First Timer (not Geek Lol)

[Guest Blue Mondeo]

Hi, :lol:

 

I just thought i would say hello to everyone although it seems that I am surrounded by giants as I am a Mondeo owner. Have had a Galaxy as a company car and loved. Not normally a ford man but I must admit that these new models are the dogs b*ll*^ks. :D

 

I have had my 02 mondeo now for 2 months and totally love it. Feel like a kid with a new toy, something I havent felt about a car for a long time.

 

Nayway i look forward to reading all the great forum stories, tech, advice and so on.

 

Have a great day all :lol:

and a big welcome from me too. I had a Mk III Mondeo before the Galaxy.....loved it but they dont make a seven seater to fit all the kids in! Agree with your comments on Ford....Ive had mk2 escorts and mk3 Cortinas....all sheds!

Thanks guys, its nice to feel welcomed anywhere.

 

All I have to do now is try and sort out the problem I am now having with my car. Rough running and doing my head in as I cant work out why.

Blue you need to give me some more info ....... my TDCI had what felt like misfiring between 1800 and 2000 RPM in fifth going up hills (known problem) .... had the ECU remapped.... still there....nothing they could do as this common problem was being investigated by Ford .... Another solution could be the Injector pump timing which is critical. Give it a good BLAT up a Motorway to see if that cures it.

Mine isnt misfiring but noisier than it should be and runs rough once warmed up. This morning it started nice and smoothand ran perfect. Once it warmed up it sounded load and felt rough again. I have done allot of things like service, changed coolant, checked for air leaks (couldnt find any as yet) and even done the exhaust test to see if it is blowing. Talking about exhausts, it reminds me, if i floor the throttle, the power drops and you get like a deep roar (sounds like the exhaust blowing but smoother).

 

Any ideas? :angry:

[Guest gooner52]

Hi,

Just re-read the thread and noticed that it is for diesel engines, dont think it would apply for my car.

 

Thanks anyway.
