EGR stuck open could cause a lack of power too. Although likely to put up the MIL or log a DTC though which I assume you've not had. WeWillWinπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Small loss of coolant can cause EMS to kick into limp home mode. Temp drops and then full power again.

IF, and I repeat if you have a small loss of coolant do not be fobbed off with main dealer saying it is a weak pressure cap.

Yes they will replace pressure cap foc, however you may have a more serious problem such as a head gasket job.

IF you just loss power under load, I.e. hills/towing briefly for less then 30 seconds and NO apparent temperature rise with a small loss of coolant I would strong suspect head gasket.

Yes I have that tshirt!

Karlos, I'd fill it up with coolant, preferrably bright blue as if you do have a leak it'll be easier to spot!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
