Cylinder misfire!

2014 Paceman S with 40,000 miles on it and the check engine light came on and saying reduce power. Got it towed because the car was not going to go anywhere. Check the code and came up with multiple misfires cylinder 1/3. The car idled terribly, the engine engine almost looked like it was no mounted and sounded terrible. I am going to call the mini dealership to see what they say about it. I have no idea to why this would happen. If anyone has any advice please let me know!

That’s what I had figure I just ordered new coil packs and plugs hopefully it fixes! If not it’ll be a nice bill.

Update! Fixed!

cylinder 1/3 misfire due to bad coil pack. Replaced both and car runs great! Sucks that it went bad at 40k though but I guess it could’ve used a replacement anyway!

Nothing is perfect. Good thing it was simple fix. Again a reminder, keep an eye on the oil level.

Been doing that I check oil level about once a week usually a Saturday! Very religious on oil and oil changes!
