  4. Ford Focus Builds & General Showroom
    I have a 2007 Focus ZX4 ST. The car has 191K miles and appears to have suffered a troubled past life. It consumes excess fuel, leaks, doesn't idle down correctly, and supposedly has a bored out cylinder, which is surprising given the durability of these things. Everyone I know has been...
  5. MK3 Focus
    Hello! Thoughts welcome. I’ve owned my 2012 Titanium since new. 110K miles. Last year my coolant reservoir leaked, so it was replaced and refilled. Not sure if it’s related but if I sit idling for over 5-10 mins my heat warning triggers and I see the coolant temp gauge go up to H. But when I...
  6. MK3 Focus
    I have an intermittent overheating problem. This has happened (1) when in stop and go highway traffic; and (2) idling the car while waiting for the car wash. This goes away when I turn off the engine and wait a couple of minutes; re-start the car and everything is OK. Coolant is topped off...

    Hey! I have 1999 1.6 DAW Hatchback. I've had some problems with the engine on and off where it's been losing power and stalling at lights and even sometimes when approaching roundabouts and slowing down fairly quickly. Had the engine and brake lights come on back and forth but also the airbag...
  8. DURATEC Performance (2008-2011)
    Hey guys, I'm looking to squeeze a few more mpgs out of my MK2 (beyond things like weight reduction) if it's financially worth it. And I discovered that the Duratec 20 in the Mk2 was modified and used as the base engine in the mk3. Ford added TI-VCT, and increased the compression ratio. I'm...

  10. MK3 Focus
    I own a 2013 focus se. Last week my car decided not to turn on. I could turn the key over and over, all the lights/radio/ect worked but the engine would not turn over. My battery is still good showing 12.4v. Randomly it would work and turn on but mostly not. My dad then cleaned the battery...

    Hi team, I own a 2016 Ford Focus ST, 1.5L auto with 75,000 kms. Up to date and logged servicebook Recently I had my car towed due to the engine vibrating violently (thus shaking the car) and very poor acceleration at low RPMs. The Ford mechanic quoted that the crankcase vent oil separator...
  12. SVT Performance (2002-2004)
    Hello fellow Fanatics, So, it's been a while. Here is a quick rundown on my 02. I just rolled 135K on the car. A little bit ago, it was struggling to start, so I replaced the alternator, starter and battery, which, solved that. Then the car developed a misfire and I ended up replacing plugs...
  13. MK3 Focus
    Hi, new guy here. Bought a 2.0L 2014 SE with the 5 speed. Shortly after buying I was driving with the windows down and noticed a scraping sound coming from the passenger front. Sounds like that light scraping you get when pads are low, only it’s at at a dead stop. Popped my hood and it appears...

    So ever since I installed my VF engineering Poly Mounts (Engine/passenger and Transmission/Driver) I've had an issue with engine misalignment. This was most pronounced when I went to change my dogbone mount and noticed the entire engine was at the wrong angle to fit the mount in properly and I...
  18. ZETEC Performance (2000-2004)
    I have a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 auto with the 2.0 DOHC Zetec engine. The car is running horribly and a very wrong IAT reading points to the MAF sensor. I was trying to find a replacement MAF sensor and I just keep find more and more confusing information. The MAF sensor that is currently on the car...
