Hey all! Found a resourceful cheaper loophole in fixing leaky heater hoses at the firewall. I have a 2012 SE that blew its heater core, once replaced I found I broke the awful quick connectors at the firewall, so they were leaking. The Lisle tool for removing the quick connectors makes it easy...

Hello all so this is my first post on Focus Fanatics I hope I get the formatting correct, I recently bought a 2002 Ford Focus Wagon and its been amazing to own, I drove 4 hours round trip for this car and loved every second of it, but as of late ive been having intermittant "overheating"...

Hey Everyone, So I am having a coolant leak on 12 SE Hatch with 198k, (The miles are very high so I get that things are probably getting to the point where they are just worn out and need replacing.) The car is going into the dealership on Wednesday for a pressure test and for a door latch...

Looking for the cable that plugs in to the block heater on zetec equipped models. Thanks!

Ok, so I cracked a coolant hard line in my '01 ZX3 getting onto the freeway earlier. (The plastic piece that sits above the radiator and has 3 connections on it.) I went to the closest Ford dealership, picked up a new one, replaced it on the side of the on-ramp, and the reservoir was empty...
