02 Focus ST170 various stuff
Hiya, new to the forums so please bear with me. Just purchased an 02 st170 with only 66k & good history to replace my old faithful re mapped mk4 golf gti 20vT. Seems to be a great car, little lacklustre in performance compared to golf, considerably better to drive though, but got a few questions if anyone has experienced similar issues ?
Noticed the gear box is very sticky, does not crunch in when going into gear, even when used enthusiastically, just needs a firm hand ? is this normal ? almost like the linkage needs lubing up ?
Noticed a slight oily smell when stationery & blower is on inside the cabin as car is ticking over ? Ive read these engines use oil for fun, but have not noticed & it doesnt seem to be using much oil ?it also seems to hunt a little under very slight acceleration ?
Finally it revs very high when cold about 1800 rpm and trying to drive smmothly on start up is awkward, very lumpy, as soon as slightly warm it runs fine ?
Other than that so far so good, car is slightly overdue annual service, any hints on plugs & oil & filters welcomed!!!
Thanks in anticipation, Cheers
