In reply to SPARKYMATT I have just purchased a 2023 focus ST line and the access to the tyre monitor is totally different. When you press the three line button you get a choice of 4 screens, digital speedo, fuel economy, eco coach and calm screen. So, how do you access the tyre monitor? Answer, you select calm screen then use the small "ok" button going up and down then you will see the tyre monitor and oil life icons and the option to update them. So the handbook is totally wrong.

Someone with the right equipment should pressure test the system with nitrogen gas first. This will show if there are any leaks without leaking expensive refrigerant gas. If it will hold pressure, they should refill with the refrigerant gas and a dye which glows green under UV light. This will show any smaller leaks that were not obvious before. Some very small leaks can be cured by adding a purpose made sealant to the system. Has the AC system ever worked while you have had the car? If it has been low on gas for a while, it may work fine at first then start to leak once it starts being used again. The lubricating oil in the system helps to prevent the seals failing. That is exactly what happened to mine when I first bought it. The system worked once re-gassed, but started to leak from the compressor shaft main seal after a few months. The same place that did the re-gas fitted a used compressor that I bought from eBay. It has worked as it should ever since.  

On a 2023 Focus, and maybe later models, if you are trying to find the tyre monitor and oil life  DO NOT follow what it states in the handbook. It does not matter whether you have the 4.2 or the 12.3 screen they are both wrong!! When you press the menu button on the steering wheel you will be faced with four options: digital speedo, fuel economy, eco coach and calm screen. No information icon or settings icon like you would expect, and as per the manual. What you have to do is select the calm screen then move the "ok" button up or down and you will gain access to the tyre monitor, oil life, trip computer screen and auto stop/start. Hope this helps owners who are thinking of buying a late Focus. Maybe Ford should be notified of this amendment.

Hi, driving my galaxy last week and engine malfunction lamp came on. Check fault codes and p20cd was stored. I replaced the exhaust vaporizer injector as it was partly blocked. I have still got p20cd stored. I have checked fuses all ok. I understand they have problems with the wiring to the injector and priming pump has anyone had this problem? Thanks Darren

as above.  Just drive as you normally do and it should settle down after a bit.
