Where is the Focus radiator located?

Focus radiator is located in the front engine compartment, on the right side facing the engine. The car radiator maintenance methods are as follows: 1. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine. After the coolant temperature drops, open the expansion tank and add radiator cleaner; 2. Start the engine and let it idle for 5-10 minutes after the cooling fan operates; 3. Turn off the engine and remove the front bumper. Ensure all fixing screws are loosened during disassembly, and slowly remove from both ends to the middle to avoid breaking the fixing clips; 4. After ensuring the coolant is completely cooled, drain the radiator cleaner along with the coolant, and finally replace with new engine coolant.
The water tank usually refers to the windshield washer fluid reservoir in a car, which can be found on the left or right side at the front of the Focus engine compartment. Open the hood, and you'll see a blue cap with a small wiper icon on it—that's where the washer fluid goes. I often refill the washer fluid myself while driving; it's located near the bumper area for easy access. Don't mistake it for the coolant reservoir, which is near the radiator and has a different color. Always check the label before opening the cap to avoid adding the wrong fluid, which could affect safe driving. It's recommended to check the fluid level regularly, as it evaporates quickly in summer and can run empty. After filling it up, using a dedicated washer fluid bought from the supermarket is more durable—avoid using tap water to prevent clogging the nozzles. Daily maintenance is quite simple, and the easy-to-find location helps keep the wiper system functioning properly.
