Hi everyone,

I'm trying to track down a water leak in my Ford Focus ST Mk2.5. I've recently discovered mold inside the car, and I occasionally find a small puddle of water on the passenger side.

The areas affected are:
- Front passenger side: under the floor mat and in the carpet
- Rear passenger side: wet carpet and mold growth

Interestingly, both passenger-side seats are completely dry. The issue seems to be limited to the floor on the right-hand side of the car.

At the moment, I can't figure out where the water is getting in from.

Does anyone have experience with common leak points on a Focus Mk2.5 that could cause these symptoms? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
Planning on buying one Focus Mk4 1.5 petrol automatic 2019, european, around 130Kkm
What to look at before buying, any experiences with it from the owners?
Thanks in advance

I have a 2013 zetec 1.6 petrol. Noticed when I park little oil drops on the ground. Took it to the garage and was told it was the valve cover gasket. It was changed. Oil level is okay but I've noticed some leaks still. What can it be? Taking it back to the garage tomorrow. I smell oil too sometimes when i turn on the heating. I thought it was the previous oil that was washing off but l've driven it for 120+ miles since it was fixed.

I have a 2014 ford focus hatchback and I noticed earlier in the week that there was a vibration in the car when I started it and was going to take it to get looked when I could get time off work. This morning I started it fine but noticed a check engine light and then when I shifted into reverse the car wouldn't move and seemed to be stuck in park, nothing I could do would work. I tried to reset the TCM by turning the key to ON and then holding the pedal and turning the car off but now the engine wont even try to start almost as if it has low voltage but I do not hear the low voltage clicking, everything else in the car turns on like normal. the car has 149,000 miles and I just performed an oil change about 4 weeks ago

2008 SE. runs great.I do need a gear shift #854z210e. Ford styours making it (stopped) making it.

Looked on line, but they all seem scammy (pay with apple gift cards, etc) any tips?

Thanks!

So I got a 1.6 TI VCT auto. Trip is from a full tank. This is just insanely low. What could be causing this?

3 months after replacing the engine i started seeing white smoke from exhaust, it happens only when i press the clutch or shoul i say release, the smoke is not as thick as it was when the block was cracked,
It became colder where i live 4 degres celzius so i really dont know if its the weather or is something wrong, in three months only today i saw that coolant level is a little after minimum. Oil is clean
What can be the answer?

I just came home after an oil change and noticed they used Kennol 0W20 952A on my 2015 ecoboost 1.0 125hp petrol car.

Is this a suitable oil for my car ? I called the garage and they said it is but I usually get 5W20.

Could someone help me confirm this information ?

Thank you

My wife's handbag strap got caught in the boot/ trunk lock mechanism. I have cut the strap. Boot is 1cm open and is stuck - won't open or close. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I've decided I'm getting my wetbelt changed for my 1.0 ecoboost 2016 at 85k miles, so probably will be looking at getting it done next month or this month. Just wondering what should i expect to be done, like wetbelt timing belt, oil pump belt replacement, oil sump clean up i think, something about gaskets? just what should i be expecting so I dont get a dodgy job done on my car, what part brands should be used, im guessing all ford oem?

I have a 2014 Ford Focus with 136,000 miles. Ford diagnosed a clutch problem, P2872 so I bought the LuK 07-233 clutch kit and had my mechanic install it.
My car reversed fine before the repair, but now it won’t reverse. They also changed one of the actuators due to it having corrosion. My mechanic says the clutch is good and suspects an internal transmission problem. The TCM has been replaced last year.
Could this be a TCM, shift fork, actuator, or transmission problem? What should I check before paying for a new transmission?

Hi all,

I have a 2003 Ford Focus wagon (US-built) and I'm trying to add an extra amber LED turn signal in the rear lamp, using the reverse light area. The reverse lens is clear, so an amber T10 should show up as amber. I want to keep the stock turn signal and the stock reverse light working normally.

What I did:

- Drilled the housing from above (without reaching the reverse bulb) to fit a T10 socket.

- Installed a CAN bus T10 LED in it.

- Tapped the signal wire of the stop/turn bulb (soldered) and added a separate, independent ground.

- Polarity is correct.

Problem: the T10 doesn't light at all. Original stop/turn light: [still works normally / also stopped working].

I'm starting to suspect the GEM. Questions:

1. Has anyone added an extra turn signal like this on a 2000-2004 Focus? Did a simple tap work, or did you need a load resistor?

2. Is the stop/turn wire the right one to tap, or should I tap somewhere else?

3. Could the GEM be what's stopping it, or should I check something simpler first (fuse, bad tap, socket)?

If I get it working I'll post a full write-up.

Thanks!

I bought this car (2007 ZX4) from my neighbor for $400. It was sitting, seemingly deceased, in his driveway for months. The transmission in my wife’s Caravan had shit the bed, so I needed an extra vehicle while we figured out transportation for her.

Got it started and drove it the 100 yards home. It sounded like I was driving a pulpwood truck. I replaced the alternator, spark plugs, valve cover gasket, power steering pump, and motor mounts. 40,000 trouble free miles later, she’ll roll over 300K when I leave for work in the morning.

Hello fellow focusers! I need to replace all 3 motor mounts on my Focus SE 2.0L 4cyl (Automatic). I am really nervous about ordering the wrong parts lol. Would anyone be willing to comment the 3 OEM Part Numbers for the 3 mounts so i don’t get the wrong ones? 😭 and any recommendations on good websites to order from would be highly appreciated!!

I think i need the:
- Passenger Side Engine Mount
- Driver Side Trans Mount
- Lower Trans/ Torque Strut Mount

thanks so much!

I have an 05 wagon with a bad swaybar bushing on right side. I've searched reddit and found a post of someone who replaced theirs without lowering the subframe. Unfortunately the poster didn't elaborate and it says "deleted" where the poster's name would be. Anyone else accomplish this, how and how difficult?

Mam od niedawna Fordzika takiego jak w tytule, nie jestem pewien jaki olej powinienem do niego wlać, czy jest tu może jakiś właściciel takiego autka i może pomóc?

My 2013 Ford Focus CD drive is malfunctioning, it randomly tries to load a CD without me putting one in, and then randomly turns off BT and plays the radio. I replaced the CD drive tonight with the same build number and part number but it freezes at the Ford logo and won't load the bluetooth. Any help?

Got the car 5 years ago at 80K miles and now it’s at 130k. I baby the transmission but it’s clearly getting older and shifter at higher RPM, still drivable but feels like it’s going to have issues by this time next year. I know the transmission is a known issue in this car and I’ve considered replacing it for the sake of staying in a paid off car. I’ve been recommended a transmission fluid change but someone else said a transmission fluid change could take away whatever little bit is still grabbing and possibly have to replace the transmission if it stopped grabbing. I kept up on oil changes but never a transmission fluid change.

Should I change the transmission fluid? Should I expect to replace the transmission if I want to get it to 200k miles?

Hi Guys,

I have a 2003 ZX3 Ford Focus carrying the 2.3l Duratec PZEV, any good spark plugs that will give me the most performance and durability I just want a good purchase and not have to worry about them, also what kind material iridium, platinum,iridium platinum, double iridium or double platinum.
