That seems like a weird problem. have you tested the intake manifold gasket?

@@modaufygarage Hi, thanx for your quick reply. I did a smoke test and found smoke emanating only from one fuel injector to head interface, so i'd hope it should smoke thru the intake mani. gasket as well if it were leaking. Also, I dont think I would be getting consistent (not sure why they are so exact) negative fuel trims if I had an air leak. The o2 sensor seems to be working ( I put in a new one, but car was vibrating even with the old one), the fuel trims do fluctuate and my short term fuel trim is good, always b/w -5/5%.

😂😂

You’re welcome. Awesome! Thanks for the torque specs. That’s weird that your had to grind off 3mm for a ‘replacement’ part. I recently did the front suspension on my falcon and the top strut mount didn’t even fit, so I reverted back to the originals.

Thanks for the feedback! 😊

@@modaufygarage please add more of such videos for major services, different work you do on the bike , because i own one and need to learn from you example - Major Kit Service includes : *Washer *Air Filter *Top Cover Packing *Spark Plugs * FORK LUBRICATION *BRAKE BLEEDING *RADIATOR (COOLANT REPLACE).

These cars are getting older now so much parts might get harder to find.

@@user-rz1qv8dt1p I hope that’s on a race track 😂 have you done a diagnostic scan?

@@modaufygarage it is diappointing as speedo reads 240km/h. Will get only. The world has gone soft on us, a soft man if no longer hard

Lots more mud!

It was a case of brain and mouth not working together 😂😂 thanks

I checked the gearbox oil afterwards and it all seems fine. Not much came out of the radiator.

I don’t have an FG but if I did and it was leaking I’d do a video for you

@@modaufygarage No worries we need to keep these beasts on the road otherwise these younger mob will be weak and bleak. I will nominate you for Aussie Story thanks

@@user-rz1qv8dt1p we most definitely do need to keep them on the road.

Sorry, I didn't write the part numbers down when I did this and I went to the auto parts store to get them. I looked up the part for this model focus and the gates part no seems to be 5PK705SF. I think the 5 refers to how many lines there are in the belt which should match up to the harmonic balancer. I hope that helps

It was so much easier just getting the sway bar out of the way.

Do you know what time on the video I mentioned that?

Have a look and check to make sure your cable is connected properly.

You’re welcome! I hope changing your struts out went smoothly.

Sorry mate, I don’t have any experience with gas. Could it be with the wires?

Just got it fixed ...turns out the gas converter needs hot water thru it mine was cold so gas was freezing which inturn stalled the engine or surging also set the cam sensor off ... replaced cam sensor didn't fix it obviously...was there's a trans cooler was blocked no heat at heater and converter ....runs mint now

@@user-bk6ob4fu5r glad to hear it’s all fixed now.

It’s not going too bad, some has lifted up, where the car tyres rest. I’ll try and make a follow up video.

You’re welcome!

This is why I started making videos in the first place, to help people out. Don’t worry there are always lots of swear words haha! Keep up the good work and thanks for watching.

I'm not sure if FGs suffer from the same issue as the BA/BF had a totally different design.

Mine has snapped 3 times

@@freeponyrides oh wow!

Thanks for the positive feedback. I hope you figure out what might be wrong with your car

Probably not, unless you were able to find new gas struts that don’t extend as far. Apart from that I don’t know what your options might be.

@@modaufygarage Thanks for the quick response mukka!

I ended up doing a full brake bleed off camera at a later stage.

They just clip in there. From memory there are 3 clips.

You’ll find they are easy to fit.

@@modaufygarage yep ! Changed mine yesterday after getting 2 new ones. Literally only have those ring clips holding on the ball head! Pry open with a small scissor!

@@T.K.9 excellent news!

Yes, changing them was a waste but that's what happens sometimes. I did have a couple of spare ignition coils at home and I tried putting those in first. When there was no change that made me think it was the coils.

That's a good questions, if I remember correctly I think I got it from Clark Rubber.

@@modaufygarage baaa that's what the Bunnings guy said, guess I got a trip to make then damn it

Not to sure but a quick google search tells me there is a discrepancy between the actual position of of the gear selector (Inside the vehicle) and the actual gear that the transmission is in. Maybe try and move it manually at the gearbox and see if that makes a difference. Good luck

Wasn’t sure I needed to do that. Will keep it in mind for the future.

If that is what you mechanic is recommending then only change that one. I thought for me it would be easier to change all 3. If you notice any vibration then change the rest.

You're welcome and thanks for watching! Glad you could get it done yourself!

Thanks for watching. I did fill the oil to the 2nd line then took it for a ride to get it operating temperature before doing my final check, I think I needed a little more oil to get it to the upper dipstick mark. I did say to put in less and fill as required. I based my oil fill on the owners manual that I got from the Triumph Australia website. They suggest an oil fill capacity of 3.2L for an oil and filter. Triumph also indicate that the top of the upper marking on the dipstick is at the end of the cross hatch (at the top). Also the capacity of oil I removed (previous service done at a mechanic) equals the amount I put back in. The manual states, "when full the indicated oil level must be level with the upper marking on the dipstick". I would be happy to know if Triumph have come out with a revision for this as I have been working with what I have read.

Unfortunately life has got in the way and I haven't been riding much, as in it has been sitting idle for the last few years. I intend to start getting back on it soon. The camera does also make things appear cleaner.

That's a good point when I do them next

It's lots of fun, and when they are fixed it's so much better
