7 – Ford Focus cambelt advice. The 1.6 Ti-VCT petrol unit uses a rubber cambelt (all other Mk2 Focus models have a camchain). Replacement is scheduled for every 36,000 miles otherwise a quick and noisy death will occur. Replacement must include the tensioner so ensure this to be the case if it’s advertised as recently changed. The engine is petrol 1.6L Duratec DOHC Ti-VCT petrol engine with 5-speed manual transmission. On paper, it has 92kW (125PS) @ 6300rpm and 159Nm @ 4000rpm. IT FEELS more like being a 65PS car Bloody 4 year old Hundai Getz with 80K on the clock has more go in it then my Focus.

The test mpg rate of our Focus is suffering, too. Like its previous driver, I’m getting 33.2mpg – a long way from the manufacturer’s combined rate of 43.8. Model: Ford Focus 1.6 Ti-VCT
If you’re in the market for a small car, do yourself a favour and test drive the new Ford Focus. 1.6L Duratec Ti-VCT. 5-spd manual. 21,990. 6-spd PowerShift auto. 24,290. Trend: 2.0L GDi Ti-VCT.
You can optimally utilize the true potential of your Ford engine with chip tuning from RaceChip, which optimizes the engine controls. Ford itself uses this principle when it offers various performance levels based on the same engine block. For example, Ford offers the 2.0 TDCi in the Mondeo with power ranging from 116 to 163 HP. 71Hr. 906 946 624 793 326 602 987 165
