Driving to work today (got called in on my day off ) and the car was driving fine all the way until suddenly just out of the blue the power dropped right off for about 5 seconds and with my foot planted the car almost stalled.....smoke piled out of the back for those 5 seconds and then it just picked back up again and carried on as normal
Any ideas what could have caused this? Plenty of fuel in it....just seemed to drop off boost but then totally lose power for a few seconds then carry on as normal.....no warning lights came on the dash or anything.
Cheers, Craig

Wouldn't be the turbo as it's been fine since. I did have a MAF sensor error throw up when I put it on the diagnostic....but wouldn't have thought it would have caused that really. Although it's stupid how a little sensor can throw up such a big fault, so it wouldn't surprise me deep down. Smoke was pure black which points at overfuelling? Would add up I guess if the boost died but it kept fuelling

On my dads old Focus diesel I changed the accelerator pedal as they went after a while and caused a similar problem to this. Might be worth looking at.

If it hasn't happened again, I'd say it was just something like a momentary blockage in the fuel filter or injector...
