The 1.8 Focus TDCI is a Ford engine and not a PSA, so is different from the 1.6/ 2.0l TDCI (PSA) to add to the confusion, the 2.0L / 2.2Lmk3 Mondeo is a Ford engine and the Focus 2.0 and mk4 Mondeo 2.0/2.2 is a PSA engine - they are all called "TDCI" when fitted in a Ford (the PSA engines are used in countless other cars, Volvos. Pugeots, Citroens etc, often named "hdi", but the same engine )

All the mk3 Mondeo TDCIs needed coding, and the pre 2005 TDCIs, the later TDCIs, i would need to check

    Fuel pressure regulator? too high a common rail pressure will push too much fuel past the injectors and smoke it

    A small air leak in the fuel rail can also do the same

    MAF? Inlert air temp? PCV valve? all could mess up fuelling
