As most will know, when the 1.8 TDCI (Lynx) engine was first introduced, rather than have one timing belt, this engine utilised a lower timing chain - to drive the fuel pump, and an upper timing belt, from the Fuel Pump to the cam. What a lot of independent garages don't seem to know though, is that in 2007, Ford made an alteration and replaced
Hi everyone i serviced my 56 plate tdci 1.8 focus yesterday and now the car wont start :( I know the problem is the fuel filter, I didnt add any extra diesel when i changed the filter and now there is air in the fuel lines, My question is how will i get it out? Any help will be appreiciated thanks AdamThe easiest method to check the alternator is by measuring the voltage at the battery terminals when the engine is running. Start your Focus. Connect the black cable of the multimeter to negative terminal of the battery, and the red cable to the positive terminal. The voltage should be between 13.5 and 14.8 volts with the engine running.
The recommendation is to have the EOLYS topped up every 3 years rather than the whole DPF replaced IIRC. Mine went because the previous owner hadn't had it done and it had run out.

The car is not starting, and it was shut down until driving. The DTC I got in the ecu is P1664 and P1564. They are related to the HP fuel pump electronic I assume. I have got an intermittent starting problem with my car. Sometimes when I turn the key the solenoid will engage on the starter but the engine doesn't turn over. Usually when this happens it doesn't matter how many times I turn the key the car won't start, however sometimes after 10 or so attemptsFord Model: MK2 Focus 1.8 TDCi Ghia (Saloon) Ford Year: 2005 UK/Ireland Location: Yorkshire Share; Ford Mondeo 1.8TDCI starting problem (HELP)A code reader, Ford just makes crappy cars, and they will sign you up knowing the cars are problems, the Ford Focus in particular.

Depending on how long the car has been standing it can take up to 60 secs for the engine to fire. This is bad when you are going along the motorway and the engine cuts out and it takes 20 secs to get the thing started again.
