Maybe I'm just ignorant, but could someone tell me what EEPROM is - presumably not a concert by the Huddersfield Choral Society.

Erasable programable read only memory.

Where the second E comes from is anybodies guess.

More than likely it is an EGR or turbo problem.

Turbo on its way out! check dpf,

I had a 55 plate 1.6tdci within 3 months of owning turbo went, long story -short ended up getting £1000 for a car i had only driven for 3 months and paid nearly £4000 for!

its aknow fault, apparently, but ford dont like to admit it.

Do a search on here, and Consumer action group you will find loads including my fight!

good luck!

EEPROM = Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.

These can be selectively erased, allowing them to be reprogrammed in-situ.

Unlike EPROM devices which have to be totally erased in one go, using ultra-violet light.
