06 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI has a problem at 2-2.5k revs engine cuts acceleration and warning like light appears?
I can drive along a 60mph and theres no problem but the moment I need to overtake, a Warning light comes up and I loose acceleration. It doesn’t always do it, but usually I’ve been driving at about 65-70mph for a good few minutes or I’m going up hill when this happens. It only does it when the engine has warmed up and the engine is running at between 2-2.5k revs and almost always when I’m in 4th and 5th Gear. However once I’ve turned the Engine off and restart it, it clears and I can almost drive normally though if a bit warily in case it happens again.
A Friend of mine reckons it could be the fuel filter needs replacing but I wonder what others reckon?
