Fiesta TDCI injectors / oil burn - fignon03
Have a fiesta 1.4 TDCI for past year and a half, its 2002 zetec model and bought it from a main dealer with warranty. After 5 months there was trouble starting from cold, unstable idling and acceleration problems, after 6 weeks with dealer they replaced 4 injectors (JAN06) and records had shown these had been replaced previously. Roll on October 2006, same problems reoccuring, brought to dealer again in november and this time 3 injectors replaced FOC, but no further investigation or interest in possible underlying problem. Car running fine again but expecting a reoccurance and getting stung for new injectors at some stage, would like to keep the car, but have a lack of confidence. Any suggestions as to the underlying problem? I think 2002 was the first of the TDCI fiestas so maybe a design fault or ECU issue?
January 07 oil light comes on and topped it up with 4L of oil, End Feb 07, and 1500 miles later oil light on again and 2.5 L added, (all i had in the garage) anyone have any ideas on this?
