smaxdvdplayer Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Has anyone had experience of the 2007 1.8 Diesel S-max chugging, and loosing power... (could not even overtake a lorry on the climbing lane going at 40 mph) across all gears (except 1st) above about 2000 revs? This has started with me after I drive the car for about 30 mins or more.... once the engine has warmed up. I have parked the car and am hoping to get it to a ford garage this week for diagnotic.

FORD 1 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 When my A3 did the same it was the diesel particulate filter on the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 When my A3 did the same it was the diesel particulate filter on the exhaust. could be injectors and its in limp mode even a bdly blocked diesel filter or a sensor i think diagnostics is the best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
