Fixing a tiny crack in the coolant reservoir of a 2012 Ford Focus with a 2.0L engine can be done with some basic tools and DIY skills. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to assess and fix this issue:
*Note:* Ensure that the engine is cool before starting this repair.
*Materials/Tools Needed:*
1. Replacement Coolant Reservoir
2. Screwdriver
3. Pliers
4. Hose Clamps (if needed)
5. Coolant
6. Safety Glasses and Gloves
*Step 1: Safety First*
Always wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself from any coolant spillage or sharp edges.
*Step 2: Open the Hood*
Pop the hood of your Ford Focus and locate the coolant reservoir. It's usually on the passenger side of the engine bay, near the front.
*Step 3: Drain the Coolant*
Position a catch pan or bucket beneath the vehicle to catch any spilled coolant. Carefully remove the cap from the coolant reservoir and set it aside. Use pliers if it's difficult to open. Allow the coolant to drain into the pan.
*Step 4: Remove the Reservoir*
Using a screwdriver, carefully disconnect any hoses or clamps that are attached to the reservoir. Keep track of their positions to reconnect them later. Once disconnected, remove the reservoir from its mounting brackets.
*Step 5: Inspect the Reservoir*
Examine the reservoir for cracks. If you find a small crack, you can attempt to repair it with epoxy or a plastic welding kit. If the crack is significant or if the reservoir is severely damaged, it's better to replace it.
*Step 6: Repair (If Necessary)*
If you choose to repair the crack, follow the instructions on your epoxy or plastic welding kit carefully. Make sure the area is clean and dry before applying the repair material. Allow it to cure fully before proceeding.
*Step 7: Install the New Reservoir*
If you're replacing the reservoir, insert the new one into the mounting brackets. Reattach any hoses or clamps that you disconnected earlier. Make sure all connections are secure.
*Step 8: Refill with Coolant*
Using a mixture of coolant and distilled water (as specified in your vehicle's manual), refill the coolant reservoir to the recommended level. Check for any additional leaks around the new reservoir.
*Step 9: Bleed the System*
Start the engine and let it run with the radiator cap off. This allows any trapped air to escape from the cooling system. Keep topping up the coolant as needed until the level stabilizes.
*Step 10: Check for Leaks*
Inspect the area around the new reservoir for any signs of leaks or drips. Also, monitor the engine temperature to ensure it doesn't overheat.
*Step 11: Close the Hood*
Once you're confident that there are no leaks and the engine is running at the correct temperature, replace the radiator cap and close the hood.
By following these steps, you can assess and fix a tiny crack in the coolant reservoir of your 2012 Ford Focus without the need for a mechanic. However, if you're uncomfortable with any part of this process, or if the crack is extensive, it's advisable to seek professional assistance. Coolant system issues are essential to address promptly to prevent overheating and engine damage.

Problem solved!
Easy fix - Coolant Reservoir Expansion Tank
Amazon Link - amzn.to/2WKAy5c
Turned out to be a pin-hole sized crack in the radiator reservoir tank, in the engine compartment.
This was much more affordable than going to a mechanic!
The pin-hole crack caused the water in the radiator to slowly leak out and cause a low water problem that was only detectable when the car was cooled off. I'll have a video of the updated and fixed problem. I'll add a link to the reservoir that I replaced.
It was a fast and easy fix!
Here is one on Amazon for about $40 bucks - I paid about $50 in the auto shop

Hi i have the same problem in a ford focus 2012 you think is the coolant reservoir? And why that happen?
Please tell me. I have a problem: the water in the tank is boiling, but the temperature on the dashboard is normal (working area).
Please tell me. I have a Focus MK3 2015 1.0 ecoboost. When the air conditioner is on, everything works fine. No overheating. But if you turn off the air conditioner and drive. The coolant in the reservoir begins to boil, but the temperature on the instrument panel is normal. Help me please. I'm tired of this car, I want to pour gasoline on it and burn it.
Thermostat, having same problem. On just stopping the car the warning comes on and the arrow starts going up. But when I get moving the temp reads normal and warning is gone. Replace temp housing also since it's plastic which don't know what ford was thinking.
Did it work out?
Hey
I have a got a issue my heather doesn’t work, even I drove for 5h the Heath stay cold and the fan of the radiator stays on any solution please
Check coolant levels and check for leaks in hoses and cracks in coolant reservoir tank. Did you get it fixed??
Please tell me. I have a problem: the water in the tank is boiling, but the temperature on the dashboard is normal (working area).
Hey do you think that may be the same issue for my car as well I’ve replaced multiple things but the revisor is very old and looks cracked a little but only issues is shoots past the very good red like bitch drops right back down ?
I was going to replace the intake manifold tomorrow as well
It’s a fast, relatively inexpensive fix, and if it’s not the problem then you’ll have eliminated the potential problem in the future. I’d replace it just in case also check the hoses and clamps.
There’s a link above for the part on a Amazon and local parts stores have them for $10-20 bucks more.
Also be sure to read the comments to discover other possible issues. Keep us posted and good luck deuce661 👍🏼
My cadilac do them same because i i put a hold in it and put quick fix to seal it now my car heat and cool gauges started to raise up but go back down its your radiator
Final results??
I have this issue and found out I have leak in one of the hoses or the reservoir is leaking
Thanks Adrian, what was the issue? What make and model car?
Same problem here I change the coolant reservoir in hopes it would work and nope still every now and then I have to to turn on the heater and drive a lil quick to cool it down
Me too. Having the same issue
Any solution?
how did you solve the problem?
My car have that red light that blink on and off when I was parked do you know what that is? The light is really red. Please and Thank you!
Not sure. Did you find a solution?
i have had the same problem for two years. my radiator is fine and has fluid so i wonder if this is not a chip issue my heater was only blowing cold air prior to my light coming on. i pulled over for 5 minutes and it hasnt happened since.
Definitely check the reservoir tank fluid levels. See the pined comment. Thanks for checking out my video!!
Same issue, but my coolant was gone out the reservoir refilled it to Min level and still emptied out somewhere
Did you get it fixed?
Problem solved! - Easy fix - Crack in the Coolant Reservoir Expansion Tank - (Amazon Link) - amzn.to/31Hx7hK
Turned out to be a pin-hole sized crack in the radiator reservoir tank, in the engine compartment.
It was hard to detect in the wet, winter months but as the hotter dryer months approached I was able to see the built-up steamed water under and around the reservoir tank under the hood.
I ended up refilling the tank over and over, which lead to me needing a radiator flush because just adding water to the radiator causes all sorts of issues.

What’s going on auto zone tommrow
Dude my 2012 focus does the EXACT same thing. Totally random.. I went to the store, no problem with temp.. It was cool outside well.. 30 min later I get in my car and start it. The engine was idling for about 3 minutes as I check emails on my phone.. I then start driving and get the overheating alert! I pull over and shut off the car.. within 2 minutes the temp gauge showed normal temperature? This has happened twice, very random?? I’ll have to read through the comments here and see if there is a resolution.
Today I was in two car services with similar problem and both said it's the cylinder head gasket.
Thanks, Greg! Did you solve the problem!? I later had a leak in the lower radiator hose going into the firewall. Replaced it and the problem was solved again!
This car has a great coolant system IF YOU KEEP COOLANT IN THERE... that should be the first thing you check and if it starts over heating, even just for a second, stop the car because it can really mess your engine up and it’s not worth it

Esai Brandon Yeah it appeared to be a little cooler an issue. Embarrassingly enough that solved my problem. I had about half a gallon of coolant or water to the radiator reservoir and that solved it.

So did it work out? Haha I'm having the problem with my 2008 Ford focus the thing is is that I was installing an LED light way down below the Grill in the front of and bottom of the car don't ask haha just had nothing better to do with my time that day anyway I end up pushing on this plastic piece which is near the radiator and the plastic piece seems to be pretty tough so I left it alone didn't push it anymore but still it is strange because I'm wondering if there is a gauge on the other side because literally that's when the problem started as soon as I got back in my car the problem started.
Why does my radiator Fan blow on high speed after just starting up the car?
Coolant is max and oil is full lever
Not sure, this car had a small crack in the coolant reservoir that caused a slow leak of radiator coolant, then a warning came on on the dashboard when the coolant got too low. Part replaced and problem solved! Did you find your problem?
Found the problem. One of the grill air shutter's "blinds" if i can call it that was disconnected from the motor, and the system picked it up and caused the intercooler fan to keep running.( i think its a safety thing)
Good to know!
Same problem here what I found on my car is that in the front bumper behind the front bumper there’s like blinds that closes and opens don’t know for what reasons are there but I keep them open at all times an there’s no more over heating

My problem is with my transmission. I drove it one day, and the car just starts screaming at me saying the transmission is overheating, and the gas pedal wouldn’t work. I got a quote from a shop for a NEW transmission for about 3 grand about a year and a half ago, but haven’t driven its since. My question to you, and anyone in the comments is: Is there another fix to it? Or do I have to get a whole new transmission for my car.
th-cam.com/video/0Fh5G6ebD8s/w-d-xo.html this is what I did and it worked.
What ended up happening??
Might have a faulty fan coming on and off...you know. Or a sticky thermostat.
Any update?
I had the same issue it was the cooling temperature sensor for me
Thanks for the update!! Stay cool :)
ITS NOT A CHIP ITS. YOUR. Thermostat or sensor temperature so it could be either or that's what's causing your overheating cuz I have a 2012 Ford Focus S as well and that was my problem

Good morning, how do I know if I should change the temperature sensor? What I see is that when I start my vehicle in the morning the needle goes up somewhat quickly to the middle (between 30 seconds and a minute letting idle) but it never goes beyond that no matter if I drive a lot or leave the car running for several hours on a hot day... is that a symptom of a faulty temperature sensor? or that could be a symptom of the Thermostat that is failing?
I’m NOT a mechanic… but mine is the same. Stays in the middle. I think you might be OK. Just never needle way past middle..
Hi I've the same problem. 2 minutes after starting the car the temperature gauge go to the middle...any one know why ..
Did you get it checked out .if so what was the issue
I had a 2014 focus 2.0L. Tried set cruise at 110mph and had high temp show up. I slowed down to 80mph and temp went back to normal. Speed up to 100 and pop warning. As long as I stayed at 80mph or slower it was all good..lol
I've hit 110 mph in my focus. Never doing that shit again🤣. Don't want to blow the motor like I did my first car lmfao
Wow. What happened in the end ??
Hey bro my name Robert . i have the same problem . bro. . i have a 2012 ford forcus. Iam gonna do my reaserch and today . and tomorrow ill let u know what u need to do ..

I am having the same problem with my 2016 st3 mk3 my boost dosnt kick in properly when it gose up but when it comes back to the middle the boost kicks back in can anyone help me out please thanks
Have same problem here. Still looking for a solution. 2017 st3
I have sorted out my issue. Turns out that one of the fuses inside the engine bay was blowing up. I replaced it couple times but it was blowing minutes after. What helped me was cleaning ground connection between fuse box to the body and between engine and body
@@henrykstrzakowski3937
What fuse was it?
@Southwest Sasquatch it's a fuse inside the engine bay right beside air filter (as far I remember F32 10A) What I have done except replacing fuse couple times was cleaning earth bonding between fuse box and frame and engine and frame. Let me know if that was the case 😉
Any luck?
Same issue with 2014
Ford Mondeo 2010 Diesel, loosing coolent, then sometime rasiator fan keeps running even after I turn off engine, also engine overheats and can do not accelerate and stalls.
There is no coolent loss under the car, can't see any leak too. What's the problem?
Not sure. good luck!
hey did you fix your ford ? because im having the same problem only start wont accelerate saying stop safely high temperature
@@dreyxmusic No, not fixed yet. changed thermostat with coolent housing, coolent temperature sensor, EGR cooler. Still loosing coolent somewhere. The coolent reservoir pressure is high and bubbles and smokes, tested with blue colour fluid, but it does not changes colour, so possible no head gasket leak.
But car does not tall anymore and drives ok. All I need to do is put water in the coolent reservoir. Don't use coolent as it just disappear somewhere.
@@Tahsin_Hussain Have you found a solution, on the same boat, mine keeps giving that same message then the temp goes to the max and the car just stalls, i turn the engine off and there’s still something running in the back
@@KingCod091 Thats your Radiator Fan running on the background to cool it down.
Just had this on 2015 kuga turned out to be failed water pump.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you got to a solution :)
j'ai problem egui monté en au rouge
Happens to me all the time. All I do is add coolant then I won’t see the message for about 4 to 5 months.
I just add water and I don’t see it for that long either
Thanks! Glad this helped! Did you get a permeant fix?
So my issue was I have a bad head gasket. As long as I was easy on it while driving it wouldn't really burn through coolant.
My 2014 ford escape is doing this right now and I recently had just been able to add antifreeze and it went away for months now the antifreeze is pouring and I mean pouring out the bottom got quotes on parts and labor for water pump replacement it’s 505 bucks dropping it off tomorrow but need a way to actually get it there that I’m still trying to figure out I’ll update what the actual problem is with mine after it’s fixed
What was the problem and did you get it fixed? I've added a whole bottle of coolant and it went away the same day. I see no leak so I have no idea what it is!!
We’re you able to solve the issue? My 2012 is doing the exact same thing and I have no idea why. Tried everything I know and still nothing
Yes - embarrassingly enough it seemed that the radiator reservoir was low on water or antifreeze. When the engine is cool I topped it off and filled it up. That seem to solve the issue. Which is concerning for a larger problem but I haven’t looked into that yet. Try topping off the coolant reservoir for the radiator. Mine would take about half a gallon. I’ve done this about three times since posting this video and everything works smoothly. It also fixed the heater issue. Which I’m guessing is related.
Mine too. It did it at first when i was in the drive-thru lane waiting behind several cars then again a little while ago while the car was in PARK and running for a couple of minutes. The coolant level is fine. Also, the a/c is blowing hot when I'm at a stoplight or not going fast. What is weird is that it if I'm parked and the a/c is on, it will blow hot for a few minutes then all of a sudden it will blow cold. People tell me it's the fan not blowing.

@@christaannh5868 What do you mean?
So my wife has a 2012 Ford Focus SE. She drove it an hour to the town where she goes to college.
When she got there while she was in a fast food line, the car says "HEY I"M OVERHEATING BAAAHHH"
So she blasts the heaters, doesn't drive beyond 50 MPH. Car doesnt overheat. She's in that town for 3 days, drives back home via the HW, same safety precautions taken... Heater on full blast, staying at 50 MPH or less, does not overheat.
So we take it to the Mechanic... they tell me that they can't replicate the scenario.
They left it idle for a couple days, and took it for a 30 minute test drive.
This test drive was probably in town, I don't expect a mechanic would want to intentionally take a faulty car to the highway 😆 so not exposing it to the HW conditions that triggered the overheat issue.
😕 So now wut?
I guess we'll take it up and down the HW by our town and see if we can get her to overheat again but I'm at a loss for what to do next if a mechanic is just gonna say they dunno.
lol how many miles on that bad boy??
I am having coolant leak somehow in my 2014 focus, was told to put water in it by my mechanic until he can resolve the issue, and not to waste coolant, is water OK for just this temporary.? He says it’s OK
I used water for months but it can build up corrosion and cause issues down the road (pardon the pun). Most people recommend a good radiator flush once everything is fixed. Def consult your mechanic!
@@NickKosta thanks so much!
Distilled water only
Head gasket,reservoir, or leak. Using untreated water will add to your issues.
Distilled water is for lead batteries, not cooling systems. " Treated water w coolant".
I’m having the same problem!! Same car.
Changed my thermostat. Water pump. Serpentine belt. Etc , still overheating but does drop back down also
Mine was the radiator!!
Did you have to replace the radiator? What was the cost?
Ford Focus 12 …. You need to change a thermostat sensor,,,I already have changed, problem solved,,,
Glad you got it done!
Blown head gasket and warped head ares was doing something 2 months after we bought it go to autozone and pick up a little bottle of gasket and head sealer that u can add into ur coolant resiovoer tank make sure it say that on the little blue bottle after about an hour it will run just perfect like brand new it’s 18.00
Thanks for the tip! It was a cracked reservoir tank.
Thermostat is gone
That’s the fix?
I have a 2016 and had the same exact problem except the bitch would literally shut off and turns out it wasn't holding water. Definitely an east fix.
How’d you fix it?
how did you solve the problem?
It’s been doing this all day

Location of this sensor? Pls help
What happened?
In my case it was the cylinder head gasket.
how much did that cost
@@tamurkhawaja7279 sorry to mislead you. Gasket replacement didn't help. Just fixed the problem. It was broken oil radiator. Oil was getting into the coolant in small quantities contaminating it and causing fake overheats. Good specialists helped with detecting and curing it.
How did they fix?
@@NickKosta they just replaced the oil radiator (it's the part where you connect the oil filter). The problem is gone now. It's that simple.
I got a 2016
Did you find the problem!? Check the heater hoses for leaks and check the coolant reservoir for cracks underneath - look for signs of water evaporation under it, white salty-looking stains, etc. Keep the water topped off in the coolant reservoir.
I neede coolaint thanks
thermostat
Yea Ben, it sure sounded like a thermostat! But it was, in fact, the Coolant Tank Reservoir or Coolant Reservoir Expansion Tank! There was a pinhole crack that went undetected in the wet, cool, winter months. It turned out to be an easy fix once I figured it out. I swapped out the old one with the new one with a pair of pliers and a rag.
Heres the part on Amazon - amzn.to/2WKAy5c (on sale 13 bucks off as of this response)

Any idea what the solution was?
Ill solve all you problem its a radiator or fan think about it
It was literally was a tiny crack under the coolant reservoir. Replaced the part and problem solved. Same situation for many others. But, each car is different. Best of luck, let us know how you fixed yours!!

Quit buying fords is my tip
Fr tho man ford is fucking garbage u less u grab a stang
Don't get a Dodge, that's my tip.
Ford has its own problems like any other car manufacturers, some vehicles are more reliable. So Ford isn’t bad, if you take care of it, also #1 in America (NOT GLOBAL) they’re one of the best here in the United States.
No sir. Ford USED to be ok but not anymore. I’ve had 4 of them so I know the truth.
