MONDEO TDCI, STARTING PROBLEMS - sedpig
I have had my new Ford Mondeo TDCI estate since July 2002 (4K miles). Already it has been towed into a Ford dealer by the RAC twice. Both occasions, on starting, the glow-plug light would flash, the engine would turn over but it would not start. On the first occasion it was in the dealers for 7 days.
Eventually they changed the ICU (Injection control Unit).
On the second occasion (1 month later) the same starting problem occurred. This time they changed the CMP sensor, again something to do with the injection system.
Fords Customer services say, “If the car is towed in three times with an identical fault, we will replace the car.”
What they mean by “an identical fault?”
I feel I’m going to have more starting problems. Will I qualify for a replacement car if I do?
