TDCI problem, dealer claims they all do that, are they right? :(
Got a ford focus 2.0 tdci about a month ago. Its got 50k miles and is 2.5 years old. Full service history and under warrenty.
When i bought it i thought it had a small noise, garage i bought it from looked and couldn't find anything. I wasn't worried as it was
under ford warranty. That noise has got worse. Took it to the ford dealer to be told "can't hear / find anything wrong, bring it in to the
dealership if there is still a problem for the service manager to see you".
Well took it in, got the foreman to come out with me and got told. They all do that sir, its induction noise.
The noise is (when warm) from just over tickover (say 850rpm) to 1500 rpm. Only occurs when in overrun and in all gears. Ie when slowing down. It
sounds like a high piched squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak sound. Its rate is speed dependent. Its not that loud.
Now I'm no rocket scientist but induction sound is a roar so I'm thinking perhaps wastegate. Has anyone else experienced this, know what
it could be & HOW I GET IT FIXED (its pee'ing me off).

Sounds like a load of typical dealer fob off bollox. They probably dont want to do it as theres no warranty money in it. Make them do it and get on
to ford customer care and theyl soon cough.

Got a Mondeo 2.0 TDCI (02 plate, 96k miles) and it doesn't make any squeaking noises on the overrun. Can sometimes hear the turbo whistling
quietly, but nothing else.

Induction noise on over run sounds like a load of b*llocks to me! I mean true on a diesel there is no butterfly valve in the induction system so its
the petrol equivalent of WO throttle all the time. but why would you get it only on over run if it was induction noise?

plan is to try and get in another blokes 2.0 tdci focus in the office. Mate has a volvo with the same engine and .... no similar noise.
Then thinking of going to the forecourt, test driving a car, when it doesn't make the noise going back and saying "WTF - why does
'they all do that' not occur on this car?"
really don't want the hassle  slightly tempted to go to the local ford specialist and ask him to diagnose it, pay him 1/2 hour labour and get
him to put it in writing then go back to them. But as i said, i don't want the hassle.

Hi TK, the answer is "f*****g expensive". Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Do they have sealing rings on the injectors? When the fire rings go they make noises like that.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Another subtle language-ism I'm afraid, the full names for the fluids in question are
Diesel Oil (when burnt in house heating systems they are referred to as Oil Fired)
Petroleum Spirit - maybe 'Spirit Burner' would work, though that's already used for small candle style burners.
