| Opinions on changing oil on manual gearboxes | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... CVTs and DCTs - you should obviously change the oil, there is no debate on that. The clutch packs engadging gears obviously need oil, gear changes are actuated with oil pressure and the oil is also used to lube and cool the gears. Where I’m coming from asking about modern ones is that: On cheaply built manuals sold in Europe often you just MUST have oil changes done, for example the TransElf JR5 gearbox (Powers pretty much all driving instructor’s cars in Europe because of how well weighted, intuitive to drive (you just push the stick in the appropriate ... | |||||

| Hi Scotty, Why You Should Never flush your transmission fluid? Some people warn against performing a flush on a transmission, others say there’s no need to change the transmission oil.My Honda Pilot 2010 with 125K miles on it had never had the transmission oil changed.It shifts like a dream, no issues whatsoever so far.I thought before I change it I should flush it first since I haven’t changed it in almost 11 yrs. How do I approach problem? Thanks | |||||

| Hi Scotty, I have a 2015 Ford focus Titanium. Very recently, I had to replace the transmission on my car which Ford refused to pay though it was supposed to be covered by their costumer satisfaction program.

| RE: Ford focus 2005 why is water leaking into the spark plug wells/valleys? | 12Relevance | 2 years ago | CKFF99 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| This has happened for the past 5 months and i'd say once a month it has been cleaned out. I saw the fluid last time and it looked like clear water. Coolant level still at max. As mentioned previously, core plugs replaced as we thought this was the issue. Plug leads are rusty inside. Top of the engine has a greasy feel to it and looks oily/greasy rather than dry dirt. I've been told on my model focus that the jet washers for the front windscreen can leak and they are directly above the plug leads. But I can't see any sign there. Or on the scuttle boards. | |||||
| Answer to: 2012 VOLVO S60 T5 | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The S40, C30, V50 and C70 are all “P1” Volvo cars. They’re some of the best cars out there. They share their Powertrain with the legendary Volvo’s Scotty recommends And the other half is shared with the 2nd generation Ford focus we have over here. The result was that If you look at the ConsumerReports 2011 survey you’ll see that Volvo placed higher then Lexus with their best model being the C30. The Volvo P1 platform is closely related to the focus of the time but I do believe that it’s for the best. They drive like a Volvo should but have excellen ... | |||||
| No power to Headlamp socket - Faulty BCM - Any alternatives? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | DepthOfField | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 2012 focus focus SE. 175,000 miles. No power running to my driver's side Low-Beam/Headlamp socket.Everything else works fine (turn signals, passenger low-beam, A/C, etc.)Obviously Bulbs, wiring and harnesses are fine. Mechanic confirmed the Body Control Module is faulty, and has to be completely replaced.Looking at $1000 in parts + labour. Totally not worth it for a car of this age & mileage, as I'm just going to drive it into the ground in the future. I'm reluctant to get 2nd opinions, and I already dropped $200 to pay the mechanic for 3 hours of di ... | |||||

| I bought a focus before I started watching your channel. Otherwise I would known better. It's a 2015 ford focus with 95 thousand miles on it.They reprogrammed my computer to fix my transmission problems. It seemed to fix it. No jerky transmission. Recently, I was going down the highway and I floored the gas to get around someone. It flashed an engine fault warning and it started slowing down. I managed to get to the side of the road. The car would go forward but at a snail's pace. It seemed to be barely putting out any power and the engine didn't sound rig ... | |||||

| Out of those options, the focus is definetly the worst. The Buick is also pretty low quality. The newer 2015+ Mazda's are pretty good but 2011 had weak engines/auto transmissions. Really, consider the following cars instead 2005-2008 Toyota Corolla 2004-2006 Toyota Camry 2009-2011 Honda Civic 2007-2011 Honda CR-V Literally any car badged "Lexus" that has a V6 engine. 2009-2013 Subaru Forester Toyota Highlander Which ever car you decide to buy, have a independent mechanic check it out and make sure it is in good shape. AVOID Buick, it is part of Gene ... | |||||
| Should I be reimbursed? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Gremlin72 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I had the timing belt, water pump replaced on my 2003 Ford focus for a cost of $950. After I picked up the car from highly rated shop in Grants Pass, Oregon. The focus would miss fire and would stall at random. The check engine light was also flashing. I’m no car mechanic by any means, should I ask for the $120 for having the car towed back , since they claimed they did not plug in the fuel injector on number one cylinder in correctly? I apologize for such dumb question , but recently moved to Grants Pass. After living in Seattle where dealt with the same ... | |||||
| Ford focus 2005 why is water leaking into the spark plug wells/valleys? | 12Relevance | 2 years ago | CKFF99 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2005 Ford focus and it has done 91 thousand miles to date. Only this year have I had a problem with cylinder 4 misfiring. The spark plug well/valley (as i've seen it been called) is full of water, mainly over cylinder 4. I've had the core plugs replaced and coolant topped up and after the spark plugs have been dried out. After a month of being dry they will fill with water somehow and causes cylinder 4 to misfire! This tends to happen a lot in low revs when applying sharp or sharpish acceleration. Any tips on where the water maybe coming from as the ... | |||||
| Should I buy a Ford Focus with PowerShift transmission? | 12Relevance | 2 years ago | RDW1jr | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello Scotty, My dad told me about you...he was a big fan. He referred to you as the guy that waves his hands all around. 😀 I am looking at buying a 2014 Ford focus hatchback for $4000 that has 109,000 miles on it. I have seen quite a bit about the transmission problems these cars can have. My question is that, because this transmission has been replaced, by Ford, is there any reason not to consider buying it? I don't know what transmission they replaced it with or what kind of warranty it may have. Thanks in advance! | |||||
