RyanMitcham Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi all, i have recently bought a 56 plate 2.0 tdci 130bhp mondeo. I just have a quick query for anyone that can answer. If i pop the car into 6th gear at anything below 60mph, it really doesnt like it. Is this normal?! I this is my first diesel for many years and my last car was a jaguar s type 3.0 so it is quite a different car. I really like the mondeo and it is certainly a comfy drive.

ob1 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yes, I guess it's the gear ratios and the lack of the turbo below 2 revs. I have a 2014 2l d 130 You will get use to it... For me it's a pain I tend to find I have to drop back a gear throughout the whole range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMitcham Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi thanks for the reply. No doubt i will get used to it, i just wanted to make it was nothing out of the ordinary. The car does need a new flywheel so i will be looking at doing the upgrade to the solid flywheel when i do it. Great forum by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
