mastiff Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Morning all on Saturday i picked up my new 2006 mondeo 2.0 tdci zetec and its was great sunday morning i took her out she was a bit noisy on start up then after 20 mins took her on a duel carriage accelerated around 50...big pause loss of acceleration and power then it caught up then it happend again went ininto limp mode i think with glow plug light on. I restarted her and she seemed ok. Have i bought a dud car or is it an easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'd be checking for recent fuel filter change - if no evidence then change it & also check the M.A.F. sensor & is the E.G.R.V. either clean or blanked ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastiff Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Fuel filter was done recently but iam not sure about the egr. I got a months warranty with the car and the guy collected it yesterday. But when it comes back i wll have a look at the egr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 There's a legal minimum of 3 / 6 months warranty ( I think ) if you bought from a dealer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 6 months :) check my signature :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Most common is the turbo hose from egr to intercooler splitting , quick and easy check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Agreed. Although it's not unheard for for either the intercooler pipe to split. So worth checking the intercooler feed hose at th e bottom of the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastiff Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks for all the advice. When she comes back i can have a good look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastiff Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 She is back. The dealer told me they checked injectors and fuel rail pressure with the computer and it was fine. He says it was a blocked up fuel filter. They have changed it and put some additives in the tank. As soon as i finish work iam going to test her and perhaps at the weekend clean and blank the egr.

jeebowhite Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Good choice. If you have the 1.8 get it blanked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastiff Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have the 2.0 tdci zetec. Looking at the amount of rubish they get clogged up with it makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah unfortunately the 2.0 and above are electrically operated and can generate an error code and warning light, but I understand that I'd you leave the light alone after a few months it ignores it and goes away. I would make sure you have a code reader to hand though and monitor the codes to make sure nothing else appears in this time as it can be hidden because your ignoring the earning light (been there done that lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastiff Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Luck would have it i have the torque app and an eml37. Iam going to get the modded one from eBay and start there. Iam based in essex if anyone local needs a hand with a reset or code read no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
