Mine has just had the temperature sensor replaced and it runs fine now. Beforehand it was just not accelerating at all and would not rev above 4000rpm started intermittent but got worse over 2-3 weeks. A known problem apparently (another one!!) it's seems the temperature sensor can't sense the temperature in the DPF so goes into limp mode to stop it overheating just in case,even though of course it isn't. Was told it was ok and safe to drive on but I wasn't quite sure how pulling out of a slip road onto a fast road or off a hard shoulder on to motorway and finding it wasn't accelerating could be deemed safe! Dealer replaced it no questions though. Fourth problem with mine in 4 months of ownership which is a bit irritating especially as I do actually love the car.
