    I have always wanted a FocRS, and a Ford Raptor 6.2. Had the 6.2 and traded it in for a FocRS 2 weeks ago. This is how my story is going so far. Buying the RS Needed something with better MPG. 10mpg was not cutting it for the Raptor. Needed a 4-door and something that I would enjoy...

    Today I write with tears in my eyes about the sudden death of my RS. I've been the proud owner of a 2017 Nitrous Blue model. The only mod I have is a K&N air-filter. TL;DR: Minor oil leak was fixed by replacing the head-gasket under "good-will" warranty claim on the 2018 head-gasket recall...

    Hello all, I'm curious if anyone has any data logs with a Mountune B3 off-the-shelf tune. Backstory. Around December I took my airbox off to upgrade my shift bushings. When I put everything back together my AccessPort said I was making about 10% more horsepower for no reason. (Normally 409HP...

    I'm currently in the process of buying an out-of-state 2016 Focus RS with 57k miles and is in immaculate condition. But, I have no way of telling if the head gasket has been replaced with the C gasket or not. CARFAX doesn't say it had, and when I called Ford's customer service I was told that my...

    When doing a rebuild it is important to ensure flatness of both the deck and the head. It is also important to maintain the chamber volume as this greatly affects the compression ratio and the octane demand of the engine, and thus it’s propension to knock. Don’t settle for gasket X just because...

    Going to do a school project regarding Quality Control & the RS HG recall. Does anyone happen to have any numerical data regarding the subject they think would be useful? Ex: # of cars affected, number of recalls fulfilled, etc. Thanks in advance!

    Hi All, After reading, there seems to be a lot of issues after the Head Gasket replacements with oil leak or the new gasket then blowing 6 months down the track. Maybe us banding together to find out numbers will make Ford stand up and take notice of once again wider issues which is how they...
  10. Focus RS TroubleShooting
    Hey All I purchased my Nov 17 FoRS from Coffey Ford in Melbourne as a pre-owned vehicle with +-2600km on the odometer. I was given every reassurance that this vehicle was not effected by the widely known head-gasket issues that plagued these vehicles in the early manufacturing runs and after...

    To all RS owners out there, I thought I'd take the time to share my experience to hopefully save you from the same fate when bringing in your beloved RS for it's head gasket recall. First and foremost all of my work was done at Romano Ford in Syracuse, NY and I can't stress this enough, STAY AS...

    I have a 2017 RS, and I am finally getting around to dealing with the head gasket recall. Any recommendations on dealers to perform this work (or more importantly any to avoid) ? I bought my car from Campbell Ford on Carling. I was very happy with my purchase experience but I have no insight...

    Hi everyone. I was hoping that my first post would be me introducing myself and my awesome 2017 FW Focus RS but instead life threw me a (possible) lemon! So let me explain. Back in February I brought my RS in for the HG recall. After 32 days I got my car back. After 3 days of driving the car...

    I'm not suggesting any legal action at this moment. I'm just simply asking a question so don't flame me. Since we all know by now that the whole HG issue is widespread, is anyone thinking that this could lead to a class action lawsuit if things are not fixed by Ford? Just thinking out loud...

    Hey guys, '17 RS owner here. I recently downloaded forscan and wrote the global windows mod to the body control module. Anyone have insight as to whether this could lead to potential power train warranty denial if my head gasket let go? I called my local dealer and they said that they can see...
