How old is a Ford Focus TDDI Engine?
You still have the DMF and EGR valve to worry about though. 1600tdci in focus was gutless and started getting injector leak by 5year old and 140k miles. TDDI lump in 2008 focus was gutless, heavy and agricultural. Mates father has a 2007 Mondeo, last of the mk3/4s and its seals have gone. Another mate is on his 3rd of the mk3 shape in 8years.
When did Ford stop using the TDCi engine?
TDDI engines were phased out around 2002 for the TDCi engines. I had an 1800 TDCi focus, and it was fine, had a bit of poke, was 122hp standard (115 quoted) and was mapped to just shy of 150hp. Only problem I had was with a split I/C hose. Averaged high 50’s in the focus with motorway driving.
How often do wheel bearings go on focus TDDI?
Never has any drama. There’s a 2000 focus tddi in our family which we have had for about 10 years, now done about 120k miles. No major faults, still on original clutch. Wheel bearings do go every few years. Does about 47mpg average, 50+ possible on a run.
Is the Ford 1.8 diesel engine a good engine?
The Ford 1.8 diesel engine, in TDDI or TDCI guise, is one of the most rough and agricultural engines you will ever experience. Unless you like driving dumper trucks, avoid. Not the most refined I agree but I don’t think it’s all that bad, it does a job at the right price.
