Ford Focus RS mk3 2016

[Robert]

Var och prata med en säljare här om dagen och fick höra att man inte kunde få 1, 9% ränta på en RS, någon som har fått det?

Jag fick som sagt det.

Var det angående oljebytena?

Japp, det var det.

Inte så bra.

[Robert]

Börjar närma sig första service! Någon som gjort sin än? Funderar på ifall man bör säga till dem att kolla särskilt på topplockspackningen som många av de tidiga bilarna haft problem med så man inte slutar med en trasig motor som för Fezza i klippet ovan?

Sen närmar sig ju äntligen sommar och bra grepp, någon som var ut på bana förra året eller har planerat in en trackday iår?

Jag tolkade det som att det inte var något fel på toppen eller packningen utan att blocket spruckit eller fattade jag fel?. Hur som helt jävligt tråkigt på en nästan ny bil.

Så kan det ha varit, vet bara att jag läst mkt om problem med topplockspackningen på ett amerikanskt forum http://www.focusrs.org/forum/154-focus-rs-troubleshooting/49833-failed-leaking-head-gasket-resource-thread.html

Bokade tid för service kommande vecka och passade då på att snacka lite med min lokala Ford-tekniker som jag fått bra kontakt med. Han kände till problemet med förstörda motorer och skulle se vad man kan göra för att kontrollera det under servicen. återkommer ifall jag får någon mer info!

är tyvärr blocket som spricker, ford byter motor och sätter i en likadan, och sen igen om det händer igen. om inte garantin gått ut förstås.

New Ford Focus RS Option Pack Delivers Even More Fun to Drive Experience

• New Ford Focus RS Option Pack to deliver enhanced driving experience with mechanical limited-slip differential
• Exclusive new pack delivers unique styling, including matte black roof and black mirrors for Nitrous Blue exterior, and two-tone seat Recaro shell seats
• Focus RS Option Pack developed by award-winning Ford Performance team, now led in Europe by Leo Roeks in the newly created position of Ford Performance Director

Ford today revealed an exclusive new Option Pack for the multi-award-winning Focus RS that will deliver even more traction and driving appeal for performance driving enthusiasts, using a mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD).

The Focus RS Option Pack will also feature unique styling, including the Focus RS signature Nitrous Blue body colour with striking black exterior details, and a two-tone seat execution.

The Focus RS Option Pack is the latest offering from Ford Performance, who recently showcased their latest line-up at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Confirming their commitment to Ford Performance in Europe, Ford has appointed Leo Roeks in the newly created position of Ford Performance Director, Europe.

“Our new Focus RS Option Pack represents accessible performance at its finest,” Roeks said. “Improving on the class-leading driving dynamics of the Focus RS was no small task – but our Ford Performance engineers have delivered a drivetrain capable of wringing every drop of performance from the 350 PS EcoBoost engine.”

A tight grip on performance
Developed by Ford Performance engineers and evaluated at locations across the globe the Focus RS Option Pack further improves the high-performance hatchback’s class-leading traction and responsiveness using a Quaife LSD for the front axle.

The mechanical LSD limits the engine torque delivered to a wheel that has reduced traction on the road surface, and redistributes torque to the wheel with more traction to counteract the wheelspin that can hamper acceleration and stability.

By controlling the torque delivered to each front wheel, the Focus RS Option Pack’s Quaife LSD enables drivers to more fully exploit the 350 PS 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine’s power in high performance driving situations, and seamlessly integrates with Focus RS driving technologies delivered as standard, including:

• Ford Performance All Wheel Drive, which varies the front-to-rear torque distribution to suit the current driving situation – monitoring inputs from vehicle sensors 100 times per second and sending a maximum of 70 per cent of the drive torque to the rear axle
• Dynamic Torque Vectoring – which uses electronically-controlled clutch packs on the rear axle to send up to 100 per cent of the available torque to either rear wheel, and can switch drive from one side to the other in as little as 0.06 seconds
• Torque Vectoring Control (TVC) – which automatically applies small amounts of brake force to limit wheelspin at the front axle

“For hardcore driving enthusiasts, the additional mechanical grip offered by the Quaife LSD will make it even easier to carry speed through a corner on the track, and maximise acceleration on the way out. The new setup also delivers greater mechanical stability and control when braking hard, and will help drivers set the car up for power-slides using Drift Mode,” Roeks said. “The Focus RS Option Pack takes our ‘fun to drive’ philosophy to a new level for an everyday road car.”

The Focus RS Option Pack delivers Drive Modes that include the industry-first Drift Mode for controlled oversteer drifts under circuit conditions; Launch Control for ultimate performance off the start-line; and 4.7 second 0-100 km/h (0‑62 mph) acceleration.

Unique design
The bold and dynamic style of the Focus RS Option Pack delivers unique details for the signature Nitrous Blue exterior, including matte black roof and mirror caps. The rear roof spoiler also features a matter black finish, with blue RS logos on the spoiler side wings.

Also standard are:

• Low-gloss black 19-inch forged alloy wheels with RS centre caps – offering enhanced strength and impact resistance
• Brembo four-piston monoblock callipers finished in distinctive RS blue with a Brembo logo
• Recaro shell seats with exclusive Nitrous Blue leather applications

Ford Performance
The new Focus RS Option Pack is developed by the multi-award winning Ford Performance team, now led in Europe by Leo Roeks.

“It’s a privilege to lead the acclaimed Ford Performance team in Europe,” Roeks said. “Ford’s performance model line-up has never been stronger and that’s reflected in customer appetites for our cars – we sold 60 per cent more Ford Performance vehicles in Europe last year than in 2015.”

The Ford Performance range in Europe includes the all-new Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS and the Ford GT ultra-high-performance supercar.

Och information den begränsade upplagan som kommer att säljas i Nordamerika, 1000st i USA och 500st i Canada.

Focus RS Performance Car Fans Inspire New Limited-Edition That's Even More Fun to Drive

• Ford followed Focus RS enthusiast conversations on blogs, forums and Facebook groups, which helped inspire the new 2018 limited-edition Focus RS
• Limited-edition Focus RS to deliver enhanced driving experience with new standard mechanical limited-slip differential to improve performance, unique interior and exterior styling, and new color combinations
• 1,500 Focus RS vehicles for United States and Canada offer customers last chance to get their hands on this generation of Ford’s critically acclaimed performance hatchback

DEARBORN, Mich., May 31, 2017 – Ford Performance fans talking to each other and posting comments online about the Ford Focus RS hot hatch performance car have led to a special 1,500 unit limited-edition celebrating the end of run of this generation hot hatch.

Passion from the enthusiast community led Ford to introduce an exclusive new version of its critically acclaimed Focus RS for North America. Ford was listening.The new 2018 Focus RS limited-edition hot hatch adds a few commonly requested features that unique interior and exterior styling, and a new mechanical limited-slip differential.

Available in new Race Red or signature Nitrous Blue body color – both featuring striking new gloss black roof and mirror caps. The rear roof spoiler also features gloss black finish, with blue RS logos on the side wings. Now standard are 19-inch premium painted forged alloy wheels with blue RS center caps.

From the cockpit, the door handles, handbrake lever and turbo boost gauge surround are wrapped in carbon fiber skin, while equipment from the RS2 Package is standard, offering black leather-trimmed RECARO® seats with Miko-Dinamica eco-friendly suede microfiber inserts and RS logo, heated front seats with eight-way power driver’s seat, heated steering wheel, heated exterior mirrors and voice-activated navigation system.

To really excite driving enthusiasts, the global Ford Performance team developed a standard mechanical Quaife® limited-slip differential for the front axle that further improves Focus RS performance. This limited-edition Focus RS will more easily carry speed through a corner on the track, and allow for maximum acceleration on the way out.

“To satisfy strong demand for the ever-popular Focus RS, I’m very excited that we’re bringing this limited-edition vehicle to North America,” said Henry Ford, Ford Performance marketing manager. “We have spent a great deal of time listening to our customers, speaking to owners’ club members, reading comments and suggestions on enthusiast websites, and even studying various forum Photoshop renderings.”

A tight grip on performance
By controlling the torque delivered to each front wheel, the Quaife limited-slip differential enables 2018 Focus RS drivers to fully tap the 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine’s 350 horsepower. The limited-slip differential limits engine torque delivered to a particular front wheel that has reduced traction on the road surface, redistributing torque to the wheel with more traction to reduce differences in wheel spin that can hamper acceleration and stability.

“Our new limited-edition Focus RS represents accessible performance at its finest,” said Jamal Hameedi, Ford Performance chief engineer. “Improving on the thrilling driving dynamics of the Focus RS is no small task – but our Ford Performance engineers have delivered a drivetrain capable of wringing every drop of performance from the engine.”

The new system seamlessly integrates with standard Focus RS driving technologies, including:

• Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive, which varies front-to-rear torque distribution to suit a given driving situation – monitoring inputs from vehicle sensors 100 times per second and sending an average of 70 percent of drive torque to the rear axle
• Dynamic Torque Vectoring, which uses electronically controlled clutch packs on the rear axle to send 100 percent of an average 70 percent available torque to either rear wheel, and can switch drive from one side to the other in as little as 0.06 second – or about the time it takes a humming bird to flap its wings 4 times.
• Torque Vectoring Control, which automatically applies small amounts of brake force to limit wheel spin at the front axle, further enhancing the tractive force available
• Focus RS Drive Modes, which include Ford-first drift mode for controlled oversteer drifts under circuit conditions, and launch control for ultimate performance off the start line and 4.7-second 0‑62 mph acceleration

Coming to a track near you
Only one thousand limited-edition 2018 Focus RS performance cars will be available in the United States and 500 in Canada, with deliveries beginning in late 2017, marking the last opportunity to order the current generation Focus RS in North America.

The limited-edition Focus RS joins Ford’s iconic Ford Performance vehicle range in North America, alongside the recently launched Ford GT supercar, F-150 Raptor, and much-loved Shelby GT350 Mustang, Focus ST and Fiesta ST.

I chatten kom en fråga kring Mountunes uppgraderingskit upp, enligt Ford Performance kommer de gå under garantin i USA. Jag önskar vi kunde få något liknande till Sverige, en motoroptimering verkar kunna göra en hel del för bilens prestanda.
