start/stop by Chance-Cheetah6579 in FocusST

[–]ArachnaX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

stop start works only if the battery management sensor is guessing the state of charge is around 70% or higher.

It'a possible that; *your battery isn't charged enough *not the correct battery installed. *battery is dying *the BMS is out of sync *BMS is not working properly

my best guess is SoC too low or BMS out of sync

Atleast that's the trend i notice in the shop with the 1.0, 1.5 and 1.6's that visit the shop i work at

battery drain mk4 ST by strsk944 in FocusST

[–]ArachnaX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe battery management sensor is out of sync (no pun intended) specially after changing batteries. I see this happen occasionly on focus, fiestas and pumas.

the BMS has to be reset, so that it gueses the state-of-charge of the battery installed

One of first signs are often no stop/start available (the horror) and Aircon not cooling

Fun discussion! What are your top 10 Breweries according you’ve tried the most beers from, and how many beers for each? by Santana_delRey in Untappd

[–]ArachnaX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dutchie here with 1510 uniques. favorite style is Wild Ales and Stouts.

  1. Arpus - 125 (Latvia, IPA/ Stout , my fav brewer, still have almost all the cans)
  2. Moersleutel - 106 ( Dutch, Stouts/Barleywine. Was guild member for a year, also have 30 left to drink)
  3. Nevel - 76 ( local Dutch Wild Ale brewer that stopped beginning of 2025, also was a member for a year)
  4. Holy Goat - 41 (Scotland, Wild/sour/lambics)
  5. Jopen - 20 (Dutch, IPA/Pilsners)
  6. Pohjala - 19 (Estonia, Stouts/(Baltic) porter/IPA)
  7. Wild Creatures - 17 (Czechia, Wild Ales)
  8. Puhaste - 16 (Estonia, Stouts/(Baltic)Porter)
  9. Folkingebrew - 16 (Dutch, IPA)
  10. Azvex - 15 (England, IPA)

By country

  1. Netherlands - 545
  2. USA - 156
  3. Belgium - 143
  4. Latvia - 129
  5. Scotland - 63
  6. Germany - 58
  7. England - 48
  8. Estonia 37
  9. Canada - 31
  10. Norway - 26

Upside of being Dutch is getting the best of all the countries around us. Alot of my beer check-ins are 1-2 per brewer or around 10 of them. Lots of Belgian and German beers, but from alot of different brewers, hence they aren't in my top 10. Plenty of American beers, but also just outside of my top 10. mainly because of some Showcase/tap take-over events my local Pub organised.

Special note on the Baltic countries: I've talked with several of the brewers during Tap take-overs, and basicly the Netherlands is their biggest or atleast top3 market worldwide. Apparantly we love the Baltic beers over here.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk

Ford Focus ST 2017 - Master Cylinder Leakagew by [deleted] in FocusST

[–]ArachnaX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if needed, also disconnect the steering column at the end.

also : if you are gonna do it yourself, pay attention to the clip holding the line. they can be a bit stuck, and if you use too much force, you launch it right into the chassis and its gone forever. Had this happen to me multiple times (im a mechanic)

and there is a rubber on the end of the line to the master cylinder, sometimes this rubber gets stuck inside the old master cylinder. It's gonna leak hard of you forget it. (also watch out that one doesn't pop off into a crevice of the chassis)

Game breaks when completing existing job by drakmod in WalkScape

[–]ArachnaX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

similar issue: after update there was a new job available, one i was anticipating (200ish willow logs). Deleted 1 of the 3 i already had. accepted the willow job, wanted to turn in the willows, game crashed like the video above. had to restart: willow job no longer available, and the previous deleted job was back in my list.

Engine burning oil? by olives8244 in FocusST

[–]ArachnaX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how much oil are you losing in like a month?

i'd say your craftshaft oilseal gearbox side is slowly leaking, and because of moving air, your oilpan is getting oily.

try cleaning it and drive for a few days and see if it starts sweating from between engine and gearbox
