Injector Pump Shaft Broke at 82,000 Miles,... a disaster!!!
I really liked this car until it stopped on the roadside. The Injector Pump Shaft had broken and will cost approximately 2,500 to 3,000 Euro to Replace.
I was amazed to find that Ford had designed the car, so that the power steering pump is driven by a pulley on the Injector Pump. After making inquiries it appears that injector pump shafts have given trouble due to the additional pressure of having to drive the power steering pump.
Ford Ireland and the Ford Main Dealer where the car was purchased, were no help at all. I will NEVER buy another Ford!!!
I would like to know if the new model Mondeo is designed the same way? Has anybody else had a similar problem with a Ford Mondeo Turbo Diesel?? If so let me know at :- tomward@eircom.net.
Just a note to let you know that Ford Ireland Ltd. and I have brought this matter to satisfactory conclusion.
Weird - mine's done 140,000 miles and has never had any fuel pump trouble.
I want to get rid of this car, but it's just so utterly reliable I can't justify it. The most serious thing that has ever gone wrong with it is when the reversing light switch packed up.
