xdazx Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi i have recently had a fuel pump fuel rail fuel pressure switch new glow plugs injectors and the fuel system cleaned out as i had starting problems since they was fitted the car runs a lot better when i can start it !! The problem i have now is i have to put the clutch in to start it and sometimes it takes ages to start if i can get it to start it turns over but wont fire up then sometimes it will start first time. I had the mechanic to check it with his diagnostic m/c everything electrical is working there are no faults showing. He says that its the dmf and i need to replace it and i may aswell get a clutch kit aswell. Does any1 know if that is the problem as its another huge exspense. Please help 馃槶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdazx Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Some 1 else said egr valve but he would need to do test and ofcourse more money to pay out !Removed! car :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambo87 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 To prove if it's egr you can buy a blanking plate for 拢5.00 off eBay that's what I have done engine management light comes on sometimes due to blanking plate but car starts everytime but might be worth fitting one just to see only takes about 20 mins to fit but you could do with rubber arms :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdazx Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 It is well weired tbh. Hey were u from anyway ive just found the email i had from tuned n style they quoted me 拢175 i will paste there reply here u go on your Mondeo you are looking at 25hp and 40lb ft torque increases, so def worthwhile doing esp with the torque increase. Alongside this you would be looking at upto 20% improvement on your mpg too. Cost for me to come to you would be 拢175 inclusive. Hope this helps, any further questions please do ask. Regards, Nic.

slemon123 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'd be thinking the inlet manifold is clogged up or else egr. As stated above blank off egr first to rule that out. Then look at manifold before going at dmf and clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdazx Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Cheers for that ive had a new crank sensor on still the same not sure were the damper and washer will be tho like it says in that you just sent. The bloke that done the work keeps ssying i need a new dmf and clutch kit but cannot guarantee it will cure it but every other person i spoke to said that wont gave anything to do with starting problems ??

slemon123 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Starting problems are either egr , inlet manifold, injectors or the vibration damper. It could be worth having a look at the immobilizer as that could be faulty. Clutch and dmf doesn't make sense to me either.

xdazx Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 What baffles me and others is that there are no faults showing up the car is set up perfect (should be after i spent a grand on new fuel system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
