C3 Hdi 16v

[Don]

First post on this (Brilliant)site!

I have an August 02 plate C3 HDI 16v Exclusive (with FSH) and it's done 101,000 miles (correct)

It has the Ford/Delco EMS fitted. My local non franchised dealer cannot tell me why i have a power loss in 4th or top whilst "cruising" or "driving" up my local hills! This occurs for 3 or 4 seconds resulting in fuel starvation like symptoms, losing rpm from 2300 down to 1900-2000 rpm, at which time it picks up and carries on as if nothing has happened,(no fault light OR code or smoke either) My dealer says possible precursor to Turbo failure.

What do you think??

Cheers, Don.

I'd start by looking at the brake light switch on the pdeal. On the Picassos these do cause problems at cruise speed etc, as they cut off the fuel when the brakes ae applied. If the switch is loose it may be the culprit. Have a look at the Picasso site for my info.
