Our (wife's) D2 exhibited signs of limp mode today...loss of power, inability to accelerate. She said no warning symbols or messages appeared but she pulled in, turned engine off and once restarted it continued as normal. Car is June 2012 production, serviced after 12 months and less than 10k miles on the clock. It gets a decent run every couple of weeks so I imagine the DPF is getting opportunities to go through a cleaning cycle. Today was the first sub zero temperature in Ireland this year and it occurred after about 30 minutes of motorway driving. Anybody any ideas or experience of similar?

Mine did that 2 days ago. A message came up - engine running on reduced power. Yesterday it was more permanent. Took it to dealer and had fuel filter changed. They said they had had a few cars in with the same issue likely linked to temperature fall / weather? The fuel filter was blocked and low fuel pressure was the issue. Fuel filter changed yesterday and as good as new now.
Kev, thanks for that. Will keep an eye on it and see it it recurs. In our case however there was no message alert.
I am sure it will be nothing serious.
