Why does my Ford Mondeo get smokey under acceleration?

We used to have a 2004 mondeo TDCi which did exactly the same thing. When we asked the technician at the ford garage he said that these engines quite often do this. If the DPF is clogged, it may help a little if it is replaced/cleaned etc. TBH though, there is nothing wrong with the car as a lot of these mondeos i have seen also do this 🙂

What kind of smoke does a Mondeo smoke?

IMO all Mk3 Mondeos smoke more than any other car on the road anyhow! Saccades, Jaguar will do the EGR that will fit yours for £60, cheaper than Ford, but it will have an electrical connection which can ignored as yours works on a vacuum.

What kind of power does a 2005 Mondeo have?

Have a 2005 Mondeo with 110K mls. Economy (45+ mpg) and power have always been fine since buying it with 80k mls. In fact the power is more 130ps than 115ps. However it has always chucked out excessive black smoke under acceleration.

How does fuelling work on a Ford Mondeo?

Fuelling should be dependant on boost ie the ECU should progressively increase fueling as the turbo spools. Old mechanical diesels used pneumatic boost compensators to adjust the fuelling to the level of boost in the manifold. Your TDCI will have an electronic equivalent. Again, a chipping device might override this.
