Instructions for removing ford focus estate 1.8 tddi starter motor

change the oil and filter first if you can turn the motor by hand to make sure its not siezed. pull the plugs and put a little diesel in them put plugs back in . make sure your battery is good and crankit it a little to the oil moving through out the engine

Look on the back of the fuse board ,for this you have to drop the fuse board as their are two fuses at the back and i know one is for the central locking ,the other ? Now when the hazard switch is disconnected the indicators shouldnt work but the only thing i can think of is the indicator unit is faulty ,do the hazards light the indicator lights up and they dont flash or is nothing happening?

three simple start problems with diesels if you haven't ran out of fuel

1/ imobiliser not letting power to injection pump

2/ solinoid valve on injection pump

3/ starter motor

starter is located behind the motor under the intake manifold, to replace remove the battery cable & air filter box and remove 2 15mm bolts that go through the bell housing into the starter then get under the car and remove 4 10mm nuts & bolts that attach a plate from intake to the block then remove 1 more 15mm bolt holding starter in and pull it back then nose first down then remove 10mm and 13mm nuts on starter solonoid removing cable and wiggle it out past the half shaft and vualla its out

Sounds like the battery is dead try jump leads.

There is leak in the fuel system and air is coming in somwhere. Maybe the hoses with the injectors are leak.

If the humming is more pronounced when you turn corners it is one of the wheel bearings.Listen to determine which side. They can be done easily DIY but only with some mechanical knowledge.The old bearing casings need to be removed from the hub using a small chisel or drift. The new ones need to be pressed back into the hub ideally but can be done using a hammer and a suitale sized socket.
