Having thrown even more money at Mondeo TDCi 115 having diesel pump and
injectors replaced I now find that a few times when accelerating hard the
engine begins to misfire and the glow plug light flashes. Turning ignition
off and restarting engine cures the problem. Any ideas before I return to
the garage who did the work.


Thought the TDCi was only 130 flavour? (earlier TDDi was 115) Anyhow, either
its overboosting, or the fuel rail pressure sensor is up the spout. (or the
pump is supplying too much pressure to the rail under full power)

They do do 115 TDCIs now, but it's odd that it's out of warranty, I
thought all the 115 TDCIs were fairly new.

It's still a common problem. www.fordmondeo.org have a pretty good lot
posting, so go along and ask there.

If you do a search, it may even answer the question for you.

FWIW, IIRC, it's down to the injectors being out of calibration.
Something that should have been done properly when they were fixed. It's
a simple job, and they should be able to do it quickly, and probably for
no fee either.
