This was so helpful..Totally grateful. Quite expensive tho . Got a Bosch for 31quid,but it works perfectly 😊. Let's see how long it lasts..

👌👍

Thank you very much and God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌

Another excellent video thanks. I have the same vehicle. Have you had to install a voltage stabiliser for the stereo to operate correctly when the engine turns off then on again? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the excellent video. I have the same car and will be following what you have done to upgrade mine soon. Can you please say whether you installed the green parking brake lead from the back of the head unit? Thanks.

is better removing the airbox first. The fuses hidden in the wall could be afected..

Thanks so much! Just completed it successfully. I’ve got the facelift model so stupidly thought I did need to knock out those first 4 clips…turns out you don’t on this either 😅 anyways, cheap and doesn’t hurt to replace. Thanks again, legend.

Thank you!

?

thank youuu

P38 too, old tec. Wonder how old that actually is?

Thank you

My 2012 Skoda superb does that too. Hold the lock button to fold in the wing mirrors

It's nothing new my 65 insignia elite does that

Never leave spanner on top of battery, if it crossed between the 2 terminal posts you could blow the ecu,,,, rookie mistake,,

Can I change the fuse without disconnecting the battery?

Can I change the fuse without disconnecting the battery?

Mite be a good idea to strain the old oil to look for bits of wet belt

Too much speeking

Hi, is that 5w-20 oil satisfying the WSSM2C948-B specification? You are aware that engine has a wet belt i presume? It has to have some additives for preserving that rubber belt. What do you think about 0w-20 engine oil? Would it be better?

I got stuck with a dead battery far away from home and couldn’t pop up the hood. This video saved me. Thank you!!

Silly question but do they sit driver side at the top or passenger, or does this not matter? I’m sure when I changed mine the passenger side was above the driver side, yet after swapping it seemed the driver side wanted to sit higher - or does it not matter ?

Thanks! I had to do this to mine today and found your video very helpful, now got to repair the boot release lever as mine has fallen off 😅

It was such a fun looking at somebody else struggling with this abomination. To avoid those problems it helps much to have your lock well LUBRICATED all the time (it being stuck is the main reason the mechanism breaks), plus to be the only one you let open the bonnet (because others doing it with force is usually the time it breaks) If you still care for this car, it is probably the best idea to ask somebody to fabricate you a sturdy metal lever, attach it to the mechanism and on the other side make it poke through the grille Me I got used to lifting up the bottom part of the grille, going in with my hand and turning the mechanism with my hand (praying that the sphere doesn't get detached from the fork and swearing at the idiot who engineered this.) If you are still in the process of opening the bonnet, just pry the bottom part up, then go inside with the hand. . If you have a plastic lever, it will usually break at the lock, so you can turn the lever with your hand (but do it carefully so it doesn't get detached). If you have the wire system depicted here, pull iit out and turn the mechanism with your pliers. It is not a bad idea to look at the footage here to see what things look like inside to know what you are doing - actually knowing what is where is the most important thing here. Let me say that if there is the 10th circle of hell, the engineer who's planned this is certainly there. If not anybody else, he is there. He fully deserves it. This is refined evil and stupidity. Let's look at those stages of idiocy: 1 - make a bonnet to be unlocked with the ignition key (not that you need to run the engine often when you open it ...) 2 - use an unreliable and easily broken mechanism 3 - (later) "upgrade" it with a plastic lever (this is the one I have and makes me mad on and on) - well, in one sense it is better because you can reach in and turn it, but it breaks much easier (plastic gets brittle over time, and it also gets disengaged quite easily from the "sphere" Oh, and I just realized, this is like BEGGING for somebody to pry out the lock cillinder from the soft plastic grille at the front, make a copy of the key and break into the vehicle .

that was very helpful, thnkew so much

Any chance you know the part number for the aux piece? It was missing when I bought mine and we’re trying to find it!

Thankyou so much! Just changed ours on a Ford Focus CC3 I did it while my husband sat and watched the Grand Prix - typical get the woman to do it!

Thanks for video however fuse changed and it's still not working so what next any info pls

I really would like to know more about the two outer clips/bolts that appear to have been broken off 4:30 On the video, that looks like a solid metal bolt, I cant figure out how your chizel gets through that, or how you put that back on to the chhicle after the main fix. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. please tag me. thanks!

Nice car

Is it possible to dislodge something during this which causes a coolant leak?

"thought this was an mk3" - dude, c'mon, edit the crap out or delete the whole video. Came here for quality step by step, and got this

Thanks for this.

Спасибо

I have a 2014 Ford focus. The cigarette lighter ports, aren't working. So, I wanted to know what fuse operates those, in my.car, so I can pull it, and look to see if it's damaged. Because if it "is", I can replace it with a new fuse. Thank you.

You did this all with recording it all by yourself, you are really great.

So the Universal patch lead does the trick for the steering control. Thanks much! 👍

Had to replace blown rear brake bulb on my son's Mk3 Focus today - video is excellent and easy to follow. Thank you.

Did it last .

For all the time it took to remove the battery the way you did it ,you could have taken the air filter box out.

Mine stopped working on my 2010 Cmax, did the stripdown near enough the same as your Focus. Fitted a new washer pump ...all ok worked fine. 6months down the line hit the Stalk washer button ...NO WATER? stripped it down again found a BLACK coating on the inside of the washer bottle was coming away from the inside (don't know if that black coating is STANDARD? or contamination) Got a hose on the inside and got most of it our But although my PUMP is working still getting no washers? Cleaned out the Pump filter Still no Washers? A STUPID FORD IDEA TO HIDE THE BOTTLE AWAY UNDER THE WING? for probably a blocked tube ?

easy to follow great video thanks

Bloody hell mate your steering wheels on the wrong side. lol Thanks for the help

Well done!

Dont forget to reset BMS when you fit a new battery

hi which is the fuse for the low beam headlight right side? pls. help.

Hi do you know what fuse number is the fuse for the low beam headlight?

Thanks, just did it to my '08 focus mk2.5! Popped the 2 side clips by turning a flat screwdriver and with some effort got the grille out (pop the hood open a bit by pushing a rubber handle between hood and headlights). The front cylinderlock and cable replacement is actually the easy part. Heads up tho for people with the 2.5, if you see a plastic v shaped cold air intake duct behind your grille try to undo the 2 bolts that hold it in. In my case i snapped them out causing in some damage to the plastic, couple zip ties to the rescue shhht haha. Opens and closes fine now, spent euro 29,99 and prob 45 minutes wasn't in a hurry.
