Default Re: Ford Focus Diesel 07 to 10 models

Belts chains tensioner water pump due at 20000

Is it a manual or auto?

Manual better in fact did they come out with an auto?

Just the usual stuff
Shocks
Brakes
Front air dam fell off mine
Drivers seat gets tired

But they are rugged and reliable

I got out of mine at 278000 on suspicion that it couldn’t last forever but it prob has

Same engine as peugeot307/308 of same era

Great car just suspicious of some of the later models having a powershift auto


Also you ll need to get things decarbonised couple of times


My mechanic back then sent it to a radiator place


Solid constant 5.2 fuel eco maybe 5.4 air con on constantly

...........

My search criteria is stuck on "manuals" only.

Whats involved with decarbonisation? Cost?

I'm potentially looking for a cheap run around that I can bash around for 2-3 months whilst I look for a longer term vehicle. It'll be daily driven so need all the things that make it "go" to be reliable. A bit of knocking and banging from old age is acceptable...after all...been in a 04 banged up falcon for over 8 years now :P Used to it.
