2 known faults with sources

Applies if: Only the 2.0 TDCi, which is the PSA DW10 engine.

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.

Applies if: Weak points of this model from inspections, breakdown statistics and recalls; anything specific to one engine is stated in the sheet.

Lights, brakes, oil leaks and campaigns on the Mondeo VKnown weak points

Engine / equipment: Ford Mondeo V (petrol, hybrid and diesel)
Period mentioned: 2014–2022
Symptoms: Failing lights, excessive brake wear within a few years, a weak battery (2014–2015) and more oil leakage.
Possible cause described: Recalls: pressure plate on manual EcoBoosts, the A/C compressor pulley on the 2.0 TDCi, 2.0 Duratorq overheating, the 2.0 diesel fuel sensor and, on hybrids, a seat-belt pretensioner cable that could come loose.
Check for the garage: Check campaigns by VIN; check the oil level often; check lights and brakes.
