Ford Focus MK1 - Coil Packs, Leads and Plugs 

nice information. I have a Mk1 ford focus. Good car. Had a a few niggles but been reliable

Excellent Video. A Ford Focus Mk 2 (2003) is losing power while driving. It is idling badly. There is a misfire on Cylinder 4 error code. I am suspecting the Ignition Coil is faulty. Where can I get a Bosch Ignition Coil?

The Originals were actually made by Magneti Marelli. i have just replaced mine on ST170 as a preventative maintenance.

Another great video. Stuck to copper ngk's when I replaced mine last year but I have never checked gaps, always just assumed they were set right. Will have to pick up that gap tool now. Dropped mine into the garage today for the timing & auxiliary belt changes. Also ordered the 2 new vents for the boot so next weekend can hopefully get stuck into sorting the leak. Wouldn't happen to be planning on doing a video on a complete coolant flush would you?? 😉 Want to do mine but I'm better with visual guides.

When I first changed the plugs on mine the gaps were huge! Around 1.5mm. Caused a lot of misfires on idle. Changing the coil pack and the plugs did a lot. I believe it was the fisrt things I changed after I found your channel. Are you sure about it not beingg a wasted-spark type? I have seen cut open OEM coil-packs at school, and they only have one set of coils.

I bet you would laugh (a bit). I use that 503 490 Bosch coil pack, since last January. Works like a clock, starts the engine at third "cough", even in really cold winter mornings. As a matter of fact, my whole ignition sys is Bosch. 357 141 HT leads, and 532 514 "super4" plugs (in 1.8 Zetec). These plugs have 4 outer electrodes. I'm not sure about the gaps, but I guess it doesn't matter in this case. The spark will find itself an electrode to get contact. I change plugs in two years. They're quite important parts in an engine, for a bargain. I wouldn't use any plugs for more than two years.

Would you agree that to those that want more power you are better off going for a slightly bigger engine than what they currently have? (Say go from 1.6 to 1.8??) I was watching a video with John Cardogan, auto expert. (the bald Australian guy that gets people discounts for their new cars in Australia) about remapping etc and he said "to buy a car that suits your needs" and not to mess with it.

What spark plugs i need to use if i have the update version of the coil pack I’m running now ford genuine 2050957 which they are from my vin number catalog so do i need to open them to be 1.3mm or should i buy a genuine ford with 1.3mm from the factory ? I if that what i should do what are the part number for genuine ones My car is 1.6 zetec

Just done this cos had coolant in Spark plug wells

Hey what is the order in the new coil 1,2,3,4 ?

Hi enjoyed the video it was very informative I’m currently looking for a left side axle or the tripod joint for the axle for an MK 1 Ford Focus 1.6L, can you help direct me to one that I can purchase online ? I live in Trinidad in the Caribbean a dealership sells Ford Focus cars here but some of the parts like the axle or axle tripod joint for the MK1 Ford Focus 1.6 European Models are extremely difficult to find here. Any help will be appreciated thank you 🙏

Speaking about plugs, diesel focus mk1 glow plugs likes to glue themselves to head. If you don't know what you doing or you are not confident just go to repair shop to change them. Also I have idea for video for you. When you have full washer bottle does it leak on turns or hard brakes? If yes how the hell fix that?

Hi, I’ve just recently got myself a 2001 y reg mk1 focus 1.6 zetec all new to me, I own a Ford capri 2.8! No ECUs here to contend with! I need you!! I’ve started to fix an error code P0303, changed plugs, leads & coil pack though which one I don’t know, but still I have the same error. Do injectors fail? Really like your videos very informative & very knowledgeable on mk1s 👍🏻

bosch parts are good?i mean stock coil is made by bosch.

sounds a bit raspy is your flexi going?
