whitestone679231 113 Posted October 1, 2018 So I sold a 1.0 Focus on Saturday,,,, turned on the news this morning,,, now i am waiting for the phone call,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stalker 180 Posted October 1, 2018 I would have said that news will add value in my eyes. Its like a comforter for customers that should their engine go pop Ford will sort it out. We had a 1.6 Kuga a while ago that popped a coolant hose/pipe and we ordered and fitted the new pipe sharpish, it wasnt till i read about this happening quite frequently in South Africa and America that i realised we could have got ford to pay for it.

lastyboy 23 Posted October 1, 2018 Goes well when running correctly. A lot were recalled but we had a customer bring in a rough running one into our service workshop. It had recently had the upgraded pipe and it still blew the upgraded pipe and done the engine in. Ford contributed 60% which i thought was poor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New engine required. I am sure at some point, someone will sort out a remedy. They also suffer terribly from oil sludging internally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not seen anyone repair one to my knowledge . Think the main issue is the head cracks . Someone on ebay is repairing the heads fitted for £900. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
have a word with the wife 299 Posted October 2, 2018 overheating [and apparently they do this within seconds] when the pipe fails doesnt show on dashboard, head cracks and the water directs into exhaust port and from what i can work out on the 1.6 the head cracks on a oil feed , thats what the fire is.
