hi im thinking of buying a mondeo 05 or 06 plate tdci either a 2.0 or 2.2 with 100k on the clock what engine gives the least probs or what wld owners recomend cheers

 

The 2.2 TDCi is a punchy unit... I drove an '09 Titanium X Sport the other day and it was very impressive and a great place to be.


Cheers,
Grant

 

2.2 i drove a SMAX in both and 2.2 was worlds apart imo

 

I've got a 2.2 and it's by far the best engine. I'm thinking of selling soon too.

 

a certinly fancy a 2.2 a take it the injector problems will be the same for both the 2.0 and 2.2 looking at a titanium x with 113k on it where as the 2.0 has 99k but a fancy the 2.2 anybody got any idea of the difference in fuel consumption between the two cheers

 

my wifes 2.0 130 does around 48 average and my dads 2.2 st does around 44 average

Usually the higher bhp car tend to suffer with more injector problems than the lower bhp cars,not that i can prove this, but my mate who works at Ford told me when i was looking at my TDCI

 

the 2.2 is the st engine

 

suppose it might be true enough bout the higher bhp the more injector probs as they are under more strain

 

I'd go for the 2.2 option Gogsie...

yeh i think a prob will grant but dont want hit with injector bills if the 2.2 is a lot worse as for mpg it depends on the driver at the end of the day

 

I've got a 2.2, not had any major problems with it, only thing that did cause concern was a boost pipe going, but was cheap enough to fix. Mpg is good, avg mpg on dash shows 34 - 38 round town, and between 47 - 55 on motorway, depending how its driven. Didnt think there was any difference between the two with regards injector problems, in either case its likely to be a big bill to sort. Mines a 54 plate on 120k, apart from boost pipe and back box falling off, no real problems. Have got some rust making an appearance tho, inside drivers door, and roof rails starting to bubble in places.
