this is on a SVT Focus....with about 11k miles on it
customer that posts here (newbe40) and bought the car at my dealer (www.buyford.com)
says he heard a slight ticking noise in the motor and couldn't figure it out, I then stated it could be the cam timing just lopeing over similar to the way all the SVT's sound. But the noise was similar than that but instead a-lot louder...
SO he brought it in to service and they pulled the head etc....They said the cams were worn (which they were) and the cylinder walls were PITTED!!!!!! AND not only that Ford won't cover it under warranty cause he has Focus Central pulley kit and due to that he over revved the motor.
Now Newbe40 doesn't drive the car THAT hard...WTF is with SVT and the build quality? I suggested he talk to someone else so he is supposed to meet with the Ford regional serv. mgr next week sometime.
But the question is, has any other SVT owners had this problem? Why has this happened? Does it sound like my service dept is trying to make extra $?
