Any Ford Focus owner who can share knowledge on their 2006 2.0 H/Back issue??

I have mine whereby everytime i put in my car key, turn to III, it will beep 5 times. Then i can start the car nicely. The beeping sound worries me.

Went to Tr Mantap Cheras this noon. They said there's no faulty signal from the meter cluster... Hence no prob wor...

Till now im still abit worried ler.

Anyone can enlighten me??

Thanks!!

I thought the beep is normal? Mine also beeps when i switch to ignition, after the beeping gone then i start the engine ( Mine is 2011 tdci hatch )

Oic.... But just now it didnt beep, when i closed my driver side dor, wait the cabin lights to go off, then only plug in key and start ignition.

Very strange.. sweat.gif

Also, my reverse sensor sometimes beep normally and sometimes not upon engaging Reverse gear... It beeps continuously on a long single beep, even there's no object nears my bumper...

Is it something wrong with my fusebox or battery got problemo?? rclxub.gif

2nd case is problem with your reverse sensor already, as for the beeping if not mistaken is for the seat belt 1( once i unhook the seatbelt sure got the beeping )  smile.gif

The seatbelt beeping is well aware.

Now is the reverse beep... Sometimes work properly, sometimes not...

Is it because the fuse??

If fuse it will be no sound at all, as once the fuse blow there's no more electric supply to the sensor.. Best is to check the sensor or change it, the sensor is pretty cheap, sometimes loose wiring also the cause ( check at the connector )

They should have a mondeo 2.0 tdci and price is lower to attract those traditional 2.0litre D segment buyer ( Around 150k ), actually for this kind of car diesel is the best. Good pulling power as well as superb fuel economy  thumbup.gif

Ok. Thanks for the tips. Shall look into the sensor device itself.

Thanks alot.

Hi Guys, Need some inputs here. I currently have 3 choices of car I may choose to purchase. I had already test drive 2 cars but confused which to choose.
Below are this 3 cars.

1) Ford Fiesta (Sedan)
- Really feel great of it's powerful engine and also 6speed AT. FC very good. Body wise- ok. Interior comfort- still ok.

2) Toyota Vios
- 4 speed,1.5cc. Not much power compare to fiesta. FC also poorer than fiesta 15sen/km. But comfort is very good.

3) Mazda2
- Nice body build and nice interior. Heard the engine are nice but FC 17sen/km sad.gif

How good if I can combine all the good parts into one car.

Like to ask any problem with Fiesta?? How about the parts after warranty? If the parts are expensive after warranty, does it means the resale value would drop??
*
i would go for Fiesta based on the given price range. I ran through the 3 cars before getting myself a used Focus 2.0.

The interior build quality and engine performance, Fiesta tops Mazda2, Vios and City.

Think about it.

Yes...I really love the performance of the fiesta and it's true it tops Mazda, Vios and City(easily tell after test drive) - bit of comfort (compare to vios).

I read thru the fiesta club forum and it seems like quite some of issues not only on the car itself but also hard to require parts if any of the parts failure.
Not sure it's true or not, I heard quite an issues with the transmission as well. Is this true??

for spare parts, i guess its widely available since the market is growing here in Malaysia.

Remember the clause "when market demand grows, so is the supply".

also, the parts will definitely slightly higher than Japs since its a "Conti" car. You pay for what you get. Look at the bright side, how solid and well built the car is. So, there is a price to pay for.

to be honest, i just get my used 2006 Focus 2.0 Hatch. Really love it... pampered by the interior and driving experience which you wont really get in Japs car.


Added on May 22, 2012, 11:35 pmGuys,

NVH is pretty ok, once u get above 140 u will start to hear some wind noise..Mine is tdci, the stock tyres ( NCT5 ) really noisy, if u can just change it.. There's a lot selling their petrol model but so far i seldom see tdci selling.. petrol model is underpower and drinks a lot, diesel u can whack like the end of the world and still get good fc, whether buy new or used i suggest u buy the diesel model  thumbup.gif
*
Yes, the petrol model does drinks fuel like no limit... My year 2006 hatch gets rm0.22 per km.... Which is very costly to me actually.

NVH is ok to me.. Last weekend fly 160kmh on North South highway... Wind noise is noticeable along with rear tyre noise.

Any idea to improve my fuel consumption? sad.gif

Due to the heavybody and not so efficient engine, the FC is around there, not much u can do unless u change to tdci. My tdci is getting around 9L/100km in city drive, still pretty much same as my previous honda city vtec  whistling.gif

change to TDCi... engine transplant meh? sweat.gif

lets see if there's alternative such as e-Manage for air/fuel ratio tweak, K&N Air Filter, iridium spark plugs, or carbon cleaner on injection head and engine treatment oil that could help? hmm.gif

if FC is really your concern, i swear TDCI is the way to go thumbup.gif

i've recently change job. i stay in kinrara and my office is near sunway monash uni. all the way down the road.

its nottt too far away, if sunday drive no jam, takes about 15-20mins max to get there. but u know, tat stretch there is usually JAM UP.

my best achievement so far counting by days and not mileage.
i pump 1 full tank on 10/5/2012 (rm90.50, 50.277litre, travel 655.3km) but lasted me until 3/6/2012 before i had to refill. 23days sweat.gif

wa seh~~

TDCi is gooding man... but just commited to a 2.0L petrol focus... how to change so fast o~ icon_question.gif

Yes, mine is Auto. Is it because of my heavy 17' rim?? sad.gif

Ya, next stage is to get K&N air filter, follow by iridium spark plugs.

My engine oil change is due in next 4000km.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks for the kind advise too. smile.gif
