Ford Fusion

Subcompact van Ford Fusion began to be produced in the fall of 2002 and stretched on the conveyor until mid-2012. The Fusion was developed by Ford Europe based on the Ford Fiesta. Fugen’s task was to fill the niche between the popular Fiesta and Focus models. The assembly was made in Germany, at the plant in Cologne. In 2005, the car underwent a restyling. Changes affected the front and rear bumper, lighting and front panel.

Engines

In the arsenal of Ford Fusion three gasoline engines and two diesel. The most modest gasoline atmospheric with a working volume of 1.2 liters with a capacity of 75 hp, which appeared after restyling, was not widely used. The most popular cars with gasoline engines are 1.4 liters 80 hp and 1.6 liters 100 hp. Also common diesel version with a unit of 1.4 TDCi 68 hp. Released after restyling, 1.6TDCi 90 hp is less common. In general, all engines are quite reliable, without serious problems. The engines received a temporary type of HRM drive with a recommended replacement interval of 160 thousand km. But car service providers recommend to make the first replacement for 100-120 thousand km. The cost of a full set of HRM together with the "pompo" is about 8-12 thousand rubles. For drive belts of hinged units, it is necessary to pay about 2-3 thousand rubles. On gasoline modifications Fusion with engines of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, there are unpleasant cases of rupture of the plastic intake manifold. The cost of the new collector is about 15-25 thousand rubles. Incidents are rare and possibly related to improper operation of the ECU and fuel injectors. The engine of 1.6 liters often stalls immediately after the start and starts only from the second or third time - "double start". The reason for this behavior is unclear. Replacing candles, fuel filter and cleaning the throttle with nozzles does not help. It is noticed that the "double start" manifests itself in the off-season and with increasing humidity. Most owners have resigned themselves to paying no attention to the problem. 1.4 TDCi after 100-150 thousand.

Transmission

Three types of transmissions were installed on Ford Fusion: 5-speed mechanics with any of the engines, 5-speed “robot” with 1.4 liters of gasoline or 1.4 TDCi diesel and 1.6 TDCi, as well as a 4-speed “automatic” with 1.6 liters of gasoline. The most widespread was the 5-speed manual transmission. The box itself is reliable. The clutch disc with the squeezable bearing, installed on the conveyor, is often surrendered after 60-120 thousand km. The cost of a new disk with a basket in official services is about 13-15 thousand rubles, and the squeezed one is about 6-7 thousand rubles. In auto shops, the clutch set is cheaper: about 9-10 thousand rubles - the original disk with a basket, 3-4 thousand rubles - analogue and about 3-4 thousand rubles - the original squeezed, 2-3 thousand rubles - analogue. Many Fusion owners notice clicks when pressing the clutch pedal. Clicks emit the stem of the main clutch cylinder - a feature of the node. Many left with clicks of more than 100 thousand km, but the "main" never failed. Replacing HCC does not guarantee that clicks will not reappear soon. Often after 60-80 thousand km begins to leak the oil drive semi-axle (300-500 rubles). At the same run can sound the suspension bearing of the intermediate shaft of the right drive. The new original bearing will require about 2-3 thousand rubles, the analogue - 1-2 thousand rubles. When running more than 60-100 thousand km often becomes tight stroke of the gear lever, and it is difficult to turn on the rear and 3-4-5 gears. The situation is especially aggravated with the arrival of frost. To cure, cleaning and lubrication of the gearshift mechanism is necessary.

Walking

The first in suspension through 60-80 thousand km are handed over the front stabilizer racks (300-400 rubles). Rear shock absorbers care for more than 60-100 thousand km. The cost of the new original shock absorber is about 4-5 thousand rubles, analogue - about 2-3 thousand rubles. Front shock absorbers, as a rule, last longer - more than 80-120 thousand km. The front depreciation rack will cost 4-5 thousand rubles. The suspension levers rarely wear out to 150-200 thousand km. After 150-200 thousand km there are cases of breakage of the turn of the front spring. Steering tips and thrusts stretch up to 80-100 thousand km.

Front stage bearings run more than 60-100 thousand km (2-4 thousand rubles for an analogue), rear - more than 80-120 thousand km. The external SRUS may require replacement after 80-120 thousand km.

There are frequent cases of failure of the pump GUR after 60-100 thousand km. The harbinger of failure is the hum that appeared. The cost of the new pump at the "officials" about 14-16 thousand rubles. Due to a structural defect after 50-100 thousand km, the tubes of the GUR often begin to leak. The cost of a new tube is about 3 thousand rubles. After 100-150 thousand km there are cases of leakage of the steering rack. The cost of bulkheading rake - about 12-14 thousand rubles.

Body and salon

The quality of the paint coating of the body Fugeon is common for modern cars: it is easily scratched and overgrown with chips over time. On cars older than 4-5 years, moldings are often peeled off on the side doors. In winter, in the cold when trying to open the hood behind the grille, often breaks the grille mount. Water in the taillights may appear due to leaky seal. Because of clogged drainage holes in the rapids often accumulates water. Heating side mirrors with regular use rarely serves more than 60-80 thousand km. After 4-5 years of operation, problems often appear with opening the trunk door due to failure of the motor of the electric drive of the lock. The cost of the new castle is about 3-5 thousand rubles. But many people manage to save money by choosing a similar motor. After 100-150 thousand km, the electric motor drive of the rear windshield wiper often fails. Knocks in the rear of the Ford Fusion may appear due to a jumped out of the mounting cable parking brake, which begins to rattle on the body. Plastic in the cabin often creaks: more often the "crime" settles in the front panel and medium racks. Often, when "rolling" through irregularities, door openings creak because of seals or door locks. After 60-80 thousand km, there are scuffles on the case of the gearbox lever, steering wheel and internal door handles. There are cases of water in the salon Fusion.

• km often have problems with the operation of the robotic box due to a wire break in the electric harness, freely hanging under the unit.
• To return the box to the system, you need to find a cliff, connect the wires, isolate well and close the tourniquet with protective corrugation.
• But the performance of the servo drive can be restored: for this it is necessary to remove bullies and lubricate the knot.

• Due to the failure of the thermal fuse (100-200 rubles) can fail the speed regulator of the fan, which will start blowing only at the 4th speed, ignoring the 1-2-3 modes.
