1st sets document is Loan Hire Purchase Aggreement
2nd sets document is during you want to collect the car, check carefully before signing

The 2nd document a lot for you to sign and check, there is your car birth cert, document from custom, document from jpj, puspakom,, here you can see the DOB of your car come out from factory, the date car arrive at port, car inspected at puspakom, date ur agent register ur car, the AP and soo on

Other document such as if you trade in your old car for fofo, if ur tender ur plates number,, etc

For me i change my plates to euro style but minus the euro flag,, the font is nice btw,, for front i change to square type to cater the false alarm on front parking sensor, the ori plates too wide

Increased price? Any source?

Was never told of this and I just spoke to SDAC PJ's manager and he didn't mention anything about it.
*
I booked my car a month before the launching date,, initially the price for full specs suppose to be 130k, in fact my loan also approved for 130k,, but during launching sdac annouce the price down to 128k, they called it market penetration,,
Soo if the price plus 2k,, then actually it back to the initial price

Hi guys

Does the fuel lid lock along with the locking of the car doors on the titanium/sport models ? Afraid people might tamper with it.
*
Yup, it locks together with the central locking,, try to believe it

My focus is at his 1st 10k service. Been satisfied with the car thus far, great control ! Though it got hit with a dent and scratches in front. sad.gif

I've read in other forum the car cant reverse at uphill, I tried and it can still move but it's not smooth, same as the jerking at low gear. Anyone has same experience?

The car definately can reverse at uphill,, but dont terkejut if the car tersengguk-sengguk,, cool2.gif its normal if you reverse slowly

I strongly think that them multiple color for the ambient light is already there, its because the light is LED,
only that we dont have the priviledge to change it,
If you guys are using blackberry then you would know, the standard colour is red, but with installation of paid apps we can change the color

have you guys encounter this problem before?

once i turn power off, the display lcd and speedometer remain lit up. It only switch off once i lock the car

i might be wrong but i think the display is draining the battery. my car is barely 2mths old and i have to jump start it twice already. 1st time is during installation of tinting, the car engine is off but the doors remain open during installation and when i tried to leave after installation, the engine couldn't start. 2nd time was when i left car at car porch without locking the doors, the next morning the engine couldnt start.

dont know whether is a battery problem or ignition problem

Bro,
I bought my focus few days after launching on Oct 2012
On Feb 2013 my car died on me, baterry kaput, if the battery kaput, you cannot even get into the car unless using the key, and the key can only unlock the driver door, cannot free the gear, the car at P how to towed, and then after calling insurance company, the first 2 tow truck failed to towed the car,, please bear in your mind that we need tow truck with baby tire to towed the car.

After few hours at SDAC they could not identify the problem, the only solution is to change the battery.
What i learn from focus fanatic is that everytime we off the engine YES some display and button still ON, but there is some bug if after you LOCK your car the light at dashboard still on,, please observe your car, everytime after you lock your car please 'intai' inside to ensure all the light is off,, if some light still ON please restart your car, ON all light, ON your radio, if your USB drive still plug in unplug it

After you lock your car the only light that is still ON is the blinking PATS on odometer every 3 secs and orange light at dashboard with Key picture on it but this one will only stay for few minutes

Users can change the battery ourselves isn't it? Or we need to get the vehicle to be towed to the service centre in the event the battery died? If the battery died and the car needs to be towed to the SC, that would be pretty inconvenient wouldn't it?

Also, is the battery change FOC? What about brake pads and wipers?
*
The battery is under 1 year warranty,
For consumable like wipers and pad im not so sure

the hassle it takes to arrange jump start/towing and the time spent waiting. the frustration especially when ford says everything is in good working condition...if it is a 20yr old car i fully understand. what i am having here is a 4month car which only done 6000km.

Bro,
Thank God its only happen to me once, and I know your feeling bro. Some car nut call it "battery parasite" and it take month to rectify adn solve the problem, because have to check all the electronic part that refuse to sleep even the car is off and lock

Here some tips.
After you switch off the engine, all light at dashboard will always remain On for few minutes,
But if driver go out,, close door, the dashboard light will auto off, ALWAYS CHECK THIS, if light still On, lock your car, then this time all light should be Off, accept the PATS blinking red light and one orange light at dashboard with key icon on it.
If all light still on, open car, start engine, on headlamps, on radio, on aircon then take a spin, after that swith off light, off aircon, off radio, MAKE SURE YOUR RADIO LIGHT is OFF everytime you off your radio, the only light that On is the word SONY and radio power button.
Before you off the engine, double check there is no USB attached, and no charger at your cigarate lighter.
Then Off the engine, go out from car, close door, before you lock your car make sure all light at dashboard is auto off within few second, then only lock your car, if your dashboard light still on, then thats the culprit. And check your aircon light also, sometimes this light refuse to Auto Off. Snap a picture of the light and make sure with the blinking PATS light, to show that you already lock your car.

This is not happen to all focus but it only happen to unlucky one, the light at dashboard refuse to Off. In Malaysia its only happen to you and me I guess.

Same goes to the USB drive, my brother also owned a Focus, he never pull out his USB drive ever unless he need to add in new song, but I always pull my USB drive out, no harm because the car clever enough to go to your last song, unless the Indexing is still on going.
If you notice, sometimes, we Off our engine, lock our car, then we come back On engine, On radio, at display it show, Sync System Idexing Complete, thats mean the car still doing minor background job even the car is Off.

Now since Feb 2013, my car all fine, no big problem, except for small issue. My car is weekend car.
What I do everyday before go work with my bike, I will go my focus and have a peek and see is the PATS blinking red light is On or not, if not blinking, then I'm in big trouble.

For owner that having problem with loud thud thud sound at front absorber when your hit hole or road bumper, go SC and ask technician to tighten the lower arm screw for absorber, under the absorber mounting. I dont know if you guys understand or not, if no, I'm sorry, reply me and I will explain again.

Now I'm waiting for my warranty claim for steering guk guk sound, Ford PJ said Ford Krabi is on top of this problem, and will probably issue out new comsumable part to be replace to eliminate the sound.

Hi guys, after I lock my fofo, there's a red blinking "i" in the middle of the dashboard. I've checked the menu, messages, and it says system is normal. What could be the cause of the blinking red i?
*
Its only blinking after you lock your car, its for PATS (Passive Anti Theift Security System)
If its blinking during you driving the car thats mean something wrong
