Just been perusing the Ford Mondeo Owners Club (yes there is one)
forums.
Apparently I can modchip my 2L TDCi 130 and get over 155BHP with no
other mods or 175BHP with a little messing. The 2.2L 155BHP can be
taken to oevr 220, thrashing a Mondeo ST220 because of the higher
torque.
They already come with 244ft/lb torque and it doesn't half haul arse up
the local 1 in 6 hill already so I hate to think what it'd be if I
chipped it. They're designed to overboost by 10%% on short acceleration
stints such as overtaking so it's given the wifes' 180BHP FTO a run for
its money.
And despite "Testing the vehicles' capabilities", the trip meter shows
50MPG on a 85 mile run.

TD ? Turbo weasel?
Does this have the same black-smogcloud problem as the other TD badge-
Jags when you clog it, especially when you've fiddled with the chip?

Could that be because they bought it in from the masters of diesel
design [1], by any chance?
[1] PSA group.

The Germans do diesel better - BMW power, Mercedes refinement, VW economy.

agreed! my fave diesel has to be a BM or a Merc. the BM 3 litre is wicked
and the merc 3.2 is nice too!
although i still love the volvo D5 also for a cheaper alternative.
VW's 1.9 is only fun in a golf i find.

Except that they didn't.
The 2.0/2.2 TDCI in the 2001-2007 Mondeo is entirely designed by Ford.
It's not at all related to the 2.0/2.2 engine found in later Ford
models, PSA passenger models and Land Rover models.

Merc refinement is *very* good. I take it though that you've never
driven something powered by the Ford Lion V6/V8 engine (particularly
the XJ or Range Rover). It beats the Merc units (albeit only slightly)
on refinement.
