Many many many thanks Alan for all your videos. I also have a Mondeo mk5 2.0 TDCI 150 and your videos helped me a lot in a similar injection issue (with P0087, P228C, P0251 error codes in my historic DTC...). I'm not a mechanic at all, never done that before but I disassembled my 4 injectors and opened them and cleaned them. Now, no more limp mode and leak off (guy at Ford garage tells me there were 3 bars of pressure in the leak off pipes...) Without replace them for a lot of bucks...! (But I agree, it's crap a mess to access to them without breaking all the plastic fixations, but with taking time, they are all fine...)

I remember my old mk3 petrol mondeo I bought a brand new set of petrol injectors, proper bosche ones for £19! The gentleman had a surplus of duratec engines and was braking them all up for parts. Normally they're about £17 each... I know a diesel injector is a lot more complex and has to withstand the huge fuel pressure that's created by the pump and they are a lot more expensive. I had a chance to buy a titanium x diesel that was an ex fleet car which had full service history but I thought there's a lot to go wrong. My petrol mk4 is now hitting 37mpg on a regular basis. If I need more mpg I'll have a prinns lpg fitted.

I also know i should buy new replacements but these cars have no value at all and i dont mind to test, learn, trial and error, and find out how can i go around this. sorry for this long speech. stay safe and thank you!

Firstly head gasket and secondly egr valve. If the head gasket had gone would I always expect to see cream cheese in the oil filler cap? The car runs smoothly and drives perfect, secondly if the egr valve is the cause how would I check this? This problem has me stumped and have always received good advice from you in the past.

If you don't enter the individual injector correction codes you may notice some rough running and annoying noise cause by injection timing error and poor cylinder balance. On the other hand there is a statistical possibility that you will get away without doing so - it just comes down to individual component manufacturing tolerances.

Will the Mercedes ‘black death’ spread to the mk5 Mondeo? The price of new injectors...... absolutely scandalous!

Sadly Ford worked out how much they’d over engineered the MK4 and pulled it back a bit but then they aren’t in business for fun I guess.

Decidedly, I do not understand these engineers. Instead of continuing with a manufacturer who makes quality (Bosch, Siemens) and remain a base of a product that has proven itself, they will always look for a cheaper competitor who makes shit. I have a 2012 Mondeo Mk4 2.2l 200ps, Bosch system, perfect.

Emissions standards... egr, dpf more stuff to clog up and throw out sensors so you have to fix it and not drive while it smokes its tits off.... The bigger picture 📸

What a pity that Ford do not listen to Alan's feedback, if they did then EGR valves would have an Aluminium body with replaceable motor, thermostat housings would be Aluminium and other issues would be fixed ! The injectors appear to be a Peugeot issue rather than a Ford one as thats who makes the engine.
