I read with interest the many tales of poor economy, flatspots, bad or no starting, frequent software updates and fuel filter upgrades that have been required to the Mondeo TDCi (a few also mention similar probs with focus). As much as I'd love to go for one of the TDCis, the problems don't yet appear to be sorted? As the odd Mondeo TDDi pops up occasionally in places like Motorpoint I'd be interested to know if they were fairly trouble free in comparison to the TDCi. Anybody out there own one (TDDi)? If so, I'd love to hear your goods and bads - IE fuel economy, problems etc.
On a side note what about the 3 current diesels in the focus. Comments?
Cheers

I've recently bought a Focus TDdi - fantastic. Ok, its isn't as powerful as the TDci units - but can be purchased a lot more cheaply (on average £2,000 cheaper), offers 90 bhp and 200 Nm. Ours averages 50 mpg around town and not much on a run as its difficult to keep the speed down!
I've driven the TDci Mondy and Focus - yes they are faster - but seem more complex and are more expensive.
Just my views .......
