Il admit im poor but I want a exhaust to hear the car more and for it too sound better got any recommendations on a budget

So far the only major thing I’ve done is this short ram intake (K&N) and I was looking to want to do more. I have also went through with a muffler delete and soon potentially replacing the resonator with a Cherry Bomb resonator. I want to do more both cosmetically & reliability. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome :)

I will say however, I have the Automatic DCT with no prior servicing & not to jinx anything I have yet to experience any issues with it. At the current mileage, is it worth maybe doing a drain and fill on it or just leaving it alone?

2013 Focus SE, need to replace the front door actuator. One description says:

Front Driver Door Lock Actuator for Ford Focus 12-14 with Anti-Theft Package

What is the anti-theft package? How do I know if I need that? If I don't need or have that in my car, would this one not work? The price difference is minimal between with and without anti-theft.

I am wondering if I could add fog lights onto the car. I think it’d look nicer. I wouldn’t expect there to be any options for wiring though. Has anyone added fog lights onto a 2013 Ford Focus SE? Any easy kits?

I live in Texas and I think the heat may have melted the glue that was holding it. Anyone know how to fix it?

My original radiator from 2012 finally blew after 338,000 miles at 11 pm leaving the girlfriends house like it was destined to😂

I got the aluminum replacement but after removing the coolant overflow hose that connects i belive the thermostat and radiator to the overflow the line snapped

I bought 3 separate replacements from 3 separate brands and they are all junk

Extremely frustrating because they are 40-60$ a piece

Even the motorcraft one wouldn't hold a seal

I finally got so fed up I rigged something up myselfand after driving 100 miles I was very pleased not to have any leaks

Does anyone else have issues finding a suitable part and maybe I was just unlucky 🤷‍♂️

Apologies, I know zero about cars. Check engine light came on today, solid amber on a 2020 Focus 1.5 Diesel. Coincidentally was only serviced last week. I rang the dealership and they said from their end it looks like a nox sensor problem.

I have zero knowledge to be able to tell if this is a big problem or minor one, an expensive one or cheap one. Car is still driving fine. Light came on as I was driving. There is nearly 60k km on the car. Only really use it for commuting to work.

I have a 2016 1.0 Ecoboost trend, UK version. Every morning when I start my car up it makes this sound. For the rest of the day it’s gone.

Check link for audio.

Hi all.
Went to change my inner tie rods today and was greeted with a really strong odour of burnt rubber and found that a metal seal has come loose from the steering rack. Have been googling all night but can't find any info regarding this. Have also checked the service manuals available online and have had no luck.

Car is a 2012 focus 2.0 tdci mk2
electric power steering so no power steering fluid from what I've gathered.

Any advice on what to do would be very much appreciated!
Cheers

For context: I have ford focus 2019 1.5 ecoboost. Could you please examine the sound a bit please. I had o2 sensor replacement about 2-3 days ago. Engine never sounded like this before.

Engine fault and ESP lights are on does anyone know why? The mechanic can't figure it out. The car runs perfectly and drives well.

Hey people, I need some help diagnosing this noise coming from my car. I have had this car for 2 years now so I know it isnt the normal loud engine ticking that people always ask about.

It sounds more like creaking mqybe pistons valves being destroyed(i know nothing about cars haha). The video doesn't do it justice, its extremely loud. Loud enough that people turn and stare at stoplights and when im in parking lot.

Happens immediately after start up. Noise is present at parking lot speeds but goes away after going about 20 mph. Turning the wheel when parked or at slow speeds doesn't increase or decrease noise.

I had a 2012 focus before this with bad engine mounts and shaking that would quiet when i put car in neutral and this sounds nothing like that and also doesn't go away in neutral.

I recently had to get Roadside Assistance because my battery died and they put in a new battery, immediately got a red transmission fault warning that went away. Then this issue popped up days later, might be coincidence.

Any ideas??

Thank you for your time

I have a 2017 Focus with an MTX75 5-speed. Running Motorcraft or Motul is not an option because of availability.

I'm wondering if anybody has experience running the different viscosities of Redline. They are all GL-4. I currently have the Redline MTLV because it matches the 70w75 viscosity in the Motorcraft DCT fluid, but it feels a bit thin. Earlier focuses with the same MTX75 transmission use Ford synthetic manual transmission fluid that they don't make anymore. Does anybody have any experience with the higher viscosities?

Please don't just suggest using Ford Xt-11-qdc or Motul dct, thats not what my question is asking

Hello!

I own a 2017 Ford Focus MK3.5 (ST- Line) and need your help. I damage the front lip and decided to replace it.

Taking the lip off was no issue as I just had to remove two clips and pull. Yet I did break 2 little tabs keeping it in place.

I now need to fasten the new one but can't seem to find the right angle or right way to do it...

I'm afraid of breaking more tabs and messing up.

Could any of you advice me on how to fasten it?

Online search has been hell since that type of front bumper with that specific lip seems rather rare.
