Problems and faults: Ford Mk.2 Focus Coupe Cabriolet
- Difficulty starting the vehicle and poor engine performance – including entering ‘limp home’ mode – may be due to the Power Control Module (PCM) cluster gateway not closing properly and draining the battery; reprogramming the PCM should fix the problem.
- Engine vibration, ‘engine malfunction’ warnings and entering ‘limp home’ mode may be due to a fault in the throttle body switch which requires replacement. In the interim, stopping the vehicle, turning the engine off and waiting five minutes should re-set the switch and enable the journey to be completed.
- For Focus Coupe Cabriolets with manual transmissions, downshifting into first gear at speeds above 25km/h may cause the clutch disc to break apart – even if the clutch is not subsequently engaged – requiring the installation of a revised clutch disc and pressure plate.
- The clutch may not disengage due to a leaking slave cylinder that must be replaced (along with the clutch disc and pressure plate).
- The air conditioning may stop working due to a refrigerant leaking from the compressor shaft seal.
- The windscreen washers could leak and rainwater could drain into the spark plug housing and cause corrosion.
