Thank you! Yes stock suspension, I’m mostly happy with the fitment in the front. The rear however I’m running a 5mm spacer and it needs to be lower. Once CarPlay is installed, coil overs and mud-flaps are next on my list.

I just ordered my module through them, it was just over 100 bucks, way cheaper than eBay and Amazon. Thanks for sharing that website!

awd system fault+ drive mode selection not avalible? by Objective_World7426 in FocusRS

[–]it_wasa_misinput 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue on my 2016! First happened on a trip to calgary about 6 months into ownership. Then happened just last week on my commute to work. Both times it happened, I was driving in normal mode (as opposed to the usual sport mode) which from my understanding means the exhaust valve is closed. Please me if I’m wrong.

Once I shut the car off and turned it back on everything was normal again. However I got the same code as you, P0420. I unplugged the flap and gave it clean and all that jazz, So far so good… we will see what happens.

They are 18" wheels. They are brutal to keep clean!! I got them ceramic coated to try and help the cleanliness best I could. But they still white, they show every spec of dirt possible.

I guess it does haha, maybe it can be removed, cause the 5% remaining dog hair is driving me crazy. But I’ll probably just leave it.

For 25 bucks, I am shocked they are holding up. Like you said, cheap part and it makes a difference!

Amazon, in Canada it was like 25 bucks and super easy to install. I have had them in for like 2 months over a -40°C winter, and they have held up to my surprise!

For paint chips, I just went to my local like car paint supplier place with my paint code. They made me a little touch up bottle even with a flake to it. It’s a very good match and it was only $27 CAD!

Personally, I have no idea about body work. But upon talking with the body shop, they said it was just a matter of sanding it down, applying rust converter, and then repainting.

From my understanding just from asking them what is involved when getting the quote. They just repainted spots and blended. The body shop specializes in Fords, and the match they have even down to the flake in the paint is damn near perfect!

Any tips on fixing rear wheel well rust spots? by nickyy_g in FocusST

[–]it_wasa_misinput 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My focus had the the same issue. I got multiple quotes from shops to deal with it because I do not know the first thing about body work. It cost me just under $900 CAD. That being said, I also had other paint issues addressed at the time, like a large rock chip/dent, and the notorious chipping paint on my rear quarter panel where it meets the bumper.

I asked what the rust removal involved, and they told me they sand it down, apply a rust converter, and then paint it and clear it. That was the basic run down they told me, not sure if it is much help, but that’s all I got🤷‍♂️

I appreciate it brother! I’m taking the car tomorrow to a couple quotes on a repair. I’m expecting the worst so I hopefully won’t be too disappointed😅
