Hey people. Sunday night I took the mrs car down to get fish n chips only to get back in the car and it wouldnt start. Would not turn over but had battery life. We towed it home and got a mechanic to have a look as I thought it may be the starter motor. Well the mechanic told my Mrs that the car cant be a 2006 focus Zetec as they stop making them in 2005
 Would anyone know if this is true and is their a way to find out if it is a zetec focus... He thinks its the starter motor and he said its not a zetec motor and if it was a zetec the starter motor wouldnt fail. Would anyone know what price a new starter motor is as he qutoed us a price and I dont wanna get ripped off. Thanks Marc |

I've got an 06 LS focus Zetec. The made the Zetec as a model of the focus until the LV focus a couple of years ago.
But this is where it can get confusing. The (mk1) LR focus had a Zetec motor & in 2005 with the (mk2) LS/LT/LV focus had a Duratec motor. There is also 2 versions of the Duratec motor. The 2L 4cyl & the 2.5L 5cyl turbo that is used in the XR5 & RS. Hope this helps. |

The answer is yes and no...
In the MK1 (LR) Focus a Zetec actually had a different engine fittingly called the Zetec. in the MK2 (LS/LT/LV) Focus, Zetec no longer meant it had a different engine but is just an indicator of the equipment level |

Your Zetec is just a badge, not related to the engine. You have a 2.0L Duratech engine.
You can confirm build details on : http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegS...C8D07.fcvas503

Got to replace mine. My zetec has only done 64k km and the starter is gone. Tarnishes my faith in Ford.

Replaced myself with used excellent genuine unit bought online for $60 plus $15 shipping. Sure beat $680 new from Ford. Problem fixed. Rather simple job.
