Funny that you mention it - it was a german chap who made that icon

This is such a common problem on this model you'd think they'd fix it before they let them off the forecourt, but no, because doing it this way they get paid to fix it.

I bet he thinks Ford will replace this wearable part under warranty!

Don't worry Wilmslow it's only about £300 you'll have to fork out.

Ford refused to repair my Focus when it did that. They said there was nothing wrong with it. Bit odd that a clutch spring broke just a month later. Threatened Ford with Small Claims. They just sent FOAD letters. Couldn't be bothered to actually sue them, as was about to trade the car in anyway.

Broke clutch spring? Hmm, a mechanic who can't tell the difference between disintegrated plates and a broken spring. Worrying...

So, Ford Focus, the biggest selling compact in the UK has a known problem about the clutch sticking in??

Scary.......

Have to say, since owning german motors, breakdowns just don't happen anymore. The only time it's in the garage is for a service.

Try telling that to anyone on the main FiatUK forum they keep telling me that because my indicators don't self cancel it's Character

Its a common problem on the Audi A3 as well (serious) or least on the last generation model. Needs a new clutch spring, Im expecting mine to go some.

When it does, it'll be in the middle of rush hour in a heavily built up area.
