Possible engine damage?

Hi, my engine is suddenly running very rough, when starting, while driving, and when stationary. I drive a Ford Mondeo Mk3 ST220, V6, 226hp, built in 2003 and with just under 270,000km on the clock.

-When accelerating it sounds like it is drawing air from somewhere and it also responds to the accelerator a little more slowly.

-When stationary, the engine speed is between 700-1200 and it jerks

-When driving you can hear a grinding or pulling of unwanted air, but you can't clearly define it.

-When braking, even with the clutch depressed, the engine turns off.

Before I started experiencing these "symptoms," the engine also took longer to start. The engine had already warmed up by the time I started it again.

These older lunar eos have problems with the OT-mountain (then it comes to the starting problems described by you and unround running, as it may be that the lunar eagle will start only the second time). But it is also only a guess in the direction of a vulnerability of the Mk3-Mondeo series and its gasoline. In the end, it should be best to find a workshop for diagnosis.

You hear the engine’s moving somewhere. Consequently, a hose is leaky. Why don’t you find the place?

I can only guess and that won’t help you.

Take the tube to the workshop.

If the car has been driven and cared for, it has just arrived at 270 Tkm and hasn’t been on the way for a long time.

Hello,

is he running on all cylinders? Is an error message displayed? I’d have a diagnostic device. In any case, I wouldn’t drive around.
