    Hi

    I picked the car up,all seemed fine,then it went into limp mode (red circle looking like a gear link with an I in the middle). Switched off and back on,seemed fine for 10 miles then same again!!!

    I have had the car serviced,they plugged in a reader but no fault codes stored,also had some dpf cleaner put into the tank and now having the egr blanked off

    It is 06 06 Focus TDCi 1.6 with 100k and FSH,no black smoke and runs lovely when not in limp mode

    So,not too sure

    Cheers

    John
