Got this 2015 (135k miles) for free from a family member. Put new alternator in and did an oil change. Needs new tires, but running good now. Is there anything else I should know/look out for? Having to use this as my daily driver as my other vehicle is having some issues I can't afford to fix right now.

Mechanical Help High Temp Warning

2016 Ford Focus Ecoboost 1.0 Liter Hatchback Trend. I got back from work to head out quickly again upon switching the car one I was presented with a high temp warning notice as shown in the video.

First thing I check was the coolant and it’s perfect at its Max line. I also recently did a full service plus timing wet belt change and a new water pump. Did that massive service a month ago. And now I am getting this. After multiple switch off and ons. It’s back to normal again. The fans kick in after idling it and revving it a bit. The temp gauge sits on half point.

I also replaced the thermostat housing two years ago so I don’t think it could be that. I do everything genuine at ford dealers.

I just spent and arm and leg to do the timing on this car and everything that comes with it I can go back now to the dealer again and break another leg. 😞 any ideas what this is? A bad sensor maybe?

Replaced all 4 spark plugs maybe 2 years ago, and since then the car has been running fine. I recently discovered cylinder 1 has oil coming into the well? Not too entirely sure what would cause any of this. I did however do my valve cover gasket back in April but since then I haven’t seen any oil leaks or anything of that nature. Any thoughts or advice would be great!

Mechanical Help 2013 Focus ST 2.0 rear sub frame (UK)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, not sure if I am looking in the wrong places but I seem to be struggling to find a rear sub frame for my focus that isn't overpriced or out of stock. I also took a look at breakers but some of them seem in pretty bad shape and almost cost the same as new ones.

Tried googling the part number BV61-5K067-DB.

The questions I have are:

Is the subframe interchangeable with other subframes?

Recommendation on online stores that might have it ? (UK)

Thank you in advance

Hey ladies! I’m hoping to meet more women who are into cars, especially other Focus ST owners. If you’re comfortable sharing, how old are you, what general area are you from, and what year and model of ST do you drive? I’d love to hear about your cars and connect with fellow car girls!

No check engine codes, and it’s not rubbing on the fender liner or things like that, drives like it should, any idea what it could be?

Question Ground cable/terminal corrosion?

2 Upvotes

I'll drop a picture when I'm able to but just curious if there's an obvious cause of the issue. Seems to cover the BCM module attached to it as well, it's less the terminal and more the cable end + box attached. Thanks for any input!

Mechanical Help Took my car to a shop to replace the CMC and got met with an engine fault that I’m suspecting is due to an aftermarket part. It is also now throwing a code for the shutters that I have had off since 2021 without any issues. Need advice and guidance.

Couldn’t find what seems to be a consensus on how well the 2000’s Focus’s tend to last. My wife has owned the car for about 12 years, but I’ve been using it as my work commuter since January. She’s always kept up on regular maintenance, and hasn’t had any major fixes that needed done on it. This year was the first we had several things come up that needed fixing (listed in the picture). Is there a realistic length of time left on it? It’s a loud, really car with almost 239,xxx miles on it and I’m planning on driving it till it completely quits.
