Problems With Mondeo Mk4 2.0 Petrol 57 Plate

Featured Replies

4 weeks back I got the Engine Malfunction light on my Mondeo. Due to which there was loss of power and more than usual vibration. Car took a long time to reach 25-30 miles. So I called the Breakdown guys who took me to the nearest Ford Gararge, they ran a diagonistics report and suggested to change a part think its called the Fuel Solenoid - it sits next to the engine(it cost me £400 to replace it, incl Diagonistics+Parts+Labour). The problem was however not fixed, got the light back on again the next day. Took it to another Ford Garage, they ran another diagonistics report (and paid £96) and they suggested that cylinders 1 and 4 werent getting any power and the car was only running on the remaining 2. I was also suggested that the ECU / PCM was faulty and needs to be replaced (new one costs £1,450 to replace in Total). Didnt do that as i have read a lot of online reports where changing the ECU / PCM doesnt solve the problem. Then I took it to another garage (non Ford this time) who then ran a diagonistics report and then sent the ECU / PCM to a specialist company in Nottingham to check any faults with it and reprogram it if required. They sent it back saying the ECU/ PCM was fine. The garage then swapped my ECU with another used one to check if that solved the problem - still no change. They even swapped my trottle to see if it fixes the problem - still no change (i spent another £150 here). So its now been 4 weeks, the car is not fixed and I am down £650 and without my car running. Not sure what else I can do to get it fixed. Even borrowed a friends diagonitcs tool to see if we get any error codes, we got P0206 (Injector Circuit malfuntion) and P0721 (Output Sensor Noise Interference)

Any help or suggestions most appreciated.



Hi Jigar,

Sounds like you have had a few runs around the houses there!

Do you know if there is a signal getting to the injectors themselves? has anyone actually removed and reconnected the wiring to the injectors? or for that matter, tested the voltage at the injectors?

  • Author

yes the mechanic has checked that too, wiring looks ok for the injectors, voltage is ok too

so the voltage is fine, signal is there,

Have the fuel lines been checked / the pressure at the injectors?

Mondeo 2.0L petrol Titanium X Estate 57 plate 2007

Jigar's post back in August 2014 is an almost identical problem / experience that I had in January / March 2016. Engine management warning light come on 15th Jan 2016, car goes into 'limp mode'. Constant engine restarts solve problem for a while but problem become more frequent. Booked into local garage, diagnostic tool cannot pinpoint problem, (no charge), recommended local electronics specialist. Kept car for Friday,weekend, Monday, got problem to reoccur but again unable to isolate problem, recommend Ford dealers £60 - charged one hours labour. Booked into local Ford main dealer, diagnostics investigation, fault code f, replaced throttle module £568, drive 3 miles car goes into limp mode. Back to main dealer, more diagnostics at £133, main BCMI processor unit (near wheel arch) has water ingress, not sealed apparently just plastic cover come loose!!) £1495. New software loaded several time, car does some strange things like lights coming on when door unlocked (never did this before?). Rear washer wiper & jet wash now not working, returned to main dealer. New fuse box module under glovebox diagnosed, (more water ingress) - not noticed any leaks of water in the car? £476 (only charged parts) but car valeted this time! Ran car for 3 weeks, engine management fault display again on dashboard (looks like an engine block) - returned to main dealer - Inlet Manifold Solenoid replaced 14th March 2016 (no charge). It would seem Ford still seem to have a real problem with their diagnostics capability.Interestingly had a drink with an old work colleague who used to work for Jaguar at the time owned by Ford, apparently it was not a secret that they had real problems in this area during development of the new series Mondeo. Hope this post helps others with similar problems, if only ask the right questions of Ford technicians and hopefully saves you some money!
