Where is radiator cap in 2001 Ford Focus engine?

The radiator cap on a 2001 Ford Focus is located on the top of the radiator, usually near the front of the engine compartment. It's a pressure cap, and will be round and fairly prominent. However, because there are different engine types for that year, the exact location might vary slightly.

To find it:

1. Open the hood: Locate the hood release lever (usually inside the car, near the steering wheel or under the dashboard).

2. Look at the radiator: The radiator is a large, rectangular metal unit at the front of the engine compartment. It will have hoses connected to it.

3. Identify the cap: The radiator cap is usually black plastic or metal and will have a noticeable top for opening it. It may have markings indicating pressure or warnings.

If you're having trouble finding it, a quick online search for "2001 Ford Focus radiator cap location" along with images should help visualize it. Be careful when checking it, as the system will be under pressure when hot. Only check it when the engine is cold.
