Hi all

I, have a 59 mondeo with a tdci 2.0 engine, that has over the last few months developed a MIL engine light on, that shows as injector no 1 is faulty. the light does go off after a few days/thrash, but does come back on, and stay on for a week or so
I do have a laptop with an obd lead, but can not cancel the fault

This was caused (as its never come on in 7 years !!) as a friend told me to fill up with shell v power, as it was cleaner, and what a bloody stupid thing I did, I filled the car up with the stuff, and ever since, had problems

so, as its about a grand to sort 4 injectors and a Ford ecu setup, how do I sort this problem easily

Is there any decent cleaner I can stick in the tank ? or any other advice, that does not include anything stupid, as in burn the car, or change it

Just change 1 and get it reprogrammed by independant foRd garage.
Alternative try a can of Bg products diesel cleaner best on the market

The injectors are coded with their precise flow rate, provided you replace with the same coded value you do not need to reprogram the ECU, so if you choose to replace match it up at the parts factor.

These injectors are incredibly delicate, just removing can get them dirty enough to screw them up, it's worth checking that it's not the fuel pump failing and introducing fine metal particles into the fuel before flogging a whole lot of money into the injectors to just have to repeat this. This means removing the old one and have it inspected unfortunately.

Chris you need to do a leak back test be for you do any thing if you think you have an injector going down. You dont need to replace them all.

Try a new fuel filter, the 'cleaner' fuel has probably loosened the captured crap in the current filter, and let some through to the injector.

I've got exactly the same age 2.0 tdci Mondeo and have occasionally used V Power with no probs. Diesel filters are due every 3 years and are easy enough to change. You need to pull the fuel through manually after changing though before the engine will run.
