Where is the engine number located on the new Focus?
2 Answers
The engine number of the new Focus is located on the cylinder block, specifically on the rear sides. The engine model is marked by the manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations or industry practices, indicating information such as the production company, specifications, performance, features, manufacturing process, intended use, and product batch of the engine. The new Focus is a compact car with body dimensions of 4647 mm in length, 1810 mm in width, and 1468 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2705 mm. In terms of suspension, the new Focus employs a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've been driving Ford cars for almost twenty years, and I'm very familiar with the location of the engine number on the new Focus. Usually, it's on the front side of the engine in the engine bay, and you can spot it as soon as you open the hood. When I last checked my nephew's 2018 Focus, it was engraved on the engine block near the radiator, with the numbers being a bit small and requiring some dust wiping to see clearly. The engine bay is quite cramped, so it's good to wear gloves to avoid burns while searching, and it's also a good opportunity to check the engine oil level. The engine number is like the vehicle's ID card, essential for transfers and repairs, so noting it down for future use saves trouble. The location might vary in older models, but the new Focus keeps it consistent. If you can't find it, just refer to the owner's manual, which has color-coded diagrams for guidance. Once you remember the location, you can handle it yourself without visiting the shop—how convenient is that?
