I'm lucky if I get 2 weeks out of mine before the BIG RED Nadda and limp mode :mrgreen: .

Now I always keep a spare at home and take one with me if on a long journey or Hols :oops:

Oddly been out in it today and no sign of any warnings, luckily I dont need to use it this week now and its going back to where I got it for a towbar next weekend so will speak to them about it, definately got there stamp in the service book when I bought it so hoping it was a bit of crud or something.

I've driven around for a month or so with the msg coming and going, never went into limp mode or worse.

I had this on my mk8 jumbo ,it came on 5,000 miles after full service, it went off whenever engine was switched off but would come back on over 65mph , it was fixed by ford with new filter but warranty didn't cover it :(

I Had this last year several times it never had any effect on performance or reliability so I left until it was serviced in May, the dealer drained a bit of fuel through and it's been alright for 10k miles until today that is when it came on twice. I will have to drain it myself at the weekend I think it might be something to do with the climate damp weather / condensation/ more water in the fuel etc.

Mines been coming on for last 6 months, no issues so will leave Until the next service, because my dealer insists I drop the van off at 8.00 am and might start to look at it around 3.00pm and tell me it needs booking in again as parts are required
