How to disable the START & STOP on the Ford Focus at startup.

Model: Ford Focus MK 4 - Years 2018-2025
Part: Onboard computer

In this video tutorial, you can see how to disable the Start & Stop feature on the Ford Focus at startup, following a few simple steps that will guide you towards proper vehicle management. The Start & Stop feature turns off the engine when you are stopped at traffic lights or in traffic, and automatically restarts it when you press the clutch pedal and engage a gear. If you do not want to use the Start & Stop feature, you need to turn on the instrument cluster, start your car while simultaneously pressing the clutch and brake pedals; this way, the Start Stop system will not activate, and when you stop, the car remains on.

In this video, you will see where the fuel filter is located in a Volvo XC60 and how to proceed if you need to replace it. As shown, the filter is positioned at the lower part of the engine, right between the left half-shaft and the sway bar attachment. To replace the filter, first, go underneath the vehicle, taking all necessary safety precautions. Then, using an 18mm wrench, open the drain valve and allow any water present to escape. Next, unscrew the housing, remove the old filter, insert the replacement along with a new gasket, and reassemble everything.
