Ford Focus (2005 - 2011) Diesel - Replace the starter motor

[@abmonkey33]

I can understand the need for cars to evolve, be more compact and that everything needs to be somewhere - but I've noticed as time passes that you need to dismantle more and more on modern cars just to reach parts that you'd expect to be replaced. The access on some modern cars just to access a simple bulb change is ridiculous and certainly not something you'd be attempting on a dark road at night in an emergency.

[@karisianschwermer6464]

Nice video, it would be even nicer, if i had a little bit more orientation, where you are working at the engine..

[@HaynesManuals]

Thanks for the comment. On these engines, the starter is located on the rear of the cylinder block.

Mine needs fitting, starts fine on a warm sunny day but getting into winter takes long and longer.

What is that black plastic thing on the cable connected to positive battery terminal?

[@HaynesManuals]

Looks like some kind of fusible link

[@boabm6522]

Easy peasy

[@stevenwalker2297]

Aways easy when you know what your doing and done it before .

Велике дякую з України. Допомогли дуже сильно. Дякую. А ви можете підсказвти зо це за двигун?

[@Jontyfarmer]

Why do you have to remove battery and air filter? Why can’t you just go underneath and sort from there?

[@ianmackay1823]

And you've lost your radio code, hope you know it

[@HaynesManuals]

See the warning at 0'17". All is explained....

[@aleksikarvonen701]

Radio ain't gonna do you much if your starter is blown 😅
