I realise lots of posts with similar issues to what I have so apologies trying to get some clarity as I couldnt see any real definitive fix. I have a Focus 1.6TDCI Zetec 2009 that looses power after about 20 mins of driving - so I am deducing rightly or wrongly the problem occurs when car gets warm. 8. Name: Ben. Ford Model: Focus TDCI. Ford Year: 2004. UK/Ireland Location: Wiltshire. Posted April 23, 2014. Evening chaps, New to the forum and although a long term fan and enthusiast, new to Ford ownership too. I come from a background of tinkering with MG ZR's mainly. I have a 2005 mk2 2.0tdci 136 focus. For the last couple of months i've been having problems getting it started from cold. It's had new glow plugs, new EGR valve, new battery, but not fixed. From cold, it may or may not fire up first time but then after running for a few seconds at idle it dies. P1261 would be the Injector Short circuit code, it will be stored in, and raised by, the ECU (or PCM, or ECM in Ford Speak). Most codes raised by the BCM will be B codes. And they will relate to functions controlled by the BCM, or to system voltage (battery/alternator) problems. While water ingress into the BCM is a rather common fault If your Focus won’t start, one of the common causes is a failed Focus crank sensor. Today I’ll be showing you how to test your Ford crank position sensor in a 2007 Ford Focus ZX4 with a 2.0 liter ZETEC engine in it. In order to complete this testing guide for your Focus crank sensor, you will need to use a digital multimeter. Problems with Ford Focus alternator smart charging. First things first, check the battery, not just condition, but correct type. A lead acid battery will not work properly with smart charge, it must be Silver Calcium! Easy to over look. Next, put a meter across the battery. Remember when you remove the smart charge 3 pin plug from the back of the alternator I decided to show you guys a quick video to give you guys an idea on how to remove the Alternator on the ford focus 2011-2018 with the 2.0 liter engine. I de If charge voltage with engine on is under 14v, suspect the alternator. But also check cables, including the earth cables. If battery, once charged to 14v, does not hold at over 12.6 v overnight, or drops badly with headlights on, then it is dud battery. (Note the the one voltage you hardly ever see from a "12v" battery is 12v!) Sun 27 Nov 2016 12:50. Ford Focus Estate 2008 - 1.6tdci- Alternator - 3uga. I.ve changed the battery last year in spetember. It was the first time the battery needed changing and the one that died was an original ford with date of install 2008, same year when the car was manufactured. G4sDpM.
