Hello! I have the following problem with my XR3i Cabrio Bj. 87 with KE-Jetronic 90 HP: In a warm condition the engine jerks a little, which expresses itself, as if there were a problem with the ignition system (Zündaussetzer). I have here, because I myself car-mechanic connected the vehicle to an engine tester, whereby I could see that on the part of the ignition system everything is ok. Furthermore I checked the idle exhaust values, which are also ok. To an error/falsc to exclude heinsetellung of the mass divider idle basic setting I have installed an experimental megenteiler of another vehicle, whereby the error persisted. Has someone already gained experience with this error and can say how to fix this problem? Thank you in advance! MfG. J.Terlinden

Hello, Here’s a question from Holland so please excuse for error in my German…. Drive yourself a Mondeo tournament TDCI 130 HP , EZ 03-2002 and now 95Tkm. Have had quite a lot of manco’s with the engine (injection box, pump, chip, computer) and now the engine is always nog not running well. I have now (according to the workshop) CD-27 installed, and engine is quite loud. Zehr noisy when cold, but always nog loud when warm. Klinkt zehr metallicisch, und i think this is a software reason ha t. With Processer CD-26 the engine was really less noisy, but has “turned” between 1800-2200 tpm. Fast and comfortable (except the larm) is the Mondeo, and consumption is always around 6.0-6.5 liters / 100 km Really clean and good is probably impossible for the TDCI, I think that somewhere in the concept is something not good. Does Ford think that too, and is that the reason that is installed in the Focus C-Max now the HDI 136 Ps / 320Nm ? I heard that the new Volvo S40 / V50 also the the HDI 136 hp diesel, and not the “orginal” 130 hp TDCI as well as the recent is installed in the Jaguar. What is peculiar to the Grose plan of Ford with the 2-liter 4-cylinder diesel engines? Why parallel the 130 hp Ford and the 136 Ford / PSA engine? Who can give me more info ? Thank you..

Hello together, since recently I am Ford Mondeo 2.0 (Bauj. 08.2001) Diesel driver. The machines are the 2.0 TDDI 115 HP version. The car we bought used at a workshop and runs so great. However (don’t know exactly) we have problems with the paint. The paintr who painted the cars for the workshop simply did not have it on it. After 4 starts he got it on the line (probably). Reason: the paint had gone off again. (D) now the dealer has made us an offer because we had so much trouble. For an extra charge of 1500 euros we would get a Ford Mondeo Bauj 1/2003, TDCI 130PS. The car has about 27000km (which now has 52000km). Equipment is the same (both GHIA equipment). I am thinking about whether I should do this or not. I would be very happy about the answers.

Hello, my wife set our beautiful focus against a concrete wall this morning at 8:30 am. Curve was icy, could have happened to me too…and in ice you lost, no matter how good you drive a car. Statement by the police that in a smaller car she probably wouldn’t have survived the accident. Except for a shock and a little hurling trauma her god is missing thanks to nothing. I looked at the car after the work, I could have cried on the spot. The engine hood was two-thirds shorter. The passenger cell was still fully intact except for a skipped front window. The driver’s door could still be opened and closed without any problems. The passenger door was no longer. The rear axle was also completely crooked (had taken the sidewalk before the impact). Thanks Ford. Problem, we need a new car. I looked around at Audi, VW and looked around. If I see the driving performance of their 103kw diesel and the equipment and then the price ( The next car can only be a Ford Focus. So, where do I get a Sport TDCI at the moment the best. The car should of course be new. Important, is for the current Focus diesel still something planned in the direction of D4? Many say hello Rainer
