Ford Focus 3 Ti-VCT 125 hp engine problems and repairs
Ford Focus Duratec Ti-VCT 1,6 liter engine. 125 hp is the same Duratec Ti-VCT 1,6 105 hp with a variable valve timing system, but with other camshafts, modified timing, other exhaust, earlier cutoff, hence we have a power gain of 20 hp. Engine resource of Ford Focus 1.6 125 hp according to the factory is 250 thousand kilometers. Knowing that the motor is an old 115-horsepower from Focus II, we can assume a real motor resource of 300-350 thousand kilometers.
The motor timing drive is belt drive, it is obligatory to replace rollers and belt once in 160 thousand kilometers. As well as all past models of 1,6 liter engine, is as reliable, without obvious weak points, but according to owners, it drives worse than the old 1,6 115 hp. Otherwise, the joints and shortcomings are the same as on the previous Zetecs.

The minuses include inelasticity of the motor, lack of power, at full load the car is quite dead. Forcing the car to go, owners twist the engine as far as possible, reducing the economy to zero, as well as significantly reducing the resource.
At careful operation, as well as 1,6-liter brethren, the motor is reliable and rather economical, normal city variant for driving alone.
These motors are quite reliable, but occasionally the thermostat jams and fails and then your engine Ford Focus 2 warms up or vice versa does not warm up to operating temperature, replace the thermostat.
