Mondeo ST TDCi - fuel system emergency!
Discussion
Hi all - posting here at very short notice to try and harvest any useful suggestions to this situation!!
My wife's 2005 Mondeo ST TDCi 2.2 broke down on friday in the pouring rain. Only just 10,000 miles on the clock. I thought it was the fuel pump as did the AA man.
Today the Ford dealer has called to say that water contamination in the diesel has caused the fuel pump to break down and pass metal filings into the fuel system.
The implication is that the diesel she filled up with 200 miles ago, contained water (no mention of a larger problem caused by the monsoon-like weather here last week). As such, this is NOT covered by warranty.
I am now facing a £2077.00 bill (yes - the decimal point is in the right place - two thousand pounds!!) and I need to give them the 'go' tomorrow.
I am utter past myself. Its going to be a big chunk of money out of my pocket for a problem that I am not entirely convinced will not happen again in another month - for which Ford will take ANOTHER £2000 off me!
Has anyone heard of this problem before?
I am seriously depressed at this stage!
Many thanks for any helpful comments.
