This will usually happen then naturally allowing the car to decrease speed by taking your foot off the accelerator then applying it again. This can also happen when just cruising in 5th. We have a 2006 Ford Focus Zetec 1.8 TDCi Climate Pack. After picking it up from the garage we bought it from, we noticed that there would be a loss of power when driving, mainly in 1st or 2nd gear. It has happened when pulling from a junction in 1st, and also when going uphill in 2nd. The basic block is the same across all 1.8TDCi engines. Obviously the fuel pump, injectors and ancillaries etc will all need swapping over. If you get a new engine is look into getting the fuel pump timing belt replaced with a chain, peace of mind it's not going to fail again! . 1.5TDCi (120ps) Save. bayley84. 09 plate 1.8 TDCi focus with 79k on the clock.
