Hi all
im in need of some help.
my car is a ford cmax 2.0 tdci with 113000 miles on the clock
my car has been playing up a lot for the past 3 months.
it started off just getting a bit hesitant and became really jerky to drive.
then it started going into limp mode all the time.
so i booked it into ford to get it looked at and they came back with a load of fault codes
basically it was an egr fault and the dpf was blocked along with a couple of other bits.
so ford did the following...
replaced egr vlave
done a manual regeneration of the dpf
replaced a temp sensor
relaced a turbo pipe which was leaking
this lot cost me 700 quid
ford said after the work was done the car was running fine on the test drive.
however since the wife has got the car back it has refused to start once or twice and it still keeps going into limp mode.
my problem is that im down the falklands and cant do anything about it.
ford keep trying to baffle the wife with all the techy stuff but fair play to her she isnt falling for it.
surely if i put the car into a garge for a certain fault(cutting out, limp mode etc), the garge then diagnoses it and repairs it and its still showing the same problems as before then they clearly havent done what i asked??
what should be my next step as im getting a bit pised off now !!
cheers
