Been doin this odd humming noise since last night when I have the steering wheel in a certain position, towards the left, but it goes away when I turn it further and further left. Coming from left driver side tire/wheel. Noticed loose lugnuts on driver left wheel, but tightened them and it did only made it go down a little bit. Jacked up the car and wheel was still stiff. Hopin its just bad lugnuts or the things it screws into or bad tire placement, but is it really the wheel bearing (which im guessin it is)???? And it shouldnt be the lower control arm because it was replaced not that long ago, and it still looked in great shape. Also, the tire light is not flat tire, the sensor doesnt work. Thank you!!!!

This problem occurs in a 2018 Ford Fiesta with 1.5 TDCI engine.

Today, when checking my car, I noticed a small loss of oil. I don't know exactly why; if anyone has any idea...

The oil level is slightly above normal; I don't know if this may be related to the leak.

I bought the car recently, but the previous owner told me that he had done 15,000 km.

I don't know if this can be related; as I said, I would appreciate any help. Thank you all.

Hello all!

I was changing the right front controller arm while this spacer suddenly dropped from somewhere above the controller arm (from the engine bay??).

Where did it come from? What does it do? Do i need to reinstall it?

The car is 1999 Ford Focus Estate (DNW).

Thank you already for the help! :)

(Focus, 2014, 2L diesel, wet transmission)

So I diagnosed my problem to solenoid D stuck/ not working and car was going into limp mode. I bought the replacement part.

I’ve had the plastic transmission cover off here and then unbolted the bit of transmission to pull it off. (I apologies for lack of names, fresh DIYer and not a mechanic!) But the sensors on the back stop me from getting the clearance to pull it out to work on and swap the solenoid out. I attached a photo of the remaining cables. There’s one that’s a wiring loom that I can’t seem to remove but even then it’s going to be very close to get out.

I’m thinking there must be a better way to get access to it. Many of the videos i’ve seen on youtube the access comes from the bottom of the car, which would have been a dream, and much easier to access!

Any ideas would be very much appreciated, currently stuck!

2000 Ford Focus ZX3 Kona Edition, Automatic
Has 110k miles, has the Kona seat covers and floor mats
Does not have the bike
Curious what it is worth? Does being a special edition add any more value?

What problem is that?

I’m really upset about it, a went over a cone on the freeway and it pushed the condenser and radiator into my engine which was making it overheat amongst some other stuff. Repairs would have cost $4k so it’s totaled. She was my first car, had her for a year and a half. Only 89k miles on her, 2014 SE. Transmission had one clutch B replacement last year but other than that she did me no wrong. I won’t be getting another focus, but I loved being part of the club while it lasted.

Hi all, need some help identifying these alloys, have seen them on a lot of ST’s and want to buy some for my car… help will be much appreciated!

I picked up this focus almost a year ago. Its an 06 with under 53k miles on it. Crazy low miles for the year, and the car was taken really good care of by the previous owner (elderly woman who barely drove it). While I was getting an oil change over the weekend, I was going to ask them to replace the air filter, but said they couldn't because of this model having a "lifetime" sealed compartment for a foam air filter.

With that car having very low miles, should I be concerned about getting the filter swapped out with an aftermarket one? No lights on the dash, and my car is driving fine, but with it being 20 years old I'm sure something will give at somepoint down the line.

Any info is appreciated, thanks!!

Hey Focus group, are any of you familiar with changing out the driver's side front axle seal, specifically on the 2006-2011 models? I pulled mine out of fear of having damaged it, but now I absolutely cannot get a new one to seat flush. I'm at my wits end and really didn't want to tow it over a $20 part. So far, I've tried a seal driver kit borrowed from Advanced Auto, but that just smashed the front bevel and destroyed it. Got a new seal and made a little jig from 2" PVC pipe, but that hasn't been able to drive it in. Ordered up a 56mm impact driver and tried that after leaving an official Ford brand seal in the freezer for a half hour to hopefully shrink it, still no go. Is there some very specific approach or tool to setting it? The lack of space to work with isn't helping, either. The second pic shows the gap that I just can't close, with a horrible angle.

I just bought this 2005 ZX4 ST and it is my first ford. I got it for 800$ and it was supposed to be 1,350$, but the guy said he thinks i’m a cool guy and wants to do something good so he sold it to me for 800.

It’s got 211k miles and is a 2.3L 5 speed and i love it so far. it drives pretty good only thing is the suspension is going out and looks cosmetically not perfect lol. but it’s got cold ac and everything else works as it should.

I have a 2003 honda accord 2.4 5 speed. But man this ford has a way different feel to it and i really like it.

Do you guys think it was a good deal?

My doorstrip is hanging loose. Gemini suggest using adhesive to stick it back to the door. Anyone have experience doing that?

I got a bad drone because i got the hatchback model. Im def gonna thrown on a better muffler soon tho.
