Ford Focus - Mechanical problems - McGra99
Hi all recently had my head gasket changed along with the timing belt so on. While driving the car home for the first time, I heard a lot pop like sound come from I believe the front driver side area of the car, and the malfunction engine light came on afterwards. Car lost most of its power when I drove home but the noise never happened again.

Any ideas what it could be ?

All help appreciated.

It could be that a hose has blown off the turbo, should be easy to refit and tighten.
