Top 20 2007 Ford Focus (3 Door) Hatchback - Page 9 Questions & Answers

If you had a whining sound prior to the battery light, your regulator is failing due to faulty bearings causing the unit to overheat that is giving you the intermittent issue allowing the unit to charge when tested and still show the light. You are about to experience a total failure that will leave you on the side if you don't it corrected. I learned that this is a very common problem with this model and you are not alone. These failures are occurring at 30,000 to 45,000 miles and I suspect the part is defective,+ and Ford is obviously aware of this. Join the line and get loud with this manufacturer. There should be a recall to correct this problem. If yours is a standard shift, you are going to be forced to buy this from the dealer with a substantial mark-up, or buy a re-manufactured unit that may not give you any better service. Good luck, but get it fixed or you are going to be walking.

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??

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

ive allways had good luck with interstate brand

most likely cause is a deformed tyre

it is located in the pass side fender well on the accumulator assy a real pain to get to

You most likely disconnected the wireing harness. Check the plugs at the brakes.

the light indicates that the trans is in limp mode. should be checked.
good luck

They squeek or squeel because they may need adjustment or replacement. The noise is a safety feature when in need of replacement. Good Luck.

Yes but the bonnet was latched by it's strike to the latch attached to your cars radiator support therefore pulling the radiator support out of alignment and the hood/bonnet and strike are in the proper position. The solution is to adjust the bent radiator support to it's latch is in alignment with the strike.
Good luck

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

I am not real familiar with 2007 Focus but I believe that if you drove with it on the brake band is no good. There is not very much friction material on these anyways so they can't stand much driving before they are gone.

the bearing needs to come apart remove the silver cap you should see a cotter pin holding the spindle nut remove the pin then the lock shield for jam nut then remove jam nut be careful as bearing may fall out there is a washer between jam nut and bearing then you should be able to remove drum

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

Two ways to help with your problem....You can get a section of aluminum or tin and fashion a heat shield to cover the area that is making the floor hot. when attaching it, use spacers so it stands away from the attachment points. You can also buy heat wrap and heat "blankets" form many race suppliers (I know for sure they are available from Summit racing). Wrap goes on pipes etc and blanket can be installed under your rug. I know it's annoying to have to fix a poor factory design, but at least there is a cure.
Good luck!!

Look at the other head light that is not damaged.

yes it is. Same motor, I do believe the tranny housing should bolt the same as well. You may have to take the computer with you to new vehicle. They go by vin numbers

Last time i had this fault on a 2006 model, we changed the injection distributor head. Fords know of this problem and you will find them most helpful. You must ensure you work with utmost care as even a small amount of dirt in the system with cause problems.
