Ford mondeo help 2ltr tdci

[McFall1984]

Have a 03 mondeo here
2ltr tdci

Goes into limp mode under hard acceleration

Put the launch computer on an checked injectors
This is what I'm getting


Is injector 4 over fuelling?
I'm getting codes
P0251 and P1211

 

[Nicky]

High pressure pump is breaking down and filling the injector returns with brass filings.

Less than 5 mins pulls an injector out of them, so pull number 4 and send it to be tested

 

[McFall1984]

Aye is number 4 the fault going by the computer?
Is the injector pump on its way out or is the injector only at fault?

 

[Nicky]

I've done about 20 of those bastids and every single 1 has been pump failure. That's were the brass filings come from.

 

[McFall1984]

So it is the injection pump? Don't fancy fitting one of those

 

[Eager]

Mine done this then it sorted it's self out. It didn't like colder days. But Ye it just went away its self

 

[McFall1984]

Fitted a new fuel filter, was going to clean the EGR but the diagnostic can't lie
Thinking of removed injector 2 an 4 an get them reconditioned

 

[Apis]

An occasional dose of cheap 2T oil in the diesel helps keep your pump in good nick.

 

[McFall1984]

It's injectors I'm almost sure of now
Anyone got 2 good injectors?
Need to get them coded also

The STs don't like red diesel, I found this out the hard way.

What happened?

 

[G N K]

What happened?

Can't remember exactly what it broke but it used to cut out (completely shut down) after a certain amount of revs!

Manys a key flick to restart it when I forgot myself and put the boot down.

Yes anything mechanical I'm useless....

If they break I pay someone to fix them

 

[Blackie]

I was gonna say you need to rip no.2 out as well as it would appear to be under fueling

 

[McFall1984]

Car been sat from October 2014

The STs don't like red diesel, I found this out the hard way.

Ran one on red for 2 months with no issues maybe it was the containers you were using?

Maybe it was a score straight from the pump and it just didn't like it.

 

[Debaser]

Had the same kinda problem last year on a 2.2TDCi

Got leak-off tests on the injectors carried out, replaced fuel filter, all kinds of diagnostics

In the end everything was pointing towards the injector pump, so I just sent the car on down the road

Sometimes just better to walk away

 

[McFall1984]

Aye I've moved the car to my dads and unsure what to do
Either buy 4 good injectors and have them coded
Check if faults gone or
Cut my lose an sell to traynors

 

[Ge0rge]

they can be hard work, could be the pump, I'd do a leak off test first.

 

[McFall1984]

Aye must get a lend of a kit an do a test
Then I'll know if it's one or the other
