Default Info on Focus DEISELS PLS

At the moment i have a 206 hdi running about 130bhp, to take it up to the next leval (about 160bhp) is guna cost about 1500quid, but bound to run over, so prob about 2k.

Now im thinking that maybe it would be cheaper to swap it in for a different car to save money in the long run.

IT MUST BE A DEISEL

SO pls could i have some basic info on the Focus's as i know next to nothing about them.

Whats the highest powered deisel engine they do as standard?????

How tunable are they?????

Thanks for help

Peter

The old/current focus TDCi is 115bhp.

The 'All new focus' diesels are upto 136bhp.

I think i would get the same bloke who re mapped my 206 to do n e new car i get (if i do)

That made 87bhp standard and made 130.5bhp after a remap, thats just about 50% increase

What are the focus deisels as standard????

The blue 306 that was in Performance gti is the blokes who re mapped my 206 for me.

He is the derv dr (www.thedervdoctor.co.uk)

Fuel wise my car happily averages 43mpg all day every day around town, and 47mpg+ on motorways etc etc doing 80-90

I lent my car to my mum for the day once and when i get it back she had been averaging 54mpg

Are any of the old shape focus's 6 speed?????
