Hi all, I’ve noticed in the past few days my coolant gauge was getting really high so I checked my tank and it was quite low. I filled it up but the level has dropped again - no evidence of leakage under the car. Was wondering if anyone has had this issue previously or might be able to help...

Hey guys so I just changed out the thermostat, and the overflow tank in my ST and there’s a lot of milkshake coming from all the coolant lines and the overflow tank starts to boil after driving for 10 min. I took it to ford and they said it was an oil cooler failure. So I swapped out the oil...

Long story short, I moved to the UK with my US spec 2018 Focus ST, and noticed that my engine coolant was low. After looking extensively and calling the local Ford dealership and shops, I realized that Motorcraft coolant, let alone the yellow type, is not even used in the UK spec Ford cars. They...

I have been having an issue where my engine rpm at idle will drop down to 400-500rpm sounding like it is about to stall before it recovers back to normal idle rpm. The dealer is telling me it is due to coolant intrusion in cylinders 2 and 3 causing them to misfire. They also said the only fix...

Hey all. To make a long story short, I am really at a dead end right now trying to figure out what is going on with my car. -at fill up, even if its at less than 50 to E it won’t allow me to put in more than 10 gallons of fuel. -putting any amount of gas in causes it to stall out and shut off...

So I’ve had a coolant leak that I haven’t been able to locate so I’ve been adding fluid when needed. Today, my car got much hotter than normal during city driving and I towed it to a mechanic. They found a coolant leak going into the turbo but it doesn’t seem big enough to warrant the amount of...

Just got an aluminum coolant reservoir that was supposed to have no issues with OEM fitment. Everything slid into place nicely until I went to attach the radiator hose. It’s not a snug fit and definitely not creating a seal. Thought about sliding a little tubing over the radiator hose to make a...

Hello, I flipped through a few different threads about the coolant flush before I did it, and I found some confusing information and lots of people having trouble with getting all the fluid drained. I decided to share what I learned through my coolant flush. What you'll need: - Coolant Flush...

So today I drained my coolant, refilled with distilled water, drain, repeated three times. Filled the reservoir up with Motorcraft yellow pre-diluted. Left the cap off ran the engine to temp, heater on high with fan on. Two problems, one, only took 1 gallon of coolant to fill it so I figured...

Hello everyone, just got a 2013 Focus ST3 back in October. I noticed the coolant was low (below the min line). So I topped it back up with the proper orange Ford coolant and it stayed at the max level for the past 200kms/120 miles so far. Is this normal? Could it have just burnt coolant over...

Hello all, I just replaced the engine in my 2016 ST. The new engine was a long block from Ford. Since replacing, I have noticed my coolant reservoir level dropping daily. If I drive around easy without boosting more than, let’s say, 10psi, the level stays about the same. It’s only when I...

Hey guys, Today, as I parked in my driveway a huge puddle of pinkish liquid came out from underneath the right side of my '14 FoST. It seems like it is coming from the coolant reservoir. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how much a repair like this might cost? Thanks EDIT: Turns out the...

Hey guys, I’m looking to do a coolant flush this weekend on the ST and I checked the supplement to find the exact coolant but I can’t seem to find it anywhere, even on fords website. I’m starting to think the product code may have changed. I ended up buying this from my local dealership, would...

Newly got a Focus St3 2015 used. Realized that my coolant was a bit low so i went to a ford dealership to get the exact same coolant. Looking from the manual it should be the orange coolant which is supposed to be use in my car. Thats what i asked the guy. He told me that they dont do it anymore...
