2007 Ford Focus C-Max 1.6 TDCi (110) LX DPF – Workshop Service & Repair Manual

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues can lead to reduced performance and increased emissions. Here’s how to address them:

1. Perform a Regeneration: Drive at highway speeds to initiate a forced regeneration process that helps clear soot from the DPF.
2. Check for Blockages: Inspect the DPF and associated pipes for any blockages or excessive soot buildup.
3. Examine the Differential Pressure Sensor: Ensure the sensor is functioning correctly and accurately measuring pressure.
4. Clean or Replace the DPF: If regeneration and cleaning are insufficient, consider cleaning the DPF or replacing it if necessary.
5. Consult the Manual: Our manual provides detailed instructions for diagnosing and managing DPF issues effectively.

Turbocharger issues can affect engine performance significantly. To troubleshoot and resolve these issues:

1. Inspect for Leaks: Check the turbocharger and its associated hoses for oil or air leaks.
2. Examine Turbo Components: Ensure the turbocharger is free from damage and that the shaft has minimal play.
3. Check the Wastegate: Verify that the wastegate is functioning properly and is not stuck or malfunctioning.
4. Clean the Air Filter: A clean air filter can help prevent turbocharger issues.
5. Consult the Manual: Detailed troubleshooting and repair procedures for turbocharger issues are included in our manual.

EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve problems can impact engine performance. Here’s how to address them:

1. Inspect for Carbon Build-Up: Check the EGR valve and its passages for carbon deposits or blockages.
2. Clean the EGR Valve: Use a suitable cleaner to remove carbon deposits from the valve.
3. Test Valve Operation: Ensure the EGR valve opens and closes properly when the engine is running.
4. Replace the Valve if Needed: If cleaning does not resolve the issue, consider replacing the EGR valve.
5. Consult the Manual: Our manual includes detailed steps for diagnosing and repairing EGR valve faults.

Limp-home mode restricts vehicle performance to prevent further damage. To address this issue:
