Engine was probably thrashed before and was put into auction to get rid of it.
That was the saddest ending I've ever seen to a car build. You can't let it end that way, you put too much sweat into it. Cheers from NY 🇺🇲
I enjoy watching your professional work and your ability to do all areas of the car not just the engine but the paint work and everything else I just want to say thank you very much for allowing us to watch you at work and I would love to see a part two and once again thank you very much for video in your work and allowing us all to be in your workspace and watching you fault find and repair
Definitely want to see Part 2. Love the videos. Watching from Canada.
I am super impressed with the work and skill level, l have a ST that is exactly the same colour that l bought from new (2017), it’s a great looking car that performs brilliantly although l never drive it hard, was disappointed to see what happened to the engine after all your hard work. I hope you can sort it out for a reasonable cost.
Excellent work, truly a shame about the engine going pop. As a small side note, you might want to try get the volume difference between the time lapse and non-time lapse segments closer to each other (the time lapse is a LOT louder than some of the sections with you speaking).
Yes , thank you for feedback
🙏🏾God will bless this guy because he didn't actually have to show us the after bit but this shows his honesty 🙌🏽
Focus ST owner here. That was a very tragic and sad ending. Hopefully the owner decides to fix the block. From what I hear it's not that bad of a job, especially compared to the Audi V8s you do all the time. Also surprised the parts were so expensive, I guess that's my benefit of living in the US, Ford parts are dirt cheap here. Cheers from NY!
Would love to find out what caused the catastrophic failure. Such a shame, but like everyone else I would love to see a new engine dropped in and a nice end to this story.
Collins performance are a really good tuning company been around a long time. Sound like its a redline every gear car.
Yeh im with collins mate and i drive it hard for hours. got over 50 miles of country lanes at my back door. It gets hammered for hours. I do a full tank in around 4 hours. My point here is... Im with CP... They are safe maps.
Is that John Collins from the 1980s I used to race against him
@@aminkhan860 Yeh mate its me, im now a professional rally and offroad driver full time, do stunt work on the side too. Who are you?
Tuned engine = time bomb!
I think you mean untuned.
@@Stabfab you think a stock map will kill you’re car you’re right all car company’s make stock tunes to kill
@@DJMAZ514 Lol imagine having a stock car.
@@Stabfab imagine all the engines that died with a stock tune
Not mechanically minded at all but totally in awe of your Jack of all trades skills. The Ford engine seemed so compact compared to those VAG engines you usually work on, but guess probably 2-4 cylinders less in some cases. Wondered about the previous performance tuning whether this had stressed the OEM equipment on this ST. However saw a previous viewer saying a rated company. Think you know now your loyal followers want a part 2. Great work!
All that hard work down the drain. Damn. Would love to see Part 2!
Man takes this to another level wow, mechanic and bodywork all in one👍
You mentioned there was loads of white "smoke". I thought these engines (at least some of them) had head gasket issues (for which there was a Ford recall IIRC.) Maybe it blew a head gasket and enough coolant got into #1 to hydrolock it, leading to a bent-then-broken rod and carnage ensued.
This sounds like exactly what happened 100% agree
Collins performance is based I'm Cheshire, it's a really real known tuning company for Ford especially. Their tunes are very safe and none aggressive. I've always used Collins and never ever an issue.
Yes did check them, CP looks like decent company, not blaming no one really it’s a car, so it might go whenever. Also as I mentioned the car was driven without any boost for some time. Car will be sold as it is on the end.
Thanks for comment!
@@VAGTechnic I was just giving information on them :) I just sold my mk3 focus st in this colour, miss it so much. Its shocking how people can get a nice car like that in that condition. Depending on the tune and set up... there was a while ago a stage 2 tune what was aggressive... required no extra parts but advised you had your pistons done etc with the tune as without this was a risk engine could go... I'd wipe the tune anyway... eliminate everything. But I've just found your channel, in addicted! So talented man. Look forward seeing it finished.
@@deano1864 Thank you very much for your positive comments. :)
@@VAGTechnicwhat oil did you use? Don’t use the additive too. Also try and research how early on in the RPM range the boost comes on, all contributes to LSPI.
Does anyone else hate those Ford chimes as much as I do? If I ever had to live with a Ford (never have in 50 years of car ownership, thankfully) I would hung down that chime source and shut it down.
If you work on cars long enough, eventually this ending happens. I enjoy your content and wide range of skills, I would enjoy seeing a follow up video of the engine replacement and post failure teardown on the old engine.
Great video! Very sad ending 😢. FORD family here in Oz. I drive a 2014 Ranger with a tune and some other extras. Wife drives a 2013 focus tdi 2.0 Titanium with all the fruit. Both diesels THANK GOD!
Greetings from a Ford enthusiast from Down Under in Australia.
Just watched this video 2 years after you posted it.
Loved watching you do the turbo replacement and the bodywork and paint repair, great work and result, but so sad to see it end with an engine failure.
Engine failures like that do happen with engines have been tuned, especially with the Mk3 Focus RS.
Alarm bells rang for me as soon as I caw the CP logo, knowing it was tuned and not knowing it's history can be like playing Russian Roulette.
These engines are prone to low speed pre-ignition (and more so when tuned) and if ownwers are not aware they can be doing harm to their engines with out knowing or cars have been abused and flogged with the extra power.
Feel bad for the new owner who was hoping to get a fantastic ST to enjoy driving and ended up with a dead car.
Was hoping to see a Part 2 with an engine swap and a happy ending for the owner. 🙂
Piękny ten Ford Focus mk3
Engine was allready destroyed... Auction sales are generally full of such cars. Good work on the painting!
I always prime the turbocharger with a high quality oil before fitting. If the unit is supplied with no caps in the oil supply and return, then it is a necessity.
Man man I’m definitely sticking to my Diesel Volkswagens MK4 in my 1.80 MK four Volkswagen wagon
I was just about to post a comment about that car had obviously been trashed , hard life , four months with no turbo running damn , likely bad maintenance history,
But I do like you guys work, too quality
The engine sounded ruff on the first start up, looked like it had been sitting in water with all the crossion and dirt underneath the car
Pretty standard for a ford with the corrosion underneath
Video came up as a suggestion but once the flush additive was mentioned ................
Do tell
Na to jak to vypadalo je to pěkná práce.Taky jsem dělal na lakovne a moc se mi ta práce líbila a taky dlouho opravují auta.Je super jak se to pod rukama mění a vyjede úplně jiné auto👍👍👍👍Jen tak dál😁
Watching the film I wondered why after fixing the turbo you went straight to your body shop. I would of taken it for a drive first and possible saved your friend some money. This video is 2 years old and I did not see part 2 yet
You are certainly highly multiskilled wow. Love your work
Very impressive with all your hard work, and quality trusted technician, that crack spoiled all,,,yes definitely part 2 ,just curiosities what caused the crack, even a short video,,,
CP tune on a factory set wastegate. The failed turbo likely had it adjusted differently. Definitely the tune caused all this wreckage. Make sure to get rid of that garbage ecu and put a stock ecu in. Else, you'll be looking for a 3rd engine.
Clear flood mode on the fords hold the accelerator pedal to the floor then crank you don’t have to mess with the coil plugs cut fuel so you don’t wash the cylinder walls
Either that or remove fuel pump relay for any car.
@@michaelbolivo7975 no that’s too much work.
Theres no need to prime the oil system, oil pressure is next to nothing at cranking speed. On a lot of newer stuff the oil pressure is reduced at cranking speed to enable faster start up (hence not fighting oil viscosity at low rpm)
@@Divided-Kingdom too bad that’s not true at all maybe you should keep your mouth shut if you don’t know what you’re talking about kid
Amazing work. Would love a part 2
Shame that after all that hard work you put in that happened to the engine? Certainly would like to watch a part 2 on the Ford 👍
Your mechanical knowledge just blows me away. Great video
good grief , and it was looking so well too.
As a 2016 ST3 owner..... i need a part 2 please..!!!!
You guys do great work. Love the video's and the detailed info. Looking forward of Part 2 of this ST. What a bummer. After you puts loads of work into the body :-/.
Mate, that was heart wrenching. So gutted for you and the owner after all that hardwork for it to bite you and shit a rod. Seems that ST had had a very rough and hidden life previously.
the mk2 was better imo. sounds loads better with the extra pot. Although these will definitely be better on fuel lol
I bought a Skoda Superb at auction, drove it for 156k miles and on a Saturday night it passed away, trouble free for 5 years though, I would love to see a part ii to see if the Grey Sneaker will live once more.
You got love for cars and your shop is beautiful , 🙏
Absolutely a Part 2 video please.
My st diesel is going to auction it’s done a 100,000 + miles but I e changed the battery the belt new brembo brakes and discs full service history mot till march 2024
Seen ST's with cracked blocks before and yes when rods let go .... seems to be quite common ....
OMG! Sorry for you - though will enjoy engine swop and strip of the old one ! Thanks :)
That song from Gran Turismo 5 kick ass :)
Yes I wanna part two I want to see rebuild an engine
After all hard work on body work great job love second video 👍👍👍
Hold the gas pedal to the floor it cuts the ignition no need to unplug the coils
These engines are crap anyway, had know issues with water consumption and that could be your problem to. Crank was pushed out by excessive pressure caused by water in cylinders. On top of it, when you see label from some tuning house on car like this, what you should do is walk a way, or prepare huge pile of money. If money will not be needed consider your self very lucky. I would like to see owner happy in the end! hope he gets good replacement engine, but be aware, strip the engine to the bone. and check the block very thoroughly. I would also like to see this failed engine striped, just so we se why it failed.
BD Performance are a world of knowledge in regards to Ford's
Really enjoyed part 1, looking forward to part 2.
After 10 mins I think it's obvious
aftermarket tune had more bust than the engine built for. thats what happened and it blow up the engine block. sorry to see this happen.
CP from north lol
This car has probably been thrashed to the limit that’s the reason it was in the auction the last ford I ever owned was a FORD GRANADA 2.8 I X pac brilliant car then they brought out the ford scorpio 2.9 I my mate bought one brand new within 3weeks it was in the ford dealers for a failed head gasket that was done under warranty two weeks later it was back at the dealers for a failed automatic transmission that was my last ford never owned one since 1992
Love this guy,great videos and workmanship,I would definitely take my car here
Great work. I am really big ford fan, been driving those rusty things since forever.
Love the work and the music choice is just awesome 👍
Yes, part 2 please.
Great video I live 5 mins from where the footage of death was filmed lol
If your wondering what happened to the engine it looks to me like it had LSPI (low speed pre ignition) sadly its quite common on fords like that :(
I'd like to see part 2. I'm enjoying watching your professional work. Shame that motor blew after all that work. Yes auction car, probably been good idea to check main crank bearings when replacing turbo, usually something going to break after getting boost back, even though there was no indication of potential failure.
Doesnt really make sense but ok
That sucks, was looking forward to that build
Don’t forget to put the blue badge back on the front
Looks like it's fresh out of a Ford showroom
Yes Part 2 Please
Feeling mine has a turbo issue has noticed the turbo needle never moves when u throttle stationary only until I'm moving and give it full throttle, but my old focus ST 225 turbo needle moved up and down stationary when i bliped the throttle stationary
Guys, if I lived closer, I'd be bringing my car to you every chance I got! Amazing work, really hope you get the thanks you deserve!
Why they fucked up 😂😂😂
@@englishbob5106 the car broke. Wasn't their fault. Keep your negative opinions to yourself in future yeah
If I lived closer I would bring my car to these guys too .You know when is see a good mechanic when you have to work on your car yourself especially when it's and Audi with all the special tools you need to work on them.Totally agree. Keep away from auctions.Once the car is no longer in the hands of the previous owner,the Auction will care very little as to what the car is really like. I bet that Focus has had a good thrashing over it's 6 odd year lifetime.Hats off to you guys you can repair high Quality cars to an excellent standard AND film yourselves doing so with a nice organised and clean workshop.Keep up the good work!
@@matthewpokora336 Oh, shut up yeah
@@matthewpokora336
50 years in the motor trade tells me ,they fucked up , and they know it
I like the color. I am waiting for delivery on a 2014 ST that's race red, but I want to get a similar gray to that but matte.
Man you did this the hard way lol
Deffo a part ii … would love to know what happened the engine. After all that work on the bodywork(which looked awesome) it would be a shame not to finish it…👍
All the dints must be from pop and bang remap. Chavs love it.
I wish you guys were in Poland. Need a workshop like yours, here
Check Poland garage on TH-cam 😉 looks like you have guys with good knowledge as well
I luv the Ford Focus I have one it’s been fantastic
Great video. Gutted for all parties on that one. Great tunes too 👍
Yes please I would love to see what grenade the engine
Part 2 - yes please.
Please part 2 !!
its amazing what a skilled craftsman co do,
Don’t worry about the ford show us more of the mk1 scirocco 👍
Yes,second video please!
Love your video’s
Hvl
Did you follow up this Vid, Sorry to hear about the bottom end, had the same.
Was ECU back to stock, or still whatever performance tune added by that tuning shop ?
Dont know What mapp Was there …
@@VAGTechnic If wastegate was failing when they created the map, and the map was still active with new turbo you may have been running a LOT of boost.
disappointed at the end……but it’s a great work, time and effort….part 2…..yes please…..
Hi Guys, how about a teardown video of that engine, love to see what failed?
Love your work, keep it up!

What a shame after all that work...gutted for you it was a beautiful turned out car.....I repair my son's St225 and it has a stage 2 tune...fingers crossed so far after 4 years engine is still good..however a lot of ABS sensor/traction control faults...gearbox went bang...trying to change that on my driveway on my back was a nightmare....wheel bearings..driveshafts...always something needs doing...his friend has same car...his engine went bang..had it professionally rebuilt by reputable company...6 months later his wife went over a speed bump cracked the sump and blew the engine again due to lack of oil...good cars if left as standard from factory...
Great work Guys as always!
CP...completely poked.
Puma speed were doing crate/short engines at sensible money
I thought the light looked cool but now i realise its there to show up every small fault on the body
Definitely would love to see a part 2
Common problem with the rear arches on all focus? Had to have my 15 plate ST3 back to Ford for the paint warranty
I had 2006 ST and there was same paint problems on rear arches. It seems that paint and rust issues are still there even years have gone. New generation of Focuses still have build quality issues.
injector issue ? stick open hence the white smoke , too much fuel and bend goes the rod , that or a bad map ?
Great job very professional 👏
That’s the Collins effect
Nothing to do with collins preformance. Do you understand how many ST owners get tuned with CP? iv had mine on for years and im FLAT OUT for hours on the weekends. I punish the engine and it keeps giving. Dont act like you know what your talking about. You dont. CP leave all fords safety features in place.
Came out good.
Thats what they say about ford .. fixing or daily repair
Part 2 a must !
gutted for you after all that hard work
