The first and most common is when it won’t turn over. This just means that the engine doesn’t move when you turn the key. The second way that your Mondeo won’t start is when the engine turns when you engage the starter, but it won’t fire and run on its own.

Why is my Ford Mondeo engine spinning over?

If not then I would guess the battery is faulty. If the engine is spinning over then it may be an alternator problem. On the Mondeo the alternator is controlled through the ECU so an alternator fault would put the management light on. Of course I haven’t seen the car but this is my best guess. Could be a starter motor.

Why is the fuel flap on my Mondeo not opening?

The solution is to fit a clip to the clutch spring stop to prevent spring elongation. Problem: Fuel flap does not open.

The revised flap has an extra 1mm of material to ensure spring contact.

What kind of hesitation does a Mondeo have?

My brother in law has a 51 plate Mondeo 115 TDCi auto which has developed a general lack of power throughout the rev range and a fairly severe hesitation / judder at around 50mph.

As it’s a diesel it’s probably not the right word, but what it does is like a misfire in a petrol engine – it “staggers” under acceleration. It’s only done it 3 times – twice on Thursday evening, and once today. Otherwise it’s running and driving fine. It is regularly serviced.

Why does my engine make a knocking noise when the EGR is closed?

Knocking noises from the engine can be caused if the EGR is constantly closed. This is because at low rpm the fuel ignites early when it meets the high temperature. Detonations are also common as a second ignition can occur after the normal ignition.

Mondeo Mk3 2005 130bhp 2.0 tdci. 108000 miles. With normal driving the car behaves OK. I’ve driven at 85mph in 4th gear @4000rpm without any problems. The car starts fine even on cold mornings.
