Could be microbiological growth in the diesel. It grows in diesel that has been sat too long and the water content in the diesel increases over time. It'll block everything up from tank to injectors. I spent 21 years working for Esso and MBG was something that we had to regularly monitor. A friend of mine bought some "cheap" red diesel to put in his boat....the fuel had been sat too long and it made an absolute mess of the fuel system on his Volvo Penta Diesel.....he broke down in the middle of the River Tamar. I helped him clean everything up. Of course it could just be a relay 😀

No fault codes found. That occurred alot, even when RAC turned up, no fault codes. I got rid of it. Death trap just cutting out.

Bought a '56 plate 1.8tdci hatchback about 3 years ago. Almost straight away it started to play up - occasionally stuttering or cutting out, with the instrument cluster also behaving weirdly. Finally it died and went into immobiliser mode. The AA didn't have a clue, but a local auto-electrician knew it was the instrument cluster itself. He took it out and sent it away for refurbishment, got it back, refitted it and hey presto! That was at about 111K, I've put a lot of faultless miles on it since then. Apparently its quite a common fault, and Mondeos can suffer the same. Love your videos by the way.

Then it goes and disgraces itself and reminds you why it is you don’t deal in snotters!! Guess it’s fuel, but bizarre that it didn’t miss or judder before packing up. I knew a fella that had a fleet of these nationwide, all 1.8 tdci’s - he liked them because they were cheap and easy to repair- but he swore that the engines would always fail at around 220k miles - you could almost time it, apparently- love the vids, can’t wait for the next one, Cheers.

Take the injectors out and try starting the engine. If diesel sprays out of the injectors it is not a fuel issue. It could be a compression issue or a timing issue. It does sound like you might have had the cambelt skip a tooth, it as been sitting for a while somtimes the cambelt can get a bit stiff.

Just sold my wife’s 56 plate 1.8 tdci, 170k. Ford went over to a wet belt for the lower cam belt at around that year, so two belts, the earlier engines where chains on the lower. Total arse to change. 100k interval changes. Didn’t wanna risk it, so sold it. Also, these don’t have lift pump.. so are a arse to bleed. Vacuum fill the filter after fitting it and you may have to crack the injector pipes while cranking.

@bill Bloggs Not sure the diesel TDCi has wheel sensor. Just to clarify to everybody, when I say mine cut out, it would actually go into limp mode which is just as dangerous as it drops down to about 15mph max. First time it happened was on the M56. I was doing about 80mph and the warning lights and ford sound went off on the panel. So F dangerous. I managed to get it quickly onto hard shoulder. No way was I sitting in the outside lane. I would rather the speed kept up and the engine melted than Fking limp mode.

Hi Rob, first thing I would check are the cambelts, you have a top belt and a bottom chain, but yours is boarder line when they changed for a bottom wet belt. A quick spray with easystart would rule them out if it starts. Word of warning, if you change the fuel filter you have to pressurise the fuel system with a primer bulb or it will never start 👍🤞.
@hojnikb
@hojnikb 5 жыл бұрын
Looking at the engine bay and sound of the engine, this might be 1.8tdci, correct? I'd start by looking at the cam position sensor, These tend to break after a while and engine will immediately stop running. Then there's the usual fuel issues (1.8tdcis dont have a low pressure fuel pump, so you can skip looking at those). As others suggested, fuel filter, air in the system, sludge diesel or water could be the issue here. If you plan on changing the fuel filter, i highly recommend installing non return valve style hand pump in the fuel rail (easiest to do in the plastic rail just above the fuel injectors). This will get rid of any air, when you change the filter and make your life much easier. Renault DCIs use this kind of pump from the factory! Snapped belt(s) or dead high pressure fuel pump could also be the issue, but probably less likely. Also, i'd invest into a forscan compatible obd scanner (around 5-10$ on ebay, software is free). It makes diagnosing these suckers much easier.

Weird cutting out with no fault codes stored problems on Focuses (and related cars like CMaxes, Transit Connects etc.) can be caused by the solder joints on the main connector for the clocks cracking- this causes CANBUS faults. I think normally you get weird warnings and limp mode before it dies completely, but it's quite an easy job to whip the clocks out, dismantle them and re-solder the joints, so maybe worth a go. Took me about an hour to do my brother's. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5qae5qrf5WUpqc

Another fantastic video Rob. 6 months ago, I had the same Focus but 59 plate TDCI, very similar mileage...best car I have ever owned (had it about 7 years). I commute in and out of London, the car cost me nothing but pads and disks, oil and the odd set of tyres. By far the cheapest and most reliable car I have EVER owned. It had the Lynx engine which was solid as anything. Started getting quite a lot of oil leakage at 160k, the cost to get an indy to clean engine and work out where the leak was was going to be costly, so sadly, I traded it in for a brand new ULEZ compliant car. Wish I could have kept it as it was solid as anything. Hope you can get this one sorted as I loved mine and did a similar mileage to your one in it.

Great video Rob. There was me thinking that was going to be a super quick turnaround. Be interesting to hear what the problem was.

Good luck bleeding and changing the fuel filter! It is an absolute nightmare! Well the bleeding part. I would advise to change the insert filter and fill the fuel to the top of the filter housing before putting it all back. I have also poured the diseal into the outlet pipe going into the injectors and the reassemble. Only then it has started :)

The mic does the job, I wouldn't worry too much, if the car is knackered, like you say you can flog it for spares or repairs and get your money back but hopefully it'll be a cheap fix which will make a more interesting video finding out what's wrong with it. Keep the vids coming Rob, all worth the effort

Great video.....I have watched pt2 for the outcome already as well. I was thinking fuel starvation myself, but surely the scan would have picked up pressure issues ? Amazingly simple fix tho with a few blobs of fresh solder.......you have now inspired me to check the all the soldered joints in the Inlet Manifold Runner Control box on both mine and my brother's V6 Cougars, which are both sodding around the same !!! By the way, I used to deliver beer up around the Sittingbourne area in the early 2000s.......including the Long Hop pub just up the road from that car wash you used !!! 👍👍🍺🍺🍺 Cheers !!!

The mic has made a massive difference 👍 As for the breakdown I'm guessing fuel blockage. A mate of mine had a discovery that had been laid up about a year and the diesel in the filter and pump had turned to black gunge.

Hope it's just the filter but I've had experience of a couple of transit connects with this 1.8 tdci which have suffered complete pump failure with no warning signs before hand. They like regular filter changes and not to be run low on fuel. Good luck!

Hi Rob, After reading all comments so far i recon check all fuel possibilities and if ok then electrical, reminds me of my late dad's Chrysler Avenger would drive beautifully 1 minute then cut out the next and even the AA couldn't get it going turned out a previous owner had lost the fuel cap and used corrugated paper as a temp measure and yes you've guessed it it went into the tank and semi dissolved. ended up new fuel tank etc. Again i say the joys of motoring...

Looks like you bought it from a farmer. Manky red diesel? Check ecu for moisture. I had a golf gti that used to cut out and the windscreen drain holes were blocked so water slurped over ecu. Had to use to wait 10 minutes before it started again.

Hi Rob. Mic makes all the difference. I'm going to hedge my bets on the diesel filter and as the car was standing for so long, stale diesel. Great vid as always.

Top video, the wind noise was non existent with the mic, a lot better than normal when your in the wind. Fingers crossed it's something and nothing and you get it up and running, it will be interesting to find out. Cheers 👍 Jack

From the euphoria of getting that 200 quid motor started, cleaned and MOT'd in a couple of hours to the despair of it breaking down on a miserable February afternoon miles from nowhere. Rob, you certainly put us the grinder sometimes ............. and with dirty fingernails as well ........................it's what we all love watching, keep it going please

I'd go with fuel filter. Had this on a Mondeo that I bought that had only moved 500 miles in the year before I bought it. New filter, new oil/filter and clean up the EGR she ran perfectly. Good luck 👍
