Engine Leak, Egr Valve, Fuel Pump Now Injectors :(

Hi all, i'm just posting to air my experiences recently and hope this may help someone else that may come across a similar problem. I've a Diesel Zetec Gal, 56 plate about 90k on the clock which had developed a small oil leak that was picked up by ford during a software upgrade. Also was the EGR valve warning.

 

I gave the car to a local mechanic to address the oil leak and subsequently he advised the EGR valve to be changed too which I then also had done. I got the car back and the car seemed to struggle and was running real rough, going back to the mechanic he then changed the inlet manifold (which came with the EGR valve) and the MAF in an attempt to fix but no joy.

 

Back to ford and they advised the fuel filter was breaking up and this would need changing and possibily the injectors (this was confirmed today).

 

Least to say so far this is all costing an arm and a leg but I'm so worried that something else might go wrong in the future is it worth investing in a extended warranty?

[How do you find out if you can get a software update on the gal ive got a 59 plate 2.0 zetec tdi, does this need a software upgade ?

If you've ever had your car serviced by ford I believe they put your gal details on their mailing list. I had a letter to say a software upgrade was available free of charge. Once they took it in they also did their free "29 point" check.
