Thank you for this tutorial! When I changed the filter, I was sitting on the passenger side. I just bent over to the driver's side. It was a reasonably comfortable position, so the process was easier than I expected.
Thanx, did the job today !! Managed to get old filter out without taking accel pedal off, but realised i couldnt get new one back in. So took pedal off ! I really dont think a Ford garage will change this !!. Takes at least an hour, 3 nuts on the pedal, 2 screws on the filter cover. You have to be a contortionist to get your body into a position to take things off and everything back on.
Just did this, terrible process, took me an hour or so, and it's nearly impossible to find a comfy position while you're at it. Thanks for showing how-to!
Thank you a lot for this video it was very helpful it takes me about one hour to replace the filter very bad position especially if someone has big body like me. It was the hardest work I did in my ford. Very stupid location for filter I don't know why ford makes every maintenance hard I believe their designers are the worst
thanks a lot for the video. I was looking for AGES for the information of the location of that filter and now I found it. I kinda wish I didn't. anyway. thanks a lot
Focus MK2/2,5 is a british project, so steering wheel and gas pedal stays in right side, giving easier access to the filter. The problem is that almost all countries of the world, drives in the left side of the car.
Does it matters how you turn new filter?? My mk2.5 is just serviced, this filter is changed, but air flow from the vents is still vary bad, like was before. Ventilator is working fine.
Tohle řešení je totálně k posrání s prominutím. U MK3 už to udělali alespoň od spolujezdce, že člověk nemusí sundavat pedál. Když jsem to měnil poprvé, zjistil jsem, že i mechanik v autorizáku, který to měnil předemnou se na horní šroub vykašlal a nevrátil jej :D
Yeah? You should try to replace the thermostat on the Zetec Focus. You have to remove the alternator with the belt because it blocks one screw in order to remove the intake, which is necessary since the thermostat housing is underneath and between the alternator and the intake. Also note here that it doesn't have a tensioner, so you need a special tool to tension the belt afterwards. Also you have to remove the injector rail, and the vacuum hoses to reach it. Fuck ford.
sorry My English is not good, the bolt size is 7 or 8 mm. You need this tools ratchets and sockets www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-4-in-Drive-SAE-Metric-Standard-Socket-Set-20-Piece-H4D20SWS/202923517
OK thanks, The nut on the top right of the pedal is the hardest to remove among the three pedal nuts. If you used a ratchet, socket and extension in the very tight area around the nut, then you have a lot of skill.
@@liythalhamzah8289 yes, you just need to persevere, think it was 10mm, took me an hour to change. Car is 2007, and filter was black, dont think it has ever been changed, although Ford had charged for replacement 2 years previous.
Ano. Focus C-max to má stejné. Dělal jsem to dnes. Akorát nečekejte, že to půjde tak rychle, jako v tom videu. Je vidět, že v okamžiku, kdy vkládá novy filtr, je tam strih. Protože to tam dával určitě tak 20 minut. Aspon mi to tak dlouho trvalo, než jsem ho tam narval. A dost jsem ten novy poničil. Musel jsem to tam narvat úplně na sílu. Když odmontuju plynový pedál, tak tam ještě překáží pedál brzdy a sloupek řízení a nevim co všechno mi tam ještě překáželo. Neni tam ani vidět, natož tam tak hýbat rukama. Blbější místo pro ten filtr už nemohli vymyslet. A být třičtvrtě hodiny zkroucený v prostoru pro nohy před sedadlem řidiče je taky lahůdka. To je tak pro někoho, kdo váží 50 kilo. Bylo to trápení.
Yes, if I had the idiot who had this brilliant idea... And when we spent only 5 minutes to change this same filter on a C3 car yet smaller, in short!!! One question: do you need an elevator to access the filter; I must admit that I tried to twist myself in all positions without success... Thanks for that video.
Lol i even tried that ..I couldn't do it still blood rushed to my head felt headache ..after 2 hours will try tomorow again to reach the top screw of accelerator and filter cover ..it really a hard position no power In hand at such complicated position and the damn socket just wont go on it .. :((((( why ford whhhhhyyyy
No. It is much easier because you just remove 7 torx screws, then you remove the glove compartment and its door (it is snap on), unsnap the leveling lever, and then you remove the safety fuse box underneath and its metallic holder,. In total you remove 7 torx, two nuts and three screws more that holds the filter cover in place. You can easily do it in 20 minutes. It is easier because you have easy access to everything. Plus the screws that hold the pedal down are tight till the end. It is really painfull to remove the pedal, takes a LOT of time.
Ford's biggest design foolishness after the lack of interior boot open handle of course. And all this mess cause they kept the same design from the right steering side models, only that on those models there are not pedals to remove. Fortunately they fixed those issues on the future models.
Imagine removing the pedal only to find out that one of the screws for the filter cover is striped and you need an extractor! This is what happened to me today fixing a friends car. After we finished (yes we didnt change the filter)... guess what? The hood stuck closed! Funny huh?
Thank you for this tutorial! When I changed the filter, I was sitting on the passenger side. I just bent over to the driver's side. It was a reasonably comfortable position, so the process was easier than I expected.
I already disassembled the passanger side when I saw this video... aaaaargh :) thanx for the video bro!

Very stupid location for filter I don't know why ford makes every maintenance hard I believe their designers are the worst
Thank you! I agree with Troung, after looking at this video I was finally able to replace my filter!
I'm about to replace mine today! Thanks for the guide and may God help me! Lol
Thank you guy. Other clipsin TH-cam are for left-hand-side driver while your video is for right-hand-side. I lost alot of time to find this out.
In other words, this video is for Right-hand traffic, the way most of the world drives.
You are wrong , this is the LHD version here .
RHD ( uk people for example )
@@liythalhamzah8289 LHD (Left hand drive.) means the position of the driver. You are confusing it with Left Hand Traffic.
Ford's usual remove-half-of-the-car-to-get-there-and-try-not-to-get-insane game.
thanks a lot for the video. I was looking for AGES for the information of the location of that filter and now I found it. I kinda wish I didn't. anyway. thanks a lot
Thanks for the video man! It is real pain in the ass to replace this filter :D
Díky za dobrý návod
Why didn't they put it behind the glove box like Honda?

Yes. There is an airflow direction mark on the filter. Arrow
@@MichalFlash Thanks. I just can't believe they made such a mistake
@@MrIceColdM RIP
One more thanks from me. Video is most helpful.
Thank you for this video. This is the only one I can find in youtube. Which direction is the airflow though?
Nice video! Thank you!

Anyone know if this is any easier on the left hand drive version?
Thanks for this video👍
Remove a pedal to change cabin filter... Nice...

What is the tool used to remove the nut on the top right of the gas pedal?
hello you need eight or seven on extended adapter for gola
Thanks a lot. I do not know what eight or seven means. Is it the size in mm? And what is gola?

Is this for right hand drive ?
No this is LHD. For RHD it is better change under glove box.
Thanks allot for video
tribute to terror of ford
Lol
What's the dimension of the filter?
Je to stejný i u Focus C-Max 2005?
Myslím si že je, ale lepší bude když pohledáš ještě video přímo na c-max
Ano. Focus C-max to má stejné. Dělal jsem to dnes. Akorát nečekejte, že to půjde tak rychle, jako v tom videu. Je vidět, že v okamžiku, kdy vkládá novy filtr, je tam strih.

muchas gracias buen video....
Parfait merci beaucoup très bien expliqué supers !!
vdaka michal
çok güzel video olmuş teşekkür ederim
Thanks for the video but the pedal disassemble is not understood because your hand is all over ther frame...
Yes, if I had the idiot who had this brilliant idea... And when we spent only 5 minutes to change this same filter on a C3 car yet smaller, in short!!!
One question: do you need an elevator to access the filter; I must admit that I tried to twist myself in all positions without success...
Thanks for that video.
If I did not see it, I would not believe it.
fucck ,i get drunk during fuccking changing that shit,...left open ,..means no filter goes back
Ottimo video
This looks like a right fiddle!
For something that should be done every 15;000 crazy.
TEBRİKLER
👍 Same place on ford kuga
Why did you not unplug the gas pedal, i always just unplug it, then you have a plenty of space 👍
Who came up with this design? Took me two hours hanging upside down over the front seats to get this done.
Lol i even tried that ..I couldn't do it still blood rushed to my head felt headache ..after 2 hours will try tomorow again to reach the top screw of accelerator and filter cover ..it really a hard position no power In hand at such complicated position and the damn socket just wont go on it .. :((((( why ford whhhhhyyyy
Who the hell put this thing here.....
On the upside, RHD model is aruguably worse.
Why ?? I would have thought easier as no pedals in the way ??
No. It is much easier because you just remove 7 torx screws, then you remove the glove compartment and its door (it is snap on), unsnap the leveling lever, and then you remove the safety fuse box underneath and its metallic holder,. In total you remove 7 torx, two nuts and three screws more that holds the filter cover in place. You can easily do it in 20 minutes.

Oh for fuck's sake. Oh well, got to do it today I guess...
my thoughts too
Well Ford that was all pretty simple 😂😂
Going to ask a yogi to do the job for me
Jakby nie mogli dosjcia zrobic z drugiej strony - od schowka. Wymiana by była duzo prostsza a tak chuj!

what the actual fuck
fuckin' ford ingineer
Ford enginers god bless your sins😈.
Fuck me, I like the way he talks you through it Not
Je to tak kvůli tomu, že je to snadnější pro auta s volantem napravo. Jelita v uk a všude kde se jezdí na opačné straně to mají jednoduché.
This looks like a right fiddle!
