flukemaster Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi all Recently purchased an 06 mondeo tdci 130 euro 4, 80.000 miles on the clock. having a couple of problems with the engine, wondered if anybody on here had had similar experiences? -black smoke under power -jerky at low speed -stalls very easily -terrible fuel economy -turbo whistle -unresponsive shame considering it was a good car at first, and I have heard good reviews about them, currently proving to be about as much use as a rubber nosed woodpecker in a pitch pine forest though! any help would be greatly appreciated.

stooge75 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 mmm the whistle i wouldnt read too much into that just for now. have you checked your boost/intercooler hoses,egr pipe etc? Tried a new fuel-filter?air filter ok? checked to see if EGR is opening/closing,& not sticking? a lot of your symptoms sound like its not getting the correct amount of fuel/air(to me anyway),& one way this can happen,is if a hose has split etc. could also be a knackered sensor but you'll have to try the obvious ones 1st. any EML light lit? youre sure its turbo whistle youre hearing & not air from a hose/pipe?

jeebowhite Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I had the same issue on my car a few months ago. EGR was part the reason for the smoke, unresponsive and stuttering. The other issue was a cracked intercooler pipe, which does in fact breed the whistle you speak of. It also invokes extra black smoke and contributes to a lack of power and some vibration when moving off. All the symptoms you describe where pretty much a 50/50 split for me across my aforementioned problems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
