This filter is essential for the smooth operation of the engines in the Ford Focus (MK3) and Ford Kuga (MK2), especially the sensitive small-displacement 1.0L and 1.5L EcoBoost Turbo Petrol Engines. The filter is designed to fit the specific air box housing for these models, often a large, round/cylindrical insert.
Since this part is a CHINA PART:
Affordability: This option is typically the most economical choice for routine filter replacement, offering significant savings compared to Genuine Ford parts.
Fitment: The filter is manufactured using the OE part's dimensions (approx. $207 \text{ mm}$ Height and $157 \text{ mm}$ Diameter) to ensure it fits correctly and seals within the air box housing.
