Not all diesels require additives like Adblue for NOx control.

True, though they will use EGR for certain.

Hi All,

I hope someone on here may be able to help me on this one. I have an intermittent issue on my Mondeo 2.0 Diesel. (2012).

Intermittently when driving the car will feel sluggish and the revs will feel irregular. When this occurs and the car is not moving the fuel usage runs at 0.5Gal / hr. Usually when stationary with engine running the car shows usage of 0.1Gal / hour so something is causing the car to drink fuel at a rate of five times the usual. Also when this occurs the car smells warm/hot a bit like burning rubber.

This has been doing this on and off for a few months now but is getting more regular. Usually if I am driving a distance this passes or usually stops after the car has been stopped and idle for 10 minutes or so.

No warning lamps come up on the dash so I am at a loss. If anyone has any ideas where I can start I would be most grateful.

Thanks
DD

As has been said its in Re-Gen and once there keep driving, often a pain I know but you really need to let it complete its job, if not it will simply try again when you next run the engine.

My experience is with GM vehicles.
Check engine oil level. (often)

Trip meter set to 0 once a regen had finished.
You get to know the sound of when it starts so keep going over 40mph (if you can) in a lower gear so the revs are over 2k, once its finished note your trip mileage and reset to 0.
Mine used to start around 500 mls every time so I was ready for it.

Shorter journeys by any chance?!
Defo a regen, ideally keep the car moving.
I wouldnt say theres a fault (yet) so if this happens again try and keep driving and keep the revs as near as possible to 2.5k revs
My saab often regens as I come of the motorway (I do motorway driving everyday) so I keep the revs the same, even through town and it will stop as it should

Everytime you force it to stop when it shouldn't its blocking the dpf that little but more
