All you need to know is ### unless your driving is nearly all motorway work, then a diesel is not for you ####

Great info thanks, both our Escort and the connect vans had the 1.8 Lynx.......the escort only had the bonnet lifted when the starter motor went, and the current 03 connect has been serviced once since my Dad bought it in 08......both although neglected badly gave or still are giving good service, thats if you dont include the front crossmember rotting and allowing the radiator to hang loose, which in turn rubs the wiring loom away etc etc, and the common accelerator pedal failing. but mechanically (touches nearest wooden object) reliable.

Rather than start another DV6 thread, hope y'all don't mind if I jump in with a couple of related questions ..
Car's a Focus 2008, DV6, non-dpf. Not showing any outward signs of problems yet but I'd rather do some preventative maintenance than wait for it to go titsup. I want to get the sump off and clean out or replace the pickup, replace the turbo feed/return pipes, and change the banjo filter, just want to plan the job first and not get into one of those jobs you wished you never started....
First obstacle is the front pipe with cat, is it pretty straightforward to remove? Any gotchas?
Secondly, is it worth taking the oil cooler off and cleaning it out?
And then the sump pick-up... worth replacing (its about 35 quid), or is it cleanable? By cleaning I mean attack with a can of brake cleaner. And when refitting the retaining bolts are 12Nm and the one is 9Nm, but should I blue threadlock them? OK to reuse the old ones?
fanks!

Um are you sure it's non dpf?
I don't know what your experience level is but the particulate filter isn't the easiest to remove/install on these. Remove the rad fans and the support bracket.
You can clean the pick up.
The sump pans can easily distort when removing,you can straighten them up. But if in doubt get another one.

Yep, no DPF, its stage IV emissions. So as far as I can tell I should be able to just take the front pipe with cat off and gain access to the oily bits.
Skill level, relatively competant DIY somewhere above complete muppet but this would be out of my usual comfort zone.
Yeah I'll replace the sump rather than re-use.

Ford and the other DV6/DV4 manufacturers should offer a discounted service to keep these poorly designed lumps running as intended......in a modern car with todays technology its ridiculous to have to serice so many parts so routinley
Are they really that bad or would a strict oil service regime , say HALF the ,mileage or time interval that of the FORD recommend keep these engines in good nick ?

Ford/Peugeot recommend every 10,000 services on these I'd say at lease 75 % of failures are down to neglect

Cheers for all the info KB. The manual recommends supporting the exhaust flexible pipe before removing the front pipe... but its behind the subframe so pretty inaccessible, especially with car on axle stands... is this really necessary, just taking care not to stretch it should be ok ??
