Ford Mondeo Estate tdci 130 - Slight rocking motion, - Jaybee72

Hi I have a concern regarding my Mondeo. I was driving on cruise control 75 mph 6th gear, just over 2000rpm. I felt a slight rocking motion. I turned the CC off as I thought maybe it was playing up. This did not stop the problem. I have since tested the car and it seams there is an issue when the car is over 2000rpm. If accelerating it does not seam to be affected. I never drive it hard so not sure if any real loss in power. Smoke is visable on acceleration but not excessive amounts (Not like a Mallard any way). I suspect something to do with turbo or sensor, reading the threads I have not seen this issue listed. Your help and advise is most welcome.

Hi Jaybee
What's it like on idle? My Mondy had a similar problem. It would surge slightly whilst cruising. My car would also surge slightly on idle.
I started by cleaning out the inlet manifold and EGR valve. (Not a difficult job but very dirty!) this helped a bit.
I then got the injectors re-coded. This made a big difference. Smoothed out the idle and surging at speed. It seems the injectors can loose there coding. This is basically a fine tune for the injector.
My surging problem did eventually come back. I think my cars ready for the injectors to be serviced.
Hope this helps.
Chris.
