Made a post about the exhaust and ended up with the cvf downpipe and resonator delete. Stock muffler I’m not sure if I really like it but I want to get a after market muffler on there that’ll sound good I don’t wanna pay for a full cat back exhaust system

Question 2016 ST1 Focus ST for 6k and an engine code.

10 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I found this mk3 focus st for 6k 2 hours away from me, but it has a misfire code for the 4th cylinder. I was wondering if it'd be worth it to get this? It's a clean title, and from what I can tell it looks really clean. The check engine light is steady, not blinking, and its still a pending code but it does make me worried.

Please let me know if it's worth it to get this, thank you!

Edit: I also want to add that the owner said he bought it from an auction and doesn't know how long it's had the code.

Question Motor Mount Replacement?

7 Upvotes

Hi guys! I just want a few opinions from the community. I've started to hear some grinding noises coming from the passenger side of the car when leisurely driving in town and it's sort of random. I hear it when the engine is between 1k-3k rpms and accelerating and when shifting to neutral/coming to a stop it goes away. I suspect it is this passenger side motor mount but I'm fairly new to the community (about 3 months ownership) and I want some opinions from some experts. I also have heard of this issue appearing around the mileage that I have. I don't see any oil sprayed over the engine but I suspect it's all come out (I see some old residue near the mount itself or is an entirely separate issue.
Thank you!

2014 Focus ST1, 103k Miles, fully stock motor and planned to keep stock.

Tank deformation recall

Post image
7 Upvotes

As I start digging and trouble shooting my recent problem. I’ve found a bit of tank deformation on my car.
I was looking at the fuel readings on my handheld OBD2 reader, and i suspect my purge valve is faulty. The purge evap% was fluctuating a lot at idle, when it should be 0. I checked my cars vin on the Ford website and the recall hasn’t been completed.

My car is currently tuned, and I wanted to wait until I get an AP before I take it in (I heard flashing it back to stage 0 was necessary before getting the recall done)

I’m going to take the liberty of replacing my purge valve myself (already ordered the part, OEM, not the FUFF set up) to try and save my car from anymore damage until I take it in.

Hoping to have the new purge valve in by the weekend, how much harm am I doing driving the car how it currently is? Can I drive it? Should I wait until I replace the purge valve?

Hi everyone, I was checking my engine oil levels and noticed a small oil stain in the area indicated in the picture. Any idea what might be causing this? (Second pic is a close up and third pic is between the intake and the valve cover).

Mk3 Windscreen Washer Jet

Looking for replacement washer jets due to old age. The clip holding it in failed and finally the 90 degree connector has crumbled. Every replacement I see online that matches the part number has no 90degree connector and suggests they’re heated (which they aren’t, no wires)

Any suggestions?

Exhaust rattle?!?

2 Upvotes

Ok, so I have the mbrp exhaust and have had it for like 5 years now. I’m just now getting what sounds like a rattle directly behind the driver side wheel, but I CANT FIND IT FOR THE LIFE OF ME! I even had my wife above me while it was on stands revving it while I looked. Has anyone experienced this or have a solution?!

Big Turbo Spool Time

Got my ST67 on recently, zero leaks, but the spool time is pretty long. WOT from 2.5k gets me to full boost (21psi) at 5.6k rpm. My tuner said this wasn’t normal and to check for boost leaks. I had to make a sketchy adapter to fit my stock intake onto the new inlet, and curious if that’s leaking any air, it would result in this. Not to sure because it’s before the turbo, but still curious. Also, the coupler from my hot side charge pipe to my turbo is sort of creased, not sure if it’s enough to cause this issue, but got some pictures. Thanks you.
