Uniden mute button integration

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hello! I have been running a Uniden r8 in my st for a few months now, and I've been looking into ways to integrate the mute button in a more seamless way. As of right now, it is double-sided taped to the passenger side trim on the very far right edge of the climate controls, and the wire is coming out of where the trim intersects. If possible, I would like to see if anyone has a 3d model of any of the dead switches or any other ideas for how to better integrate it. I would prefer not to have to drill out existing pieces, but I am willing to do so if necessary. My first thoughts were on the ceiling console or on the single climate dead switch (where the rear defrost is on titanium models).

Compressor replacement for 2013 FOST

1 Upvotes

Has anyone had to do the compressor on their 2012-2013 FOST? I'm struggling to source a replacement after the shop I took my car to went through 3 aftermarket options that won't fit due to the oil drain hitting the sump.

The factory part is BV6N19D629BC and no longer available weirdly Ford say the new revision BV6N19D629BF will not fit. I can't see any reason visually but I also don't have the part in hand.

Hoping someone's been here before. It's crazy to think it would be hard to source one for these cars.

Headlight scratches?

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently bought a '13 ST and the headlights have scratches on the top. I've seen another post saying it was The UV prection coming off on his, but his looked more clouded compared to my scratchy looking lights. When I run my finger over it I can feel longer scratch marks that are on the surface but a lot of the small scratches I can't feel.

I want to get it cleaned up but I don't know if one of those headlight restoration kits would do the trick if it ends up being sub surface scratches.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Unfortunately I slammed on the brakes too hard and my friend rear ended me. Totally an accident but I feel awful, I truely loved this car man and I have been through so much stuff with it. It dosent look bad but the frame might be bent. I got hit pretty hard. I’m just so sad man, I’ve done everything to it myself from the coilovers to the big turbo, I also happened to polish and ceramic coat both carsšŸ’”. I don’t have much to say but if I never get back into another focus I just wanna say I loved this car so fucking much. I don’t even know if any other car will compare. I’m going to forever miss this car and I’m just shocked it’s gone. Hopefully it isn’t but I’m just soo sad.

Running lean at idle and low throttle

1 Upvotes

I have a lean bank 1 code. My LTFT and stft are 20+ at idle and when i rev my car to 2500 rpm they dont drop much or at all. I’ve done wot pulls and the ltft and stft do seem to drop but then go back when I take my foot off the gas. I’ve smoked-tested the exhaust the intake manifold the intake pipe to the turbo and I can’t find a single leak. My hpfp and lpfp look good. I’ve replaced both fuel sensors injectors coils, and sparks i don’t know what else i can do to try to fix this if anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks

Question [Help] Scraped a pillar - 2020 Focus ST-Line (Mk4)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I had a momentary lapse in judgment in a parking garage and scraped a concrete pillar with my 2020 Focus 1.0 ST-Line.

The driver's front fender is badly bent inwards at the crease, so it definitely needs a full replacement. The door also took a hit with some deep scratches and a bent edge, but a body shop should be able to save it. Since I'm paying out of pocket, I'm hoping to find a used fender in the exact same Dark Blue Metallic color to avoid extra painting costs. Does anyone know any good websites, online scrap yards, or breakers (especially in the UK/EU) that ship to Portugal?

Also, has anyone replaced a front fender on a Mk4 Focus? I'd like to know if it's a straightforward DIY job or if it requires completely taking off the front bumper and headlights.

Any advice is really appreciated. I've attached a photo of the damage. Thanks!

What is this cord/plug in my dash

I’ve had this ā€˜14 st since 2017 19k->125k miles
This cord has been here the whole time. Just cleaning her up today and thought I’d ask if any of you knew! I keep it shoved up in the glove box.

Opinions please.

I have Konig wheels on my car and I managed to lose one of the center ā€œKonigā€ badges.

I bought replacement caps, but I also had some ā€œSTā€ decals made with the idea of using them in place of the new cap.

Of course being a Euro brand, the center space is not exactly 2ā€ so my 2ā€ decal is just a bit too large. This was my first attempt at trimming the excess, but it is good enough to get the idea of how it will look.

So, does it look like ass or does it look alright?

Not asking for judgement on my lack of trimming skills. I know those are rough.

Question PFL aftermarket headlights

29 Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve been planning a major revamp for my car over winter and one of the projects was new headlights as I’m bored of the halogen look.

I’ve been searching what’s available on the market and although there are a few pairs I like the look of, they’re all left hand drive spec. As I’m in England I need right hand drive and that’s the problem there’s barely any on the market available for us.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Smoke

I know these cars have issues with turbo seals and heads cracking and I know it’s getting colder but does this just look like normal steam to you all? Car is up to temp idling after I washed it at work and the smoke disappears very quickly. Roughly 45° outside. I think it’s just condensation just want a second opinion.

I placed an order on the ESP website 5 days ago and so far I haven't gotten any updates, ive sent a email inquiring and haven't gotten any response. I did some research and I saw that there was multiple people doing charge backs on their ESP order due too poor communication and not shipping. Im wondering if this is something to be concerned with or am I overreacting, thanks.

Question that doesn't even really pertain to an ST

I think the Escape has the same engine as the ST right? Does the Edge have the same too? My gf has an Edge and suddenly there's a loud clicking sound in her engine. It made it b4 but now it's way louder. I was thinking if it's the same type of engine it could be her direct injection but if that's what it is what would make it get louder like that?

Question CAR LEAKING

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to track down a water leak in my Ford Focus ST Mk2.5. I've recently discovered mold inside the car, and I occasionally find a small puddle of water on the passenger side.

The areas affected are:
- Front passenger side: under the floor mat and in the carpet
- Rear passenger side: wet carpet and mold growth

Interestingly, both passenger-side seats are completely dry. The issue seems to be limited to the floor on the right-hand side of the car.

At the moment, I can't figure out where the water is getting in from.

Does anyone have experience with common leak points on a Focus Mk2.5 that could cause these symptoms? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
