I bought my Mondeo TDCI (BJ 04/04) in May05 and was actually quite satisfied. OK, sometimes stupid partial trucking and the board computer lies like printed, but otherwise ok. Well, 4 weeks ago we were on vacation in the mountains and there was one or the other thing that struck me. Lots of black smoke during kickdown, vibrate in the gas foot while accelerating in the 4th gear. Also reinforced partial trucking. OK, last week for FFH for repair. The partial trucking and black smoke by software update The dealer asks me when picking up, if I had never noticed, that the car takes no gas directly after starting the engine for 3-5 sec. … !!! No, I didn’t notice, I always get in, start the engine, buckle me up and that takes so 4-5 sec, then there was nothing to remember. Anyway, the master showed me the mistake and that was actually there – the car takes off No gas, right after the start ! Only after 5 sec. everything runs normal ! He had no solution for the problem, but said that today a Ford outside service technician wanted to come by, since he still had such a Mondeo on the yard with the same problem… A defective injection nozzle was supposed to be… Well, the technician was there today and ordered the car after check and test drive 4 new injection nozzles – of course on guarantee !
