Reconditioned Ford Mondeo Turbo – Ref. 16399880038

Diagnosing the turbo on your Ford Mondeo before replacement

Before carrying out any work on your Ford Mondeo fitted with the 1.5 EcoBoost engine, a thorough diagnosis is essential. A gradual loss of power, an unusual whistling noise under acceleration, exhaust smoke, or excessive oil consumption can all point to a failing turbocharger. On this petrol turbocharged engine, a metallic noise from the wastegate or an illuminated engine warning light accompanied by a boost fault should also raise the alarm. A diagnostic scan tool check, combined with a visual inspection of the turbine's axial play and the condition of the hoses, will confirm whether the turbo is indeed at fault before committing to a replacement.
