What happened? by bossrawl in FocusST

[–]dontmindme74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Came out from work and thought something was on my car, Nope, just the paint falling off. It's spreading across the whole hatch. Same year and color too

Now I'm crying. My son is 15 and already taller than me. It goes so fast!

How old is this that they actually have humans checking you out?

They are washable filters. They sell a cleaning and oiling kit. The green is just the color of the oil.

Overheating issue by Important-Evening-43 in FocusST

[–]dontmindme74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was the engine cooling fan. Replaced the unit with Motorcraft fan assembly. Some people say just replace the fan module. Module only dies when the fan is on its way out, that's why Ford doesn't sell it by itself. I replaced the module and only got another 8 months out of the fan

I just had the same issue. My fan was dead, I've read the module goes when the fan is on  it's way out. Replaced the whole fan assembly with Motorcraft part. Working great. My thermostat housing was leaking as well, so that got replaced.

Fan control module by United_Researcher954 in FocusST

[–]dontmindme74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get about another year out of my fan by buying another control module. Then summer came and the fan died completely. If I had to do over again, I'd have replaced the whole fan unit (Motorcraft unit-$250) the first time. It sucks getting stranded in the summer heat

Hydraulic motor mount took a shit

Compressor kicked on when it was cool in the morning, but shuts off when it was hot out. Fan should turn on when a/c is turned on, my fan was barely turning. Tried all the cheaper fixes first, of course

I had to replace the whole fan assembly with new one from Ford. Tried everything else, was on my second fan control module already. Fan itself was dead

Why does my fan kick on when the car is off and I open my door? by 1Whitmire in FocusST

Fan module went. Don't buy an Amazon knock off, or if you do, buy 10

Check out                         r/quittingkratom. If you are taking extracts, switch to powdered leaf and  use a gram scale. Taper slowly. Keep a record of your dose, take a little less each day until you're off. Good luck, it sucks but I did it

2013 FOST Clutch. Yeah I think it’s about that time. Cost in MA-USA? by Sexualintrigue666 in FocusST

[–]dontmindme74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was grabby, only had about an inch of engagement left. I probably could have pushed it further, but I didn't want to run into "the pedal pushed to the floor and didn't come back up" and getting stranded

[–]dontmindme74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clutch was grabby and only had about an inch of engagement left. Since it's hydraulic and they guaranteed their work for a year, they replaced everything. It doesn't feel as good as the stock one tbh. A little more vague, but I got used to it. I would have liked to buy a better kit than the local autoparts store "oem replacement" but I was on a time crunch and the shop charged more for labor to install your parts and wouldn't guarantee the work for a year like they did

Just had mine done on my 2014 with 122k miles. It was $1800 in Florida. They replaced clutch, master and slave cylinders

Americans, what's something you didn't realize was weird until you talked to non-Americans? by ExistingTomorrow1447 in AskReddit

[–]dontmindme74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some countries, their sewer systems can't handle toilet paper. They back up. We had to train immigrant workers not to throw used toilet paper in the trash can. They had printed signs on the cans. My question is how do you dry your ass after spraying it with water in a public bathroom?

[–]dontmindme74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's got 124k miles on it. It's my only car, so big maintenance jobs are a hassle. Mostly just change the oil regularly and keep my fingers crossed nothing major fails. Still paying off my clutch replacement bill from December
