I'm looking at buying my first Ford as of tomorrow and just looking for some hints of you all thahave dealt with the Mondeo :) I'm looking at a 2002 Mondeo TDCI 130 zetec s It's done 130,000 which I appreciate is a lot FSH and receipts etc etc. What are the most commons faults with the car? Anything I could physically check? Thanks ever so much Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 some of the common faults are, injectors - the delphi injectors are not the most reliable and often loose there code or pack up all togeather so look for black smoke aux belt - this can start to vibrate,you have to replace the belt and pulleys to cure, sound like a drumming noise on tickover egr valve - these can become choked and give out fault codes, its a simple job to clean but a messy one intercooler hose - these can split creating black smoke and a flat spot at around 1800rpm, its the big hose from the bottom of the egr valve alloy wheels - these can flake because of the brake dust eating into them any kind of rattle or noise from the clutch area could be a failing DMF at around £800 to replace not cheap starter problems is also another sign of a failing dmf as the swarf blocks up the starter and because of the weight of the engine front tyres will not last much more than 14000 miles.
