Carrying out a D.I.Y diesel injector leak off on Kenny's Ford Mondeo ST TDCi 2.2.
#cars #funny #test
Both the 2.0 & 2.2 Ford TDCi engines are renowned for jnjector issues. With symptoms such as smoke on start-up & a slight miss every so often, Kenny thought this would be a great place to start the diagnosis.
We carry out the D.I.Y leak off test following Delphi's instructions, step by step. Although this isn't specifically an instructional guide, we do run through all the information you need to carry out this simple test yourself, at home.
We managed to get some great feedback from the results courtesy of the Mondeo ST Owner's Club on Facebook too.
Stay tuned for the same test on my (Drew's) Jaguar X-Type (which shares the same 2.0 TDCi as the a standard Mk3 Ford Mondeo)
