Same engine here on an X-type. I bought the car a few weeks ago for cheap because it had a limp mode/glowplug fault. Turned out to be a sticky turbo actuator. When I started the car I could hear the actuator buzzing and clicking and I just literally gave the lever a helping "shove" to help it on its way when the car was idling and the problem and light disappeared! I followed up with the Mr. Muscle method, where you drill and tap a hole in the turbo to clean the vanes. Easy, but scary, job.

Hi there. again bothering you with some questions for this car. Have you done any video where you open the top of the engine? cylinder gasket? or something like that? I want to open the engine myself but its always better to have some 'video guidance' :) cheers!

My heater plug light is flashing on my transit van but it starts and runs fine, the only thing I can say is wrong is that when you leave it idling for long periods of time then go for a drive i get loads of smoke out the exhaust but after driving for a while it clears any ideas? it's a 2002 t280 100 2.0td swb I tried plugging in my obd2 code reader but I won't connect. Thanks, Great channel btw 👍

The UnrulyKZbinr it's hard to say as I cannot see the van but there is a couple things you can try maybe clean the EGR valve also you can put special cleaner through the diesel but I really need some coats before I can really give you any real advice

Hello. I have a problem with my 2006 Mondeo 2.2 TDCI. I own it from April 2018. Last month the engine revs were really shaking on cold start and there was also some white smoke and smell coming out of the exhaust for a few seconds. Also there was a lot of grey/black smoke coming out while accelerating. My mechanic changed the EGR valve, because the one before stayed in open position. And he also cleaned that black manifold. A few days with no problem and a lot less smoke coming out. Today happened the same story with the grey/black smoke on accelerating and soon after that the glow plug light started blinking and the car lost the power on acceleration. It also smokes more white than before. What do you think it could be the reason? Turbo, injectors or anything else? Thank you for a good video. Best regards, Gregor

Hi mate it's going to be very difficult for me to diagnose as if your mechanic had a look at it and he can't figure it out will be very difficult for me over message but you are going to have to get it tested do a leak down test on the injectors and also check the high pressure pump and see what pressure you are getting from it
@zaduwanija44626 жыл бұрын

If the indiciator plug just comes on sometimes. Or if it started to come on, only when hot and with time startet to come on more often with the limp-mode. And eventually the indicator lamp will always be on and driving in limpmode. IT COULD BE THE ACTUATOR FAILING!!! I tried alot of things. And after some more research i found this out. Simply was the actuator. In the shop they will force you to shift the whole turbo since the actuator is normally not for sale alone. You could find one very expensive (several 100 $£€) or buy a used one at ebay. There is also possible to fix it yourself. I did but my soldering of the wires only lasted for 20minutes or so. I got a used one for 45£ and its never been a problem since!
