2005 Ford Focus TDCi. Turbo issues / new engine required?
in Garage services
Posted · Edited by robclarke
There has recently (January 2013) been a Danish consumer TV program broadcast about this problem. Here is the link:-
I am not allowed to post links, as I have not posted 10 posts!!
Although I do not speak Finnish, this appears to be the story:-
1. Lots of PSA 1.6L HDi (TDCI) turbo failures.
2. Ford have issued a Bulletin, so this is taken that Ford acknowledges there is a problem.
3. Danish parts supplier FTZ say that problem is caused by badly designed sump. Removal of the sump drain plug does not result in total removal of old oil. Leaving sludge in sump.
4. FTZ say that they are supplying abnormal quantities of replacement Turbo's
5. Ford say that no undue level of Turbo failure can be attributed to this engine.
I believe new replacement sumps are available.
