Hey mate, awesome video!!!! just wish i could have found it easier! I tried searchin TDCI and 2007 and then found this and its almost identical and gives me SO MUCH INSIGHT that i wouldnt have had without this video. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE IT!!!

I ordered my master cylinder after discovering a leak from where the clutch pedal meets its pivot point. This is the best video i've found to help replace it, even if it is still pictures and a right hand drive. I'm in the US. But this should be able to guide me for this repair. I might make my own video, we'll see. If I do make a video I'd like to leave a link in these comments for others if they are going through what i'm going through.

Kuddos for mentioning that little seal! It can cause a huge problem! When you dont even notice it in disassembly and lose it.

Most awkward job i think ive ever tackled... Never lost so much skin in my life lol.. Excellent video, thank you for posting..🍀👍

You're channel is very helpful source of information, 1 of the best on this utube.....i just did mine and saved me a tone of cash at the mechanic, cheese from Australia down under

You may want to specify British. Looks like I have to remove the battery and the air filter box as well.

Thanks for the video Jim, it gave me the confidence and knowdledge to attempt this job. Don't think you need to remove those scuttles. Maybe it makes access a little easier, but not much. Master cyl; twist to the right to remove (viewed from pipe end). You can see the little ramps which facilitate insertion. I lubed my new one with a bit of fairy liquid which helped it slip in nice and easy :)

Really helpful video just done the master cylinder on my wifes car this video was so helpful thank you for posting.

Great video Thanks mate! Just about to tackle one at work and was hoping for a quick twist out job lol how wrong I was! At least now a know what must be done. 👍

Hi you made it look easy unbolting it. I did the same way, only to hit the safety bar behind the dashboard, ..

Just loved your video. It gave me a lot of insite, and did, indeed decrease my stress-level. THANKS JIM !!

i have a 2016 ford focus manual transmission with the 1.0 ltr ecoboost engine,,my clutch pedal doesnt move up,,and the mechanic i brought it to said he has to remove the transmission to replace the master cylinder,,is he right?

This causes clutch pedal to stick? Sometimes to the floor!? Ford obviously knew about this which is why they made a metal replacement. Why has there been no recall on this. This is a massive safety issue.

nice job can i watch the full video i have 2005 reg mk2 ford focus

very complex exchange. Does brake fluid also go for the clutch pedal?

Hi, like the video, struggling to get clutch master cylinder in the slot?

Very helpful the best I've watched.

Hy. Thanks for the video. It was very usefull. Now i m at the second intervention that was looking good until restart. Now i have 2 errors: tire sensor error+parking aid sensor error and also wont unlock the steering column. Do You have Any idea what i ve done wrong?

hi Jim great info ,Im replacing the master cylinder on my focus but there is additional sensor at the other end of the master cylinder engine side any ideas what this does cheers

Hi Jim on the master cylinder itself it clips to the side has a square block connector think it might be clutch position sensor

My focus has a very hard pedal and it feels like the clutch comes out very slowly, could that be the cause?

I got Clutch position sensor A circuit high code p0808. All sensors are plugged in. Any suggestion how to fix ?

Currently have this issue. Damn, looks like a more serious job than I thought :(

Great video, everything exactly as described. I just can’t seem to get the pedal out, I’ve tried twisting turning wiggling, just about everything. Is there a certain movement or direction you found worked best?

Since clutch master cylinder and brakes uses the same fluid. Do I have to bleed brakes too after I pour all the brake fluid from the reservoir?

Hello thanks for making this video, do you know where I can get that metal push rod replacement from? Thanks

When I press the clutch pedal it squeaks. What should I replace? Car: Focus Mk3, 1.0 EcoBoost.

Did you remove the steering wheel column for this? It is not mentioned as a step so I would suspect not? Why was the connection to the steering rack removed?

Thank you for this great video ! Can you confirm that they are 2 clutch pedal sensors/switches ? I think that one of mines not working (no more Start&Stop), so I've checked the first (in your video), easy to remove and working fine, but didn't see the second (top sensor) because it's more difficult to acces.

I changed the complete clutch and flywheel set on Focus MK2 1.4 petrol, but the pedal started to get heavy. We bleeded the liquid, but sometimes the clutch pedal is really hard, other times it is not. Probably the master cylinder needs changing also?

Thank you a lot!

Ive changed this on mine and my car wont rev past 3.5k rpm when stationary so thinking its one of the 3 sensors, what does each sensor do.. 2 inside the car and the sensor on the master cylinder?

Do you have a part number or when I can get one with the metal bit on only ones I find online are plastic

Would a symptom be brake fluid leaking on your clutch pedal?

Anyone know if this is the basically the same procedure for a 2011 fiesta?

I posted this on the focus st forums, i replaced my master cylinder, put everything back together, checked it four times before putting battery back in and my car won’t start when pressing the clutch but does start when pressing the brakes, any clue on how or why this is happening?

Seriously long and fiddly process that must take alot of time. According to our local garage in Bristol, we have just had a new "slave cylinder" put in for £140. Took a non-Ford pro about two hours. Money well spent and not a ton of cash when the part is sold for about £35 to £45 incl vat. PS: The master cylinder was done 6 months earlier at a cost of around £200 - £240. Small Ford Ka mk 2 cars can give you big head-aches.

I had mazda zoom 3 2005 manule From where i can get one with steel arm i replace it 2 times withen 3 years and the origenal one has a plastic arm?

How long is the job

2:37 loosen it or lose it?

how many hours and labour Cost on average ? my pedal needs replacing 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Hi Guys, should i put any type of grease anywhere on the shaft or tip? Heard it’s a must in this procedure but haven’t really understood where exactly to grease it

I have a ford focus 2016 1l

Great video,thanks for share 1 subscriber + ✓.

I could have done without the music and you could have explain shit better then wrtting it down. But thank you anyways.

This is a pig of a job. If it wasn't for the seal plate integrated into the cylinder, it would undo and come out through the bulkhead in the engine bay. Absolutely the worst design.
