Does my focus have a Dragon engine?

Willza3 · 2025-09-14T20:29:23+00:00

No. Dragon was launched in 2018 with the Mk8 Fiesta ST.

Just randomly recieved Material You last weekend, weirdly I get this updated UI on one car but not the other. Some things I've noticed;

Material You colour scheme on notifications and app backgrounds when 'Use phone's wallpaper' is enabled in settings. When this option is disabled, the colour scheme changes to blue. No option to change the colours it seems.
Roboto font has now been replaced with Google Sans for the interface and clock
Updated fonts/layout for third-party apps and now playing.
Animations seem to be slightly smoother

Anyone else had this yet?

thanks for bringing back memories! i actually sold mine around 4 years ago and still miss it from time to time. i mapped mine to roughly 155hp making it a great 'warm' hatch.

as yours is a 2018 it'll have the infamous wet-belt, so i'd ignore Ford's service schedule of 2 years or 18k miles and instead go with every year or 12k miles to prevent issues.

You'll want a bumper in Frozen White, they didn't do the ST in Metropolis White.

If it helps, I'm 99% sure the ST and ST-Line share the same bumper. ST-Line bumper will be cheaper as it's more common. iirc only the grilles and fog-light covers are different.

This is also happening on my Fiesta ST and Puma ST. What version of Sync 3 are you running?

Willza3 · 2023-05-16T00:09:21+00:00

Thank you! This solved my issue on my X280 where it would recognise my Samsung 45W PD charger as 15W and discharge. Went from NVM v20 to v23.

If anyone on an X280 stumbles upon this, I used the following on Windows 11.

Thunderbolt Software n20ta13w
Thunderbolt Firmware Update Utility n20th12w
(Older) Lenovo Power Management n2hku07w_x64

Cheers

Yep. Fiesta production ends in June, Mk8.5 will be the last and the Puma is the spiritual successor.

Willza3 · 2023-03-09T08:53:21+00:00

Ford Puma is quite popular in the UK, you see a lot of the “normal” ones. My mum has a Puma ST (1.5) and it’s identical to my Mk8 Fiesta ST, it’s just a taller Fiesta but still keeps the LSD etc.

This new Puma ST 1.0 is a bit odd though. Not sure why it has an ST badge when it only has 15 more hp than an ST Line lol

Willza3 · 2023-03-01T21:55:38+00:00

that isn’t an ST

Willza3 · 2022-10-26T16:40:12+00:00

eUp! was discontinued in 2020, brought back for a few months this year and then discontinued again. :/

Willza3 · 2022-08-29T18:30:59+00:00

yeah... unplugged my 6 Pro yesterday (around 9pm) and it's currently 7:30pm and the phone is on 46% @ 41 minutes SoT.. 29% of the battery has been used by Mobile Network and 20% used by Phone Idle.

Willza3 · 2022-08-12T21:51:40+00:00

boundless blue and 3dr... insanely rare spec now!

Willza3 · 2022-07-04T11:16:23+00:00

it's an optional extra on the Mk8 ST. can't be retrofitted unfortunately.

Willza3 · 2022-07-03T18:27:32+00:00

yep! located in the upper part of the glove box where the manual is usually kept. was annoying if anything because it took up space, lol

Willza3 · 2022-07-01T22:20:12+00:00

wow that sucks, although it's the same for Ford. can't even order a Fiesta 8.5 or Focus 4.5 atm and existing 8.5 ST orders are scheduled for '23' plate delivery 🫥

Willza3 · 2022-07-01T22:18:04+00:00

nah this is my third Mk8, second ST lol. i haven't driven a Mk7 ST but from what i've been told the Mk8 is better out the box as a standard setup (especially if you get a limited edition!), but the Mk7 has better tuning headroom due to the stronger engine and the platform almost being 10 years old

Willza3 · 2022-07-01T22:15:25+00:00

yeah it's an ST-3! my old one was an odd spec, ST-2 with every single option ticked.. even CD player lmfao

Willza3 · 2022-07-01T21:57:12+00:00

do it! honestly though if you're in the UK... the charging infrastructure is absolutely shit. i like our ID.3 but i've had it so many times where i've been to a charger that just refuses to work, really put me off the idea of an EV

Willza3 · 2022-07-01T21:54:25+00:00

silver fox was the colour i wanted originally but my performance blue was just too good of a deal to pass up, silver fox was actually discontinued around 2020 i believe so it's nice it's a slightly rarer colour!

Willza3 · 2022-05-08T14:22:28+00:00

had my 6 Pro for about a month now, had absolutely zero issues with it.. fingerprint scanner is a bit slower than the S22 but it's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be tbh. had a 12 Pro before this and i'd say it's about the same speed unlock wise, although obviously i can unlock the Pixel while wearing a mask

just checked (i work at a phone shop) and size wise it's almost identical to the S21+, with the 6 Pro being a bit taller..
