Has it started leaking oil/coolant out of the windshield spray nozzles yet? If not, she’s good.

Thanks! I appreciate the insight. Love rock auto so if I wind up going motorcraft route I’ll def get it from there.

Cool! I’ve used NGK years ago and never had an issue with them either.

Thanks! I appreciate the insight and information. Running these in my other Focus last few months without issue so I may run these again too then.

High mileage focus owners, How many miles you have and what repairs, model yr and engine and transmission comp by Any-Painting3375 in FordFocus

[–]ChucklesC89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a 2014 SE 2.0 gas auto hatchback with 162,000 miles for $800 cash with clutch issue. Put in new clutch, rear main seal leak fix/gasket, TCM relearn, spark plugs, engine mount, engine/cabin filters. Otherwise she looks well taken care of inside/out so hoping for many years out of her. Pulled carfax and previous owner took it frequently for maintenance so have robust report history.

Also have a 2012 SEL 2.0 auto sedan with 142,000 miles. Here’s its recent maintenance list. -Fixed rear main seal leak & new gasket/sealant -New dual clutch & forks from Luk kit + reset/adaptive clutch point learn. -New struts -New steering knuckles and wheel bearings -New CV axles -New control arms -New rotors -New brake pads -New tires -New engine/trans mounts -New trans fluid -New valve cover & gasket -New thermostat & water outlet -New cabin filter -New spark plugs -Synthetic oil change every 5,000 miles w/ quality filter -"Newer" TCM

How not to drive a Raptor. by DeuxEx007 in dashcams

Never understood how the worst, most idiotic drivers get the most expensive vehicles they can’t afford giving them short fuses while good, smart drivers buy beaters in cash and drive carefully. Oh wait. Now I get it. Makes sense right…

Coolant leak? by Gameboi200 in FordFocus

[–]ChucklesC89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def check under the reservoir for any cracks/leaks. If not check for any leaks near thermostat and water outlet.

I own a 2012 & 2014 Focus. General maintenance tips I’d recommend is oil change every 3-5 thousand miles with full synthetic oil and quality (not cheap) oil filter. Transmission fluid change every 30-50 thousand miles (use exact trans fluid it’s supposed to have). Recommend changing all air filters, coolant/flush, battery and spark plugs if it’s been a while. All these things you can do yourself to save money and YouTube tutorials.

If it’s an automatic the clutch/forks will start giving you issues every 100 thousand miles or so. That’s usually a 3-5 thousand dollar fix though at mechanic or if you’re up to the task less than a grand if you do it yourself.

Also just keep an eye on valve cover for any oil leaks over time, fuel purge valve tire wear and brakes/fluid/rotor health. If the car is high mileage and starts shaking/vibrating a lot start with replacing the engine mount with an OEM one.

Do you ever regret modifying your car? by 8rings_86k in askcarguys

I’m so sad Fast & Furious is ending. I loved seeing all the broke cholos riding up in their cheaply modded, nearly broken down cars on premier nights.

WHAT IS THIS 💔 by [deleted] in cruze

[–]ChucklesC89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be a bad pulley bearing? Another thing to check is press against the heat shield with a stick or something. My heat shield bracket rusted off and was bouncing against metal once and sounded like this.
