Ford Diesel Glow plug light

[Charlie Ware]

Hi all ,
My dad says

I have a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 05 plate with 78K on the clock. The problem I have is that the glow plug light comes on and turns off the engine almost every time I apply heavy power, especially going uphill. When the glow plug lights up, it sometimes it gives me half power, sometimes just shuts off completely. I think it is called “Limp Mode” – it enables you to limp home. It must be a fuel problem. It now seems as if I have lost a bit of power in general, possibly my turbo was half faulty and now it has gone?? OK driving round town in low gears but as soon as you are in 4th or 5th at slowish speed then the light comes on and or cuts out.

Been in garage, had injectors tested and all OK. Been in Ford Garage for diagnostics test, “Fuel problem mate”. Yes I know, I told you that I said! £1200 to replace the fuel pump and sensor and they can’t guarantee it will fix the problem. So I have NOT had it done.

Is there anyone who has had this before or can suggest what to do. Will try anything.

Thanks all
