MrL Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Good morning, I'm new here so be gentle!! I've got an 07 mk4 2L tdci Mondeo. A little while back I was going away for the weekend, filled the tank and set off down the motorway. Within about 20 miles I had an engine malfunction message and limp mode (but no engine management light). It disappears when I restart the engine but comes back at around 3000rpm. It was suggested it could be the egr so I've used a can of egr cleaner but no change. Yesterday, I disconnected the electrical connection for the sensor on the top of the air box and the problem disappeared. Nice acceleration, no issues. I've bought a new air filter which I'll change after work and some dpf cleaner just in case. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've got a 600mile round trip tomorrow and need to decide if I should take my wife's dreaded 1.2 fiesta! (Nice car but I'm 6'3!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next most likely is glowpugs (but based on 1.6TDCI really) There will be an error code. Have a look through: Any questions, post here. Peter.
