Ford Mondeo Tdci - Turbo Problems - terryn
I have a 2002 Mondeo Tdci (128 HP) automatic with a pneumatic variable vane turbo charger.
Last year (40,000 miles) it began to lose power below 2,000 rpm and there was hesitation at 1,500 rpm. The Garage could find nothing listed on the computer.
Eventually I changed the turbo and this cured it for 3,000 miles but now the problem is recurring.
Has anybody had similar experiences and is there a cure?

Has the EGR valve been checked? Nothing would show up on the computer if it was jamming open or closed.

Rather an expensive misdiagnosis?
You are throwing money around in the dark, to me. (I hate new diesels)
