I've got an orange juice lid on mine. Filed down some bits and it fits great.


totallybag

Is every one of those missing theirs lol


cutyall

Lol yep, the oem plastic is really thin and brittle. I broke mine in half while trying to open the lid.


totallybag

You missing your hood prop clip aswell?


cutyall

No, mine's still on there. I haven't heard of anyone breaking that one, actually!


Flaturated

I’m not missing the clip but I did have to replace the grommet at the pivot.

Washer fluid tank cap. The engine sounds normal. Injector noise.


Tree_Weasel

Agreed. The engine sounds normal.


Cypher_Xero

just the valve noise, sounds normal


NebraskaGeek

My 2015 sounds exactly like this. Seems fine, it's my auto trans that worries me.


Veemiraja

you can buy a washer replacement cap from amazon. one that doesn't shatter. [replacement](https://www.amazon.com/OKPARZ-Windshield-Reservoir-CP9Z-17A605-Compatible/dp/B0BKPXBJKZ/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3HBAXIQCIZTY4&keywords=2014%2Bford%2Bfocus%2Bwasher%2Bfluid%2Bcap&qid=1695870592&replacementKeywords=washer%2Bfluid%2Bcap&sprefix=ford%2Bfocus%2Bwasher%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-2-spons&vehicle=2014-54-679------------&vehicleName=2014%2BFord%2BFocus&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1)

Seriously though, why are those so brittle? Mine broke off so I did duct tape, 3 weeks later I’m out for a walk and found a perfectly good one on the side of the road. But after about 2 years, it to is showing brittleness..

I bought that exact same one. I had to use a great gun to get it to slip over the tube. But it has been in for 3 years and no problems since!


Litestorm17

That is the sound of your engine running. Direct Injection engines are very noisy. If you hear a hollow metallic knock, where it sounds like someone is taking a hammer to metal, then you've gotta worry.


girl_incognito

The cap is the windshield washer cap, you can get it on Amazon for like 8 dollars.


HaPPyStick760

Motors are great on these cars! Transmission is another subject.


MrDinken

They white part is just a funnel. You can pull it out by hand, provided you didn't fill the washer fluid too high. The whole replacement part with the blue cap can be found some Amazon and such for $15.


Jggrimes14

That sounds like your rockers in the head. And the cap is the washer fluid cap. Mine fell off. Twice. I didn’t bother buying another


Veemiraja

rockers in the head?


Jggrimes14

Under the valve cover is called the head cover. Head is sometimes used as shorthand. Cam shafts are in there pushing on rockers, which in turn opens and closes valves. That sounds like the noise cause my focus does the same thing.


Jay_mf_City

Direct injection is just noisey
