Hello, I'm new to this thread and trying to help a friend with her 2013 SE. Someone stole her fuel door and in doing so damaged the locking tab on the hinged mounting arm. This appears in the Ford parts list as part of the "fuel pocket". I have ordered a new part, but cannot find any information on what is involved in replacing this. I can't seem to find it listed in the Ford workshop manual either. I have removed the inner fender lining but don't see access to the back of the pocket.

I just bought my first car! ? I wanted something reasonably priced and reliable while I’m still in college, so I opted in buying a 2009 Ford Focus SE 4-door Sedan that only had one owner. My dad is handy with cars and has been doing all sorts of overdue maintenance and needed part replacements but I asked him why this car doesn’t creep forward when idle when releasing the brakes at a stop or when reversing to park, and he wasn’t sure. My parents’ cars do creep, so I’m accustomed to using it... Idle creeping in 2009 Ford Focus SE ..read more

Hello, new to this forum, apologize if this has already been mentioned. I have a 2013 Ford Focus SE.

Hey all, I have recently gotten an "Engine Fault Service Now" code on my 2016 Focus ST 2.0T along with a few other fault notifications and am looking for a little help.

Hey, I have a 2017 Focus SEL and am replacing the driver-side rear shock due to an oil leak. Replacing with a KYB Gas-a-Just (554402) and everything's been going fine until refitting the upper strut mount bolts. The bolts came out perfectly fine, but the bolt thread is not catching on replacement. I removed the new shock entirely to ensure it wasn't an issue with the shock mount alignment and the same problem persists. Bolt hole threads in the frame look like they might be stripped (by...
