Prezzy Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My 2013 Galaxy has been flagging up 'engine malfunction' messages. No change to vehicle handling & it clears itself after the engine has been off for a while. Just had it in to Fords & they plugged it in. Strangely no codes were found! Any ideas guys?

Minkibiz Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Can be because of a fuel filter? I had that issue just after I got my car, looked as though the lady that had it before me never changed it -_- It didn't throw a code at the time but I gave it a full service and it was fixed, after looking in the filter it was clear why it wasn't happy... I have a 2009 1.6 tdci fiesta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prezzy Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 In this case no. I had a full service with fuel filter change last month. So did the car. Plus wouldn't a filter blockage flag up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Filter blockage shiuld trigger low fuel pressure dtc, .is it 2.0 tdci? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minkibiz Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I was surprised it didn't throw a code, I didn't change anything else other than new oil as the air filter looked new, but it didn't and has been fine ever since I changed that. But fair enough, as we have already crossed that off the list maybe bad fuel? which might not throw a code? My mate had a split inter cooler hose and that caused it to go into limp mode, but that threw a code. Other than that I can't think of anything else? Wish I could be of more help mate.

Prezzy Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 @Iantt. Yes bud it certainly is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The only thing I know of that puts engine malfunction message on without a dtc ia a failed in range dpf sensor, that could cause your situation, , I ssume its still under warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prezzy Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 It is but there's only 4k miles left on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 If it keeps doing it , get ford to have amother look and mention the dpf sensor, they can check that out to rule that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prezzy Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Phoned them back & told them your theory. They want me to go to their main dealer in the next town when it happens again which is a bit rich. It was still on when I approached them last week but they were too busy! Hey ho we'll see how this pans out. My mate's a mechanic & he reckons £500 for a new one & it's not something he can do so fingers crossed it goes before my warranty runs out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Sensor isnt expensive £80 approx, not saying thats what it is but I know for sure it can fail without any dtcs, and puts message on dash. Why it does I dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prezzy Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hats off to you sir that's exactly what it was. I was getting a bit uncomfortable as the mileage only has 1700 left for warrantee.

Prezzy Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hmmmm maybe I was a bit hasty. They replaced it on Monday & now it's back again!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prezzy Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 A lightbulb moment!!! When I took it back & lost another best part of a day in takings they phoned to say............they hadn't replaced the part after all. So I'd paid for 3 tyres which took 8 hours to fit!!!! All done now though.....apparently. I don't really want to berate Ford as an owners club member but they really p'd me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
