    hoping someone can shed some light.... first ford I have owned

    have a 2008 ford cmax 1.6TDCI 150k

    driving lovely
    engine malfunction warning comes on, on start up.
    plugged in code reader and got zero codes

    like this for a couple months no problems

    other day, it started losing power at the 3000rpm in any gear.
    up to that everything seems normal

    replaced the fuel filter (common on these i believe)
    the Maf was a bit oily, cleaned it up wit cleaner, changed air filter,
    cant see any loose hoses...

    any ideas what I should be looking for

    Dpf fluid. Seen a few PSA engines that wont throw a code when the fluid reservoir is low/empty. you can get a refill of the fluid but may need resetting by a decent diagnostic setup.

    cheers for that, as well as first Ford, first diesel...

    would that also cause the power loss at 3k
