Problems with Ford Mondeo 2018: check engine light, loss of power and jerking during acceleration
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Ford Mondeo is experiencing issues with the check engine light, power loss, unsteady engine running, and jerking during acceleration. The problem might be related to a restriction in the boost pressure control function, possibly due to a defective wastegate valve actuator. It is suggested to have the actuator checked at a garage and to seek multiple opinions and cost estimates from different workshops.

Hey, thanks for your reply. I last did my inspection at 112292 km, but since then there has been no noticeable work on the engine. I haven't noticed any unusual noises either, just the juddering and loss of power. The defective wastegate valve actuator could well be the cause, I will have it checked at my garage. I'm glad you shared your experience with me, I hope it won't be that expensive.

Hey, no problemo. Your problem sounds a lot like what I had. The wastegate valve actuator would definitely fit those symptoms. I really hope for your sake that it won't be that expensive. But the total cost always depends on the workshop and other factors, such as whether you bring the spare part yourself or get it from the workshop. I would definitely advise you to contact a few other garages for a second opinion and cost estimates. You could also consider whether you have a friend who knows a bit about cars and could help you look at the problem. I hope I've been able to help you a little! Take good care of your Ford, they are really great cars. If you have any further questions, please let me know. All the best and happy new year!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2016 Ford Focus, I'm not a master car mechanic but I know a bit about it. In my workshop it turned out that the wastegate valve actuator was defective. The repair cost me 1820 euros. To be able to help you more accurately, it would be helpful to know if your car is making any unusual noises or if there were any other symptoms before the problem occurred. Have you had any work done on the engine recently? We could then better narrow down what the problem might be.
