Glow Plug Indicator Light/Limp Mode
Discussion
Hi,
I recently purchased a 52 plate Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi Ghia
On my first long journey the head gasket went. I had this all fixed and I got it back Friday and on Sunday I was driving and dropped it down to 3rd to overtake, as soon as I went over 3000rpm the car seemed to lose power and the Glow Plug indicator light started flashing. I then left it for a bit, then drove home, making sure I didn’t go over 3000rpm and it was fine. As I was approaching home I thought I’d test to see what happened if I went over 3000rpm. Low and behold, the same thing happened! Only this time the battery light and oil light came on and the car conked out!
When the AA bloke came out he plug in his computer and there weren’t any fault codes??
I drove it to work again this morning, keeping under 3000rpm and it was fine
Any advice?
Thanks in advance
