Posted July 3, 2014. my 59 plate 1.6 petrol at the minute does 38.3 mpg thats with a few longer journeys than usual. usually with short town trips and work (8miles each way) i get 36ish mabye more. long motorway i can get early 40's. I keep the oil changed every year and service it etc . Only additional components (engine mounts, hoses and electronics for example) that are installed onto the engine are designed and produced by Ford. The 16-valve DV6 engine used on the Focus MK2/MK2.5 is known for its problems However if these engines are looked after and a reduced service interval is applied most of the problems can be My 1.6 has the 115bhp Ti-VCT engine, and I too wish it was more like an ST, but it's not. Ford Model: Focus MK2.5 Zetec 1.6 Petrol Ford Year: 2008 UK/Ireland Diesel engines. The Focus’s diesel-fuelled range starts off with the 1.5-litre TDCi in 95hp form. That doesn’t sound like a tremendous amount of power but its 250Nm of torque outguns all the mainstream petrol engine figures, and like all the diesels, a six-speed manual gearbox is standard. Top speed’s just 112mph but it’ll reach 62mph The 1,5-litre Duratorque TDCi turbodiesel engine was introduced to the Focus line-up in mid-May 2017, and this replaced the previous 1,6-litre turbodiesel engine. The latest Duratorque motor is rated at 88 kW and 270 Nm of torque, fairly modest output figures by current standards, but the accent here is on fuel economy. There are 2 1.6 petrol engines listed: normally identified as '100PS' and '115PS' (this seems to be the way the dealers list cars - they can't be bothered with all this Ti-VCT stuff) 1.6L chain-cam Duratec 100PS, Euro 3&4, 161g/km CO2, 42.2mpg combined, 111mph, 0-60 11.6 secs.

Going to collect tomorrow just wanted to make sure I'm not making a mistake. Outside and inside of car is clean. engine looks to be in good condition no leaks. With an 8-year-old car and 142K on the clock, only time will tell, and certainly no-one here can. You must trust your own skill and judgment. I0N3.
