Mondeo Tdci 130 Flashing Glow Plug Light

[Stevetdci130]

It all started today i was driving along then all of a sudden loss of power and the glow plug light is flashing. It seems to kick in to limp mode as soon as the turbo kicks in.. there is a it of slight fuel leaking from injector #1 has been doing this for a while and has not affected the car before. The EGR is clean and no boost pipe leakage :S Any suggestions guys thanks

Were you in 6th at low revs and accelerated?

Im having the same problem. Flashing glow plug is engine management

I have had mine plugged in and checked on 3 occasions and its come up with nothing,

If you switch the engine off, it normally sorts it.

Injector rail is my mechanics diagnosis

Hi Tori

The matter has worsened, it doesnt matter what gear you are in.. as soon as you get that turbo to kick in... bam limp mode comes on and acceleration can make the engine cut out :S.

Iv got a good mate in stoke who can plug it in and his other mechanic is an ex van mechanic and with the engine being a transit, it could help?

Shrops aint tooo far away depending on if youre staffs or wales side!

Hello Steve,

Try the camshaft position sensor. About £15 on eBay. I had the same problem a few months ago, I would be driving along and then all of a sudden the engine would just cut out and the glow plug light flashes furiously at me. Unfortunately you can only turn the engine on and off so many times before the car doesn't start at all.

As soon as I replaced the sensor everything was working lovely.

Hope this helps.

I have the same flashing glow plug light problem that puts it into Limp Mode. Replaced, fuel filter, cam position sensor, fitted complete new EGR Valve (after finding heavy deposits of carbon inside)but this intermittent problem recurrs from time to time.

The glow plug light starts flashing usually just after start up, but pulling up and restarting usually clears the problem and the car drives fine. No smoke etc. The car has been into a Ford dealership and the OBD diagnostics reveal nothing. This instils you with confidence.

Is it worth going to a diesel specialist to rule out, fuel pump, injector or glow plug problems. Is there such a thing as recalibrating the injectors?

Car Mondeo 2007, Durarorq. 2.0 115bhp The cost and frustration is starting to mount up.
