hi i have a 2005 mondeo mk3 i have got the p0251 fault code i get a glow plug light come on and sometimes cuts out,
does anyone know if this is likely to be the injectors at fault, because i have spoke to some garages about it and one said its the injectors because there known for it and another garage told me to scrap it because he said its probably the pump breaking up and breaking the injectors but i think there the original injectors and its on 120k does anyone have any ideas ?
hi yes the fuel filter is the first thing i changed, and they did not do any tests and i have heard the P0251 code can be many things i have also cleaned my egr valve, i dont know what to try next, would i get that code from a faulty turbo it seems to cut out more on hills
I got all this crap out of the old filter there was no metal bits in it just crap filtered out of diesel by the looks of it, hopefully it should be ok I'm gonna get a leak off test done next, and does anyone know if the 115 have the same injectors as a 130 ?
Ok thanks for the help the 502z seems to be rarer injectors to get hold of and I could replace them then it turns out to be the pump, I'm just gonna flog it hopefully one of the local breakers will be interested
I can't read a thing on that pic you posted...are you sure they're 502? Still worth doing a cheap leak-off test if you've got the kit already.
Some on the bay £90 reconned. You might only need the one.
Hi yes I took multiple pics I uploaded the wrong one lol and yeah it ends with 502z and I'm just a bit worried that it will end up being the pump if I change the injectors, and I might get the leak off done first so I know what's going on with it.
Prudent to check for signs of pump issues on any car before planning injector replacement if necessary. But it was the early pumps that had the highest failure rate. Misfuel will not be good because pump relies on diesel to lubricate contact surfaces...
The only thing i checked was the old filter and there was no metal in it, and hopefully it should be ok it's a late 2005 so hopefully it will just be an injector replacement and does anyone know if second hand injectors would be ok from a low milage car ?
2nd hand injectors would be an unknown quantity, you may get a good one or you may
get one from a car that was scrapped because of the injectors.
A bit of pot luck. It maybe cheaper in the long run to get a decent quality reconditioned
one.
But there are plenty of reconditioned ones being sold that may have had little more
than a dip in a sonic cleaner.
