The FORD MONDEO Base is a familiar presence on New Zealand roads, offering a blend of practicality and value. To keep your Mondeo performing at its best, it’s essential to be aware of common maintenance needs and potential pitfalls.
Maintenance & Potential Issues
Key areas to monitor include the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) for diesel models, often needing cleaning or replacement around 120,000 km. Keep an ear out for unusual noises from the power steering pump; its failure could lead to stiff steering, requiring timely attention. Additionally, the electronic park brake can sometimes be problematic, so regular checks are advised to ensure it operates smoothly.
Regular servicing is not just recommended - it’s crucial for prolonging the lifespan of various components. For instance, around 150,000 km, the cooling system components, including the water pump, thermostat, and radiator, should be inspected to prevent overheating issues. This is where you can connect with our Cooling category for everything you need.
