Hi folks.

i have a 2017 ford focus 1.5 turbo desiel that's just started to give me problems. I'm hoping this community can help me . It has a full service history from new by ford, but just recently when I put my foot down I get an engine service alarm due to air intake failure, I plugged a obd reader !.  but it's been serviced , new air filter & hepper filters but it's getting worse, I had my family in the car on the m6 , went to overtake some hgvs engine service came on lost power in the outside lane with half a dozen hgvs bearing down !. Not a good place !. Please has anyone have any ideas. Ford Crewe want £120 just to plug it in!. 

Hi,

This is a misleading message.  It has nothing to do with servicing.  Just means there's an engine fault.

Without knowing the exact fault code it could be a few different things.  Faulty MAF.  Faulty throttle body.  Clogged EGR.  Split boost hose.

I have the same issue when accelerating on a bypass engine service now on dash, after a few times of flagging up the eml came on plugged the car in a transpired it was a maf sensor contaminated with oil, an a little in the air intake hose. Anyone know what's the cause of this 

Sorry, let's be careful not to get these two (separate?) issues mixed up leading to total confusion...(always better to start a separate thread despite the temptation to jump on with a supposedly identical/similar/different issue?)
Plus the risk of posting Focus specific threads in the General Chat forum leading to Mod Rage! 😉
