Ford Focus MK2 2.0 TDCI - Issues with loss of power - Natasza
Hello everyone! I’m new here...



Apologies for new topic, hope it’s okay, got issues with my ford.



it’s 2.0 TDCI 59 plate

She’s done high mileage 230K, had her for two years no issues whatsoever, in fact received plenty of compliments about how mint she’s been going .

(cambelt replacement, full service done, MOT’d few months ago)



Since two days she’s got loss power, as soon as I press accelerator fuel consumption goes from roughly 7l/100 to 32-40, surprisingly when on cruise control fuel consumption goes right down.



No smoke coming out, oil filled, no lights on dashboard , unplugged battery overnight to reset computer- tested on OBD today - no codes) car starts on first turn of the key, other than being sluggish no other issues. Doesn’t overheat either. No sounds from the engine or so.



any ideas what it could be?

I’m worried it might be turbo failing... or injectors ?

She’s a brilliant car, never failed gotta admit I struggle financially (just sorting my move up north etc) ... any advice would be appreciated!

If you have a laptop I recommend Forscan. You need an Elm OBD connector and Cd or download. Can get it all on internet auction sites.

It's great. Buy one and see what error messages you get. Only cost about £10
