Ford fiesta 1.25 zetec petrol 2011 the car recently had a new water pump fitted. Ever since the car ran badly not much power and stall now and again. Had it diagnosed a lot of faults came up mainly abs faults cleared and stayed off after driving, new coil pack fitted. Car drives better and does not stall a bit juddery a low speed at times and the fuel consumption has gone up a lot  i think something has been missed when the pump was changed  any ideas thanks
