Can anyone help?

June last year my 2012 echoboost lost power and it struggled to get up hills. I took it to a garage who said the vacume pump had gone and so i had it replaced (cost me over £600). The same thing has happened again, does anyone have a clue what the problem could be. I dont want to pay out another 600 and surely it cant be the vacume pump again.

    Not sure if you got any warnings etc but I got the kinda same issue, engine malfunction service now comes on. 

    Took it to the garage I got it from since I only had it for not even 2 weeks.

    they say it a vacuum tube/pipe that’s causing the fault.
