Cooling liquid (Focus Turnier 1)

The coolant in the Focus is a mixture of antifreeze, anticorrosive agent and water. Ford fills the factory with a coolant that is approximately 50% coolant concentrate (ESDM-97B49-A) and 50% water. This is sufficient for reliable protection down to approximately -30°C. The liquid begins to gel only at -38°C (freezing point) - a value that in our latitudes is usually only theoretical. Most coolants lose their effectiveness after approximately four years and should be replaced no later than this period.

Antifreezes commonly available in the trade are suitable for topping up; according to the manufacturer's instructions, they should be mixed with water. Be careful with cheap products: they do not always contain effective anti-corrosion agents and can also corrode light alloys. It is advisable to use only those agents that meet Ford specifications.
