A new thermostat for a 2008 Ford Focus will cost approximately $15 to $30 in parts alone. If you need help with the installation, you will likely have to bring it to a mechanic, resulting in a total cost ranging from $250 to $430 for parts and labor. It's common for thermostats to fail in this vehicle after about 10 to 12 years, so a replacement may be necessary. If you decide to tackle this task yourself, be sure to select the correct thermostat for your specific trim level as different trims require different types.
Typically, replacing the thermostat in a 2008 Ford Focus will cost between $150 and $350, although it may be slightly less at times, coming in just under $350 in certain situations.
The responses previously provided were quite accurate. I recently replaced the thermostat in my 2011 Ford Focus SEL in New Hampshire for a total cost of $289. The breakdown of expenses includes $225 for labor, $50 for the thermostat, and $14 for antifreeze. This maintenance was completed yesterday, marking a lifespan of 11 years for the previous thermostat.
About 40 bucks, but the journey there is quite challenging.
