#595 of 614 Focus ZX5 timing belt by blindjustice Mar 18, 2006 (3:25 pm)
This is just some first hand advise on replacing the timing belt. I have a 2002 Ford Focus ZX5 (NON SVT) I recomend that you take this to a dealer, or the local shop that has connections with a ford dealer, or bring your own parts. I was advised there is no aftermarket timing belt for my car. In fact all the after market companies were unaware of the different timing belt. Good news, I got 133000 miles and there was minor cracking on the edges. But the Water pump serpentine belt and idler had to be replaced as well. Gas miliage 29-32 miles per gallon (And I drive it hard)

#597 of 614 ZX3 gas mileage by yanks3 Apr 04, 2006 (3:43 pm)
I have a 2000 focus zx3 w/ the Zetec engine but i get less then 200 miles on a full tank. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Replies to this message: loolala (Jul 29, 2006 6:49 pm)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Mar 18, 2006 5:51 pm) I wondered too. But perhaps the person meant the "left" side if one were facing the front of the car. The reference to the passenger side can only mean one side no matter which way you are looking at the car. Anyway, I had a similar experience recently (passenger side crumbled - no airbag deployed) and would be interested in knowinf if anyone had a thought as to why that happened (or didn't).

Replying to: yanks3 (Apr 04, 2006 3:43 pm) I have the same car with 5 speeds, and my lowest mileage was 28MPG when it was new. It improved quite quickly after it got broken in. Now it has at least 30, but average 32mpg. Driving in the city is worst on mileage (my driving is 80% highway), but I can't see it being 200/tank. My EMPTY tank light came on about 280 when it's new, and for the last three/four years, it comes on when I hit 360 or even 370. The farthest I let it go on one tank was 425 miles on a road trip!   I do have my rear wiper stop working, and it's not the circuit breaker, but I don't want to spend time/money to fix it.

Guys do you know if Ford is going to ever bring the European Focus ever here?   Thanks. Replies to this message: evandro (Sep 13, 2006 12:34 pm) v_d (Sep 13, 2006 1:54 pm) evandro (Sep 13, 2006 2:20 pm)

Replying to: v_d (Sep 11, 2006 2:58 pm) It can be found over here under the skin of the Mazda 3. And thankfully not under the ugly skin of the new European Focus. Replies to this message: v_d (Sep 13, 2006 1:54 pm) evandro (Sep 13, 2006 2:20 pm)

Replying to: evandro (Sep 13, 2006 12:34 pm) yeah i know, still i like the 4-Door Euro Focus more than everything Mazda and US Ford has... and come on the E-Focus is ugly? Replies to this message: evandro (Sep 13, 2006 2:20 pm)
