| The 1.9 TDI is a Volkswagon engine. Maybe you could look around some of the VW forums, see what you can find out. This engine is used across a huge number of VW group platforms and generally has a reputation for being very robust.
Try to find a Diesel specialist in your area rather than the Ford dealer. They could give you a better appraisal, and if they know of any historic concerns they will advise you, which will help in your battle with Ford.
If you contact the Ford hotline and make enough noise there is a good chance you will get money off the bill. If you find evidence that this is a common concern, and again make lots of noise, Ford 'may' fix the vehicle free of charge, even though it is out of warranty. I speak from experience.
