G19MSN Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Folks i'm new to the FOC and posting so here goes, today i picked up my 2011 Focus Titanium 1.6(125) after driving my 2007 ford fiesta for 5years which was great but here's the question. does the Mk3 come with an engine cover as my fiesta did? The picture is of the focus's engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrex Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Mine has one, but mine is a diesel. I would have thought your's should have one... Having said that, in the current MK7 Fiesta, some of the 1.6 diesels have them and some don't. They aren't strictly necessary though.

artscot79 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 i looked around as the engines the same as my mk2 and there doesnt seem to be any covers even available i spoke to ford and they said it was a no as well to be honest with the bonnet insulation and undertray its not necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfordman Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 My 1.6(125) doesn't have an engine cover either, which did surprise me a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 i was told its to do with heat dissipation from the engine as the manifold sits at the rear i must admit after a good drive the rear part of the rocker cover is noticeable hotter than the front and thats the reason the tivct sits angled unlike a standard 1.6 im not sure how much truth there is to that the fiesta from what i was told had one fitted as they did not fit undertrays or under bonnet insulation again never having had one i cant say if thats just horse crap they told me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G19MSN Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 i can see the point of not needing one but when you look for the first time you think hey where is the engine cover lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefc Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I thought the same when i picked my 2011 zetec up. Looks really strange without a cover, i would fit one if there was one available but artscot79 has the reason they are not fitted as standard or as an extra.

G19MSN Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 My 1.6(125) doesn't have an engine cover either, which did surprise me a bit. yeah i was also the same thats y i asked on here before going back up to the garage and making a muppet of my self. As i've only own my car for a matter of hours i'm very impressed with the car as a whole how are you liking your focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Sloan Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 My 2012 titanium hasn’t got one either I was surprised the first time I popped the bonnet has something to do with heat generated by this engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
