Thanks for that.

I have looked into the electronic actuator but that would bring up a different fault code apparently (according to a man who reconditions them). I have cleaned the EGR valve (very, very choked up). And i have just spoked to a mechanic, he said you can get a seal kit for the injectors and if they are leaking that could well be the fault. He didnt think it would be an injector problem as much as a leak problem. What do you think?

Cheers

Believe me a faulty actuator puts the glow plug light on under acceleration had the problem numerous of times on Jaguars with the same engine.Injection Doc is quite correct about the injectors and fault codes

.Out of interest how do you recon a baked actuator its a sealed unit sits under the Turbo and has to be set up with the turbo thats why they are sold as one unit 675+vat the older vacuum units are completly different.

The actuator and the turbo should not be split and you should never put one from another car onto the existing turbo,they have to be set up together on a special machine thats why they sell them from Ford and Turbo handlers as complete units and modt turbo reconditioners won't touch them .Puting a actuator onto a turbo and not having set up then you will never get it to run correctly.

Wel sorry i did type more thant that. I did split the turbo and actuator and maybe so your not supposed to but in 25yrs experience i have and can tell you that also the actuator electronic module can be opened. They do not cook or or break they have a problem with the solder drying out and causing dry joints and floating around the small panel with a soldering iron and solder cures this. There held together with a few spring clips. My car is now running fine and went to scotland last week. Lost no power at all runs like a dream like it used too. SO after a new actuator controller and egr valve I replaced the glow plug timer under the battery tray. Thats cured my glow plug staying on issue and all is well.. Sorry Collos25 but you need to educate yourself better. People who cant afford new turbos at £675+vat and egr valves at £145 dont have the money to replace there car or spend this amount of money on new parts. I Do have the money but dont want to spend it when ford want to change the Turbo, Egr, actuator, all relays, Pipes and injectors to solve the problem because they dont have a damn clue and we have a ford estimate repair after they plugged it in and all they offered was a £1800 bill for turbo and glow plug circuit. Turbo replacement and repair £1603.20 inc vat glow plug circuit repair and replacement £275.99 inc vat.. Im sorry but no way. I took my car to ford on 20-7-2010 And after spending near on £180 my car is fixed. Relay from ebay £20.99 Egr from ford. and the Actuator from a good mate was free.. All fix. Put that in ya pipe and smoke it. YAYYYY 2005 Mondeo all healthy again no more problems. I must add that in the last week this car has been to Aberdeen twice at 497miles each way. its been to plymouth and cardiff. and went to Liverpool on Friday and is still racing around as i type in Derby. So Collos25 you keep struggling along and making people run to ford filling there pockets and skinning us alive but trust me Forums are here to help people not rip them off. I was told " Proof is in the Pudding " If anyone as this problem try what i have done if you dont feel you can do it.. I will charge a small amount and do it for you. Good luck
