Hi all.

My Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi hesitates / lacks power at higher rpms.

Could it be the fuel- or airfilter ?

    More likely to be fuel filter than air filter, i recommend new fuel filter first & see if there's a diiference.

    It is not consistent, it's only when I accelerate most.

    When accelerating slowly it's not there, or almost not.

    It doesn't enter limp mode or like, and no fault lamp come on.
