Who owns a Mondeo ST220 / ST TDCI?

Anyone had any issue with a small whine? It small like some kind of pump or belt makes a small whine when revved a little. I was thinking the power assisted steering but it feels fine?
 
If it was the pas pump, wouldn't it be noisy when turning the wheel rather than revving the engine?

Had it with the garage this moring for a quick look and they believe it may be the alternator. It's not loud enough at the minute to be 100%, so I plan on getting it booked in for a proper test when they have more time. I don't fancy replacing something that doesn't need done.
 
Anyone got any info for on the 2.5T Mondeo? Keep finding my self looking at the 09/59 Colorado Red Titanium X 2.5T.

Real MPG's round town/motorway.
Any reliability issues?

When is the next Mondeo due out, as i am guessing this will push the price down even further?

There is one up for £7k on AutoTrader and i am considering going to have a look at it. Well, that is if it is still for sale at the beginning of next year.
 
yeah +1 - the 2.5T Mondeos are stupidly cheap for their performance/quality

I guessed (and reading forums prob correct) - that no better than the Focus STs

IE pretty dire mpg wise :(

I average around 25mpg mostly doing B roads going to and from work.
 
The Focus ST lot are a mixed bunch of opinions when it comes to MPG's. If i could get 30MPG on NSL road's, i would be happy.The Mondeo being a bigger heavier car, i could only see it being even worse than the Focus ST.

Just wanting a bigger car with the same power and think these Mondeo's look stunning with the right trim and colour.

Only the bigger car out there at the moment that i would trade my VXR for. (except for a VXR8, but i cannot afford one :( )

This is what i would want:

Stunning looking vehicle imo.

Extremely well :). You never think it's a big car when you drive it. When you want to cruise, it do so smoothly and when you want to take it down some B-roads, it's still very competent.

It's a lovely car and a very handsome one at that. Unfortunately my one was in an accident and they deemed it a total loss which broke my heart. And now I can't find anything similar.

mmm - how tempting :)

its frustrating that that 2.5T engine - seems - even with the 6th gear to just not do too well on the motorway compared to its peers

you hear of 35+ on 2.0T VAG engines, and 35+ on BMW 3 series flat 6 engines on long runs :(

mind you Focus STs and Mondeo STs are cheaper to buy
