SeanyCozzie24V Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 well this problem has just started tonight. i was driving along and then the car started chugging really badly and the battery and oil warning lights came on. the car started to cut out. can anyone shed light on this problem?? also i put £35 worth of petrol in it on friday and it has only done 190 miles??

starfield Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 try and mix your fuel with Shell v-power. it could be that you have filled up with poor quality fuel. let us know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 how old is the car? 1.6 petrol focus's have a problem for water leaking onto the head, pull out a plug lead and check for water in where the plugs sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 sorry, its a problem with the mk2 focus. the lights are on because the engines stalling/cutting out. is it still happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
