1.6 TDCI Hesitation under load.
I have recently bought an 07 plate Focus C-max 1.6TDCI (90). Car is in excellent condition with full history and only 37K on clock.
Car runs well , except for a bit of hesitation. The hesitation only seems to occur when under load , eg going up hill , and only when you put your foot to the floor in 3rd or 4th gear. You can feel the car holding back a bit between 2000 and 2500 revs , and it sort of "pulses". Feels like it may be a fuel issue , or maybe air flow?
It is the 90bhp engine, so no DPF to consider. It has been back to the dealer (Evans Halshaw) , and they replaced the fuel filter and cleaned out the EGR, but the problem still persists. They have suggested it might need a software update from Ford. They will get it done under warranty , but my local Ford dealer can't get it in for another 2 weeks.
Just wondered if anyone on here had any ideas? There seem to be lots of similar threads on various forums , but there are more questions than answers , and they all seem to be quite old discussion.
Any help , or advise would be appreciated.
