Do you happen to have a visual comparison between the OEM and the PIU swaybars? I'm assuming the PIU is thicker?

Sorry to revive an old thread. Did anyone ever find out what causes it? I started the car a total of 4 times this morning. 1 - no fault 2 - fault 3 - no fault 4 - fault

I stopped monitoring OAR the week after I started tuning my Focus ST. Use good quality fuel and it'll always be -1.00.

I know this part helps with launches. Is there a noticeable improvement when just daily driving? I recently did the subframe inserts and could feel an immediate improvement even just driving around.

Before I was tuned, I was using an OBDII Bluetooth adapter and using Torque Pro. Now I'm using a Cobb Accessport, then I upload the log to datazap.me

If you are going to the 8" vent pieces, then yes, you will need that utility box. That area in the 10" version looks similar but has a dip down in the first inch of it. I still use mine as a storage area but it's not a flat surface like it is on the 8" version.

Are you tuned? Your tuner should be able to address that.

It sounds like installing these parts helped reveal a problem that was already there, but was being masked by the stock NVH levels. These parts helped amplify the sound and you were able to hear the issue after the parts went on. If the noise is still there with the OEM parts, then the dealer...

Has anyone had any luck with getting the cracked DP replaced by the dealer while also having an aftermarket catback on it? I recently installed a Thermal 3" and discovered in the process that my driver downpipe was cracked. I am still under powertrain warranty, ESP, and emissions warranty, but...

That sounds like the dealer really doesn't want to replace it. Did you get it fixed? Did your pinion bearing show any symptoms when you had the OEM parts?

I messaged that guy but he never got back to me. I think his option looks great. I'm happy with my ziptied screen into my 10" vents though. I just put my toll pass in that ugly gap since I have to have it on my dash anyway.

For some reason, I can't find the LiquiMoly 1850 anymore. Only the 1800 and 1900. I am thinking about trying HPL Teal next, it meets the ULV spec.

The trans dipstick is on the fill plug of our trans. Directly above it is the driver side floor pan pretty much. I don't see how we'd be able to fit a dipstick that can be accessed from the engine bay.

It still hasn't returned. I'm going to conclude that it was front diff fluid, hopefully that helps anyone else with this common leak.

Spray it with some brake cleaner or degreaser and see if it returns. It looks like Mercon ULV (trans fluid) but I have no idea how it would end up all the way back there. Maybe you ran over a bottle of trans fluid somewhere?
