01 Focus - loss of power

    Hi all,
    01 Focus seemed to lose a bit of power and I noticed that there was a low, bassy rhythmic noise coming from the engine.

    Before I was able to park up, the engine light began flashing for about 20 seconds, then discontinued flashing.

    When I parked there was a bit of a burnt smell.

    I didn't actually check the oil level but I topped the oil up only a couple of months ago.

    I've recorded a video (below) and you might be able to make out the noise if you have good bass on your speaker, over the engine noise.

    I haven't brought it to the mechanic yet, just wanted to post up here in the meantime to see what it might be.



    Edit: Just realised I didn't finish the post title!

    It could be a coil pack but best to get it diagnosed. Also on those focuses checking the oil weekly is the best bet as they can get fond of it.
