Hello
I have a problem with my Ford Mondeo,MK3,YEAR 2001,2.0,Petrol.It was just letting out thick white fumes from the tailgate and fuel was drinking up in seconds.At first i thought it was the ignition coil so i got it changed.but the situation didnt improve.
I got someone to diagnose it and found out that the fuel pressure regulator was not functioning.So it was causing the spark plug to misfire and also fuel to overflow in the spark plug.
Now,the thing is that i got a new fuel injector rail from the previous car owner.However it does not have any fuel pressure regulator attached to it and im wondering why?It doesnt even have a place where one can be fitted.
So the mechanic is telling me that the car was designed for weather in Europe.
So he said that during winter this is needed because of the cold weather.For your information,the car was manufactured in Germany and then sold in the uk.
The previous owner brought it to Seychelles which is a tropical country.So we dont have winter here.So i have been thinking if his explanation is credible and why the other new injector rail doesnt come with a pressure regulator.
Can someone please enlighten me because im a bit reluctant for my mechanic to change the original injector rail which comes with fuel pressure regulator to one that doesnt use one.
Thank you in advance
regards
