Offered this car for $1800

My vehicles command start is not working through carplay. It keeps saying my vehicle is on to which it's not. Has anyone else had this issue?

Car doesn’t crank and triggers as soon as I turn the key, I have tried both keys and neither of them work.

Battery is 3 months old and holds charge with no unusual voltage signs.

Any suggestions on what could cause this? Any advice would be a massive help

Thanks

Hello everyone, i have a focus mk2.5 zetec s with a sunroof. I bought it 1 year ago used. Seems like i have fallen victim of the very common problem of this generation. Water leaks inside the cabin... But there is a twist.

I cant find water anywhere, but the car smells like moisture or something is wet for a long time. I have looked in the boot, completely dry, the sunroof 2 front drains work fine, the driver and passenger side mats are completely dry, the headliner completely dry. The car still smells like something it's wet after every rainy day. I have even got the car biologically cleaned, worked for a few months then the smell came back.

Im on the verge of selling the car just because of this, i cant find a solution and i keep spending money. One day it rained so hard that the roads almost became rivers. The next day when everything outside was dry, i got into the car and literally everything i was touching was damp, the steering wheel, my cloth seats, seat belts. Also the front windshield was fogged up. But still no sign of water somewhere looking like a pool.

I cant find the problem, either the car traps moisture inside for some reason, or there is actually water somewhere which i cant find. Any ideas? Literally anything will help, i dont know what to do and im not ready to spend 500€ at least to strip my car off at the dealership.

Finished HR screening, in next 2 days, panel interview was scheduled. 3 days later, panel interview was done. This was one and done.

Followed up with recruiter. Yesterday they stated feedback is positive, you are the only one being considered at the moment. They are waiting for final feedback and approvals and will get back to me today.

It was complete silence and nothing came by. I am not sure how to interpret this. What is the final feedback and approval they are referring to? If the panel gave a positive feedback after the interview, what more approvals is the recruiter referring to?

Just curious to know what to expect and whats the reason for delay here (when the HM during the interview stated they want fill the position ASAP)?

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello,

I’ve got a 1982 LTD Crown Victoria that’s developed an issue with the power windows. Over the course of two month the windows have on two occasions completely stopped working all together. All four, all at once. The first time after a few days the issue fixed itself. The second time was today, and I’m still unsure what could be the issue here.

In the fuse panel I see there is a slot for a power window fuse but there is nothing there, nor has there been since I bought the car last year. And the windows worked fine up until recently. There seems to be no female pins to connect a fuse in this location either.

I checked the wiring in the door jams, all good there, checked the connections at the master switch on the driver door and found a few connectors had some corrosion, I cleaned them well with some Contact OL and still nothing. I heard there is a small relay mounted to the passenger side just inside the engine bay under the hood, I found this relay and checked it out, it was also gummed up, cleaned this up good too and still, no power to the windows. Also heard there may be a relay inside the cabin next to the passenger footwell along the chassis, found 3 relays here all of which were in good condition, and tested good. When I actuate the window button, I’m reading about 0.3V.

This issue seems to happen randomly when I turn off the vehicle, on the drive in to work this morning the windows were working fine, but when I started it up to go home, no power windows at all. I’d like to avoid completely tearing up the wiring harnesses just to trace the problem here so I’m hoping someone with some experience with an issue like this has 2€ to throw in 🙂

I got a brand new 19 mm socket and loosened 12 nuts just fine with it. These two just wouldn’t turn. I had to drive the socket into the nut with a rubber hammer. Then I tried many times to turn them, finally when I pushed the bar really hard while turning it started to move.

But that was just half of it. I had to get really creative removing the nut from the socket. I smashed the stuck nut and socket combo with a crowbar and they finally let loose.

I hate it when it happens!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking to buy a Ford Focus Mk4 from around 2019, preferably one of the earlier models with the Ford badge positioned above the grille.

From my research, it seems that the 1.5 EcoBoost with either 150 hp or 182 hp, paired with a manual gearbox, is considered one of the more reliable engine options in the Mk4 range. Is that true, or are there better choices I should be looking at?

I'm also interested in the maintenance side of ownership, particularly:

• What is the recommended replacement interval for the wet oil belt?
• What is the replacement interval for the timing chain?
• Are there any common issues that tend to appear as these cars get older or reach higher mileage?

At the moment, I'm seeing several examples for sale with around 100,000 to 120,000 km on the clock, priced at approximately €15,000. Does that sound like a fair price, assuming the cars have a full service history and are in good condition?

I'd appreciate any advice from owners, mechanics, or anyone with experience of the Mk4 Focus. Thanks in advance!

I loved this behemoth. From the 06-08 era, the recession. Haven’t lived with him since I was 10 but always had great memories of this truck. Can anyone define it other than it being a lifted 250? Me in 4th grade next to it

Have any opinions Ford’s 2027 lineup? Looks like they’re setting up some new EVs and updates on the current ones.

Seems interesting to me but I wonder how they’ll fare in the market

Should I?

2011 F-150. Using ForScan. I tried to read the new racks config and it only gives me the first block. I can’t get it to do anymore. But I decide okay I’ll still just overwrite with the factory AB, but it gives an error trying to load it.

Thing is - the truck drives perfectly. Like it doesn’t even feel like it needs an alignment. I’ll probably just take it to an alignment shop anyways, should I try to get them to do the programming? Or if it works it works

用odb读车的冷却液温度，基本低于80°C，偶尔上到80多，换了温控阀还是一样（不是原厂的）。目前没有故障码，前一段时间出过三元催化器码，但自己消失了。还有就是耗油大，标称12L，但这个车15-18L，跑高速耗油也高达15L。另外也换了进气流量计和温度计。

现在想知道这个温度到底是否正常？不正常是其它什么原因？多谢！

I picked up a 2016 Mondeo wagon in Sydney this week and the seller said it had been serviced before sale. The tyres are a bit older than I expected and I’m unsure whether to get the brakes, fluids and pressures checked straight away or just drive it and watch for symptoms. What’s the first-week routine you lot follow with a used Ford?
