So bought the Mondeo TD Eco 1.6 zetec Saturday, plugged it into diagnostic tool had a few codes... Erased them all, put in for a service and there's a particular code that has come back up.

 

Basically when driving along I will get an engine malfunction message and the car will enter limp mode with the start/ stop button on.  Pull over turn car off and back on and it's cleared.

 

However this code is still present after the guy that serviced it said it was "historical"....

Found this online of possible causes but any ideas the type of price is be looking at ? 

P228C Possible Causes

• Clogged or Damage Fuel Filter
• Faulty Fuel Pressure Regulator
• Faulty Fuel Pump
• Faulty Fuel Pressure Sensor

 

 

Was the fuel filter replaced?

Generally, you start at the cheap end and work upwards, price-wise. So, pump being most expensive item shld be the last one on yer bucket list. 

Seeing as yours is a diesel, I wonder why they've not included injectors as a possible...?

Not that I am aware of, I've literally been quoted £93 for part + fitting for that fuel filter so that's not too bad I guess ?

Yeah because I bought it from a car sales I've not had any service history documents or anything ... Literally just the v5 slip and keys haha.  So not got a clue on the history of parts etc.

 

I popped into ford dealership this afternoon and spoke with the mechanics in the shop showed them my codes and they said it's just the fuel filter so I've managed to book it in for Monday now 

 

when my 1.6tdci fiesta had code for low fuel pressure and kept going into limp mode, a new fuel filter fixed it. So fingers crossed it's just that .

Get the oil + filter done at the same time if you haven't any service history. 

Yeah, so the dealership garage i had the car off did an oil and filter change ( that i am aware off as they wouldn't let me know which garage they use because they don't allow customers to know details about it apparently ? )

Will speak to the ford mechanic when i take it down Monday to put fresh oil in for me that i have in my boot just incase.

I will let you know if the Fuel Filter fixes the engine malfunction error and limp mode!

 

Update:- Fuel Filter Changed,

 

No problems with the car.  Health check all came back green *thumbs up*
