Uneven engine performance and warning light on Ford C Max Diesel 2017

Hello buddy! Know the problem all too well! I've got a 2014 Ford Kuga Diesel, and I also had a faulty indicator for the intake manifold. In my case, the whole thing wasn't exactly a trifle - the swirl flaps on the intake manifold were the main problem. Although the engine ran during operation, it jerked when accelerating. This led to the kind of stuttering you describe. On the plus side, however, after the swirl flaps were replaced and repaired, the car ran much better. Starting, accelerating and the overall driving experience improved significantly. Even those annoying hissing noises were gone! So, if you have a similar case to mine, I would suspect a defective control of the shift intake manifold, although there could of course be various possible causes. To be on the safe side, go to a mechanic and have it checked. Better to do something now before a major repair is necessary. Good luck and let me know what comes out! Best wishes and always have a good ride!

Hey, thanks for the quick response! It sounds like we have the same problem. It's a bit reassuring that your car ran better after the repair. Do you have any idea what you had to pay for it back then and has anything similar happened since? I'd like to be a bit prepared for the next visit to the garage. Greetings and thanks for the help, have a good trip!

Hey buddy, no problem, I'm happy to help! After the mechanic fixed the faults in the swirl flap control on my intake manifold, I had no further problems with the car. It was worth having the repair done. Since then the car has run like clockwork and no more juddering! As for the cost, I had to fork out around €465 to repair the faulty control unit of the gearshift intake manifold. But don't worry, afterwards your car will run like new again and you'll have one less thing to worry about. So, take it to the garage and have it checked. It's better to invest a little now than face a bigger (and more expensive) problem later. Have a good trip and let me know how it goes! Best regards!

Oh, I'm relieved that you didn't have any more problems with your car after that. It sounds like it was definitely worth the money. The €465 may sound like a lot at first, but if it solves the problem and the car runs like new again afterwards, I'll probably have to bite the bullet. I will definitely go to the garage and have it checked. I'm still hoping that it might not be anything major, but I'll have to be prepared. I'll keep you up to date in any case. Thanks again for the tips and your experience, it helped me a lot! See you then and have a safe journey!
