Ford Focus ST Forum forum

Based in South Wales, UK. Just about to buy a Focus ST for the second time (I had one in 2006). More details to follow .

I know 0-60mph or 0-100kph times don't really matter. But it's a classic way to gauge and brag how fast a car is. 😁 But it still would be fun to see the improvement from stock with different mode levels or Stages. Based on Ford's official time when stock Stage 2 should get the car at least under 6 seconds. And beyond Stage 2 should give very low 5's 0-60 times. I am just guessing. Base Stock 0-60 6.5-6.6 seconds. (from manufacturer official time) So have anyone measured their 0-60... 0-60 or 0-100 times with different level of mods or Stage?

Anyone familiar with the timing chain can tell me if this looks fine or should I just do the timing job, or is it more likely the tensioner? Additionally im having trouble finding guides on this issue #1 the chain, the way it looks right now. #2 & #3 are me pushing and pulling on the chain.

I have posted on a different forum with no joy and have attempted some diagnostics and fixes but I'm having no joy so asking a bit further and wider. Car is 2013 ST3 Estate. Car was fully stock when the issue started. Since then I've replaced the recirc with a Mountune part and have deleted the symposer. Car is fully serviced. No dash lights and no related codes (checked with 2 different readers and reset them) Basically I get an issue where the power seems to hit a brick wall. It's so... Engine Drops All Power - Stutter - Hard Acceleration

Hi, I have a Mongoose 4" exhaust system which is probably over 12 years old now, as you can see from the photos one of the brackets is in very poor condition, the other has fallen off completely, if someone could point me in the right direction where I can find these that be be great. I will be putting the car up for sale soon once i've carried out several repairs.

Wanted gearshift gator for ford focus mk3 st ideally a mountune one will pay good money for one Many thanks Gary

Sadly the time has come to part with my ST, long story short will soon be in a position to "upgrade" if you can call it that. Initial thought was 4WD conversion but that would mean undoing all the TXX mods. MK2 RS would be in the vicinity of 33,000 pounds where I am located plus the mods I'd want to do. Mk3 RS around 22,000 plus mods but for around the same an Eco-boost or coyote v8 mustang. Anyone switched to MK3 RS? and did you regret it

My Oil Dipstick doesn't go all the way back in (5-6mm protrusion) and is very stiff and difficult to put back in so I brought another good one (dipstick and tube. Does anyone know what I need to do to swap it out - list of what to do please? as no manual for ST (yet!). I know its a 10mm bolt that locates the tube to the engine but how do I get to it. Any ideas please?

Does anyone know if the mk2.5 diffuser in maxton will fit the pre-facelift mk2 bumper. Only asking curious as the mk2.5 valance they offer looks a lot more aggressive than the one they offer for the mk2 which is what I’ve got lol. I’ve seen a few pre-facelifts with them but not sure I’ve those cars have had the face lift bumper to go with it? Cheers
