Cool. Let me know how you get on. If there is a way round this, it will be very helpful. Thanks

Hello there. I had diagnostics done as well and mine came to about £164. I'd assume less than that. Hope it gets sorted for you.

Ok just got back from Ford Garage. I needed a new fuel filter apparently. It was badly clogged. Once changed, my fuel flow and pressures returned to normal working parameters even under load. Glad that's sorted. Thanks for all your help with this everyone.

The Electrical problem is apparently my own fault. Apparently there are multiple errors in the log due to me using an after market audio system. This is also related to my alarm and central locking issues. Is there anything I can do to work around this. I struggle with the fact they made the whole system interdependent. I asked, "can't you tell it to not check for ford audio?" I was told in short that I have to remove my car audio and replace it with the original.

Any ideas on a workaround?

That combination of error codes sounds to be to possibly be a duff sensor, or a fuel filter clog that is causing those errors to combine. I think the low fuel is causing the diesel it burn improperly, letting deposits out and clogging the dpf... Because of this, the engine is forcing a regen more than it should be.

When was the last time the EOLYS fluid was topped up? or did I miss it in the thread...


Hi thank you for your help. I have no idea about the EOLYS as I've only owned the car six months. It hasn't been looked at as far as I'm aware. The last two days the power loss issue has gone. So a faulty sensor is entirely possible. Is it likely to be expensive to fix if it is that? I've nervously booked the car in to a Ford dealer for them to take a look. Typical if they can't reproduce the issue as its temporarily stopped doing it!
