It'll probably start fine with just a second or two of ignition before starting. The plugs don't heat from opening the door. On modern petrols the in-tank pump starts from opening the door which may be where the confusion came from. The 1.6 TDCi uses an electronic EGR valve.
I have a 59 plate 1.6 TDCI with 115k on the clock. I've had it since 9k miles and it's always been dealer serviced (for what it's worth), on time. I am getting P0299 with Engine Malfunction, pretty reliably when I floor the accelerator.
Car - 05 reg, 1.6tdci, 88k miles, owned from "nearly new" I've looked through this very useful forum and may others in relation to turbo, MAF, MAP, EGR issues on the 1.6tdci and have read about all the problems identifying and fixing etc Anyway, I am getting the "engine system fault" message and
Ford Focus Club ; Focus Tdci 1.6, Engine System Fault - No Codes swapped my pedal out of my ZTT into his ZT to confirm that was the problem and the car was fine
I've found plenty of focuses with the 1.6 diesel engine in my area (all of them manuals, I don't like automatics) but to be honest I've heard really bad things about both the engine and the car (engine failures, injector failures, bits and bobs breaking in the car etc).So anybody who's owned one of these bad boys had any serious problems?
Cars with the DLD-416 DV6 engine goes more than 100,000 miles without any problems. One serious issue with the 1.6 TDCI is turbo failure. Oil supply troubles due to sludge build-up in the oil feed pipes can cause a blown Turbo.
The problems that the Ford Focus might harbour are not uncommon of any car of its age, so don’t be put off by the potential issues listed above. Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi DPF Zetec 5dr. 2010
