Annoying noise

Ford Mondeo 2004  140000 miles
My Mondeo Futura 2.0 tdci 2004 has a quite strange noise. Only when shifting down, a sharp and piercing sound is heard. What might it be? Thanks.

More precisely, I've noticed that it is when clutching, without gearing, that the noise appears.

It is the thrust bearing that is failing. To solve it you need to remove the gearbox. Good luck.

Idle speed noise

Ford Mondeo 2004
All the Mondeos I know have an idle speed noise caused by the timing belt. The crankshaft pulley, belts and tensor have been replaced but the failure remains. If anyone has found a solution to this annoying noise, please let me know.

The noise is caused by the timing belt tension and, apparently, the only solution is to replace the whole tensor, timing belt and crankshaft pulley. However, I recommend you to try replacing the alternator pulley that comes with the vehicle, a fixed one, for a movable pulley, which is the one most of the cars have. You can install, for example, the Renault laguna 2 pulley and nothing else will need to be changed. Hope you can solve your problem.

Overheating

Ford Mondeo 2015 Estate 120000 miles
Have a Ford Mondeo X-Pack Estate, 2015 plate. Started overheating today as soon as I go over 40m/h. Engin coolant levels appeared to be in order. Stopped vehicle, kept motor running, waited for motor to cool down. Could hear fan running, but also heard weird clicking sounds for a few seconds. While motor running continued to unscrew cap on reservoir and all the flued just flushed away to its lowest level. Filled reservoir back up with engin coolant to fill line. Continued my journey, but vehicle kept overheating, but not as much as prior to continuation of my journey. Any ideas from somebody that might have had a similar experience or somebody that has the expertise. Much appreciated in advance.

Noise when turning the steering wheel at low speeds

Ford Mondeo 2002  200000 miles
After a bodywork and paint repair, the front left tire started making a strange noise when turning the steering wheel. The noise is even more clearly heard at low speeds; it is a cyclic and repetitive sound.

I had a similar problem with a Ford 2007 and the solution was to replace the steering pump.

Stalls

Ford Mondeo 2003  170000 miles
After a major repair, the car was left wonderful, with a good idle speed sound. But its problem now is that, when accelerating deeply, the heater failure indicator turns on and the car stalls. The scanner only detects that there is a lack of pressure in the gas-oil circuit.

I have a Mondeotdci and the heator failure indicator turned on as well and the car stalled. The problem was the crankshaft sensor.

Tire strap failure

Ford Mondeo 2004
The last two years, my car has been having problems with the fuel pump. But the worst thing that happened to me was that, when driving at low speed, a strong noise was suddenly heard as if something had broken down. When checking it, I noticed that the rear left tire was not in its right position, but moved backwards, because the strap that keeps the tire well positioned had broken down. I do not want to imagine what might have happened if this occurred to me when driving at high speeds.
