if your on D, standstill engine idling causes trembling; most probably engine mounting dead.

but its year 2012, thats a short life span. what's the current mileage?

it could be that the idling RPM is too low, hence shaky.

as for ATF oil, best change every 20k on the ODO.

happy troubleshooting bro

is the engine mounting in good condition?

that part is air filter --> throttle body assembly.. perhaps the housing clip loose?

looks and feels different bro.

engine mounting is tear and wear parts. try start the car, engage D, stand still and see if the vibration is harsh on steering and floor pan.

drive shaft issue is only noticeable upon speed pickup.

lower arms would be running over uneven road and see if there's any "ngok ngok" noise. same goes to suspensions.

fan belts are the screeching sound.

hope above help.

check if its either pregnant tyres or wheel bearing.

or spoilt absorbers that caused uneven tyre threading, hence creating the noise.

no issue, helping out only.

try Caltex Techron fuel for few tanks. it got cleaning agent that helps to reduce carbon residue in the combustion sytem.

gonna do brake oil bleeding?

make sure got another fella help you press on the brake pedal to bleed it clean, and try to avoid letting air get inside.

wheel bearing around RM150-300 per pcs, depending on brand.

its a tear and wear item... my year 2008 car also got this bearing issue... but its not a Toyota lar.

just change spoilt one, the rest can leave it.

yeap, second that.

mine is J, still stock but fully loaded with soundproof.. getting around 11.5km/litre.

your ODO is already distorted by the different wheel+tyre size due to different contact surface caused by the 15 to 16' rim+tyres.

Its depending on the surface equivalent.

If you're from 185/60/15 to 205/55/16, then its equivalent. Try this site: https://tiresize.com/calculator/

205/55R16 24.9X8.1R16 24.9"Equal

255/50R16 26X10R16 26"+4.4%

thats why i said depends on your wheel size.

last time i was on 205/55/16 changed to 215/45/17... the reading off by 1%.

not entirely true that bigger rims are heavier.

my stock Ford Focus TDCi 16' rims are heavier than a Vossen CV5 17' rims.

it really depends on which type of rims you buy.

16' tyres cost is definitely higher than 15's.

a PS3 205/55/16 cost RM380-420 per pcs, whereas a cheaper alternative like Kumho Ecsta7 cost around RM250-280 per pcs.

On the extreme part, my friend installed Advan AD08R RM880 per pcs on his TDCi.

again, depends on what brand and model of tyre you want.

mk2 petrol, but got 3 close member on TDCi mk2.5.

Try swap rear tyre to front.


Damn reliable. Common problem is the intercooler hose. Maintenance is pricier as the parts are rather costly.

So far no major issue.


No problem.

good luck bro.

used Focus TDCi price range around RM50-65k, depending on year of make; and whether its Hothatch or Sedan.
