Hi there!
Sorry for my basic english, but I have an FL 2 from 2011, whit 225.000 km.
when I start the Engine at the morning, the car is very fast, until the temperature start to increase.

After 10 minute, more less, the engine start to loss power, no messages appear on the dashboard, the situation remain the same if I stop and restart the engine, but if I stop the engine for a couple of our, the engine came back to full power.

This problem starts when I drive in the city, If I drive on the highway, no problems. Please, let me know! :)
 
Sounds like the fuel filter. There is an issue with none genuine fuel filters, where the thermostatic valve in them doesn't work properly. This causes hot fuel to return to the injectors, instead of cool fuel from the tank going to the injectors. The engine computer knows the fuel is too warm, and reduces power to prevent damage to the pump and injectors.
Only use genuine fuel filters, which have the work Purflux on the top.
