It's interesting to hear about your experience. Well, I should probably be prepared for a similar amount. I haven't read out a code yet, just wanted to see if anyone had similar problems. I haven't taken my Ford Mondeo to the garage yet. Let's see if that changes soon. So, it was last checked at 142705 km.

Well then, don't stress. It's always good to see if others have had similar problems and experiences. In my case, it was actually simple cable damage. It could be that your Ford Mondeo has the same problem. On the other hand, with the check engine light, the smell and the black smoke, it almost sounds as if you could actually have a functional fault in the fuel pressure sensor. But without an exact code from the fault memory, it's just guesswork. Would recommend you read out the fault code or have it read out to see what exactly is going on. Ideally, it's something small that can be fixed quickly and won't cost you too much. And if you're lucky, it really is just a cable. Ultimately, there are many possibilities, but without the error code, it's all just speculation. If anything comes up, let us know. Maybe we can find a solution together. Hope this helps you and you get it sorted soon.

Hey, thanks for your reply! That's a good hint to read out the error code. I'll definitely do that in the next few days and post it here. It could be that it really is just a cable. Until then, I'll just hope for the best and that it's nothing serious. I'll let you know when I have more information. See you soon and thanks again!

Hi, I had similar problems with my 2006 Ford Focus. I have little experience with cars, so I took the problem to my garage. They found that my cable connections were faulty. After they repaired them for 155 euros, the car ran perfectly again. Have you read out a fault code yet? If so, could you share it here? It would help me to share more details and possible solutions. Sometimes it's minor issues that can have a big impact.
