Default Re: 2003 Focus

Just finished giving the girls new sled a tub and discovered that it has Zetec written on the rocker cover so I have to ask, are all 2.0l Focus engines Zetec or is there a standard 2.0l and a Zetec 2.0l?

I looked in the books and in the spec's section it refers to the 2.0l running 91RON as having 85kw whilst the 2.0l running 95RON produces 96kw.
Does this mean the 2.0l are the same but when fuelled with 95RON they pick up an extra 11kw or are they two completely different engines.

Cheers

All engines are Zetec. That's the brand of the motor.

They are the same engine. If you run 91RON in them they lose some power (obviously 11kW).

Ok, thanks, looks like it'll be 95 from now on then.
I'll have to shoot the former owner a msg to see what they ran in it.

Spoke to my mechanic, he agreed the oil smell was likely the rocker cover leaking, went to Sprints and priced a new one at $20 so as soon as the 40*+ heat ****** off I'll rip it off and replace it.
I gave it a good degrease and pressure wash tonight and it looks like new under there now.
