I found repair videos for acutator and clutch codes where they spray the clutch forks with wd40. Tcm repair video was a tcm from junk yard and a flash reprogram from mechanic. I just have to confirm the starter. Tried tapping the starter. Barley tapping through airbox and hoses.
I have a 2012 manual and it has been amazing. About to do the motor mount because I have a little vibration happening but other than that it's like new.
@@danielsingleton785 When the engine mount wears out, youll hear vibrations at idle mainly. You may feel vibrations while driving. I've got videos on how to replace it, either the whole mount or just the insert
@@BigBensCarsAndCyclesis it only that mount that you pointed to that usually becomes bad or the others as well? And at what mileage roughly it happens?
If your synchros sound like they're grinding then you have wear to them and should get a used low mileage transmission. And install a new clutch and apply component kit in it before install
Over the last week had the engine light come on with Engine malfunction warning... and soon after reduced power... codes read related to DPF problem.. Putting fuel in (used the V power diesel from shell) the above problems got resolved. must of filled up with a batch of bad diesel. However following the car driving with normal power no warning lights.. the coolant fan unit remains constantly on and the trip computer fuel information (to empty, average fuel consumption etc) does not display (except when static on switching the engine on) just dashes... There are code errors no warning lights the errors being U 0401 64 2 Invalid data from ECU + PCM... Wiped the codes off but each time they re-appear same with same symptoms.., can you help me?
2012 ford focus se flex fule here. In all a reliable car, but the transmission issues can definitely be seen and so many recalls, currently waiting on a fuel leak repair.. Wish i would have got a manual😢
2014 ford focus automatic and now the power shuts off while driving it. Engine still runs but the dashboard is off, locks won’t work, blinker won’t work, and the gauges are all off (gas, rpm, mph). I could stop and go but once I shut the car off it had to be jump started and after driving for a minute or two, did the same thing. Tested the battery, starter, and alternator and they’re all great so I don’t know what’s causing this. Guy at oreillys said it’s probably some wiring to the start where the key goes in and to shake the key around to help the signal to the battery take action so it keeps the charge going while driving. But he’s also not a mechanic so I don’t know what to do. Any ideas?
Mine is a ( 2016 Ford Focus ) I've been having Transmission Shuddering at take off, after driving it for more than 30 minutes, or it will shudder after making a few stops at certain number of places - shutting it off at each place, then starting it to go to the next place. After doing that a few times, it will begin Shuddering at each take off when the Light turns green. Then, it smoothes out
Clutch shudder is something you're going to get on these cars. You can either drive it hard once in a while to mitigate the shudder, or replace the clutch and forks. I've got videos for all that
The purge canister was messed up on mine recently it kept dying on me but kept restarting back up the check engine light was on and it shook when I got gas I’m pretty sure the canister got clogged cuz I was leaving my gas tank on almost empty for a couple months and that’s when my problems started but also u can find all of these and others that ford knows will most likely go out in the paperwork where the warranty part is
Yeah the canister can get saturated with fuel and fail if the purge valve leak gets really bad or ignored. if your cars running rich because of a purge valve leak, it's possible it'll need the canister too
Ford focus 2012 180k miles looks well taking care of for my area the shop replaced the clutch already would this be a money pit or run with regular maintence
I have a 2018 ford focus and it’s making noise, I’m pretty sure it the motor mounts, is that something I need to get replaced with urgency? And how can I confirm that’s the problem.
Normally the engine mount doesn't fall completely apart, but I wouldn't put it off too long. You can make sure that's the issue by looking at it, see if the rubber is contacting the lower part of the mount which bolts to the frame. You can also jack up the engine until the mount isn't under pressure, to see if the noise goes away
Where are those Ford focus automatic transmission videos lol. I recently had the car stuck in D. Had to access the neutral lever under the shifter to push it into a parking space. Lever went back and its back in park and the D on the SCREEN disappeared after disconnecting negative for 15 min. Now its back to no crank before the transmission issues after that. I'm guessing its a starter right now. One other video said it was that grounding cable in the corner. Starter WAS clicking and making weird sounds like starter was opening and closing and i was getting lucky with starting after closing sound. Now its power up sound to the starter sound. No clicking anymore. No crank. I wonder if the transmission is in Drive and it thats why it wont crank. ....... Damn. 2014 ford focus hatchback. Acutator codes. Clutch codes. TCM codes. Do I have to flash reprogram if i switch TCM
You're lucky cause, I have a manual 2012 SE too, and that piece of 💩 is driving crazy cause when I fix one part another part goes bad lol.😅 What is doing now is that when I try to crank it up all power shuts off😂
THANK YOU! And as expected, such non bullship content gets no views or comments...... BECAAAAUUUSSE this is NOT where the women are. Correct me if I'm wrong.
There are also videos online of how to reset the transmission computer without any tools to potentially get your gears back temporarily until the big problem gets fixed
You just gained another subscriber. Excellent quick video. Like a real G
I got a 2015 Ford focus se manual back in 2018. Still have it now with over 178k miles and still on the original factory clutch!
Great car!

Every Mk3s boot will also begin to leak. Straight into the fuse box.
I feel called out for making the mistake of not buying a manual.
Why does my automatic sound like a 5speed scrubbing gears when shifting
If your synchros sound like they're grinding then you have wear to them and should get a used low mileage transmission. And install a new clutch and apply component kit in it before install
lol all these happened to mine and now it’s the trans I love ford but not when I gotta replace something I can’t afFORD

What causes the hatchback to keep opening after driving already replaced the actuator with camera
Did it start doing that with the new actuator
Very true mine is the most reliable car ever
How I can fix the code from catalitic . Do I have to replace the sensor?
P0131 replace upstream o2. P0420 replace the cat

Thank you.
I'm at Coleman Taylor Transmissions right now; having a Transmission Diagnostic done on it.
What about the pcv valve ? Ive replaced the purge valve last year and tail pipe still emits gas vapours
Hi, I'm not aware of a pcv valve on a focus. Any fault codes? P0420?

There was a recall on that part witch is back by the fuel tank will fix your problem I had it done on mine
Ford focus 2012 180k miles looks well taking care of for my area the shop replaced the clutch already would this be a money pit or run with regular maintence
It would be a good car. May need occasional small fixes
Can you tell me when did you change the clutch (km) ? As I will visite a 2012 focus manual soon. Thanks!
hopefully my 2012 manual se doesnt develop any of these soon ! only 87k on the dash
Heheeeee yes my 70k freshly installed trans needs rebuilt but ima slap sumn actuators in it
Do a tcm rest and call it a day 😢
To start the transmission it self is a pain on the peach 🍑
Got the cat code today lol
No big deal. I made a video for that recently ruclips.net/video/ne6mc0Dwzsw/видео.html
Is the catlitic converter fault worth fixing
If an o2 spacer doesn't get rid of the p0420, then it's time for a cat

yes, you have to reflash for the tcm when replacing
so should not buy these models ?? 🙃
I would avoid the dual clutch automatic. Can you drive manual?
They're excellent cars otherwise
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles yes i can drive manual, which model should i get ?
Any 2012 to 2018 will be a great reliable car for you, with only occasional minor cheap issues, ive got videos for keeping up on them.
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thanks a lot, i’ll go for ford and any suggestion on polo 1.2 ?
So glad I have a manual focus 2013 se 😅
You've got yourself a darn good car there!
I have an automatic I’m going to sand the power cord that goes to the battery hopefully she runs smoother if not WD40 is next 😈

Basically get a manual ford focus
before the year 2012 😉👍
Can't go wrong there. Duratec or zetec. Not SPI
Literally have every one of these problems rn
Sorry to hear! At least they're easy fixes. Then it'll be ready for a lot more miles (except the transmission possibly)
Exactly me too just failed inspection

Check for code P090C, if it's there replace both clutch actuator motors. (Don't buy super cheap ones)
