Diesel Engine running on
Discussion
It's Mondeo 1.8TD 1998.
Shutting off the engine it has starting running on for just a second or two. After a run it does this but if I start and stop again it doesn't do it/
Car needs the clutch done and I've thought if it could be related but can't see any links. I need to experiement with some clutch in vs clutch out switch offs.
I think it is easier to troubleshoot with a petrol motor- google this just returns lots of cars running on chip fat etc etc
Any suggestions?
TIA

Right......
As it happens ladies and gents...
At the weekend I changed the oil and I couldn't get the oil filter off from underneath so I took off the thingy at the back of the engine which as far as I could see cools air from the turbo before sticking it back into the engine. Is this called an intercooler??
Anyway the end that is joined to the turbo is a push fit and there are 2 rubber seals and they had oil on them and there was general oilyness in evidence.
So.......as this thing is apparently supposed to be for air and you lot are saying that there maybe an oil leak from the turbo I am guessing that this isn't meant to happen?
What now- am I entering a whole world of pain and expense. despite my ignorance of turbos I'm pretty capable of spannering- DIY job?
I have had this car over 4 years. it's been fine. The brake warning light just came on as well, that's never happened before-grrrrr

Thanks, I've been reading up on turbo's so I've got a better idea now.
I put 5 litres in it exact. I noticed the oil between the turbo and the intercooler during the lube job so if there is a problem it was there before I did that.
So we're taking a worn shaft(requiring a repalcement unit) or some sort of seal that needs replaced?
Or maybe not given what Thong is saying.
More things to check out; I'll stay home until the monsoon season finshes!

Big thanks to everyone who has offered advice.
I've done the clutch and brakes now and I'm back to this problem- which went away and is now intermittent, albeit currently featuring a radom unwillingness to start.
I've checked out my manual and these diesels have a Bosch or a Cav Rotosomething fuel pump
OK- lets check it out. "oh, it is nothing like the ones in the pictures and has LUCAS written on it...."
So- can anyone advise, is the solenoid the thing in this picture? do i need to take it out and replace the O ring and if so how do i get that wire out so I can unscrew it??

Ok, thanks all. I replaced this little widget (surprisingly expensive for such a small item) and the car is better. Still runs on a touch very occasionly (eg approx twice this year, think I replaced it about christmas time) and has been slow to start a couple of times but I think a new one has sorted this out.
