Ford Focus 2.0 zetec 130 2003 mk1 parts wont fit??
Discussion
Hi, new to the forum got a problem i need some help with.
bought this focus not long ago (3rd Focus now) all around good appart from the Oil sump. Cracked rusted and leaking, the drain plug was rounded off really bad. Decided to hit Euro's to get a new one.
Started the work on my car i drained all of the oil out i had to make a hole in the sump, this was too easy just poked a screwdriver through, i couldnt remove the drain plug at all. Removed all the screws for the sump, slowly working around the sump to remove it.
inside the Bottom of the sump was quite clean for a 13 year old car.
The new part i got is meant to fit the 2.0 the problem i got here is the new oil sump will fit on but will be in the way of the downpipe Basically the Design is like the other way around if you can picture it..
I went back to euro's for a refund, argued with them for about an hour that it dont fit my car.....
Got the refund, Orderd one of Ebay and again the same part....
What am i to do now scrapyard does not want to sell a sump Ford said 295 for the original..
Also the oil pickup strainer was broken so i need to get one of those aswell.
What about a st170 Sump and pickup strainer, can i fit those on instead?
