“I bought my 18month old Mondeo TDCI Ghia X in 2006...”

written by on 24/02/2011

I bought my 18month old Mondeo TDCI Ghia X in 2006 with 12k on the clock, to replace my 10 year old Mondeo Mk1. I too had the engine cut out once within the first month of driving it, but it never returned; on the whole the car was ok with plenty of power and would average 450miles on a full tank of Diesel . It now has 75k miles on the clock, I will be trading it in for a newer car this month.

I had the following faults with the car, over the 5 years I have owned it.

Dual mass flywheel broke up - replaced with starter motor, clutch and clutch slave cylinder. £1100

Turbo hose split - Replaced £170 fitted by Ford.

Windscreen washer pump replaced £11 from Ebay - Fitted myself

Both front coil springs broken at different times - £126 each fitted

Gearbox making clunking noise in 3rd and 4th gear when accelerating / decelerating - £130 new gearbox mount fitted - did not fix the issue.

Camshaft sensor faulty causing glow plug light to come on, and engine to enter limp home mode - £25 fitted by myself.

Leaking injector pipe causing diesel to spray onto the engine - £155 fitted

Boot release switch stopped working - Removed and cleaned with switch cleaner.

In the end I lost faith in the cars reliability, although it's a great looking car with good performance I would not buy another one.
