Ciaranmo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hey, wondering if someone could shed some knowledge regarding my mondeo. It's a 1.8 TDCI 2010. When the engine is cold she starts absolutely no bother, first turn of the key, but once I've driven for a while issues start. The car just refuses to start, will turn over but just won't ignite. Any information and help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.8TDCI is very sensitive to air in the fuel system. Once air gets to the main pump, then it will not start, nor suck the air through very easily. Leaks in the fuel filter or pipes can do this. Though this would normally affect cold starts too. So a good answer remains elusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 It could well be the crankshaft sensor, have you had an error scan completed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
