hi guys, I have a very urgent concern ... my ford focus 12 just hit 160,000km and it has started to show a number of problems altogether. I did not expect that from a car like the ford focus, I always thought that the problems would slowly emerge and i will have them fixed as and when required. To begin with the car has started to squeal and overheat. Are there any maintenance suggestions I am missing out on? Thanks
Hesitation is caused mainly when the fuel flow to the engine is disrupted. The commonly known problems that may cause this disruption are:
Unclean fuel filter
Abnormally functioning carburetor
unclean fuel injectors
Damaged spark plug wires and
Damaged spark plugs
If you have ever been under the hood you would know these components of your car
Ford sold thousands of units of this vehicle. It should not be so difficult to get a hold of a fuel pump as it is a basic part after all. User-friendly truck? Maybe not.
Oh gosh I was reading the news and 2014's mustang with the military aviation theme that they donate to experimental aircraft association - young eagles program - was auctioned off at $400k!! If ford was not donating the car to the EAA - i would almost think that its a pretty cool move by the car company but yeah all the money goes the car looks pretty cool and who isnt a fan of the Mustang ... but $400k? i wonder who took it!!? I still think its a smart move ... maybe a marketing tactic.
