Dean1.6tdci Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi Im new to this site and im hoping someone can help with my problem as garages and mobile machanic's keep failing!! I have a 1.6 tdci focus estate 55 reg which I bought around 9 months ago. When I bought the car it ran perfect for 2 days and then suddenly it cut out on me at traffic lights. A light came on the dash that I think is engine management light ( looks a bit like the sun lol) I restarted engine and the car ran fine until I went to accelerate from a junction, the car lost power and went into limp mode. It has done this ever since. The way I get past it is to quickly turn engine off and on and it resets itself. I have had car serviced and had egr valve cleaned but didn't help. one thing I did notice is when we had a few months of hot weather it ran fine, But now its cold again its worse than ever until I have ran it for 20 mins or so. Hope someone can spread some light on the problem Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 can you post a pic of the light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemon123 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I had the same problem with my focus but without a light coming on. What fixed the problem for me was changing the fuel filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
