05 2.0 tdci engine troubles - mond-russ
Excuse the non technical language folks.

I have a problem with my 05 Ford Mondeo 2.0 tdci

After finding the plastic underside of the engine compartment (the bit that follows on from the bumper) had been smashed, with about a quarter of it on the drivers side missing, my mondeo has started to feel like the turbo is intermitently not kicking in.

The power surge that was obvious before now seems to be missing at times, there is also a loud, obvious, dull whine coming in at the point that the turbo used to kick in. This noise only starts when the car is in gear and moving at around 1750rpm, this noise is there even when the turbo does kick in. It's constant from around 1750rpm upwards and is not affected by putting the clutch in, or taking the revs on and off, you can just about hear the tinkle of the diesel engine below this noise. The car idles fine, and sounds fine when revved in neutral.

There's been no stalls, rattles, clunks or warning lights.

Thanks in advance

Russ
