The model of the Focus transmission is 4f27e. The following are the functions of the transmission: 1. Change the transmission ratio to meet the traction needs under different driving conditions. 2. Achieve reverse driving. 3. Interrupt the power transmission to the drive wheels when the engine starts, idles, the car shifts gears, or needs to stop for power output. The following are relevant data: The 2020 Focus has a body structure of a 4-door, 5-seater sedan, with a body length of 4378mm, width of 1810mm, height of 1468mm, a wheelbase of 2705mm, a fuel tank capacity of 53L, and a curb weight of 1242kg.

When it comes to the transmission models of the Focus, I have a lot of experience to share. As a long-time Focus owner, I've driven several generations: the first-gen Focus commonly used the manual transmission model MTX-75, later switching to automatics like the 4AT or DPS6 dual-clutch transmission. Post-2010 models often feature the PowerShift dual-clutch, but be aware that PowerShift faced criticism in the North American market for jerking and reliability issues. Newer models like the 2020 Focus now use SelectShift or 8-speed automatic transmissions, which are more reliable. Identifying your car's transmission is simple—check the owner's manual or look up the model via the VIN, as there are significant differences across years. For example, the sporty ST trim often uses the B6 manual transmission. By the way, transmission maintenance is crucial; regular fluid changes can prevent major problems. In short, the Focus has seen many transmission changes, so I recommend choosing based on your driving habits. If you frequently drive long distances, an automatic transmission might be more convenient.

If you want to check the specific transmission model of a Focus, my approach is to start with the owner's manual, which usually lists the configurations. Early Focus models from the 2000s mostly used manual transmissions like the MTX-75; automatic models after 2010 commonly featured the PowerShift dual-clutch transmission, but I've heard it has jerkiness issues—I tried a friend's 2015 model and it didn't feel smooth. Newer models like the 2022 version have switched to the 8F automatic transmission, which offers much better smoothness. Don't overlook the differences between trim levels—the standard version and the performance ST version have different transmission models: the ST uses an Aisin manual transmission better suited for spirited driving. You can usually pop the hood to check for labels or visit a dealership to scan the VIN for verification. This topic makes me think about how different transmissions affect fuel efficiency—the PowerShift is efficient but less reliable, while the 8-speed automatic is more fuel-efficient and durable. I recommend researching transmission characteristics before test-driving to match your needs.

I've encountered transmission issues with the Focus, let me talk about the models. Common models like the PowerShift dual-clutch transmission used in 2010-2018 Focus models are prone to shaking or gear jumping, and repairs can be costly; older manual transmissions like the B6 in 2008 models are durable, but may develop shifting issues over time. Checking your transmission is simple: look at the vehicle's VIN or service records, as different models require different maintenance. For example, manual transmissions need regular clutch adjustments. To expand, transmission models are related to drivetrain configurations. Front-wheel-drive models mostly use PowerShift, while rear-wheel-drive is rare but the ST version offers manual options. In short, if your car has problems, get it checked by professionals early - the model determines the repair solution.

What documents are needed for car pickup?

You need to bring your ID card, a copy of your ID card, and your driver's license. No other documents are required. The documents and receipts you should have after purchasing a new car include: the vehicle registration certificate, the invoice from the purchase, the insurance policy, the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle qualification certificate, the purchase tax receipt, the annual inspection, and the compulsory insurance label. Precautions for car pickup: First, visually inspect the body paint to check for scratches, spots, dents, and wear. Observe the paint under sufficient sunlight to see if there is any color difference. Open the door and push it from several angles to let light shine from different directions to check if the sheet metal is smooth and if there are any signs of repair. Check the vehicle nameplate. The car nameplate is located on the side of the driver's door or in the engine compartment. Pay attention to whether the manufacturing date is too far in the past. Generally, if the time exceeds six months, the car is likely to be a stock car or a test drive car. Also, the information on the vehicle nameplate should match the vehicle qualification certificate. Check the windshield. As shown in the figure, the numbers represent the most recent production year, and the dots represent the production month. If the dots are on the left side of the number, it means production in the first half of the year. Subtract the number of black dots from 7 to get the specific year. If the dots are on the right side of the number, it means production in the second half of the year. Subtract the number of black dots from 13 to get the specific year. Check the basic functions of the vehicle, such as whether the windows can be raised and lowered normally, whether the air conditioning is cooling, whether there is any odor from the vents, whether the functions of the central console are operating normally, whether the wipers are working properly, whether the sunroof can open and close normally, etc. Test run the vehicle. If you are allowed to start the engine, observe whether the engine idles smoothly, whether the steering wheel shakes noticeably, whether the front and rear seats vibrate noticeably, and whether there is any noticeable noise inside the car, etc.

Should the Old Tiguan Use 95 or 92 Octane Gasoline?

The old Tiguan should use 95 octane gasoline, as this is the fuel grade officially recommended in the vehicle's user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, the old Tiguan also has this information indicated on the fuel tank cap. The fuel grade can usually be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98 octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the required gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane fuel. Factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the old Tiguan occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after the tank is empty. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane fuel, using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane fuel, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the fuel may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke, creating resistance before the spark plug fires. This resistance can make the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.
