scatty1 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I have a Fiesta zetec s, 62 plate, 1.6 diesel. I drove home from work today through snow drifts, nothing too deep but still bad. The car has previously had no problems but all of a sudden it flashed up on the dash 'engine malfunction, service required'. The orange spanner came up on the dash by the Speedo and then it lost power and came to a stop. I turned the engine off and on again and the message went away. Then it happened again, a few times, before I got home. I left it for a bit when i got home then let it run for 10 mins on the drive and took it on a short trip and it did it again. I am waiting for my mechanic to get back to me but anyone had anything similar? I can't even get it to a garage at the minute with the state of the roads.

Luke4efc Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 You've gone into limp home mode. An obd2 scanner may bring up a logged fault code. I wouldn't drive it as it is, the limp home mode is there so you don't damage the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
