, Moscow. I read about overspending, I decided to check if myself. Moreover, it has already wound 250,000. I use Rymax ORFEUS 5W30. Measured. It turned out that each thousand kilometers eats about 140 grams. That is, a lot. Already visually determined that the leakage gives seals. Really developed your resource, and they are time to change.
- Olga, St. Petersburg. Winches 190,000. Of these, my only last 90. Initially used Motul Ford Specific 913D 5W-30, now - Lukoil Armortech Genesis 5W30. It takes about 300-400 grams for each tent of thousand km. In principle, normally, given that I really love driving on high speed.
- Yang, Kaliningrad. Machine for many years. Winches almost three hundred thousand kilometers. I had to make a overhaul. Unfortunately, he turned to not very good professionals. As a result, the honinging they did absolutely not qualitatively. I discovered this precisely because of the overseas of the Maslian. It trite did not create a protective film between cylinders and working surfaces! As a result, oil overruns and elevated temperature. I had to go, and force everything to redo.
It is very important to understand, acquiring Ford Focus 2 that all models available today are not new. Consequently, many components can already develop their own resource. And this is one of the causes of oil overwhelming. In addition, it is precisely an excessive consumption that can serve as a kind of signal that the car system is clearly not in perfect condition, there is an increased probability of a serious breakage, therefore the cause of recalculation should be quickly signed.
