2007 Ford Focus (3 Door) Hatchback - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

check fuel filter to see if it is clogged, sounds like it is starving for fuel. also check fuel pump pressure if need be.

Check coolant level

sorry but the local ford garage are right its got to do it when the mechanic has it ,i would suspect the alternator ,but who knows with these weird faults like this .Best advice i can give here is leave well alone till till it packs up completly

Either bad fuse or faulty switch check fuse first if fuse is good it will be the switch

renew it with a new player ,one that will play a SD card or usb chip .saves a fortune on cds

yes but then it will not pass its annual vehicle inspection because you have done unauthorised modifications.

do you mean 5th gear??

try geek.com?? this is a car thingy

no other alternative but to renew the display panel

most likely cause is a deformed tyre

dealer only ,encrypted software

i think shes changing gear too fast and crunching the syncro ,give it time to do its job ,whats the rush anyway .Lots of people crucify gearboxes because they will not allow time for the syncro to slow the then match the splines for the gear to pass over .Her surname isnt button or hamilton is it??

Problem resolved by local garage.

Pop the Hatchback open and remove the connectors
from the top of the bumper cover.

Optional Step: Using a Floor Jack, raise both sides
of the car in the back, supporting both sides with
jack stands, and remove the rear wheels.

Using Torx Bits, remove the inner rear wheel well
lining.

Get behind the rear wheel well and loosen the bolts
holding the bumper brackets on. They're pretty
difficult to find and remove. Be Patient. Do the
same to the other side.

Remove the rear bumper cover by pulling the cover
outward from the part nearest the wheel on both
sides. Once removed, take off the 2 black mounting
brackets from the bumper cover.

Although it may feel like it is right under your foot, the vibration most likely comes from one or more unbalanced tires. You need to visit a tire store and have all four tires/rims balanced and that should do it.

I'll assume you mean the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor. And while i'm not very familiar with the exact motor in your vehicle, the sensors are generally mounted on the Intake tube from the air box to the throttle body, sometimes mounted on the air box itself, or possibly even built into the Mass Air flow sensor. Which will be mounted most likely on the air box before the intake tube.

There is more than one water temperature sensor. One is for the ECM and the other for the guages. If the ECM one is unplugged it won't affect the gauges.

Open the hatch and look to the side of the housing, there should be a tab sticking out of the side of the assembly with a screw securing it in place (It's between the trim seal and the assembly). Then in the inside of the hatch, look up to where the assembly would be, and there should be a long cylindrical nut (it's made of plastic and will have a metal center for the threads). Remove this and then you can pull the entire assembly off. You won't have a lot of room though because the wires are relatively short.

this is how you determine if the wheel bearing is the problem and which one it is, go some where you can make sweeping steep left and right turns, if the noise stops when you unload the wheels in either a left or right turn you have a wheel bearing noise, the bad bearing will be the one that is the unloaded wheel in the turn
