saintscottofthenortham Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Desperate for some help. Have a Ford Mondeo, 53 plate TDCi 2.0. When I put my foot down whilst driving, next to nothing happens. First gear feels about 50% usual, 2nd 20% and from there on each gear does next to nothing. At a stand still it revs up but not as fast as usual. The problem is... i'm f*****g clueless about cars and f*****g skint so can't afford a garage to find out whats up. FFS.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 25 November, 2011 Author Posted 25 November, 2011 Bump. This wee lad is in a spot o' bother and nobody leaves here until we find oot what c*nt can fix it!
buctootim Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Basically you need a code reader to find out what the problem is, could be dozens of things. You might find somebody local on a Ford forum who has got one, or beg at the dealers. Possibly the most likely, assuming you didnt hear any nasty noises before it stopped running properly is the fuel or air sensors. You can try this but not how much it will tell you. Good luck http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Instrument_Cluster_Self-Diagnostic_Mode
saintscottofthenortham Posted 25 November, 2011 Author Posted 25 November, 2011 Turbo gone? Apparently not. I would have black or White smoke coming from the engine and would have heard or something...?

Im fast losing faith at the moment.
stusholingsaint Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Do you get lots of black smoke when you accelerate? I have an 04 2.0 tdci and have had similar problems each time it was a split in the intercooler hose.

I have an 04 2.0 tdci and have had similar problems each time it was a split in the intercooler hose. Just been on talkford and they are all saying the same thing. I'll try and get at it on Sunday. Is it easy enough to get out? Cheap to replace?
stusholingsaint Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Bit akward to get at but not impossible, dont just look at it and assume its OK, both times I have done mine I've not been able to see the split till I got it off. Think there about thirty quid.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 My MK3 petrol engined Mondy was much the same and all it needed was a new coil pack, but that does not apply here as diesels don't have ignition coils of course .... People buy modern turbodiesels to save cash on fuel but (as a rule) they don't seem to be as reliable as their mechanically simpler petrol engined counterparts, so unless you'll putting a lot of miles on them a chap has to wonder whether that extra 15 MPG is worth all the trouble.

To be honest, had the motor 3 years and this is the first problem I have had. I have got the EGR pipe out, or the first part of it anyway and it has no split. Now for the 2nd, harder part. What a way to spend your f*****g Sunday. FFS.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 27 November, 2011 Author Posted 27 November, 2011 It's that or the MAF The what what...?
swannymere Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Mass Flow Sensor (don't know why it's called MAF) often go wrong, they measure the amount of air being drawn into the engine and adjusts the fueling etc. to match so if its knackered the fueling will be way off.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 27 November, 2011 Author Posted 27 November, 2011 Am I missing my MAF...? Uploaded with ImageShack.us
buctootim Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Am I missing my MAF...? Uploaded with ImageShack.us I dont know anything about /Modeos and Im no mechanic, but yeah, weirdly looks like you could be. http://balev.eu/blog/index.php/2010/12/maf-sensor-what-is-that/
saintscottofthenortham Posted 27 November, 2011 Author Posted 27 November, 2011 Apparently the 115bhp model doesn't have the MAF, where as the 130bhp model does so that's that answered. But now I have sheared a bolt holding the EGR Valve to the Intake Manifold. veryf*****gf****doff.com.
