Why does my Ford Focus not have DPF?
After about a year of poor running and excuses from the dealer along the lines of ‘it’s your driving style’, ‘you’re in the wrong gear’, ‘the engine is underpowered for the size of car’, ‘air-con operation will cause the engine to judder’, finally a fault code appeared that a manual DPF regeneration was required.
What to do if you have an electrical problem with your Ford Focus?
