  1. Hi All, New to the forum, need some advise please. I have a c4 Grand picasso 2007 1.6 HDI 80,000 miles on clock. Had for 3 years trouble free, 3 weeks ago whiles my wife was driving it lost all power & made a wining noise. Took it to local garage & said turbo gone, Quoted £1400 to repair, My brother inlaw works as a machanic at fords & said will do for me, he did this cost me £600 for bits & labour once done ran perfect. I thought great problem sorted! 2 weeks later wife driving at 60mph engine running fine, just decides to cut out & warning sava DPF filter blocked, AA came & started car but 10 meters down road cut out again, and again. Then towed to garage they looked at & said 2 intecters faulty I got changed £500. but engine still cutting out, so they said DPF filter blocked will cost another £600 to fix. at this point im getting scared & cant afford much more. I googles & found local company that removed the filter £300 & remaps the ECU for better MPG, got this done, & engine now runs loverly (was not too bad enyway but deff sounded better after, BUT STILL CUTS OUT. from cold fine for first 3-4 mins then cuts out, then starts fine, then cuts out few metres down road, only drives under 1000rpm (so 10mph) not fun!! Man that removed filter said can help anymore, says maybe ECU fust box of a BSI???? really not sure what to do now, pulling my hair out!!! any ideas?? thank John
