Auto is shit. Spanish assembly, leather interior - all complete nonsense. The cost is 640 thousand rubles. For such grandmas it was possible to take a Mazda. It stalls at low speeds, stalls when depressing the clutch at speed, almost flew into the fence at the CADE. Sold - a fairy tale, almost ...

The Ford Focus is a typical representative of small class C city cars. It was created on the basis of the C1 platform from Ford, the Mazda 3, Volvo S40, Ford C-Max, Ford Kuga were also created on it. 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, including both gasoline and diesel engines. The model range is significant from 1.4, 1.6 eco-boost engines to 2.5 turbo engines with 300 hp. under the RS version. Consider the degree of reliability, resource, rules for the operation of such engines. This article is an overview of the engines that 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, on small cars like the Fiesta and Fusion. However, the engine frankly weakly pulled even these small cars, not to mention larger models. Given the small working volume, the engine has a good practical resource. The timing drive uses a belt, and it is necessary to timely replace the rollers and the belt.

Of the minuses, the inelasticity of the engine and low power are noted.

If the engine is carefully and carefully operated, then it serves its owner reliably. Also, the engine is distinguished by good efficiency. As for the shortcomings of the engine, the following are most common.

Sometimes the thermostat can get stuck, as a result of which the engine may overheat, or, on the contrary, there is a problem with warming up to operating temperature. The engine may knock. There are no hydraulic lifters, so periodic adjustment of the valves is required. Sometimes there are problems with the right engine mount, as a result of which vibrations can occur. Occasionally there are situations with engine tripping, but in general the engine is quite decent.

ENGINE DURATEC 16V SIGMA

Ford Focus Duratec 1.6L engine. saw the light in 1998, since 2004 it was renamed, and instead of Zetec they began to call Duratec. The torque increased, and began to be 150 Nm, at the same time the engine was strangled to meet the Euro-4 environmental standard.

The owners note the high reliability and unpretentiousness of the engine. Therefore, the main disadvantage can only be called low power. Timely replacement of the rollers and timing belt is required to avoid problems.

In rare cases, engine tripping, vibration, knocking and overheating are noted.

The rest of the engine is pretty good and reliable. There is a variation of the engine on the market, with a Ti-VCT 1.6 liter valve timing system.

DURATEC TI-VCT 16V SIGMA ENGINE

Power unit 1.6 duratec ti vct unlike 1.6 100 hp has a system for changing the valve timing, an intake manifold, grooves on the pistons. Zetec SE has been produced since 1995, Yamaha engineers took part in the development of the engine. The engine has a good practical resource.

The timing drive uses a belt that needs to be replaced in a timely manner. In addition, sometimes they complain about the timing clutch. There are no hydraulic lifters, for this reason, periodic adjustment of the valves is necessary. The engine may knock and make noise. In some cases, engine overheating is noted. The rest of the engine is quite reliable.

DURATEC-HE/MZR L8 ENGINE

Ford Duratec HE 1.8L engine. The 125 hp, also known as the Mazda MZR L8, is an evolution of Mazda's "F" engine series. It was originally used on the Mondeo, then upgraded to include intake manifold duct management, coil direct ignition, electronic throttle, and a host of other changes. Timing chain drive available.

However, there are also weaknesses. RPMs can float. In this case, it is necessary to flush the throttle or change the firmware. There are malfunctions that are typical for all Duratec / Duratec HE, the engine may triple, vibrate, knock and make noise. All together, this has led to the fact that among the Durateks, this particular power unit is considered the most problematic.

DURATEC HE 2.0/MZR LF ENGINE

Ford Duratec HE 2.0L engine. 145 HP Structurally, it is the same 1.8 liter, with an increased cylinder diameter. The engine is flexible and has good power. Spared from the lack of its predecessors - floating revolutions. The timing drive uses a chain that has a good resource.

If we talk about the shortcomings of the engine, we can note the rapid wear of the camshaft seals.

In addition, there are problems with the thermostat, and as a result, overheating, or vice versa, difficulties with warming up to operating temperatures. It is required to monitor the condition of the candle wells, if there is oil in them, it will be necessary to tighten the valve cover or change the gasket. There are situations when, upon reaching 3000 rpm, the car does not drive and the Check Engine is on, in this case it is necessary to change the intake manifold flap control valves. There are no hydraulic lifters, which means that periodic adjustment of the valves is required.

The Ford 2.0 Duratec-HE engine was installed on Ford Focus 2 2.0 (Ford Focus II), Ford Mondeo 2.0 (Ford Mondeo Mk III, Mk V), Ford C-Max 2.0 (Ford C-Max I), Ford S-Max a also for some models of Mazda cars.
Engine design and 2.0 Duratec are almost the same. Basically, the differences are related to the dimensions of the parts of the cylinder-piston group, since the cylinder diameter of the engines is different.
Peculiarities. The Ford 2.0 Duratec HE engine is equipped with a timing chain drive, its resource is about 200 thousand km. Unlike the 1.8 liter, the two-liter Ford engine is considered more reliable. The Ford 2.0 Duratec has solved the problem of floating speed, it is much quieter than its smaller counterpart, more powerful and at the same time consumes almost the same amount of fuel. Malfunctions include an unreliable thermostat (failure up to 100 thousand kilometers) and small oil leaks from under the valve cover, which can often be eliminated by simply pulling the bolts.
Engine resource Ford 2.0 Duratec HE, according to the manufacturer, is 350 thousand km, but it is not uncommon for the engine to run more than 500 thousand km without significant repairs.

1315691 (AGFS22IPJ) - iridium (installed on C-max 1.8 / 2 liters until 08.30.2005 / 02.07.2005).
The interval for replacing spark plugs is every 60,000 km.
Replacing the air filter Ford 2.0 Duratec-HE. It is necessary to replace the air filter every 40 thousand kilometers. When operating a car in difficult conditions, the filter should be replaced 1.5-2 times more often.
Cooling system Ford 2.0 Duratec-HE. To replace the coolant in the cooling system, including the radiator, you need 6.3 liters of coolant. During assembly, Havoline XLC coolant (antifreeze) is poured.

Ford Focus 2 2 liter engine Duratec HE series is a 145 hp atmospheric unit. with 16-valve timing mechanism. A chain is installed in the timing gear drive. The motor does not have hydraulic compensators, so the valve clearance must be adjusted manually by selecting special adjusting washers of different thicknesses.

Structurally, the 2 liter engine is almost identical to the Focus 2 Duratec HE 1.8 liter engine, the difference is only in the size of the piston. For a 2 liter engine, the cylinder diameter is 87.5 mm, and for a 1.8 liter unit, the size is 83 mm. The rest of the motors are the same.

Engine device Focus 2 2 liters

Engine block Duratec HE 2.0 The 145 horses are cast in aluminum alloy using the Open-Deck method with free-standing (on the top of the block) wet-type sleeves. The power supply system is a phased distributed fuel injection. An engine with a gearbox and a clutch form a power unit - a single unit, transversely mounted in the engine compartment on three elastic rubber-metal supports. The right support is attached to the bracket located on the right wall of the cylinder block, and the left and rear - to the gearbox housings.

The crankshaft is made of ductile iron, with five main and four connecting rod journals. The shaft is equipped with eight counterweights, made on the continuation of its "cheeks". Counterweights are designed to balance the forces and moments of inertia arising from the movement of the crank mechanism during engine operation. Inserts of main and connecting rod bearings of the crankshaft are steel, thin-walled, with an anti-friction coating.

Connecting rods - forged steel, I-section. With their lower heads, the connecting rods are connected through liners to the connecting rod journals of the crankshaft, and with their upper heads - through piston pins with pistons.

The pistons are made of aluminum alloy. Three grooves for piston rings are machined in the upper part of the piston. The two upper piston rings are compression rings, and the lower one is oil scraper.

Compression rings prevent the breakthrough of gases from the cylinder into the crankcase and contribute to the removal of heat from the piston to the cylinder. The oil scraper ring removes excess oil from the cylinder walls as the piston moves.

Focus 2.0 cylinder head

Cylinder head Ford Focus 2 2 liters cast from aluminum alloy. At the top of the cylinder head are two camshafts made of cast iron. One shaft drives the intake valves of the gas distribution mechanism, and the other drives the exhaust valves. The valves in the cylinder head are arranged in two rows, in a V-shape, with two intake and two exhaust valves for each cylinder. Valves are steel, exhaust - with a plate made of heat-resistant steel and welded chamfer. The intake valve has a larger diameter than the exhaust valve. Seats and valve guides are pressed into the cylinder head. On top of the valve guide bushings, valve stem seals made of oil-resistant rubber are put on. The valve closes under the action of a spring.

Timing drive engine Focus 2.0 l.

The timing camshaft drive is driven by a chain from the crankshaft sprocket. The automatic tensioner provides the required chain tension during operation. Timing diagram Duratec HE 2.0 further in the photo.

The tensioner is marked with an arrow in the picture. The second arrow indicates the oil pump. From the oil pump comes a second small chain to the crankshaft sprocket. The chain drive has a rather long resource, but along with the timing chain, you will have to change both the shoes and the tensioner, and do not forget about the chain drive of the engine oil pump.

The motor has a fairly long service life. The 2.0 liter unit came to Russian Focuses from the European plant of Ford Motor Company, Valencia Engine. The engine was developed by Japanese engineers from Mazda. It can be found not only on Focus and Mondeo, but also on some Mazda and even Volvo models.

Ford Focus is a compact American manufacturer that is very popular in our market. The brand has become famous for its technology, which has proven itself from the best side. The second version of the Ford Focus was recognized as the most popular car in our region in 2003-2008.

A distinctive feature, low price, good driving characteristics and reliable power plants. The Ford Focus 2 engine is a modern unit that meets the high demands of consumers.

Power plant modifications

The Ford Focus 2 engine has several modifications of power plants:

• Duratec;
• Zetec;
• Duratorq.

Duratec Series Power Units

The start of production of gasoline engines of the series was laid in 1993. Units of this type are available with 4 or 6 cylinders. Ford Focus 2 engine size installed on the car had values: from 1.4 to 2.5 liters, the most popular and sought after of which were units with a volume in the range from 1.6 to 2.0 liters.

The general characteristics of the engine of the series installed on the Ford Focus 2 looks like this:

• Number of cylinders - 4, or 5 for 2.5 20V (ST), arrangement - in a row;
• Valves, quantity, pcs. - 16, or 20 for 2.5 20V (ST);
• Timing mechanism drive - chain;
• The resource of the Ford Focus engine, according to the documentation, is 250,000 km.

Ford Focus 2 was supplied to our market with the following series engines:

• 1.4L Duratec;
• 1.6L Duratec;
• 1.6 L Duratec Ti-VCT;
• 1.8L Duratec HE;
• 2.0L Duratec HE;
• 2.0 L Duratec ST;
• 2.5L Duratec ST;
• 2.5L Duratec RS.

The 1.6 liter unit was underpowered, especially when driving outside the city and using the air conditioner. 1.8-2.0 liter engines have a similar design, the design difference is only in the diameter of the pistons and cylinders. With a difference in engine displacement, a larger unit consumed fuel as much as a 1.8 liter unit. At the same time, its power was higher.

According to the technical regulations, the following types of work must be performed on the Ford Focus 2: valve adjustment - 150,000 km, timing chain resource - 200,000 km, engine oil change - every 10,000 km of run.

The characteristic malfunctions of the series engines include:

• Knock in the motor. There are no hydraulic valve compensators in the power plant, as a rule, this is the reason. Valve clearances need to be adjusted.
• The engine runs unevenly, intermittently. There can be several reasons: candles, clogged throttle, high-voltage wires, ignition coil, fuel pump. To obtain detailed information, it is necessary to conduct a complete diagnosis.
• Oil control. In the event of a leak, it could flood the candles in the wells.
• After 3000 min -1, “engine acceleration is reduced” or “engine is faulty” lights up on the information board, the car does not drive. It's time to change the valve that controls the flaps in the intake manifold.

Zetec power plants

All motors in the series are belt driven. The range of motors is represented by three volumes:

• 1.4 L Zetec SE;
• 1.6L Zetec SE;
• 1.6L Zetec SE Ti-VCT.

The general characteristics of the series engines are as follows:

• Cylinders, quantity, pcs. - 4, located - in a row;
• Valves, quantity, pcs. - 16;
• The power plant power system - phased distribution injection;
• Timing mechanism drive - belt;
• The presence of hydraulic valve lifters;
• Ford Focus engine resource, according to documentation, 250,000 km;

The belt provides work on only the camshaft, but also the coolant pump. When repairing the engine, it is advisable to replace the pump, along with the parts of the gas distribution mechanism.

The power plant of 1.4 liters has a low fuel consumption, about 7-8 liters per hundred in mixed mode. When servicing the timing belt, it is better to play it safe and make a replacement at 60,000 km of run, despite the manufacturer's recommendations (150,000 km), since its breakage is fraught with bent valves.

It is desirable to pour oil into the engine every 10,000 km. In general, the motor has proven itself well, the only negative is the low power.

The 1.6-liter power plant has a number of minor characteristic problems: poor thermostat operation, as a result of which the sensors showed that the engine temperature was falling or, on the contrary, was not rising; crankshaft oil seal, front, leaks oil; idling is characterized by unstable work.

If you do not take into account the above shortcomings, otherwise, the engine is reliable and goes well before a major overhaul.

Of the features of the Zetec series, one can single out the inconvenience when replacing the timing belt. The fact is that the shaft gear is not fixed with a key, but floats relative to the shaft. With a loose fit of the pulley on the shaft, the marks are knocked off and a change in the valve timing is possible. The result of such failures is unstable operation of the motor and the possibility of failure of the valves.

Despite the shortcomings, the model is considered reliable, without any problems. Before overhaul, the engine life is an average of 250,000 km.

Duratorq TDCi powerplants

In our region, diesel units of the family are not particularly popular; they are widely used in Europe. Sales started in 2000, originally intended for Ford Mondeo cars.

The motors were very good, had a number of advantages:

• Low fuel consumption;
• High reliability and durability;
• Stability and stability of work;
• High traction at low revs;
• Good start at sub-zero temperatures.

There is a significant drawback, when refueling a car with low-quality fuel, fuel injectors quickly clog, and the engine requires service in the service.

There are 5 diesel engines installed in the Ford Focus two:

• 1.6 L Duratorq TDCi (90 hp);
• 1.6 L Duratorq TDCi (109 hp);
• 1.8L Duratorq (Lynx) TDCi;
• 2.0L Duratorq TDCi;
• 2.0L Duratorq (DW10) TDCi.

The most popular among them is the 2.0 TDCi engine, model DW10C. The engine is equipped with a Common Rail system, the power developed by the installation is 136 horsepower, complies with Euro 5 standards. The fuel consumption of the 2.0 TDCi engine per 100 kilometers is: 2.0 liters (highway), 5.0 liters (combined cycle), 6.3 liters (city). The difference between motors 2.0 is only in the software of the electronic control unit.

The engine did not create any special problems in operation. The timing belt has a high reliability, it must be replaced after 140,000 km. But with the oil you need to be careful, an engine malfunction can cause its untimely replacement.

The plant recommends pouring new oil after 10,000 km, but it is better to do this earlier, after 6-7 thousand, in order to be safe from trouble. Engine repair is mainly associated with untimely maintenance and low-quality fuel.

Oil for power plants Ford Focus 2

In accordance with the work schedule, engine oil for Ford Focus 2 is most optimally changed during the period of 7-8000 km of run. "How much oil is in the engine, and what kind of oil to pour?" - the most popular question among Ford owners.

When leaving the factory, the manufacturer poured Ford Formula F 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil into all power plants of Ford Focus two cars. It meets all company approvals: (Ford WSS-M2C913-A; Ford WSS-M2C913-B) and is recommended by the brand. Produced by Elf Corporation and should not be changed until the first maintenance of the unit due to special features in the oil that allow the engine to break in well.

When changing the oil to a new one, it is not necessary to pour the same lubricant as on the conveyor. The main condition is that the oil must comply with the tolerances established by the company.

The amount of oil to be filled can be seen in the table:

Do not forget that before pouring new oil, it is imperative to replace the filter.

When pouring oil, make sure that it does not rise above the permissible mark. For long-term and trouble-free operation of the power plant, it is necessary to use original, high-quality products from trusted manufacturers.
