hello Thought I would reply as I have also experienced power loss on a number of occasions as well as LOTS of other TDCI owners :evil: The chances are that it is not the turbo as this is a well known issue with TDCI engines.Have a search of forum for power loss and you,ll see what I mean :!: Sound to me like your dealer doesn,t have a clue whats wrong and is just replacing parts.Thare is a Ford Technical service bulletin which you can find in the Known faults sticky at top of forum,show this to your dealer and he may change EGR valve.This does fix some vehicles but problem returns on some,like

Me again Just returned home from Liverepool on back of a transporter!Went to liverpool everything great,lovely to drive, on way back power loss on motorway twice managed to pull in to services just south of Kendal.Tried starting car after a couple of minutes switch off .......would not start!RAC arrived 40 mins later diagnosed no fuel from fuel pump.Had the usual EPB loss error messages but RAC man said battery had power.Wife pointed out that radio clock was running slow but had been OK the previous day.Does anyone think it is the stereo that is draining the battery? and could this lead to los
