Hi, thanks for your quick reply. I haven't had a fault readout done yet, but I will certainly do that soon. My car is a standard configuration, so no special modifications. Oh yes, the mileage is 86062 km and the last service was recently. Let's see what the garage has to say. Best regards!

Hi, no problem. Make sure you do this with the error readout, because without it it's really difficult to say anything concrete. If it's a similar problem to my Focus, it could really be the engine control unit. But that can really have many causes. If it has something to do with the coding, I would also have a tip: ask the garage if they can access the Ford IDS system. Sometimes the error codes that are output can indicate a coding problem, especially if they occur in connection with the electronics or engine management. So cheer up, hopefully a solution will be found soon. Let me know if you find out anything new. Have a safe journey and best wishes!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2019 Ford Focus, I don't have much experience with cars but I do take care of basic maintenance and minor repairs. When I had the problem, I went to my trusted garage. The diagnosis was a faulty engine control unit. The repair cost me 1000 euros, including installation and programming. However, without precise vehicle data and diagnostic results, it is difficult to give you specific advice. Have you already had a fault readout carried out at your garage? And can you share more information about your vehicle? Things like the exact motorization or any modifications you may have made could be helpful to help you further.
