I've had my 2004 2.0tdci Ghia c-max for 3 months now.
I went through a bit of a puddle a couple of weeks ago and that resulted in instant power loss, however this went away after a couple of miles. It wasn't severe power loss, and there were no warning lights. I was travelling at around 60mph, and it just didn't want to rev further than it already was. The car was fine for over a week afterwards, and then there was a slight murmur of the same thing, but only for a couple of seconds. Today, coming home from work, it happened again, but this time, a couple of minutes later the engine overheat warning came on and put the car in official limp mode. I eased off the accelerator and the temp gauge BOUNCED back to halfway! It did this for the remaining 45 minute drive home. The temp could not have been accurate because of the speed it would move from overheating to below halfway. When I got home, the engine wasn't any hotter than normal and the car is idling perfectly. When I turned the engine off, the cooling fan kicked in. It doesn't normally, as I don't belt it home! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
