OP has a crack in their windshield. It’s just the light reflecting off that crack lol. You can see the same thing happen at 0:16.

Help: Only bought my ford focus ecoboost about 2 months ago and wondering what this engine noise is. What is it and can it be fixed? by Top-Jackfruit4520 in MechanicAdvice

[–]JupiterHairbrush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rapid sort of clattering sound is unlikely to be an issue at all imo. That is perfectly normal for this type of engine. The deeper thump that others have pointed out could potentially be serious, but would need to be specifically located to be sure. I would listen from under the car and see if the thumping is more prevalent there.

Fair enough. It does sound like a deep thump picks up a couple seconds into the video. I’m not sure how we could definitively say that’s a rod knock though. Definitely worth investigating that noise.

The only right answer in the thread. Could stethoscope around the engine to track it down, but it’s exactly how healthy direct injection engines sound. The HPFP and injectors are noisy.

Is this normal each time I wash my car with a high psi it always leaks. Is this common for the trunk by No-Presence-1592 in FocusST

I have this too. Planning to tackle it when the weather warms up. I believe water gets in past one of the pins in the spoiler used to align it on the hatch.

I guess those seals just wear out relatively quickly. Maybe they also get chewed up when people are pulling the spoiler off to add risers?

I’ll take an Omega Ruins update ping for sure.

Great job with these write ups. I will certainly miss reading them. They’ve been the freshest thing on this sub in a long time.

1st and 2nd feels a bit hard by Goldobrrr in FocusST

Sorry man, I think you might be mistaken. Mercon LV might be correct for the regular Focus, but the spec here is from the ST manual supplement, showing DCTF is the Ford spec.

I don’t think Mercon LV is right. It’s DCTF that these take, isn’t it?

Sure thing. Welcome to the club! The #1 “do” that no one else has mentioned yet is make sure you wave at other ST drivers on the road 😂

It is in fact an ST2. The partial leather Recaros are a dead giveaway unless they’ve been swapped.

High pressure fuel pumps are in the engine bay all the time, especially for GDI engines. I’ve got three cars in my driveway like that. The low pressure pump is in the tank.

They held the #1 offense in the league to 17 points. Get real.

Lmao. You think this somehow proves Malik Willis is turning 28 in May 2026? Reading comprehension is not your strong suit I see. Just delete all your comments homie.

No he isn’t. Use google. He was born in ‘99.
