andymc1973 199 Posted January 13, 2018 HI all, I've been using car myself for a weeks with out issue, sold the car a couple of days ago and when the chap was on the motorway the glow plug lights flashed and the car lost power, he switched the car off and all was good but it's happened again, is there anything obvious before we pull it to bits? I'm aware its not one of Ford's greatest engines Thanks Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ik1980 11 Posted January 13, 2018 Injectors usually. Does the light flash, then go into limp mode then cut out? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHM 994 Posted January 13, 2018 From memory injectors, fuel pump or turbo (I think a sensor?) are possible culprits. Good luck - it’s possibly scrap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Derby 259 Posted January 14, 2018 I've got one sat on my land from 2 years ago, no one could get to the bottom of it and then I just gave up. Probably spent £1k on valves, sensors and more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 164 Posted January 14, 2018 Could be boost pressure if the EGR is clogged up especially on a one legger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twerp 69 Posted January 14, 2018 12 hours ago, tradex said: Needs properly scanning and diagnosing with real time data. Don't throw it back yet, sometimes it's a cheap fix. Be aware these engines do not like pattern fuel filters....and owners don't like paying for an OE one.....24 quid! If it dies under high fuel load conditions keep an eye on fuel rail pressure on the hoof - two person job though - if it drops suspect filter. Other suspects are sticking/grungy turbo vanes anoung others mentioned above. Worse when cold. Can be an easy fix and cheap fix. ......you have balls of steel buying a TDCi with a slushbox behind it.....or astride more correctly All that from a glow plug light ? Not the usual glow plug controller on other stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A & S 20 Posted January 14, 2018 We had this come on a Mondeo we bought from auction, it was an injector, we replaced the injector and cured it, sold the car and never saw it again. I have a friend who has a taxi firm he mainly runs these Mondeos he replaced injectors and that has cured them. If you get the injectors tested and if there is a faulty one don't buy them from Ford main dealer go to a Jaguar main dealer with the code and buy them from there they are cheaper and the same. Got a feeling theyve got different part numbers but the same injectors. it may only be one injector that is faulty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andymc1973 199 Posted January 24, 2018 sorry guys, fuel filter sorted it, cost £40 for a good diesel specialist to come out but well worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHM 994 Posted January 25, 2018 I’d still give it a good run out. I remember years ago, a neighbour’s Mondog started playing up. First port of call fuel filter, then ‘something’ turbo related, then injectors, then fuel pump, then....then....then.... After pumping over £2000 into the heap of shit he was no further forward & threw his hands up in defeat. I then had three customers complain within the same month of engine related issues. I hate Mondeos, or more precisely I hate everything bolted to the TDCi engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
