problem #2

2009Mar 10

Focus ES V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 200,000 miles

The engine is smoking, might be a bad gasket or a cracked head.... I've tried many things but without taking the engine apart and rebuilding it I am not sure what the problem is. It incessantly smokes, in the cold mornings, or hot afternoons. I am not loosing much oil so it is minor, but annoying when you're engine smoke is drifting in front of other cars at the stop lights. I heard this is a more common problem with the 2000 model.

problem #1

(reported on)

Focus SE Z-TEC DOHC

  • Automatic transmission
  • 96,000 miles

The car overheats and shuts down, ignition with gauge normal...This sh*t happens anytime the temp goes over seventy degree's outside. But only at intermittent times. Done all the bullshit, changed oil, anitfreeze thermostat sensors, still keeps it up
