hye. new owner of frozen white focus s+ here.
got mine 2nd at 16k mileage 2 months ago and it's due for service next week. i live in sg buloh so i wanna ask if the penchala SC any good?

btw, i have no major problem with the car yet. the jerk doesn't bother me at all and grinding only occurred once for 2 seconds so far. it's a really fun car.

it was a 2013 make but registered on march 2014. i bought it for 88k OTR (is that a good price?). was planning to buy a new one but apparently they ran out of stock and have no plan to restock due to the incoming facelifted model. would have wait for that instead but the rear styling really turned me off.

lol. sure

what we know so far --> http://paultann.org/2016/01/06/c346-ford-f...ia-launch-soon/ (remove an n from paultann)

is it true that the new tcm update will result in reduced accelerating power?

my car rarely jerks so i asked the sc not to update them as some says throttle response feels lagging after update

done 40k service yesterday. didn't update tcm just changed wiper and battery.

but SA said my car dct also shows oil leaking signs. is it serious? because i'm not sure when i'll be able to leave the car at SC.

i always look in mudah and carlist to find those verified and trusted badge.
other than that you should actually go and inspect the car yourself.
or if you got budget just wait for the facelift.

intending to keep it for a long time since it's my first car. but if i encounter major problems in the near future, might have to consider selling after the warranty period is over. right now facing the transmission oil leaking issue. called SC Jln Ipoh and they asked me to walk-in 8am tomorrow to check.

i tried calling ford klang because they said the queue there is shorter but the operator doesn't even know what transmission is thus i don't think it's safe to let them handle my car. i said transmission oil leaking then she said "transmission? engine oil ah?"

stumbled upon this. banged from behind and chained to the front.

that's a whole another level of jerking compared to the mk3 focus. i don't know if i'm not sensitive or anything because i rarely got this jerking problems everyone was talking about. only when i made a bad throttle input that i experienced this. i'm not defending ford and i am not a ford fanboy but either the owners are too sensitive or the DCT is designed to make bad drivers look bad. not to say that i'm an excellent driver but you at least need to know how your ride works right? all said, it's the thing in the past now. no more DCT for newer models.

*p/s: if you dig around you'll find owners of CVT that complaint about jerking problems too. it's a world full of jerks we live in.

only 10hp difference. mk3 is 170, mk3.5 is 180. and because its using conventional auto vs dct i doubt that the performance will be too noticeable.

why did you change it? clutch wear out?

that sounded serious and 6 months waiting list is quite unacceptable. i'm lucky that they found out about my flywheel oil seal showing signs of leaking earlier. if not might run into some trouble.

ask to approve me too

yup. mk3

mine they also said 7 days but complete in 4 days. i guess they just said it to lengthen their deadline so they can do it with no rush.

i was contemplating on whether to wait for new civic or buy mk3 focus or wait for mk3.5 focus last year then the CVT really turned me off. otherwise it is a good car but the coupe version is most good looking i think.

not better. just more reliable. DCT still has the upper hand on driving pleasure.
