Okay. What is in return? I tried Kia Cerato 2. - Wheel Wheel Burner, a bunch of electronics in the cabin, a pon-color display and all that. But it goes like a barn on the wheels (with a gun, but I already have a handle to buy somehow, you get used to you easily and for a long time). In general, after the focus, I didn't like Cerato at all, I would take once again the same focus - but I stopped doing them with two-liter, and 1.5l with a turbine - nougunations, I did not want potential problems from the turbine. I went to the Ford salon, watching what is there ... I saw the "ecosport" with a dead 1.6l engine, but I decided to try it - all the same clearance, convenient, and the focus often clung to the lip all in a row ... I sat down, I drove - some kind of garbage. It goes so-so, the salon - as some kind of plastic trough, grazing plastic everywhere. Around all some kind of Fords' never, as if I did someone else. In general, refused ... And here, did not have time to get out of the "ecosport", they immediately offer me "CUGU". Cuga was slightly over the planned budget, but why not ride? Sel. And - here it is! This is my native focus! Everything is accustomed to hands and ass! Steering wheel, climate, automatic handle, radio - all native, Fords-focal. I drove - howl, infection - because Motiglo he has 1.6l with a turbine. But, fortunately, there is an old school version - 2.5l without any turbines. In the States, this engine produces 170 hp, but we have to put in tax, it is defined up to 150 hp. Cuga with it is sold with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. I went into myself a desire to climb in shit- and did not find it, it means I take. And took:)
In general, "Kuga" is a big "focus". Genuine, sewing and higher. To enlarged dimensions after the "focus" you get used to in a few hours, and the difference is not felt at all. It ruls almost the same way, the road keeps perfectly, to Keeo refers noticeably easier than "focus". In general, a very adequate replacement, despite the fact that the mass of the car is more than 300 kg, and the power is the same - 150 hp The torque is noticeably above - 230 nm against 202 nm, which is very felt during acceleration - in focus it is noticeably smoother and leisurely, although 100 km / h focus is gaining a few tenth of a second faster. But still, "Cuga" is not the car on which you want to drive, and for overtaking her engine is enough completely. But the road clearance in 197 mm is, of course, a much more interesting thing. Forget that "you can not" go there "- I am now walking anywhere and anywhere, without listening to the sinking of the heart - the bumper or not?
The path from the parking lot to the normal road passes in my horseradish rinted primer - just three hundred meters, but I didn't even come down there on the focus, because hell knows what depth will be the next puddle and I will not leave the bumper on this primer. I don't even look at the road on the road - I look at the direction :) And what is being done under the wheels, I do not care - go and go. With all, the suspension at the Kuga is less rigid than the focus, but not so much so that it creates problems during rebuilding or turning on the track. To fly the tram paths on the focus, I agreed only if it was very in a hurry or they were competently dotted into the asphalt, it's no longer anyone, if only they are not sticking to half the meter :)
Fuel consumption. It is expected that 2.5 l against 2 l The difference must not be in favor of 2.5 and it is. If you consider that Kug is also noticeably harmful, then it is suppressed. Now, after 4300 km run, the flow rate is 11l / 100km against 10l / 100 km on focus, when driving somewhere 50/50 Route / City with a minimum of traffic jams at the same time, I have a more relaxed ride - I rarely go faster 120 km / h, and on focus 140-160 km / h was far from uncommon, though not rule. If CUGU drive with such speeds, then the flow will go far for 15l, which would not want. But, in general, 120 km / h is a very comfortable speed for me, I spend everywhere, the engine turnover is about 2.3 thousand rpm, the sixth gear and everything is good :)
In general, what I want to say. Thanks to the use of a verified 2.5-liter engine and a conventional six-speed automatic transformer automatic transformer, the reliability of the car does not cause doubt. In the current economic conditions, this is not the last paragraph. The driving quality "Kuga" also does not cause complaints, although they drive from the traffic light - not the strongest side of it. As a car for everyday ride in the city and outside the city - option, no doubt, is excellent. The deformed engine did not significantly affect the dynamics of the car, but it allows you to save on taxes, which is definitely plus. Those who want to return to the former remote to the engine - can pour the firmware from the American version and get the desired 170 hp, and maybe more if the crazy hands of the Kulibins already as he should have come in it. I like "Cuga" and, I think, the following 4.5 years (at least) I drive out on it.
If you have questions - ask, I will be happy to answer.

Ford Focus Typical representative of small urban Class C cars. It is created on the basis of the Ford's C1 platform, it was also created by Mazda 3, Volvo S40, Ford C-Max, Ford Kuga. Ford Focus competes with Mitsubishi Lancer, Opel Astra, Toyota Corolla, Skoda Octavia, Chevrolet Cruze, Honda Civic, Renault Megane, VW Golf, Nissan Sentra, Subaru Impreza.
Ford Focus was equipped with various models of engines, among them both gasoline and diesel engines. The model range is significant from 1.4, 1.6 ecobist engines to 2.5 turbo engines with 300 hp Under the RS version. Consider the degree of reliability, resource, the rules of operation of such engines. This article, an overview of the engines, which were installed on the first generation of Ford Focus cars.
DURATEC 16V SIGMA (ZETEC-SE)
The Ford 1.4 Duratec 16V 80 HP engine was installed, for the most part, for small cars like a fiesta and fusion. However, the engine frankly loosely pulled even these small cars, not to mention larger models. Given the small working volume, the engine has a good practical resource. The timing belt is used in the GDM drive, while it is necessary to replace the rollers and belt in a timely manner.
Of the minuses, the engine neelasticity and low power are noted.
If the engine is gently and carefully operated, it serves to its owner reliably. Also, the engine is distinguished by good economy. What the engine flaws is swinging, the following are most common.
Sometimes there can be a thermostat, resulting in engine overheating, or opposite the problem with warming up to operating temperature. The engine can knock. There are no hydrocomathers, so periodic valve adjustments are required. Sometimes there are problems with the right pillow of the engine, as a result of which vibrations may occur. Occasionally, situations arise with engine troops, however, in general, the engine is quite worthy.
DURATEC 16V SIGMA engine
Machine Ford Focus Duratec 1.6 liters. I saw the light in 1998, since 2004 it was renamed it, and instead of ZETEC began to call DURATEC. Increased torque, and began to be150 nm, at the same time the engine was strangled under the ecological standard of Euro-4.
Owners celebrate high reliability and unpretentiousness of the engine. Therefore, the main disadvantage can be called unless low power. Requires the timely replacement of rollers and the timing belt, in order to avoid problems.
In rare cases, the engine troops, vibrations, knocks and overheating are noted.
The rest of the engine is pretty good and reliable. There is a motor variation in the market, with a Ti-VCT timing phase control system of Ti-VCT 1.6 liters.
DURATEC TI-VCT 16V SIGMA engine
Power unit 1.6 DURATEC TI VCT Unlike 1.6 100 hp It has a system of changing the phases of gas distribution, intake manifold, piston groove. Zetec SE is released since 1995, Yamaha engineers took part in the engine development. The engine has a good practical resource.
In the TRG drive, a belt is used that requires timely replacement. In addition, sometimes complain about the clutch of the GRM mechanism. There are no hydrocompensators, for this reason it is necessary to periodic valve adjustments. The engine can knock and noise. In some cases, the engine overheating is noted. The rest of the engine is quite reliable.
DURATEC-HE / MZR L8 engine
Machine Ford Duratec He 1.8 l. 125 hp, also known as Mazda MZR L8, this is the development of the ideas of the series of "F" engines from Mazda. Initially, it was used on Mondeo, then upgraded by adding an intake manifold channel control system, a direct ignition system from ignition coils, an electronic throttle and a number of other changes. In the presence of the timing chain drive.
However, there are weaknesses. Can float turns. In this case, it is necessary to rinse the throttle or change the firmware. There are faults characteristic of all Duratec / Duratec He, the engine can trit, vibrate, knock and noise. Together, this led to the fact that among Dureteks, it is this power unit that is considered the most problematic.
DURATEC HE 2.0 / MZR LF engine
Machine Ford Duratec He 2.0 l. 145 hp Structurally is the same 1.8 L, with an increased diameter of cylinders. The engine is elastic, has a good power. Relinted the lack of their predecessors - floating turns. The TRG drive uses a chain with a good resource.
If we talk about the laptops of the engine, then you can mark the rapid wear of the camshaft.
In addition, there are problems with a thermostat, and as a result of overheating, or on the contrary, the difficulty of warming up to operating temperatures. It requires control of the condition of the candle wells, if there are oils in them, you will need to tighten the valve cover or change the gasket. There are situations when, when you reach 3000 rpm, the car does not go and burn Check Engine, in this case it is necessary to change the valves of the intake manifold dampers. The hydrocomathers are missing, which means that periodic valve adjustment is required.
Ford Focus-2 is a very popular car in Russia, it was produced from 2004 to 2011. Various types of power units were installed on the machines, different in the volume of cylinders, type and power.
Engines on Ford Focus-2 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 are characterized by high reliability, but they have characteristic breakdowns. This article will consider the strengths and weaknesses of the Fords engine, design features, and will also affect the question, with which frequency it is necessary to carry out maintenance, which details are subject to replacement during that.
Reliability of Engines Ford
Three-generation tricks are installed on the Ford Fox 2nd cars:
- DURATEC;
- Zetec;
- Split Port.
The distinction between these types of engines is as follows:
- all ticky engines are equipped with a belt drive of the gas distribution mechanism;
- duretek engines have a chain transmission;
- power units split port are designed specifically for the American market.
DURATEC motors are quite reliable, on average, the mileage of the engine to overhaul is 350 thousand kilometers. ZETEC engines from 1992, there is also a Zetec-SE series. Zetak engines are mostly trouble-free, on average their resource is 300-350 thousand km.
The most "capricious" are SPLIT PORT motors, the most common disease of these aggregates is the loss of the saddle from under the valve in the block head. With such a defect, the saddle cries the valve and split over all the cylinders, as a result, the pistons and sleeves come into disrepair. 
Whatever reliable motor is, with time, its details wear out, and in some cases it costs to install another motor than to repair it. New DVS to buy expensive, so many Ford Focus-2 car owners put on their cars contracts.
Buy the engine on Ford Focus-2 1.8 or 2.0 l with a relatively low mileage and a guarantee on average can be in 45-55 thousand rubles, contracting engines are removed from cars that have not been exploited in Russia. Engines have a small mileage, tested, on any power unit a package of documents is issued. Motors Split port are somewhat more expensive, the average price of the engine is 65-70 thousand rubles.
Inexpensive You can buy an engine for Ford Focus 2 1.6 L Zetec - a contract motor under the order will be brought for 40-45 thousand rubles, in some companies, power units are available. Replacing the engine is beneficial in the case when the repair of the engine has to spend a lot of money, or the old block of cylinders is not subject to recovery, and it has to be changed.
Duratec engines
The DURATEC series gasoline engines are manufactured by Ford since 1993. Motors are four- and six-cylinders, the Ford Focus-2 car is installed in DVS 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 2.5 liters. The most common types of engines - volumes from 1.6 to 2.0 liters, hydrocomathers on the engine are not provided, the valves are adjusted by the selection of the thickness of the washers located in the pushers between the camshaft and the valve itself.
The 16-valve duratec is a four-cylinder, an inline engine with a fuel system of distributed injection, with a timing chain, the plant is installed 250 thousand km, but in practice the motor runs longer. Also this power unit is equipped with Ford cars:
- C-MAX;
- Puma;
- Focus-1;
- Fiesta 4th and 5th generation;
- FUSION;
The engine is still installed on Mazda 2, Volvo C30 and S40. The biggest drawback of DURATEC 1.6 is low power, especially this is significantly in the configuration with automatic transmission and air conditioning. 
Motors DURATEC HE 2.0 and 1.8 are very similar in its design, they differ only in the diameters of cylinders and pistons. Two-liter DVS is a more advantageous option compared to 1.8 - with almost the same fuel consumption, the "double-liter" is more powerful and works quieter. The resource of the manufacturer declared 300 thousand km, but the motors in some cases run to half a million kilometers.
Valve on the internal combustion engine of Duratek series should be adjusted after 150 tons. Km, the resource of the timing chain is over 200 tons. Km Engine oil changes after 10-15 thousand, air filter - after 15 tons of mileage.
Motors of Torture Ford Focus-2
Motors Zetec on the Ford Focus-2 car are equipped with a timing belt, three volume engines are present in the line of power units:
- 1598 cm³ (1.6);
- 1796 cm³ (1.8);
- 1989 cm³ (2.0).
All DVS 16-valve, with two camshafts (top location in the GBC). On the engines of yokes can be both hydraulic components and adjusting washers - on the Zetec-SE series, the hydraulic pushers have come from 2001, before that the need for valve adjustment was necessary.
The valve knock on the motor veins can be heard infrequently, the valve adjustment is required after 120-150 thousand mileage. The work itself is complicated, and without sufficient experience, adjust the valve to Ford Focus-2 is not recommended. 
GBC and Cylinder Cylinders ZETEC-SE Cylinders are cast from aluminum alloy, all four-cylinder engines, in each combustion chamber are located 4 valves. The timing belt leads to motion not only the camshafts, but also a water pump, so when replacing the parts of the gas distribution mechanism, it is recommended to change and pump. Motor 1.6 ZETEC is characterized by a relatively low fuel consumption, combined combustion consumption is about 7-8 l / 100 km. The intake manifold from the engine is made of plastic, oil tray - from aluminum.
The timing belt by many car owners is recommended to change the range of 60 thousand km, although the factory regulations need to be carried out after 150 tons. Km. Here you can and be reinsured - when the strap is cutting the flap of the valve. The replacement of engine oil and air filter is performed in standard mode, as well as for turkey engines. Power unit 1.6 is quite reliable, the only serious minus it is its insufficient power. Another fuel consumption with a motor vehicle is not the smallest - in the city it can reach 10-11 liters on the "honeycomb".
The ZETEC 1.8 engine is not considered too reliable, however, all the problems he does not have so significant:
- the outflow of the thermostat;
- leakage of the front oscillation of the crankshaft;
- unstable work at idle.
But in general, the aggregate is not bad - the oil does not spend a lot, the crankshaft "kill" is not so simple. 
Many years have one constructive feature - the crankshaft gear is not recorded with a key, is a "floating". Therefore, when replacing the timing belt to this fact, you should pay special attention to this fact - if you pretend to be loosened to / shaft, the marks on the shafts will be bought, the gas distribution phases will change. As a result, the engine will stop working normally, and can bent valve.
Split engines port
The SPLIT PORT engine of 2.0 liters was originally installed on the Ford Escort car, he appeared on this model in 1997. DVS split port is a single, four-cylinder, 8-valve, equipped with a belt of the gas distribution mechanism.
The real Beach of these power units is a weak landing of valve saddle in the GBC. The saddle departs with the slightest overheating, as a rule, after what happened:
- replacing the head of the block (at best - its cheap repair);
- replacing the pistons.
If the saddle hits the cylinder, the sleeve is damaged, the skeleton bends, then without major repairs, it is necessary to retract the block. Another problem with this breakdown - spare parts are not suiced, sometimes it's easier to buy a contract engine than to restore the power unit.
In KHOs there are other "diseases", but not so serious:
Often, many car owners cannot determine which type of two-liter engine is installed on the machine, and the model does not fit into the technical distribution. There are two ways to determine:
DuratorQ TDCI
The diesel engines of the DuratorQ family were first presented in 2000, the first such power unit appeared by the Ford Mondeo car. In Russia, Focus-2 with Diesel is rare, such a car is more popular in Europe.
Diesel engines are characterized by many positive qualities, they:
- reliable;
- work steadily;
- possess good travelers;
- economical;
- it is nicely launched even in severe frosts.
But the diesel "focus" has a significant drawback - it does not tolerate poor-quality diesel fuel. If you fix the car with a poor diesel fuel, fast feed fuel nozzles quickly, and the car will have to evacuate in the car service. 
Focus-2 is completed with diesel engines in five versions, internal combustion systems - 1.6 and 2.0 liters. The most popular diesel engine on the "focus" - 2.0 TDCI model DW10C, this power unit is equipped with the Common Rail fuel system, develops the maximum power of 163 liters. from. The engine corresponds to euro-5 environmental standards, is quite high efficiency. FUEL FUEL FUEL FUEL FUEL FOR FOCUS-2 C DVS 2.0 TDCI per hundred kilometers is:
- 2 l - on the highway outside the city;
- 5.0 l - in a mixed cycle;
- 6.3 L - on trips around the city.
There are three options for 2 liter turbodiesel - with a capacity of 115, 140 and 163 liters. p., Between themselves, power units differ only in the firmware of the electronic control unit.
On the 2-liter engine Ford Focus-2, the timing belt is very reliable, its replacement is recommended to be replaced by 140000 mileage. But the oil on the diesel "focus" changes after 10 thousand, in severe operating conditions - after 7-8 thousand km.
The Russian Focus II put gasoline engines with a volume of 1.4 liters (80 hp), 1.6 liters (100 and 115 hp), 1.8 liters (125 hp) and 2.0 liters (145 hp). Dealers also sold versions with a 1.8-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 115 forces. In the standard with motors of 1.4 liters, 1.6 liters and 1.8 liters were combined with a five-speed manual transmission of the IB5 series, and with 2.0-liter - the same "five step", but with the MTX75 index capable of "digest" torque. For all gasoline engines, except for 1,4-liter, a four-stage "automatic" was proposed.
In 2008, the Fords presented an updated Focus, which many even called the third "focus" - the car was so radically transformed. But it was a classic restyling. The car has a different wings, hood, bumpers, headlamps, outer mirrors, sidewalls - without moldings, but with more dynamic rigid ribs. And the most noticeable innovation is the radiator grille in the form of a huge inverted trapezium. For all versions, except for the sedan, the rear LED lights began to offer as the option. Another luxury equipment Titanium appeared. The climate control unit and dashboard updated the cabin. More qualitatively finishing materials. But in the technical plan, Focus has not changed. It is restyling versions that are preferable to buy - most congenital sores in such "focus" by this time has already been cured.
Ford Focus II modifications
Body
As a rule, the visiting instance is starting from the body. We still meet on clothes. And if Focus inspired you with its appearance, do not hurry to refuse. The burnt paint, sandy in the lower part of the thresholds and the darkened details of the decor on machines with a large mileage is, rather, signs of natural aging than barbaric operation. Special attention is a chrome lining on the trunk lid: corrosion at the point of its contact with the body appears after two to three Russian winters. It is about 5,000 rubles. At the same time, check the backlight of the license plate - its wiring quite quickly surrenders corrosion. Moreover, the hatchbacks and sedans suffer to a greater extent. Repair - 1500 rubles.
In winter, the touch buttons of the trunk lock often freeze due to moisture. In addition, the "focus" from the first generation has been preserved a corporate sore - a hopping castle of the hood opening. In order for it to be easily opened, it is necessary to lubricate the inner surface of the emblem closing the castle larva. And better change the full-time plastic castle (3000 rubles) on metal from Mondeo. Of course, the central lock is often placed, which is why not only doors are blocked, but also a gas tank hatch. Therefore, an attempt to refuel with the central locking castle may be unsuccessful.
Salon
The interior of the "focus" is assembled carefully and conscience. Even with age, screenshots and crickets he does not annoy. A tissue upholstery is well sufficient to dry cleaning and is distinguished by wear resistance. True, it happens, Handrite salon equipment and electrics. Complaints against the failure of heating seats. And for the original "heating" will have to lay out about 10,000 rubles. There are cases of climate control whims due to the failure of the salon temperature sensor (2500 rubles). Therefore, inspection of the air conditioner's performance before buying a used Focus is desirable. You also drive the "stove" on the various modes of the fan - "Pumping" of the Motorchik will indicate to its ambulance ending. The new electric motor will empty a pocket for 7500 rubles. True, often the boring resistor (900 rubles) can become the culprit of the sudden "death" of the fan (900 rubles). Middle light and dimensions often burn out, to replace which you have to remove the block pharmitory. And in the winter it is necessary to be ready to replace the elements of the side mirrors. New Amalgam is estimated at 2000 rubles.
Engine
The basic 1,4-liter mechanics will praise - he has almost no congenital sorer. The main thing is not to forget on time, every 80 thousand km run, update the belt of the gas distribution mechanism (timing). True, due to modest volume and power, it is usually "cool" to a complete coil and it works for wear, falling into second hands already at the limit of his resource.
The 1.6-liter engine (100 hp), which was installed on the first focus, is rightfully the title of mass and reliable. It accounts for more than a third of all the "focus" market today. The South African Assembly Motor is designed for operation in the countries of the Third World. Its simple design determines the excellent maintainability and low cost in operation. But this unit is considered weak for a modern car. Especially in a pair with a "automatic".
That is his 115-strong fellow, equipped with a system for changing the phases of gas distribution on intake and graduate shafts. The thrust of the motor is already quite enough in all modes, and with the "automatic" it gets along much better, and in economy is not inferior to the 100th version. Only this modern motor has quickly "ends" the clutch of the phase policy (11 500 rubles). True, on modernized machines, the knot has become more durable.
Modifications with the "four" volume of 1.8 and 2.0 liters are inferior to the palm of championship only versions with a 1.6 liter engine (100 hp). Both engines are the same in design and suffer from general ailments. Motor resources - 350 thousand km. And in the TRG drive - a durable chain, the replacement of which is usually produced after 200 thousand km. But that the motors safely survived to old age, follow the first "hundred" to pay attention to the valve cover laying (1,000 rubles), which begins to rip the oil. However, at first, it is possible to restrict ourselves to the suspender of the bolts weakening due to vibrations. And then only replacement. By this period, as a rule, the upper hydraulic engine support (3500 rubles) is wearing.
Dustless chanda of a 1,8-liter motor (on a 2.0-liter manifests himself less frequently) - bad traction and start on cold, ripped idle speeds and increased fuel consumption - was associated with the lowered models of the electronic motor control unit. Therefore, dealers changed its firmware depending on the malfunction, although these measures were extremely reluctant. Almost the ignition coils and high-voltage wires, fuel pumps are also short-lived. The throttle valve and the exhaust gas recycling valve are rather quickly contaminated. No "knowledge" and neutralizers (34 000 rubles), the life expectancy of which depends on the flow of the oil engine. If the motor appetite increases to 200 grams per 1000 km, it is necessary to beat the alarm and contact the service. Otherwise, expensive repair is provided.
Change the oil in turbodieser 1.8 l is preferably in 5-10 thousand km, and refueling only on proven network gas stations. And then the high pressure fuel pump (TNVD) overcomes the bar in 200 thousand km. Repair - from 30 000 rubles. We'll have to spend money on new injection nozzles (12,500 rubles), rinse the exhaust gas recycling valve. After 100 thousand km, a two-mask flywheel is wearing. A similar problem, by the way, takes place on a gasoline 2.0-liter engine. If they felt jerks when starting from the place and the characteristic ripping, urgently change. Detail dear - from 25,000 rubles, but the consequences of the destruction caused by the flywheel will still be tangible.
Transmission
On the mechanical gearbox IB5 after 50-80 thousand km are known for "departures" of the second transmission due to weak synchronizers. And when working with an enlarged load, the axis of satellites can be burst into the differential, which threatens the sample in the crankcase and repair 100,000 rubles. If when performing a trial trip, the box "will conquer, like a beast," means the bearing of the primary shaft is worn out. And it urgently needs to be changed. Otherwise, the consequences may be depressing.
But the "mechanics" MTX75 is more durable. True, over time, the glands and seals of the gear shift rod are leaked in it, and due to the low level of transmission oil, the shafts and gear gears are rapidly wear. The clutch can be stopped 100 thousand km and more if not a weak refinement bearing, made in a single block with a clutch working cylinder, which is flashed after 50 thousand km.
But the "automatic" is simple as five kopecks and reliable as a tank. The 4F27E box was put on various Ford models in the late 1980s, so today is almost completely devoid of childhood diseases. After 150 thousand km, only the repair of the valve hydroblock will be required (22,000 rubles) and the replacement of the pressure regulator solenoids.
Suspension
With the running properties of Focus II, everything is in perfectly due to the jewelry independent suspension. The main elements are long-livers. Idyllius disturb the support bearings of the racks, "carriage" on average 40-70 thousand km. Approximately the same is released and the hub bearings that change assembled with the hubs. When replacing, do not forget about ABS sensors - they are often damaged when dismantling. Light knocks in the suspension after 40,000 km will let yourself know the rack of the stabilizer. But the sleeves are withstanding almost twicear longer. Simultaneously with them, 80-110 thousand km, there will be a turn of the renewal of the ball supports assembled with the lever and the silent blocks. And then on the approach and shock absorbers (4200 rubles).
In the rear suspension every 60-80 thousand km updated the stabilizer racks. The sleeves hold on average one and a half times longer. Bottom levers wear out to "hundred". Shock absorbers (3,800 rubles) prepared a little longer period - they are often reaching up to 110-140 thousand km.
In the steering of tips with traction there are enough 50-80 thousand km. And the rake itself, on the first cars, even changed under warranty, but by 2008 it became more durable. Moreover, the versions with 1.4 and 1.6 l motors were equipped with a traditional hydraulicer, and more powerful modifications were with an electro-hydraulic steering amplifier, which can "burn" the pump control board. Usually you have to change the node entirely for 28,000 rubles.
Outcome
Find a technically serviceable Ford Focus II will not be a lot of work. If you do not suit modifications with reliable motors of 1.4 and 1.6 liters (100 hp), you can find "focus" from Europe with an equally reliable 2.0-liter turbodiesel. True, we have few such versions. And it is better to stop the choice on post-folding machines - they have already silent children's diseases.

Ford Focus 2 was one of the best-selling golf cars in the period from 2005 to 2008. From the second generation of focus, it was expected that it would be sold in the same quantities as the first generation, and today we can safely say that the developers did not lose and the car has become very popular among motorists and fully justified their expectations. Ford Focus 2 is available in three types Body - sedan, three and five-door hatchback and wagon. Mainly on the secondary market there are machines of Spanish, German and Russian assembly.
Ford Focus 2 began to release in 2005, and almost after the start of sales, the car became one of the leaders in sales by adequate price, high-quality assembly and a large selection of complete sets. In 2008, the manufacturer spent restyling, after which the car acquired more charismatic and modern design. On the secondary market, the second generation of cars can be found in various equipment, from the basic "Ambiente" to the top "Titanium". In total, the choice of buyers was proposed five configurations.
Ford Focus 2 Ways With Mileage
For Ford Focus 2, four gasoline engines 1.4 (80 hp), 1.6 (100 hp), 1.8 (125 hp) and 2.0 (145 hp), as well as diesel versions 1.6 (90 and 109 hp), 1.8 (115 hp) and 2.0 (136 hp). The power unit 1.4 meets quite rarely and only on cars in the basic configuration, most of the machines with such an engine have practically developed their resource, as such cars were mostly bought in a taxi. Motor 1.8 can be presented with a mass of negative emotions, the main problem lies in the throttle and control unit, due to this, the motor can stumble and will not start the first time, and at idle are constantly floating. This problem is treated with the firmware installation from a two liter engine. Also when choosing a car with a motor 1.8 you need to watch it so that it is dry, since it is often pierced with the valve cover and cylinder heads.
During the operation of the car with a gasoline engine, you need to be prepared for high fuel costs. So, for example, a 1.6-liter engine in a pair with mechanics in the city consumes 10 to 11 liters per hundred, and in two liters with an active motometer, the flow consumption can be up to 15 liters per hundred kilometers of run. Diesel motors demonstrate not the worstness in the work, excellent traction and moderate fuel consumption (6 - 8 liters per 100 km), but it must be remembered that the diesel engine is sensitive to the quality of diesel fuel.
Transmission
All engines In addition to 1.4, the automatic transmission or manual transmission could be completed, with a motor 1.4 installed only a manual transmission. All motors working paired with mechanical transmission provide good dynamic ride. Unfortunately, such words cannot be said about automatic transmission, as it works quite slowly. Both transmissions have a considerable resource of work and are considered one of the main advantages of the Ford Focus of the second generation, even cars with a mileage of more than 150,000 km do not cause special complaints of this part.
Mechanical transmission can be given a unpleasant surprise in the form of difficult to switch the reverse gear, which is accompanied by a crunch, this problem is due to the absence of synchronizers, so after constant incorrect circulation, the rear gear starts to fly out. It is for this disadvantage that this deficiency should be paid when choosing Ford Focus 2 with mileage.
Ford Focus Suspension Reliability 2
If we talk about the pendant Ford Focus 2, then you first need to mention that its design is quite unusual, as for the car class of the time, here the McPherson is installed in front, and behind the multi-dimensions. Such a layout gives the car excellent handling and good smoothness.
Resource of parts of the front suspension:
- The original stabilizer racks and bushings have a resource of 50 - 70 thousand km.
- Silent blocks are able to serve 90 - 100 thousand km.
- Support bearings go to 90,000 kilometers.
- Ball supports 100 - 120 thousand km.
- The wheel bearings will serve no more than 100,000 km.
- Shock absorbers 120 - 150 thousand km.
Rear suspension If you drive in a big city along a good road and occasionally go to the country road, will last up to 100 thousand km, and if it is bad, then the lines of service will be no more than 70,000 km. And if the rear suspension demanded repair, it is better to make a major overhaul, if you do not want to visit a hundred times a week.
Salon.
Ford Focus Salon 2 Aesthetic and concise, and the driver of the middle growth will be comfortable enough, but there are many reviews of the tall owners (185 cm and above) that there will be no place for the feet, there will also be a few space for the passenger sitting for the driver. On the forums, the owners in their reviews claim that in the cabin cars collected in the Russian factory there are many crickets in time, and the cars brought from Spain or Germany do not have such a shortage. But as the domestic operating experience has shown, cars that gathered in the European Union really have more high-quality materials of the interior decoration, but in time there are outsided sounds and what the car is older, the greater the sounds.
