What's wrong with my Ford Mondeo?

Hello.

I hope you can help. My 2006 Ford Mondeo 2.0-litre TDCi Platinum revs very high when ticking over and also lately will totally lose power and engine will cut out while driving.

Hi Anne,

It's impossible to diagnose such an issue from afar accurately, but known issues with that Mondeo include:

- Water in the fuel filter or tank (replace the fuel filter to check)

- Poor earth connection under the battery (check the physical connection for rust, etc)

- Fuel injectors out of calibration (requires reprogramming, usually at a dealer)

Another possibility is that the dual-mass flywheel has broken up and needs replacing.

I'd recommend you get the car along to a good mechanic to diagnose it properly.
