Year of Manufacture *: 2005
Engine Size and Code *: 1.6 TDCI

Hi

I have this Ford Focus in, when it warms up customer says it starts to misfire or loss power under 2000rmp before turbo kicks in 25 to 35 mph I have had it for a day can't make it happen. I changed a leaking air pipe & air flow metre but customer says no change live data looks ok but dnt have data of when fault present. It only has 1 code in memory 138b i think thats something todo with glow plugs?

Any help will be great

Joe

Scanner used ?? unlikely to be a glow plug code and even more unlikely a glow-plug fault.
I would get it on a more reliable scanner.

Had one in recently with poor power and a feeling of a turbo not boosting.

Checked wastegate vacuum valve and it wouldn't hold up vacuum.

Checked various other turbo associated vac pipes aruond the rear of the engine and the elbows were all loose and leaking. (similar to Vauxhall pipe work fittings).
