2 known faults with sources

Engines: 2.0 TDCi (Diesel)

Applies if: Ford’s 2.0 TDCi is the DW10 diesel developed with PSA (same block and ancillaries).

2.0/2.2 HDi DPF, EGR, turbo and flywheelDPF / EGR / turbo / flywheel

Engine / equipment: PSA 2.0 HDi (DW10) and 2.2 HDi (DW12), including the 2.0/2.2 JTD in the Fiat Ulysse and Scudo and the Lancia Phedra
Period mentioned: 1998–2015
Symptoms: Particulate filter warning and power loss; rough idle from a dirty EGR; vibration and knocks when starting or in low gears (dual-mass flywheel); smoke or hesitation from injectors at high mileage.
Possible cause described: The engine itself is very robust, but the ancillaries are not: the DPF with Eolys additive clogs in town use, the EGR and its cooler fill with soot, the variable-geometry turbo sticks and the dual-mass flywheel wears. The 136 hp versions have more problems than the 138 to 163 hp ones.
Check for the garage: Read the DPF status and additive level, check the EGR and cooler, check the dual-mass flywheel at start-up and measure injector balance rates.
Cost cited in the source: Forced DPF regeneration: €100–150; new DPF: €800–1,500; rebuilt injector: €200–250A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Mileage cited in the database: 120,000–180,000 km. This is not a maintenance interval and does not predict a failure.

Engines: 2.0 TDCi (Diesel)

Power loss, PowerShift gearbox and electronics on the Ford EdgeKnown weak points

Engine / equipment: Ford Edge 2.0 TDCi bi-turbo (210 and 238 hp)
Period mentioned: 2016–2020
Symptoms: Sudden loss of power when overtaking with a warning light on; with the PowerShift gearbox, rough shifts, reverse that will not engage, judder when pulling away, gearbox oil leaks and limp mode; a “check adaptive headlights” warning; a tailgate that opens by itself.
Possible cause described: The German guide mostly blames the power loss on a faulty oil-pressure switch. The PowerShift wet dual-clutch gearbox (6DCT450, only with the 210 hp diesel) has known problems; at high mileage the usual diesel items fail (sooted injectors, particulate filter, dual-mass flywheel, turbo, EGR). The adaptive headlights fail because of their control unit, and the tailgate is fixed with software. There were two recalls: LED cornering lights (built December 2015 to March 2016) and the air-conditioning compressor mounting (up to 20/4/2018).
Check for the garage: Read the codes and check the oil-pressure switch; test the PowerShift cold and hot and look for leaks; the guide recommends changing the gearbox oil every 50,000–60,000 km. Check both recalls by VIN.
