I believe I've watched every single video on this channel, and now I also find myself going: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! ... and I don't even own a Ford

That Peugeot/Citroen engine is very good and fast too, Love to see a clean workshop.

Old school mechanic, good to watch.

Glass in eye's Alan,very painfull to extract,you lucky lad.

I like your style of .presentation. I don't understand a diesel motor but I have enjoyed watching you work

cup o coffee , feet up and brand new video , cheers Alan 🤟

I did my trailing arm bushes on my mk4 with the help of your video. I fitted powerflex instead of ford ones 👍 massive thanks, John

I do like your videos, I have been repairing my own cars since I started driving in the '50s and they have got progressively more difficult until the modern stuff like that Mondeo engine is ridiculous. I looked at your Ford/Citroen cambelt change and although you had it out of the car, it still looks doable. I have two C5's with that engines which are coming up due for replacement belts. I have done several XUD and 8 valve Hdi belts so with your help I think I should be able to manage these. I changed the thermostat/ housing on one of them, that was a pig of a job. You have a very good way of explaining things. Thanks.

Multi layer head gaskets work great when there is dissimilar metals like aluminum heads on a cast iron block. They allow for different expansion rates without blowing a head gasket

Thirty three 8mm - nightmare. They really make it difficult on modern engines. Harley Davidson vids worth watching as they make them hard to work on and wrong! Great video Thanks Alan :-)

Years ago my Dad kept driving his van after the oil light came on, probably a week or so until the engine seized, it got so hot it welded one of the shells to a con rod!

200000 miles before mechanical engine failure is still impressive engine looked in decent condition except for the oil pump not many expensive German cars get that far

Hi Allan, thanks for your videos. I have the same engine in my Citroen Picasso 2015 and video have been most helpful. Big hello to you from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

Impressed by your knowledge on these mondeos

Hi Alan, great video (just over 49 minutes) quite enjoying that one. Sorry you didn't have the damage you was looking forward to. Look forward to the next video,

The headgaskets on that engine are all different depending on the tolerance of the machining. I work at Ford and built them for over 5 years

a mobile mechanic fitted a 2nd hand 2L diesel in my sons mk5 golf. new oil etc, started, and seized on tickover! One big end shell was dry.

Very similar design to my Alfa 159 2.0 16v jtdm engine, same piston design, cams join by chain but run off belt, same rockers and tappets too. And as said not really designed to take head off. Good video

When the oil light comes on it can be covered with a sandwich packet or similar 😂🤣😂🤣

Thanks alan for this video. While it may have been boring for some. Im currently looking to buy a MK5 here in australia, and watching a lot of your videos, you give out honest feedback on what to watch out for with these cars, which has been a huge help for me to understand what to expect to replace with a high mileage MK5. So thank you

Wow!I could be wrong but why driver kept the engine running as I believe there was the oil pressure light on after the oil pump chain snapped off.?!!!!

Thankfully engine blow-ups are very rare these days, unlike thirty or forty years ago, but of course they still happen. The complexity of modern engines makes a write-off quite likely in terms of uneconomic repair. Car only worth a few grand and garage labour costs for several days work plus expensive parts means you might as well scrap the vehicle. All a bit different to when I worked on cars in the 70s and you could get a full or short rebuilt Ford or BMC engine for a fraction of the value of the car and you could usually get the job done in a day sometimes two at the most. Labour nowhere near as high as it is now - £80 to £150+ per hour depending where you go - independant or main dealer. Nice video, enjoyed it very much.

Another nice episode thanks, Alan. I have a Mk4 Mondeo, your episode on changing the rear radius arm bushes was perfect, took me a day to do them, could only get the car on axle stands!

Keep the content coming mate, your channel is easily worth 100k subs anytime soon.

how many miles? apologies if I missed it in the video. Had the oil pump chain fail on a vag 1.4TDI . Was ticking when i drove it to skoda. They snapped it in the garage, during assessment. Didn't seize due to oil flow , but the chain was in bits. Naturally no good will from them. sold as non runner. Have a 1.6 Tdci focus, 180k wonder if the clock is ticking. Always thought the 2l tdci bullet proof.

Alan is a legend. Favourite KZfaq presenter 🎉

Hi Alan. Great video 👍🏻 Love you tormenting Monica 🤣 Hope things are picking up for you. So until the next time see ya 🤣🤣

Great video , I've started doing my own repairs off your video's. keep up the good work Alan. 👍

Hello Alan, thank you very much for your videos, they are informative and well entertaining ! did you randomly pulled pistons of this ford/psa t7cl engine out ? or do you know do the pistons have teflon coating on it ? Thank you very much

That's one of those two stage pumps, there should be a sprung mechanism that pushes the impeller housing off centre to increase the displacement at higher revs. The VAG diesel in my car uses a similar setup with a high rpm mode that kicks in at 3k. By the looks of the wear on the vanes that pump was called to run in the high rev mode quite frequently lol.

*Wow what a huge views in just some days. It is always hard for me to have this kind of numbers. But ok, you have always a content so nothing to question. Great tutorial and great vid Bruce Willis. Take care always you two lovebirds and thumbs up. Full view.*

I'm looking this on Sunday, i can definitely tell you in Hungary, this engine would go to work on Monday if the shop had the spare parts needed to bodge repair it. Low mileage from an old lady, clean service records.

Hi Alan another excellent video again as always and it’s very interesting well done

I've commented as i've watched this ,i've been out of the trade for a long time and i'm amazed at the plastic parts i.e sump and tensioners and other parts are these cheap to replace .

Alan have you ever filmed a timing belt replacement on a 2010 focus 1.6 tdci , cheers Graham

Thanks Alan. So it was the oil pump vanes with their increasing rocking motion gradually beginning to act as a wedge. I may have this likely hood on my Mk 4 !?.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask a question but does this engine have a drain plug somewhere in the block to drain the coolant? I’ve got the one with bi-turbo (207 bhp) and want to flush the whole system.

Really interesting.Thanks Alan.

I like the Diesel engines from the 30's to the 60's ! So much better to work on.The metal was solid and did not flap-about either. Gardner,AEC,Dennis,Ford,Cummins,Caterpillar,Kumatsu,TEREX twostroke's,Avelingbarford's had nice motors can't remember what they had but probably Rolls Royce ? Long time ago.The Russian stuff had decent motors but the qualaty of the copper pipes and such like was very poor.Burmeister Wayne ships motors were fantastic good quality wonder what they are like today?Even the little Petter Diesels were super ! ROOTS made Twostroke Diesels with their own made SUPERCHARGERS (They weren't Turbo they were like SHORRECKS haveing a twin worm screw system also very good too ! So much more but my memory fails me at the moment.OH! Leyland Diesels were nice to work on and ran very well,bedfords were good but drivers abused them a lot and gave them a poorer reputation but with care were good.Scammel and Thornycroft had a mix of motors some had Gardners and these used no washers but had split pins on the mains and Big end Bolts !!!!!!!! Lovely motors.England should be proud to have built such wonderfull Engines OF course Burmeister are Danish and also wonderfull engine makers.OH! Well! BE BLESSED,Thought I'd Let you know that England made the best at one time and could again for sure make the best. P.S. Don't forget PERKINS DIESELS they also made fantastic outboard motors for boats ! YES it's true and were super good too.

Is that the 140 hp version? I have a 2 litre diesel 163 hp in my 2014 s max, would like to know if that is the same engine 🤔

Is this much different to the older 2.2, they use the 2.2 in the ford custom van for the 1st couple of years, many have blown up no 3 piston, some people say its a software issue some say its down to an injector problem,, had my software update so hopefully be ok

what is code po2e2 diesel intake air flow a control circuit low is a brake in the wiring or a sensor.cheers bob

Hi Alan, great videos, I have mk5 , 2015 2.0 tdci 150 hp, Im looking for inner left right drive shaft, Can you suggest dealer as you buy on previous videos? Riste Andov

ok so 2 questions. apart from the ancillaries, how much different is the basic engine from that fitted to the mk4? second, have you had any experience with the more modern 1.5 diesels? and if so are they not a little short on power/torque for the Mondeo?

The pump was fine. The chain and sprocket were worn out. Look at the oil pump drive sprocket, the teeth are sharp, because they are worn. The chain tried to climb one extra tooth, and didn't make it. Viola. Chain no stretch, just breaks. Jams, and no oil pressure for long enough to take out that main bearing that looked chewed. IMO. tom

Need help with my 2.0 180ps 171000.. I know its done a few mile now but its been in for repair over 4 times now. 1st time it striped teeth on belt and bust rockers on exhaust side got it repaired and run 1400 mile till it went again but the other times I've had it done I'm only get 50 t 300 mile before breaking again but always breaking the same rockers bearing in mind all timing is still set and new belt is fine new cams and rockers etc and the fuel pump is lined up gone by most of your advice on video on how to time it perfect and all other issues... also when the car did run from buying it its had a hesitation when I'm accelerating from 3rd gear up yet 1st and 2nd feel.. so dunno if u have any other advice you could give pal

I was hoping you would do an autopsy thanks.

Love videos, keep them coming.. longer the better I think.. does the boss man mind u making the videos or does he said as free advertising

Just or your info the dome in the piston is the PCC pre combustion chamber as it is direct injection, older diesel engines with indirect injection had PCC built into the head.

I don't know if you do enough glass to be worth the cost. But the equalizer extractor is like a sawzall with a putty knife on the end and cuts most windshields out in well under a minute.

Very interesting Alan thanks 👍👍

Thanks a lot for the great video!

The crack in the oil pump housing will cause the pump to suck air, losing oil pressure (that's on the Peugeot Boxer).

Hi Alan! could you please provide me with partnumber for the piston rings or tell me where I can find them? thanks

Love it Alan, keep up the video m8

How long has it taken you to build such knowledge on these diesel mondeos

Got a question for you Alan, have you come across a 2 litre diesel starts from cold but doesn't start from hot? With no warning lights on the dash.

Have you ever known the auxiliary belt ne a bit noisy on the 2013 2 0 tdci Engine?

Not at all a boring video. Top work like always. Is the engine oil always this dark in diesel engines?

Great, interesting Video Alan, just for our information, how often do you service these engines and what oil do you use ? Thanks again for the all the work you put into these Videos

Hi Alan, how do you keep track of where each bolt goes when stripping a head down? Sam

There is something very satisfying about finding the fault that caused the problem. What I hate though is the fact you had to do so much dis-assembly to get to that point, so it's obviously not a service item that you would do every couple of years etc

Hi, a question: where is The Intake manifold? Is possibile The clean it? A lot of thanks

I love your Mondeo channel. Is it anyway to review the Mondeo 1.6 tdci . This engine it's very popular and used on lots of different cars.. Cheers

I'd say.. High mileage caused obvious wear to pump chain guide, chains then caught, an that equaled the snap an sieze, cracking the oil pump mount in the process due to basically an instant hydolock effect be it from chain locking it all up, or sheer forces involved at locking point. Oil pressure weren't gonna it, those guides were gonna get there first lol. Had more slack than a hookers door handle that motor, inevitable sadly by looks of it. Brilliant vlogs as always 🍻

another great video Alan

The Timing Chain would oscillate violently at certain Speeds....as it had no tensioner/damper..it would eventually shake itself apart BMC used Hydraulic Dampers 60 years ago..the damper was deployed by a ram filled by the oil Pump.have never seen one of those Chains fail.

A very complicated engine even it is only 4 cyl engine. . Is it possibly in any way to convert a modern petrol engine to an old style carburettor version, without any of the electronic stuff.

Is this the same motor that is in my C5 Citroen 2.2 Diesel .?

are all mk5 Mondeo diesels PSA like mk4 Mondeo? What is difference between mk4 and mk5 Mondeo diesels?

FoMoCo on the engine with the Peugeot logo right underneath. Yeah, I know Peugeot make the ford diesel engines for them, I actually owned one. Great motor, but does ANY manufacturer make any of their own stuff these days?

Hi Alan, how much labour it takes to do that job engine in???? Thanks

Yeah oil pump locked up and broke the chain and the body of the pump but how did it break the chain twice?🤔 Thanks for posting loved watching that, just glad I don't have to take a head of one 🙈😂😂😂

Did the guide block the oil feed and sized the engine

With the wear on the chain tensioner guides (and broken spring on another one if memory serves correctly from a previous vid) and the oil pump you have to suspect a design life of maybe 300k km (186k miles ) ? So basically if you want to take the engine over 200k miles- as was mentioned for this one- then said items have to be considered consumables but do costs stack up? Probably cheaper swapping in another engine.

An oil pressuure gauge on dash will show more than just indicator lamp.

You are funny thanks for the video keep the videos coming

where did the missing parts from the tensioner go

Hi is this the first dpf in the car?

Superb video Alan. Really interesting to see how clean that engine was inside given the mileage. There’s a lot to be said for regular oil changes.

Thank you

Certainly not due to the ongoing Steering Motor Housing Bolt issue. Got a few developments on that. Drop me a line soon and I will bring you up to date. Chris.

How many temperature sensors are on this engine . I know there's 1 at the thermostat housing but is there another 1 on the head or block ?

I had to watch this from behind the sofa!!

I had a straight 6 lorry engine lock up on one big eng journal.Locked up on tick over....

The most important part of the engine, oil pump is worst oil pump i ever seen.

ALAN on a scale of 1 to 10 how reliable is this engine as I have it in my Peugeot 3008 ??

How many miles on the engine ?

Top work! I would have repaired it instead of going for a second hand engine. You never know its history for sure. Or maybe in UK they don.t lie about mileage and overall engine history?

Is it a starfighter nearby your garage?

You wouldn't be doing a head gasket on one of these in a afternoon 😱

What year car was this from, for 200000 miles could be expected. Its when you get engines failing on low mileage is a worry, This guy loves taking things apart, interesting video, please take some more apart.

Hi, I got a challenge for you. I own the same engine just in a volvo S40 2009 2.0D 130hp I am loosing coolant without smoke or leaks real quick if the turbo is working properly. What I did is I disconnect BOOST PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE vacuum line causing the engine didto lose a ton of power as turbo does not kick in as hard but the coolant is then only lost at tiny amounts - can do like a thousand or more miles before I need like 500ml, Head gasket kaput or some other issue? Sealer liquids did not help.

I love to watch your video

Smokes, lets go hahaha what an elite reference!!

Seems like to prevent mass carnage it might be wise at 200K to change the chain tensioner. Also, what service intervals do you use to change the oil? If its the ford 18K miles I'd say that is too long. I'll be having mine done every 12K. If it had an oil feed problem it will have not done the turbo bearings any good either. This all sounds like the issues BMW and VW had with their main chains with the extended service intervals.

Hi have you come across engine code p2599-00 turbocharger boost control position sensor “A” performance stick - high. On a mk5 15 plate?

How often you change oil in those engines?

Hi can you do some work on my Volvo 2.0 diesel 136?

Is it worth changing the oil pumps at 200K on these then?
