My Internet searches are not coming up strong. Does anyone have/seen a front strut brace for MK3.5 2.0 diesel, please?

bumping topic as people have been on their holidays whilst I've been sat here refreshing this thread all alone (violin)

Google is showing loads, just search Ford Focus MK3 Strut brace.

Petrol & Diesel engine bays are the same

Are they definitely?  If the engine is a slightly different shape or pipework routes are different, they can foul on a strut brace.  I haven't looked for one for years but the diesel ones were different on a couple of early 2000's cars I modified.

I'm not 100% sure, no.

But providing you confirm the returns process is good I'd order it and see if it fits.

If it does, result, if it doesn't, send it back

I doubt there's any issues though

I'm actually finding that Google *isn't* that conclusive, honestly. Petrol ones exist (ST 250) but not anything seems definite for 2.0 TDCI.

Like I said, check the returns policy and try it.

I reckon it'll fit fine
