Mondeo 2.0 TDCI 140bhp....Hunting for fuel?
Discussion
Posting on behalf of a friend...
Hi All,
Wondering if any Ford Techs on here who might be able to help.
My wife's cousin owns a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi (140bhp) on a '08 plate. For a few months now, he has been having some issues with it and tonight I drove it to see what he was experiencing.
On driving the car for a while, at a constant throttle you then come up to the lights for example and engine noise is noticably louder (like a throaty noise) and as you set off again, whilst cruising at say 30mph the car begins to judder and feels very lumpy - the only way to get rid of this is to either, change gear for a bit, go a bit slower or faster using the throttle. The car is sometimes very jumpy around car parks if being on a decent run.
After speaking to him, he said it is very noticeable when you've had the throttle in a constant position for a while, if you are going up/down hills changing speed you cannot feel it.
It has been on a few diagnostics with no issues found, even the sensors reset but the issue persists. The cars DPF apparently is in full working order according to a local Ford garage. He is really worried at throwing money at it with no repair. He was advised by a 'so called friend' that it was the Fuel Pressure Regulator but all of sudden bumped price up by £250 so he has his doubts.
Can anyone help shed any light?
Thanks

Thanks all for feedback.
Car had a replacement fuel filter, but it's not fixed issue. About a year ago, it had 4 new injectors by Ford due to fuel/oil getting contaminated, oil then rising levels where it needed to be drained. Anyway, it went for a service earlier in the week and spotted a leaking injector, which is probably going to point towards current issues.
