It's time to change the plugs on our '06, 2.0 litre Focus. I've just popped the engine cover off, and noticed that the plugs appear to have coil packs on top of them. I've never removed coil packs before. Can the wise folk of this forum offer me any advice? Obviously I'll need to unbolt the packs, but is there anything I need to know, do the packs then just pop off like a big plug cap, do I need to dis-connect the battery etc?

Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Its simple just like unplugging a plug lead. Unplug the multiplug to the coil and remove the 8mm bolt. Then pull the coil off the plug. They can be tight and the spring inside that forms the connection to the plug can come out of the coil but its easy enough to push back in. Just be carefull when moving them as they are quite fragile. Having said that I have never known one to fail.
