2012 Ford Focus Under The Hood Diagram
Thomas Merino
When my new Focus arrived, it hadn't really been cleaned properly, shall we say. Among other things, I'd to remove the plastic film on the pedals and under the bonnet. One thing I did see was a piece of black plastic wrapping containing some foam. I assumed this was something else which should have been removed by the dealer before the car was delivered to me, but it's well secured and, as such, I didn't want to tear it out. Can anybody let me know whether the black wrapping can be removed or if it's there to protect something? Many thanks.?
Oh dear! I was a bit confused as I tried to find some pictures of other cars to compare, but they all looked a bit different, possibly because my Focus is the MHEV version. On the offside of car, the windscreen wash filler cap is close to the hinge for the bonnet (look at the new picture I uploaded). However, the nearside looks the same as yours and, therefore, does look like I'm missing a bit of my car. Thanks for your replies!
I wouldn't worry, MHEV's will be long dead before the rust gets through the wings. I bet they will soon be missing on all models as poor Ford needs to save every penny it can, and in the name of saving the planet they will be using less plastic, and the car will weigh less and so less emissions. Everyones a winner - except the owner
Same here. Removed the plastic trim and was surprised how much crap had accumulated in there and the narrow gaps from the bulkhead were blocked up with bits of twigs and loads.The wadding that's also down there was soaked through too and is placed right onto the inner wing so no idea how it supposed to dry out over time.
It was a cold and wet day when I did mine so I did not have a chance to check out what it was. It might have been an Alarm sounder or something to do with the Bliss system that I have, it just seems a strange place to put something when there is plenty of room elsewhere. I might satisfy my curiosity when it warms up and have a better look
3) I have problems with my front left parking sensors going off randomly whilst driving and near nothing.
reading between the lines, could I have parking sensor module water damage as a result of fords shabby cost saving shoving plastic bags under the bonnet?
hi all i no this is a old thread but we got a mrk4.5 focus and just came across this issue after 8 months of the anti collision sensors going off all time in the rain that bag was stopping all the water from draining and was over flowing into the engine bay and that box of tricks was soaking wet, so i have found the issue with the sensors faulting in the rain ? as this new car been in 4 times to fix the system and failed waiting on a total refund, and about to order new car friday.
Just purchased a 71 plate 1.0 125 Titanium Edition estate. Found this same black plastic bag padding in engine compartment above nearside wing. Have read other comments but I'm still unclear - a) is it for soundproofing? and b) should I remove and check for debris and blockages underneath it?
Thanks for your quick reply! I only bought the car yesterday from Ford main dealer. Should I ask them to replace the drain cover? I wonder if the previous owner removed it? Maybe the drain was getting blocked? It all looks very clean around there, so maybe I should leave it well alone? Thanks a lot.
