Hello members, new to the group...apologies if this question is posted in the wrong thread.
Basically I own a 2014 Mondeo Auto Diesel (210000km) which from early own produced the dreaded transmission issues. I have learnt to live with said problem but the other day the vehicle decided to strip its timing belt with also the possibility of needing a new compressor. I really don't wont to spend on repairs for a vehicle with issues. Here's my question: Do 2017, 2018 Mondeo Diesel Auto's have the same issues as their previous model? I really like the units as they are economical / versatile but as you can image I am a little shy on purchasing the same model if the transmission issues weren't ever resolved. Cheers in advance |

Citroenbender. No I haven't sold the unit yet. Been quoted $900 for install of a $50 belt and possibly another $1200 for a replacement Compressor.
Yes $2500 compared to $17k to $20K replacement vehicle makes fiscal sense. In two minds just to get rid and start a fresh |

It will be new belt, rockers, cover seal, oil, flush and filter to rectify the motor, that’s probably your $900.
Compressor, if the system is not open to air it’s possibly just the variable displacement electrovalve which is faulty. So a new VDV, flush, vacuum and gas. A lot of AC auto elecs don’t want to do just a VDV in case it still doesn’t fix the car, plus there’s a lot more fat on an OEX or similar compressor in trade price vs retail. |

Thank you for the explanation. I am the first to admit that I am inept when it comes to things under the bonnet...with cars at least.
Always feel like I'm being taken for a ride (no pun intended) when it comes to Auto Mechanics. Think I have made my mind up to open the wallet on repairs. NB Still interested to know if the 2017 and younger Mondeo Diesel Autos are any good. Were the transmission issues resolved? |
