Ford C-Max
The compact MPV on the Focus platform, sharing its engines, gearboxes and most of its electronics — so Focus material of the same years covers nearly everything, which matters because far more was written about that car. What a reader gets depends entirely on the market. Europe had it from 2003 with petrol and TDCi diesel engines and a seven-seat Grand C-Max with sliding doors; North America had only the second generation and only as a hybrid or Energi plug-in, using Ford's own power-split system rather than anything shared with the European cars. So a European C-Max and an American one are barely the same vehicle in service terms, and searching without establishing which is a waste of effort.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
