My boyfriend checked the voltage on the battery with engine running and was reading 15.25+ and noticed the battery was actually bubling acid from the caps. So, as he is a good mechanic, diagnosed it saying that the alternator is overcharging the battery causing the bubling and associated oddities. 4. Name: john. Ford Model: fusion 1.6 tdci.

Ford Model: Focus 1.5 TDCI Titanium Ford Year: I have a 2000 ford focus 1.8 zetec with 89000 miles. I would guess it more likely to be an alternator problem Hi guys. I have a 2009 MK 2.5 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Zetec. I've been having an issue with the car recently. After washing the car (no idea if this detail has had any impact) I went for a short 3-mile drive. No problems. A few things spring to mind. 1) dash cam or DRLs are causing the drain for some reason. 2) the battery is 4 years old and needs replacing. 3) I read somewhere that someone had the same problem and after much time at the garage (under warranty) they found that the sync/Bluetooth module was not allowing the car to sleep. It can give you an indication. I know that about 5 minutes before my battery & alternator packed up I had a whine coming from the car. With ignition off battery should read 12.4 volts. Start the engine and it should read between 13.5v and 14.8v . Then switch on headlights, a/c etc and see if it drops at all. Quote. Vay Tiền Trả Góp Theo Tháng Chỉ Cần Cmnd.
