Why is my Ford Transit going into limp mode?

Hear this out loudPauseWhen the EGR valve sticks open or closed this airflow and/or pressure is not what the PCM expects to see and it will throw up a fault code and light, if this carries on for a few engine on/off cycles the PCM will often put the engine into “Limp Mode” to help prevent possible engine damage.

When to use DPF in Ford Focus TDCi?

Rubbish!!!! If your car has a DPF additive is injected every time you open your filler flap, doing as you suggest will deplete the additive in a short period of time, and contribute to early DPF failure, only fill your tank when it is almost empty, note I say almost, not running on fumes. Your additive will then last longer and so will your DPF.

When the engine control module, transmission control module or brake control unit (ABS) detects a problem in the engine, transmission or with the brake system, it will store a trouble code in your DTC memory.

When to turn hard right on Ford Focus TDCi?

Turn hard right in a focus tdci with less than half a tank and boom – limp home baby. I have this car (for ten years) and this is the cause, stick fuel in to solve the issue. This never used to be an issue for me – I used to always drive until the light comes on, but now, when it’s lowish on fuel, a hard right sends it into limp mode – annoying.
