Hi there,
I wonder if someone can help me please.
I have a 1.4l Ford Fiesta TDCi (05 plate). It was serviced in May and passed its MOT last week.
However, there is a problem in that it keeps losing power.
When I leave home I get about 1 mile down the road (doing 20-30mp in
2nd or 3rd) and it feels like I am taking my foot off the accelerator- even though I am not. The loses power for a second or so and then comes back on. This will happen four or five times. When I get on the dual carriageway or motorway and get up to 60 or 70mph it does not happen (so far).
When I get off the motorway and slow down to around 20-30mph it happens again.
Twice the engine has cut out completely and I have had to turn the ignition off and then on again to restart the engine.
I'm afraid that I know nothing about engines so will have to rely on a mechanic to fix this and I want to be able to make some useful suggestions, rather than pay to replace parts that don't need replacing.
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated
Regards
