Hi all,
I have owned a 2003 Focus Zetec for about three months now and haven't been happy with the perfomance from day one and hope someone can help. At first i didn't like it when the revs held up when changing gears but im over that now (Ford dealer told me that was common to all Focus's) My biggest problem is the lack of power when the car is under load, like driving up hill, it almost seems to me like the engine is being retarded by the enginge management system beacause the more i try to accelerate the worse it gets. I owned a 1.3 festiva before the focus and i could go up the same hills faster in that. I'm using 95 unleaded and getting about 9.2lt per 100k doing about 40/60 city highway driving. I have also noticed some pinging under load. Ford have checked the car out and say there is nothing wrong and no faults have been registered. Thanks Adam |
