Default Re: What problems have you had with your Mondeo?

After replacing Fan Controller Unit just over a month ago, a new issue has appeared. Power steering pump is making a horrible noise. Apparently it would have required a genuine Ford pump, and a rack rebuild / replacement. Was getting quotes of minimum $2100 to fix.........

A bit of background, the reservoir was replaced 13 months ago when similar sounds occurred. This silenced the issue, once the orange filter was removed. According to the mechanic, it is a common trait. Replace reservoir, it will last about 12 months, then pump........etc. The issue from what I have been told is in the rack, with a component that is slowly breaking down. Now mine as mentioned in previous posts is a 2007 MA, so fairly early into the production run.

So with heavy heart, the decision was made to trade the old girl in. Just had too many expenses over the last 6 months, who knows what would go next on her. It was a great 10 years, but all good things must come to an end.
