X Type 2.0D fuel problems

[marty599]

Hi all, I have an X Type 2.0 Diesel 2004 model. When the car had warmed up car seems to be running lumpy, acceleration is a little unresponsive for approx. 2 secs when in top gear. It feels like it is missing a little. I had the diesel filter changed but it seems to have gotten worse. When in top gear then putting foot down, it stutter for around 2 secs then ok until I accelerate again then runs lumpy for a bit then calms down. Any ideas as to the problem? Any advice or tips would be appreciated greatly. Thanks. Marty

Have you got an Engine Management warning lamp illuminating on the dashboard?

A common fault with the X type and the Mondeo TDCI engines is the Electronic Turbo Actuator failing. 

Unfortunately, this can be an expensive repair so certainly worth taking the car to a garage who can scan the Electronic Control Modules (ECM) for fault codes and live data. This will establish whether the Actuator is at fault.

Another (cheaper repair) is the EGR and inlet manifold 'clogging' up with carbon and will need removing to clean.

 

Hope this helps?

Thankyou, I have changed the EGR, and the intercooler pipe (which was split) Now it seems to be perfect. I had the AA do diagnostic check as there were no dash warning lights on. Well its all fixed now. Anybody else who has same sort of problems, try the intercooler pipe £22 from eBay. Cheap fix! Many Thanks for advice. Marty
