MiltyG565 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi I have a slight problem with my 2 ltr diesel c max. 2008 . Having trouble with intermittent sudden loss of power, may only happen once or twice a week. It's had checks at garage & showing no faults been re programmed yesterday but same problem happened again. Can anybody help? Thanks Hard to say. Although, my dad currently has a C-Max with the Ford/PSA engine. Apparently a common fault is blowing the turbo on them. Not sure yours is the same engine though. This is what was wrong with his one. It was driving, but not boosting. The turbo had already blown when he bought it. I'd check the turbo, just to be safe, and also check the little oil filter on the feed line to the turbo.

gaz63 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Had the turbo checked and all fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 is it MK1, or MK2? the turbo intercooler pipe shouldnt be a problem, but I had this (check my signature for the turbo intercooler pipe) fix myself. So there are no error codes at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz63 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 None at all. It can run fine for days and then all of a sudden its like I have taken my foot off the pedal very quickly .it doesnt cut out just loses power then I take my foot off then press again and its fine.

jeebowhite Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I had that and was going to replace the fuel filter, mine was run down at best, I still have it if you want it cheaper? Sent from my MY SAGA C2 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz63 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just had the car serviced and changed all filters in case that was the problem , someone told me it could have something to do with the pedal censor but I thought that would show up as a fault. But thanks for the offer on the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 No worries well it could be related to the potentiometer or the throttle body. Because of the intermittent nature you need to try pin down what you were doing at the time, for example accelerating hard for an overtake?
