Yes Andy.

I had one from another garage that had a very similar history to it. Ultimately it turned out that the replacement engine had got the injectors from the original failed engine fitted. These injectors were incorrect for the second hand engine supplied.

If you ring your Ford parts dept & ask for an injector for a TDCI Mondeo (don’t be too specific) you will see that there are lots of choices available. My dealer stocks eight part numbers & although many look identical, some of them have different length nozzles. The nozzle protrusion into the combustion chamber can make a massive difference to how they run.

Trying to identify which injector is fitted (& more importantly, which ones should be fitted) to an engine supplied from a breaker, can be a headache to say the least.

The moral of the story is, to make sure that a second hand engine comes complete with injectors. If not then reject it!
