Replying to: bronco5 (Feb 05, 2007 2:59 pm) Only if you are a dealer with a console to hook the car up to.   Most dealers charge $75 for this.   Mark.
#1910 of 1997 05 Focus Sedan Engine Vibrates In Low Gears by mcurley99 Feb 20, 2007 (7:44 am)
Just purchased a used 05 focus sedan SE, with 33500 miles. The engine has a sort of vibration in low gears and when idling. I can feel it in the steering wheel. Find that the engine is a little noisy at idle, aside from the vibration. Is this normal for a Focus? Is there anything that I should get checked while it still is in warranty?

#1912 of 1997 my poor little focus... by explorerx4 Mar 01, 2007 (4:47 pm)
i have been on a bad streak with running over stuff. i go to work early in the morning and until i get to the highway the roads have little/no lighting. in the last month or a little longer, i have run over a piece of firewood, some critter that was about the size of a med size dog(not a dog), ran through an ice wall left by a plow the crossed my path as i was headed downhill on an icy street. i think i hit another chunk of ice after that too. the other day my radiator fan assembly fell out. i reconnected it into the mounts as best i could. bought to the dealer. getting stuff that needs to be fixed done, but i feel bad for my car.
#1913 of 1997 EGR tube broke. by jeromeb Mar 10, 2007 (8:38 pm)
My 2003 Ford Focus SE suddenly started making a sound which I described as "A vacuum leak related to the ignition timing" It sounded as a like my bicycle did when I affixed a playing card to the tire fork so that the wheel spokes would thwap the card as the wheel turned. The local dealer diagnosed it as a broken EGR tube and gladly replaced it as well as performed some other maintenance chores they could find.   If you are handy with a wrench and your Ford Focus develops a sound which resembles a playing card thwaping the spokes of a bicycle ... you might be able to save yourself a couple hundred bucks by replacing a little rubber hose which runs from the exhaust to the intake.   I actually like my little Focus. It could do with better fuel economy, but the performance and handling are ok for me.
#1914 of 1997 Unknown Annoyance by wellswg Mar 17, 2007 (8:12 pm)
Hi there, I have owned my 2000 Focus for about three years now, and at this point every time I go to drive it I end up aggravated! Every time I accelerate, decelerate, put it in park, reverse......... or do anything for that matter, the engine begins to shutter and in turn the whole car shakes, causing rattling in the doors, steering wheel and instrument panel. Now this is not a small vibration, I mean every time someone gets in my car and I start it, they ask whats wrong with it. Now I just had the engine replaced due to it throwing a rod on a trip with no sign of oil leakage (explain that to me). So I would really appreciate any ideas or thoughts as to why it is doing this (maybe transmition?), and what might be done to help fix this. Thanks

#1916 of 1997 Euro Focus by alfmz3 May 29, 2007 (6:25 pm)
I was waiting for the Mazda3 here in Mexico, but I was really disappointed with its hard plastic instrument panel. I have seen the new spanish Focus today, and it looks fine, but after reading most of yours comments here, I'm afraid to buy one. Replies to this message: creakid1 (Jun 02, 2007 2:40 pm)
#1917 of 1997 Mexico gets Euro Focus by mschmal Jun 01, 2007 (11:03 am)
Mazda3 is the Focus mostly in Mexico.

Replying to: alfmz3 (May 29, 2007 6:25 pm) All the (repair problem) comments here have nothing to do w/ the Spanish Focus.
