Have just completed 1200 miles in the new diesel. Very pleased with it.

However, it started to feel that it was running on 3 cylinders when having more than a half throttle opening. Very lumpy indeed. Took it straight to the garage to find that an injector had failed. Car off the road now until they can get a part in the next few days. :facepalm:

You may have clocked up the first engine related failure here Nev :lol:

Surprised that something as common as an injector takes a few days to obtain though.

It's the sort of repair I'd expect to happen while you wait.

I know. Ill keep you posted!

All injectors are now being replaced...

Ford have put out a notice about this today:

We've identified a number of faulty fuel injectors in 2.0L EcoBlue Diesel engines, in vehicles built between 25/02/19 and 13/09/19.* This is due to a batch of high-pressure fuel injectors from a supplier that failed to meet our stringent quality levels.

This could affect Transit, Transit Custom, Ranger, Focus, Mondeo, S-MAX, Galaxy & Edge vehicles.

Affected vehicles could experience a misfire and reduced engine performance.

What are Ford doing to help?

At least they should now have the parts in stock to do a quick turnaround.
