    Looking for a ford mechanic who knows the cars inside out particularly the focus having trouble with my 09 1.6tdci. Looking for someone in the Waterford area. Or within a 30 min drive of the city. Any names/numbers would be great thanks.

    What is the problem?

    Dpf blockage?
    Egr sticking?
    Leaking injector seals?

    Ah well that narrows it down a lot, if it's engine trouble you're having you probably have a fault with your engine! 😝

    No need to thank me!

    did the turbo blow

    If the customer does not have the oil changed at the recommended intervals, the oil will become excessively polluted and will no longer ensure the correct lubrication of the engine. One of the first consequences is inadequate lubrication of the turbocharger bearings causing a failure which is repeated after the turbocharger is replaced. Subsequent symptoms resulting from the reduced level of lubrication will be a noisy engine and then destruction of the engine.

    We remind you that if the customer does not keep to the servicing intervals recommended in the Maintenance and Guarantee Guide, the customer will be responsible for the durability of the mechanical parts of the engine.
    In this case, the any related repairs needed are not covered by the new vehicle warranty.

    CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE OIL CHANGE PROCEDURE

    If the oil changes are not done as described above, all deposits of old oil will not be removed and will very quickly pollute the new oil, accelerating the ageing of the oil in the engine lubrication circuit (even causing the oil to congeal).

    The consequences for the engine are the same as if the oil change intervals are not observed. As a result, any related repairs needed are not covered under the new vehicle warranty.

    the engine is manufactured by Peugeot


    There was a Ford Technical Service Bulletin to this effect, the engine is a PSA unit but the oil supply was better on the Peugeots hence only problems on the installations in the Focus, Ford dealers/specialists will know this but smaller garages maybe not.
