The most accurate 2006 Ford Focus MPG estimates based on real world results of 4.4 million miles driven in 270 Ford Focus distribution of the fuel-ups with 1166 Ford Focus - 1.8 duratec- gearbox issues - differential pin. Hi, Firstly, Happy new year all.. I was looking into buying a Ford Focus Mk2 1.8, when I came accross the below review on the whatcar website. The AA guy said that it was water from the engine, getting in through little holes in each spark plug port. Ford Model: MK2.5 Focus 1.6 Titanium Petrol Ford Year Ford Model: 1.8 ghia petrol Ford Year: 2004 UK/Ireland Location: Dorset Author; Share; in part because the 1.4 TDCi engine wasn't fitted to the MK2 Focus. The wife's MK2.5 1.8 was using a bit of oil (about half to 3 quarters of a litre a month), in fact it had done so since it was purchased approximately 18 months so. Last year I ended up flushing it through with BG109 engine treatment, dropped the oil and it's genuinely not used any oil since then i.e. the dipstick still reads as full. It depends on the stock software version but many Focus MK2/MK2.5 with this engine aleady have more power than the 100 HP that is specified by Ford. Many remapping companies promise a nice power gain but most times this gain is based on the specified 100 HP and not on the actual (higher) power the engine probably already has. I'm idly considering getting a MK3 Focus in the future to replace my MK2 1.8 Petrol Focus, which has given many years fine service. The problem is the options on the MK3 For petrol engines seem a bit limited, so I thought I'd ask which ones are the most sensible/least trouble. From what I can gather, the options are 1.0 Ecoboost 1.5/1.6 Ecoboost In some European countries (Germany for example) all Focus MK2/MK2.5 are equipped with rear disc brakes as standard. In some other countries the 1.4,1.6 and 1.8 Petrol and 1.6 TDCI hatchback and sedan versions were equipped with drum brakes while all wagon versions had disc brakes. kv5QKE.
