I live on the outskirts of town here in the Phoenix Arizona area. Man, can it ever get dusty here. In fact, there's lots of new construction out here on the east side of the Metro area so it's very dusty nearly all the time. Now imagine how it sounded when I took my 2006 Focus Wagon in for an oil change and wanted air and oil filter replacements and the tech told me that he couldn't change the air filter. ??Huh!?? I know there are K&N HEPA filters that can be washed in hot, soapy water but he said there wasn't even a listing for any new part. Later, I went to a large Ford dealership and they also could find no part number at all for a new filter. They also knew of no way to clean whatever my car has for an intake filter element. Let me remind you again of how dusty it gets here. You know those scenes on the news of the Iraqi desert where you can see only a few feet in front of the camera? Well, it's like that here too when the monsoon storms blow in durning the summer. I'm sorry to say but I simply could not accept that my new car would NEVER EVER need a new air filter out here in the Southwestern desert. When my 16 year old daughter needed her 1st car I decided to buy a new Toyota, Yaris for her. How can I trust people who tell me my new car is happy "eating" all that desert dust?
I'm thinking of replacing the whole 2006 Focus with a Toyota before the intake clogs up completely unless I can get a staight answer from Ford to this question: How do I either replace or clean my 2006 Focus intake air filter? Come on now. This is the last chance. I want a real answer or I'm gone to Toyota before my Focus chokes-off completely.
Joe.
