Recently bought an 05 115 TDCI Mondeo.

She is so far been very good as in MPG and good space and comfort.....But!!

When driving slowly she kind of wants to go, feels like she is pulling when the clutch is depressed? Very much like a Pug 205 1.9 GTI around town, so a real sh~t.....Once on the open roads she is fine. Also she can be a pig to get in to reverse sometimes......Is this the dreaded DMF on its way out? She has covered 135k. If it is the DMF, is it really as expensive as I have read as in parts?

Also.....With 135k would she be ok for a re-map? She does have full service history.

 

If the DMF hasnt been changed already, I would say its that after 135k miles.

 

dont know much about that model ,but previous ones had lift pump problems,if you ve got service history and its had its services should be good for 180 k try cleaning breathers and egr valve they cause running problems.
