Citroen DS3 ds3 sport 2012 faults.

Car: Citroen DS3
Variant: turbo
Model Year: 2012
Categories: Engine & DrivetrainRunning Rough, Starting & Power LossElectrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Last 6 months on starting engine fault light come on. A few seconds later fan comes on. turn off motor , fan still running and will only turn off by disconnecting battery or letting the motor run until warmed up . It also has a french cough on startup and will not go over about 40 kph. My european auto mechanic has changed sparkplugs, fan speed register, ignition coil, battery, fuel pump, other odds and sods and has little hair left. Has become a very expensive operation. Any brilliant ideas?

Yes obviously - has been scanned at least 3 times.

"Yes obviously " nothing obvious about it as you do not mention it in your post regarding what has been done on car . Likewise , no idea what " a french cough" means
