Please help
I have a 2010 Mk4 Mondeo 2000 TDCI 140BHP Zetec with 128,000 miles and full dealer service history.
The car is perfect except for a reoccuring problem.
Without warning, and for no apparent reason, the ESP light comes on and this is usually followed with engine malfunction and the car going into limp home mode.
It has happened about 7 or 8 times in about 3,000 miles and I have had a diagnostics which reveals U0001 (High speed CAN loss communication BUS) and U0415 (invalid data received from ABS)
The fault has occured 3 times at the same roundabout (which is strange) and only appears to happen at night (which is stranger)
The fault also has varying degrees of severity - sometimes the ESP light comes on and stays on and thats it - sometimes the ESP light is followed by the engine malfunction and going into limp home mode - sometimes the ESP light is followed by engine malfunction AND every light is flashing and every warning noise is bleeping and bonging and the car will only tick over - sometimes the EML is left on and other times nothing. The fault resets after turning the car off for a minute and restarting.
Anybody with any ideas or experienced a similar faulty
The fault usually occurs at 20-40MPH and at low revs - although it has happened going around the same roundabout 3 times it has also occured once on a smooth duel carriageway, going in a straight line at about 60MPH in 6th gear
Please help
Thank you
Phil
PS - On a cold morning or a cold evening after standing the car is a bit hard and lumpy at start up - it's fine after that - thought I'd mention it.
