Fuel starvation to the pump causing the pumps timing not to operate correctly. Low engine compression. Water/petrol in the fuel. I've decided to give up lurking and start posting as I have a bit of an issue with my Focus 1.6 TDCI. 109. The car is a 08 plate, one of the few facelifts on the 08 plate. The engine has done around 170k and been with me for six years. The engine has had a replacement turbo prior to my ownership along with the new type feed pipe. The Ford 1.5 TDCi engine is a four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that offers a balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Some key features of this engine are: Displacement: 1.5 liters. Power output: Typically ranges from 95 to 120 horsepower. Torque: Varies between 215 and 270 Newton-meters. Common rail direct fuel injection system. For a Ford Focus mk1, 1.8 tdci, 74kw from 2004, I see that the timing belt only links the camshaft to the fuel pump. The crankshaft and the camshaft are linked through a chain.

For 1.8 TDCi and 2.0 TDCi engines the each injector has a 16-digit calibration code stamped on the body. For 1.6 TDCi engines the each injector has an 8-digit calibration code stamped on the body. These codes relate to the electrical and structural characteristics of each injector, which are defined during production. A faulty purge valve can cause serious engine damage if not repaired on time. 2. 50-Amp Main Fuse Shorting. Another problem that the earlier Ford Focus family is known for is its electrical issues.
