Cool, never thought i could do that to my focus, Can you change the level of volume for the warning sounds/indicator sound? and what else could you change for the car?

Thanks. Going to try this mode out tomorrow, just thought i'd ask you what i could change before I messed something up by some random codes lol

[elboydo06]

@TGmick

i decided against messing if i'm honest with you haha for exactly the same reason ;)

[TGmick]

@elboydo06 lol but what can you change? :P

[elboydo06]

@TGmick i don't think you can intentionally change things, i know i accidentally changed things when driving the car in diagnostic mode managed to reset my mileage once which was genuinely amazing, but the next time i fired the car up it was back. that happened because i was running the car in diagnostics mode on engine temperature and i was stuck on ice with some serious wheel spin uphill. if you can find a way of repeating that see if you could save it? new way of clocking cars perhaps?

[TGmick]

@elboydo06 haha awesome. I saw 'chimer module On 750hz 50%'. Sounds like you could change though, maybe by flicking the menu up or down? 50% volume? When my focus went in for its recent service the warning sounds seemed louder, dont know if it was just me or Ringways run this test as I guess they would and changed it

Hi my aunt has a 09 SMax 2L TDCI Zetec and there was a problem with the boot lid and parking sensors, I tried dong this diagnostic test on the car but after the gauge sweep it never went on to do the LED test? Do you have to press a button so it can do the LED test? Thnx

[elboydo06]

@cmagennis927 yes keep pushing the set-reset button to cycle thru all the tests

Brilliant! Love the Focus MkII

Hey, You couldent possibly post a video of you starting the engine on the Focus, And also a interior and exterior panning, and maybe some driving footage could you ? Im looking at buying one this winter.

Thanks

[elboydo06]

ill get on it asap : ]

[elboydo06]

sorry about the delay, still trying to find some free time

[Boeing757basher07]

Aha no worries take your time, Looking at getting a 2007 (57plate) Ford Focus Zetec Climate pack (1.6 petrol, Manual) :) Looks pretty affordable for someone like me on finance, Would rather have the newer 08/09 models but meh aha

[elboydo06]

the only real noticeable changes is the facelift to be honest, ford did have a big change of all their engines in 2008, think it added a handful of horsepower but nothing amazing. i afforded my 09 1.6 zetec s on finance with a part time tesco wage ;P

[elboydo06]

recently noticed when driving the car in diagnostics mode that when the fuel warning light came on the light flashed constantly and the low fuel tone/noise kept repeating till i re-started the car :/

[TheAttribut]

Nice!

Is there a way to get the mileage data from Ford Focus?

[elboydo06]

you get the mileage stats in KMH, if your like me and used to using miles i found it irritating lol

[kevster755]

Cheers for that buddy, I take it you were scrolling through the test stages yourself b pressing the button again?

[elboydo06]

yeah, theres quite alot if you lack patience, i wouldn't reccomend you do this, first few times i did it, i passed the DTC code thing haha then had to keep going thru them till i got back to it

[torian7]

Did you check what was the problem on the S-max ?

[elboydo06]

took it down to the dealership and they wanted 70 quid to check it, so we said we'd bring it back when it dies then they can fix it on warranty :D, its been having a few rough starts tho recently :\

[elboydo06]

the s-max seems to have recently chewed apart its own air-box somehow :S, could be linked with this problem some time ago, just thought i'd mention it ;)
