Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / October 20082005B Focus 1.6 ti-vct engine discontinued
Hi, anyone who knows why the 1.6 litre ti-vct engine was discontinued ? I have one runs fine, i'm just curious. /Jorgen Where did you get that from? >Hi, anyone who knows why the 1.6 litre ti-vct engine was discontinued ? >I have one runs fine, i'm just curious. >/Jorgen > Hi, anyone who knows why the 1.6 litre ti-vct engine was discontinued ? > I have one runs fine, i'm just curious. > /Jorgen >> Where did you get that from? Got it from http://www.ford.se ( Focus 2009 ) petrol/gas: 1.6l duratec automatic only 1.8l duratec flexifuel 2.0l duratec automatic only 2.5l duratec ST diesel: 1.6l duratorq tdci ( 109hp ) 2.0l duratorq tdci ( 136hp ) /Jorgen, and don't top post please ! >> Hi, anyone who knows why the 1.6 litre ti-vct engine was discontinued ? >> I have one runs fine, i'm just curious. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >/Jorgen, and don't top post please ! That has to be a mistake. The New Fiesta will have the 1.6 ti-vct engine and so will the 2009 Focus (sorry, the site is in Greek). (http://www.autotriti.gr/news/preview_news.asp?news_data_id=57142&category_id=72) In fact I'm definitely sure your site is wrong as the 1.8l engine was discontinued when the Focus II was introduced :) -Nick >>> Hi, anyone who knows why the 1.6 litre ti-vct engine was discontinued ? >>> I have one runs fine, i'm just curious.

Greek page ?, but you are Nick the Greek ! :) /Jorgen > >>> Hi, anyone who knows why the 1.6 litre ti-vct engine was discontinued ? > >>> I have one runs fine, i'm just curious.

You can get one with this engine and 5 spd manual only. 1.6 liter 100 hp comes with age old 4 spd auto only. I wonder when Ford will change this combo since it hasn't changed for 10 years. I am driving one but my next car won't be a Focus unless Ford will update this combo in near future. Ahmet > > Hi, anyone who knows why the 1.6 litre ti-vct engine was discontinued ? > > I have one runs fine, i'm just curious. I have one too. In my Focus Mk II (UK) 2005 Zetec 1.6. Ti-VCT. I know why it's gone. They are bringing it back to the Focus (I read somewhere) but in the meantime they're using them in the new "Verve" Fiesta Zetec S model going on sale in November in the UK. The Fiesta will go like a rocket with that engine in it! I'm disappointed that it's not in the new Focus Mk II Facelift model. It's an extremely economical engine, very low CO2 (and Road Tax) but has the power of the 1.8 engine from the old Focus Mk I that I used to drive (which wasn't economical at all!). >> > Hi, anyone who knows why the 1.6 litre ti-vct engine was discontinued ? >> > I have one runs fine, i'm just curious.

I had a 1.8 Mk1 and test drove the 1.6 VCT in the mk2 and found it very disappointing. Needed 4000rpm on the clock before it started thinking about going and was no where near as torquey as the 1.8 (which averaged no less than 34mpg over the 60k I owned the car) In the current focus, the 2.0 is the only petrol engine worth considering.

It didn't seem much better than the Mk1 1.6 that I used to own. Perhaps the Mk2 chassis is heavier, negating the effects of the extra 15 bhp. I eventually bought the 2.0 TDCi and don't regret it. Bags of torque and 50+ mpg when driven sensibly (which does happen now and again).

If we're only talking about performance the 1.6 TiVCT is between the 1.6 Mk1 and the 1.8 Mk2 (as it should be). And the 2.0 is of course better. 1.6 Mk1: power: 100/6000 ps/rpm torque: 110/4000 lb/ft top speed: 112 mph 0-62: 11.9 sec 1.8 Mk1: power: 125/6000 ps/rpm torque: 122/4000 lb/ft top speed: 123 mph 0-62: 10.3 sec 1.6 Mk2: power: 115/6000 ps/rpm torque: 115/4000 lb/ft top speed: 118 mph 0-62: 10.8 sec -Nick >>I had a 1.8 Mk1 and test drove the 1.6 VCT in the mk2 and found it very >>disappointing.

I have a 2006 1.6Ti-VCT Ghia Focus which regularly returns 45mpg when driven sensibly - I get 535 miles range on a full tank. |
