Ford Focus parts reviews

Transmission itself is great. Could be other things as mentioned here but common issue outside actuators/TCM would be the clutch in the bell housing. Recommend when accelerating from a stop to go heavier on the gas so it engages more hard. Could prob dive it like that for a few years but eventually will gunk up with enough dust inside that the actuators won’t be able to move the forks. Most shops will charge $3,500+ to replace. If you’re good with DIY you can prob do the job when the time comes yourself for about $750 for the Luk repset and dual clutch trans fluid.

My 2017 Focus RS with Blizzaks. Nothing I've driven has ever come close.

koyorad on my 400hp Focus and never had over heating issues.

Last year i bought a car (Ford Focus) that had been garaged for 4 years.

Changed oil and filter as a precaution.

I’ve had a set of Uniroyals (Tigerpaws) on my 2010 ford focus slider. They’ve been on for quite a few years now, no noticeable cracking, and treadwear still good.

I’ve ran the R1 concepts D/S with OE Pads, steel lines, MOTUL 660 fluid. I’ve got them pretty hot on mountain road runs many times, no issues.

Focus RS. If Ford had just built them with the correct head gaskets…!

EBC yellow. And I WILL go back to OEM next. These are not that good tbh. I don't really care about the dust btw.

Regardless of servicing etc, that wet belt is still deteriorating as it is soaked in the hot engine oil.

If it has been done they are actually a good engine when working fine. Plenty of torque and good on fuel. It’s just the reliability of them that’s the major issue. They switched to a timing chain from the wet belt from 2018 for a good reason. The 1.2 turbo engines from PSA are also wet belts and also switched to a chain around 2023. They are a terrible design and simply not going to be economical to maintain properly as the car ages.
