Ford Mondeo, 2000, TDCI 130, Year 2002

Came into work this morning with my glow plug light flashing and a loss of power like the turbo was not working.

I have read some backroom reports to say that this could be the fuel pump and injectors but the postings are back in 2003. Has anyone had any recent dealings with this? My car has done 76k which I have had from new.

Here's hoping for some help!

Lately; there's been a rash of TDCi's losing their injector coding. Probably best to see your dealer for a code-read, injector re-programme and a software download.

To conclude the thread, Screwloose was correct!

Ford Main dealer reprogrammed the PCM and ICU then re-installed the Injector/Calibration Valves.

It took them about 1.5 hrs and the cost was £119.

Car now running OK, no explanation from Ford as to why!
