    That cap is broken.  Half of it is stuck in the bottle.  Just need to fit a new one. As for taking to sea, I'm not sure how buoyant the Mk3 Focus is. 

  • A local Ford service centre will be able to tell you if any recalls have been done. You need to confirm if the wet belts have been changed, if not, you need to budget to get them done ASAP D

If you have EasyFuel with no separate filler cap.  Then the fuel door does not lock when the car is locked.

Hi all 😁

today i did a test mode on my screen. It gave me these errors, what could it be.DTC C100_00 1607_82 C151_00 C422_64 C140_00 C121_00 battery voltage in test mode shows 11.7 I didn't notice any problem, everything is fine. In a month, I'm going to the sea for 1500 kilometers, should I be afraid or not?

 

is this like this or should it come complete with a cover

why do you think so, now you scared me, I paid everything for the trip. my liquid is at a minimum, should I pour it to the max or should I not touch anything, just replace the cover

Cars don't float in the sea.  The joke may have been lost in translation. :smile: 

Liquid level looks ok in the picture.  But if you think it looks low there is no harm in adding some more.

Ah, I was fooled by the higher level on the right hand side below the pipe.  If the car is on flat ground, you can add some more coolant to bring it up to max.

Ах, преварио ме виши ниво са десне стране испод цеви. Ако је аутомобил на равном терену, можете додати још расхладне течности да бисте га довели до максимума. 

ok thanks, should I pour G12

G12 is a Volkswagen spec.

Ford spec is WSS-M97B44-D.  

They might both be the same.  But I would check for the correct Ford spec on the label.

greeting I would like to do some more checks on the Focus tell me should i check the transmission oil?

If it is manual transmission, there are no checks to be made.

  • Author

yes, it's a manual transmission. what else do you suggest I check before the trip, can I replace the PK belt myself, today I will check its condition, I will also look at the spark plugs I will refill the air conditioner with someone who works with it, because I noticed that it is empty

Yes, you can replace the auxiliary belt yourself.  Though they can last up to 10 years and should have been replaced at the same time as the wet timing belt anyway.

Air filter and spark plugs should be changed every 3 years.  Oil and oil filter should be changed every 1 year.  (All of those are worth doing before a long trip)

Check how much material is left on brake pads.  And how much tread is left on tyres.  (Also check tyres for cuts and bulges)

Make sure windscreen wiper blades and screen wash works effectively.

Check all light bulbs are working.

Да, можете сами заменити помоћни појас. Иако могу да трају до 10 година и ионако их је требало заменити у исто време када и мокри зупчасти каиш.

Филтер за ваздух и свећице треба мењати сваке 3 године. Уље и филтер за уље треба мењати сваке 1 године. (Све ово вреди урадити пре дугог путовања)

Проверите колико је материјала остало на кочионим плочицама. И колико газећег слоја је остало на гумама. (Такође проверите гуме за посекотине и избочине)

Уверите се да метлице брисача ветробранског стакла и прање екрана раде ефикасно.

Проверите да ли све сијалице раде.

i replaced the coolant cap. I changed the oil, the oil filter, the cabin filter, I bought new tires, everything works, I still have to refill the air conditioner. I don't know if the wet belt has been fixed, when I bought it, I was told that it had been fixed. When I changed the oil, I didn't see that there were sawdust from the belt in it, it was clean oil but black. When I look at the Pk belt, I will take pictures and send the pictures so you can give me advice on whether to change it or not

Hello, I have a few questions. I was filming 1-I have vibration when starting, is this engine mount not good?

2- something is heard, I don't know how to describe it, it was heard from the very beginning of buying the car, I noticed it after constant driving. It is not heard while driving, only at low revs, when driving in first gear or in reverse. 3-did this exhaust bracket fall off, the tire fell all the way down. 4. what is all this, I can't find it on the internet, how to activate it all. 5. Where can this oil come from?

how can i upload a video from my phone

what is this sound, did the high pressure pump go off and something is heard near the turbine. The car drives perfectly normally, there are no problems, it went on a trip of 1400 km without any problems. What is happening now?

https://files.fm/u/e4ny8pg77e

 

Everything looks and sounds perfectly normal to me.

These high pressure fuel pumps do become noisy as they are driven mechanically off the inlet camshaft via a tappet. 

On my Focus there is a cover that goes over the top of the engine which helps to quieten things. Not all 1.0's are fitted with one 

It sounds normal.

greetings before starting the trip, i checked the coolant, went to sea, came home, checked the coolant and everything was ok. I drove 1300 km to Greece and back to Serbia, everything is ok. After driving 500-600 km in the city, today I noticed that the coolant has dropped to a minimum. Should I be worried?

So the during the time in Greece it was alright?

yes, during my stay in Greece and the last 1300-1400 km it was ok. When I got back I looked and it was ok, I changed the bulb today and noticed my fluid was low. since coming home from greece i have traveled about 400-600 km

You need to check for any leaks.
