SIMILAR QUESTION:
My boyfriend has a 2002 Ford Focus. He is trying to replace the alternator. He has it unscrewed and everything but it just won't come out. The book he has on the car isn't any help.
So, how can he get the old one out of his car? * 4 months ago
Ford Girl answer to similar question.
On this particular car, you need to support the bottom of the engine, and remove the engine mount to enable access to it. If it has the 2.0L DOHC Zetec engine, you will need to raise to engine slightly and tilt the engine forward (toward the front of the car), in order to gain the necessary clearance for removal.
On the 2.0L SPI engine you'll need to tilt the engine rearward (toward to back of the car) to get the alternator out. The sizes of the fasteners to remove are three 15mm bolts on the body, and two 18mm nuts on the engine. MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS SUPPORTED BEFORE YOU REMOVE THEM. Hope this helps.
I have an 2003 Focus 2.0L SPI and I did not tilt the engine rearward to get the alternator out. I removed the power steering pump and the radiator fan. This is far easier than tilting the engine... I'm not sure why anyone would suggest this. Maybe necessary for some models, but I'd unbolt stuff all day before messing with tilting the engine.
Who said is your glass half full or half empty?
It depends on who is responding to the question. It also matters if you are filling up the cup, or drinking it.
An optimist, focusing on what he or she has, observes what is in the glass - the full half. A pessimist, on the other hand, focuses on what is missing, what he or she doesn't have - the empty half.
It is always full. It may be filled with 50% of water and 50% of air, or any variation of competing percentages, but it is always full of something even if it looks empty as it could be FULL of air.
It's completely empty until you put something in it.
The cup is half full. A glass can't be half empty because half of nothing is still nothing
If you pour water into a cup until its filled half way, the cup of water is half full.
If you fill a cup of water completely, then empty half of the water, the cup is half empty.
If I told you I poisoned the water in the cup, would it matter if it's half full or half empty?
The cup is not half full or half empty. The cup may be 1/8 off of being half full/empty, but it would take mad skill to get the cup exactly half full/empty. I suggest you do not ask a question, but rather a statement, like, "The cup is 1/4 filled." or "The cup is 3/4 filled." I assume you noticed I said "Filled" instead of "Full" or "Empty". But, since there is the one in a million chance that one of us has some crazy awesome mad skill, I guess you should ask "Does the pot have half of the pasta it can hold?" but add "And you can't say if it's filled!". So, the cup is half filled.
Where is the blinker relay on a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire?

The loud buzzing noise you hear from under the hood when you turn the key to start the vehicle usually means the battery is too low to crank the engine or a loose cable. Some auto parts stores will test the battery free of charge.
Car dies and then won't restart?
spray wd40 on all electrics inc inside distributor cap plugs and ht leads , if no luck get a tin of cold start and spray directly into engone intake , check also foe water in fuel if damp this usually works
the most common cause by far is the coil pack, its easy to change and a fairly cheap component - its certainly worth a try if the management light isn't on. if you want to be sure have the ecu fault code read as other possible causes are cam and crank shaft sensors. good luck.
What is the difference between a mass air flow sensor and a mass air flow meter?
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the mass of the air entering the engine. Because air mass varies with air temperature (cold air is denser than warm air), measuring air mass provides the PCM with a very acurate way of determining the correct amount of fuel to obtain the ideal fuel/air mixture. - Haynes Repair Manual #36071

Remove the wneels then the drum retainer that holds the drum on while it is on the assy line. Then pull the drums off. If the shoes have worn into the drums you have to retract the shoes to let the drums come off. If they are sticking on the center, sometimes heat is required to get them loose.

Where is the fuel pump on a 2000 ford focus?
According to a Hyundai tech bulletin issued Jan 2006, service manuals were published wrong. They show the fuel filter above the tank. It is actually integrated with the fuel pump in the the tank. The pump can be accessed rather easily through the access panel below the back seat. The filter is in the pump mechanism that is lifted out. I have done this, but have not disassembled the pump. I was given the wrong filter by the auto parts store and have seen improper listings for filters online as well.

At what mileage should the cambelt be replaced on a 2002 1800cc turbo diesel focus?
Listed in your owner's manual.
You're probably looking for the VIN, which is Vehicle Identification Number. It's ususally a stamped plate on the dash of the car right in front of the driver at the bas of the windshield (as well as other less obvious places according to the make and model.)
It's basically a unique code every vehicle has that tells everything from where the car was built to what the engine type and trim package of the vehicle is. These numbers are used by insurance companies to help classify rates, for registering the vehicle with the DMV, or for mechanics to be sure they get the right parts for each particular engine type that might be found in that same car.
