Cheap car for work? Mondeo what to look out for
- Thread starter Cupra

Common fault on the Mondeo/Focus of this era.
And a little heads up to anyone with a focus with FSH, the focus came with a 12 year anti corrosion warranty, so if your focus is having this problem (rust on the inside of the door, near the lip) you can get it done under warranty. My old Y Reg 1.8 tddi Focus had 2 doors done FOC middle of last year.
(this is as long as the rust/rot hasn't gone past a particular stage however).All this going on about DMF failure irritates me as well, we have about 10-15 2.0 TDCI Mondeos at work, all have done over 150k, not one has had DMF failure. May be the luck of the draw but a problem on an incredibly popular car is always going to be more documented, so people sometimes over emphasise the issue thats all. It's injector problems to look out for, most injector problems with work cars were caused by mis-fueling however.
Just to wait now to be hit in the face by a massive wall of text from one of the usual bunch!

He's not trolling or anything, that actually is a post I made in a tongue in cheek manner after somebody on another forum posted about how much they hated BMW drivers

Ford book time is 12hrs.
Quite true - with hundreds of thousands of them out there, a few hundred internet posts about the problem is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Am I right in thinking to change the clutch etc on a mk3 mondeo you have to take off the front subframe of the car?
I only ask as I like to be hands on and am thinking of getting a mk3 next year, but thats something I'd need ideally a ramp for, not my dads garage at home :S
