Mondeo fault code - P269F Engine Malfunction

[ShivP]

Hi all,

Had this fault code suddenly appear on my car What a time

I assume it's the fuel vaporiser. They aren't cheap so I'm happy to diagnose a little bit, but is there anything else it could be?

It's a 2012 2.0 TDCI Powershift 163PS

Thanks

First result in a search for your fault code found this:-



This was from the site Ask Harry.

Thanks. I did see that, but was just more interested whether it could (hopefully) be a simple 'cabling' issue etc with a poorly connected glow plug or fuse

Would this fault being present prevent regeneration from even being attempted?

If not, I wonder whether adding a shot of Eolys with each tank (Like redex in the good old days) might help to protect your expensive DPF until you can actually have it fixed.

(Eolys allows regeneration to take place at lower temperatures)

I would imagine so, however I am not using the car at the mo and it will go straight to the garage to be repaired so I don't envisage this becoming a problem

OK - thanks. I've found a genuine vaporiser for £118 so I'll go ahead and order that.

Not a bad price that. They're not too difficult to replace, although I wouldn't like to do it on my back on a driveway! Just a single retaining nut, a single pipe and wiring connector.

Yes - look to be £250+ from 'rates-ford' on eBay (dealer) so not bad at all.
