j05h Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Wondering if anyone can give me an idea. My 2008 focus is going in to limp mode intermittently at high revs i get the red cog with exclamation mark light. If i turn it off and back on its fine and might not come back on for a few days or might come on after a few mile. The car seems to smoke a bit more than usual when i start it in the mornings but other than that it seems fine until i rev over 3k. Any one else had this issue?

TomsFocus Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 You need to have the fault codes read tbh. Without that you could end up throwing lots of unnecessary parts at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdci-Peter Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The red cog with exclamation mark light usually means a commucation error between modules, eg on one of the CAN buses. As Tom says, you need the DTC codes. Search for EML327 and Forscan on this forum and elsewhere. Not expensive, and usually easy to use. Peter.

j05h Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Got a guy coming out to read the code tomorrow 40quid. Thinks it might be the camshaft sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
