Its Broken ... i must have the worst luck going when it comes to cars !!

 

Take a look at these pics ...

 

but on the other hand the nissan is doing fine :) haha

 

this is from my Mondeo after my AEM water injection kit decided it wasn't going to play right ..

the injector that sits on the engine had a anti drip valve .... guess it decided it didnt want to work any more

was parked on a hill nose down and it let quite a bit of Meth/water in to the intake on the Mondeo

and Now i have 3 bent Con rods this is all so what happens to all Diesel cars that ingest water from flooded rds

the symptoms are normally Bad running loads of unburnt fuel looks like is steam engine when it run .. loads of Engine Knock

miss fire eerrmmm

 

like this but worse

****s sake lol

it didnt fail when it was being used .... or even using the meth it was the aem kit the valve stopped working and it let about 1lt of meth/water in to the intake system

the engine jammed on of turn of the engine and result is the bent 3 rods

 

oh these are forged rods and pistons as well

 

its a PSA engine not the Puma. that fails .. these engines are kinda bomb proof beside the injectors but thats the same on all modern diesel cars today

that funny i always thought they were crud engines too, we had one at work done like 40k regularly serviced you know fleet car. dropped a piston. and when we were looking for a focus we looked at diesel ones and were steered away as the ford diesel block had a bad rep.

but obvioulsy this time it wasnt related to the block it was the other part failing. but yeah.

the only known faults that i have delt with over the years of owning this one and helping out are

 

Dual Mass Flywheel ... and Transit are well known for failing at such low mileage

Fuel Pump eats its self and in turn takes out the injectors

or just the injectors normally failing around 80k

Rubber Boost pipe splitting

 

i still have my original injectors & turbo with 110k on them .. and still running the original pump,block,heads,gear box ...

 

how ever i have to buy a new DMF this time as after 60k theres to much play on it

 

 

but like more diesel cars .. have all most the same problems
