Saw the taxi by the side of the road - somehow knew there might be a video on it 😅

Take a bow. Well diagnosed. The car is now in good running order. A treat to watch.

Throw less parts clean before dismantle calm down. Your the best!!!!

That’s brilliant that started for you well done for all your hard work on the cars and the same for the videos as well

Hats off! This man is amazing. Thank you Mr Howatt! I start wonder if the taxi drivers should be obliged to carry with them a fault code scanner to make repairs easier. Or for that matter, all the car drivers should be...

These are by far the best videos I have seen. It's good to know, and make an ideea, about what could go wrong with them.It did help me with my mondeo m4.5 ( facelift ). Keep on doing them! Cheers!

Allen You are the man just fantastic you always know how to find these faultsgreat entertainment we want more please nate we miss ur videos your the best Phil in stoke

You doing the best videos for mk5 ever .great job knows exactly what is going on this mk5 through out.i know a bit more what to expect from my monde mk5

I learn so much about a car i will never ever ever ever ever own or allow in my shop

Hi Alan,, another great video,,, good bit of detective work, look forward to your next video.

I decided to buy a mondeo because of your suporting videos!

Really appreciate your efforts in making these videos, keep em coming.

Thanks a lot Alan for quick reply you know your stuff.

Well done for doing the cambelt and water pump you don’t want that to slap

Another great video Alan I'm amazed at much in in the engine bay of these 2.0 l diesels there's not an inch of room it must be a pain having to remove loads of other parts to get to the part you need anyway keep up the good work

Well done! This happened on my 2.0l Kuga with just 28000 on the clock :(

Well done again Al great knowledge mate and spot on diagnosis

Great job Alan on the Mondeo pump

Oh my god those disks !!! Great video as ever :-)

Hi 👋🏻 Alan. Hope your ok matey 🤣Great video as always 😀 Love the humour with added technical advice is brilliant 🤩 This is what’s fantastic about your channel 😆 Cheers Stevie 😎

Love watching your videos, I have a ford smax 2016, I find your content very helpful.

Tbf, if your first thought of a breakdown is a cambelt snapping, then the engine must be pretty reliable

Excellent video! Saving that old engine definitely a bonus! And no Mrs Monika today ?

Excellent work, well done Alan.

deserves a like and a comment just for entertainment factor!

What a ballache,I still like the look of the Mk5,but don't think I'll ever buy one. I'm just hoping my Mk4 will last another couple of years. 😉

Another brilliant video Alan, thanks mate, keep up the good work 💪

Excellent job done Alan .

Another brilliant video as again as always

you are a good specialist, sorry that it is not in Belgium)

Great job Alan, I learn so many things watching you work! "Won't break down without a good reason" - well, I must be the most jinxed Mondeo owner, my 210 ps diesel just shaved the timing belt at ~ 65000 miles. It cost me ~2200 pounds to have it repaired (62500 miles warranty expired just few weeks ago), and Ford only agreed to pay 220 pounds to "help" me. They changed both camshafts, timing chain, timing tensioner, fuel pump, well, timing belt kit, everything they saw connected there, but they didn't find the real reason for it. I guess I swore too much, because the belt snapped again after just 600 miles. Ok, what?!?! Now they did it on their warranty. After less than 100 miles, my car suddenly stopped while climbing a not so step slope, with some fuel pressure error. It refused to start again, I was just talking with a trailer owner, when I just tried one more time, and miracle, I was able to drive my car at the nearest Ford garage for a diagnose, while driving there the car worked like new just because. They changed the fuel filter, and recommended fuel injectors to be changed! Really?!? They weren't even able to tell me what injector was the faulty one, because they don't have a testing stand lol. But hey, why not recommend to change everything? Ok, now I drive my 70k miles Mondeo waiting for some shit to happen again, without a reason, just because my car sucks.

Really worthwhile video, like them all. Thanks.

excellent job alan!!!!....my ford smax 1.8tdci needs clutch replacement, do you have time to do it please?...thank you...

Brilliant, mate. Just goes to show that fixing stuff 'aint just about the text books ! It's geezers like you that can think outside ' the box ' to get to the problem. Excellent ' heads-up ' about the timing marks on the pump... that could easily have caught me out.. ! Question.... Is there an upgrade to the high pressure spring.. ? If it's a ' known ' and an obvious go-to in these situations, then replacing it with it's big brother could avoid future hassle. Keep 'em coming, mate... Spot on.

Thanks for the vids Alan.. You are a power of Knowledge with the Mondeo`s... Top Job.. :-)

Hope you are staying safe and well

Hello Alan, was wondering if you have yet replaced the timing belt on the mondeo ecoboost 1.5 tdi engine ..2018 model. and if so do you have a video please

good fix, thanks for the no nonsense video

I’ve got a 2lt mk5 fitted with the citreon hdi engine. It was booked in for a cam belt but it’s failed early. I’ve been told they are a fail safe head meaning it might not of done valve damage?? Not sure if this is right or not but I do remember doing a c5 hdi that broke a belt and it just broke the rocker arms.

My mk3 Mondeo only done 55k so according to these videos it's got many years left in it👍

Superb info as always.

Looks like mine just took a dump too. Done the filter, now to check the pump. Guess I will find out if it's spring or shaft when I investigate on sunday

Another detailed Mondeo fault-find, well done mate. Keep those shorts for indoors.

Great video again mr Howatt

Love your channel

Great video again Alan

Hi Alan.. My Mk5 2.0 diesel occasionally won't start (A few thousand miles in between...and does start eventually)..The AA guy guesses it might be the 'Fuel Lift Pump', which, by it's name, suggests to me that it's, maybe, in the fuel tank.. Is this something that's accessible to the DIYer, or is it best left to a garage.. Your advice would be appreciated..Many thanks.. John.. Bristol

Good stuff 👍👍👍 With these buggers pinching cars nowadays the way they do. factory fitted security being undermined with these scanner/signal blockers etc. breaking in and stealing keys, is their a way to turn off the pump very easy or something else from the cockpit if a short harness was made? (ideally enough to get them a mile or two from your house before they dump it). I had a rocker switch on an old Metro in the 80s. that was petrol and wired up between the coil and battery and very easy to fit all those years ago.

That's pretty bad for the high pressure pump to go at 102k as there not cheap I'm really not to sure how reliable that 2.0 tdci is in the mk5 I still think the engine in the mk4 is a lot more stronger

Hi Allan me again! Mondeo at 95k cut out, trying to turn over. 1.5 type. Hoping this ain’t the belt.

Great video as always....

Good vid as always thanks Alan

Fantastic video

If my kuga goes saucy I'm Definitely bringing it to you 👍🤣brilliant

Hi Alan, having a similar issue with my 2.2 Diesel S Max, engine is cranking but won't fire. I don't think it's getting fuel. I cracked off the fuel feed pipe to the injector rail and I'm getting no fuel while cranking. Just wondered if you advise locking the sprocket on the cambelt before fitting a new HP pump on that particular engine too? Thanks!

How do I know what clutch kit to get for my mk4 mondeo 2.0 zetec there is two options one for oe ag91 and one not for oe ag91? Please reply

Great video again 👏

top man Alan love these vids

Alan love your videos, but could you suggest what could be wrong if I have a hard cold start? I mean only when it's cold otherwise its fine, could it be heating element gone i don't get any errors.. and when would you change chain on these vehicles? it got timing belt and chain.

Hi My Ford Mondeo mk5 kept showing transmission limited function message on screen for few months now. Today on motorway car downshifted and stall itself and a spanner sign came on dash. I pulled on side. Switched off ignition, started the car after few minutes it was back to normal and spanner sign disappeared. What do you think it could be. Any advice be helpful please. Can I bring it to you to get it checked?

Good Job

thank you Alan, I really appreciate your video. Just one question, have you ever get one that could not start even with brand new fuel pump, with correct time etc?? Here in Australia does not have much information about and I am having trouble to troubleshoot it and the vehicle does not starts. Cam is turning, also in time...but I don't have fuel at high pressure pump and a code about low pressure...In my thoughts I do have Eletronic pump, but is my guess, because so far I do not know for where goes. Thank you so much in advance

Great fix 💯👍

Is it possible just to replace spring unit held by the 3 bolts with one from a spare pump if the spring breaks. This would save replacing the whole pump unit.

Inside the oil filler cap looked VERY black. Good work.

Your a Ford genius 😊👍

You are the best💪💪💪💪💪

Hi Alan I have a Citroen C4 with the same Engine it had the same problem as this we put a brand new fuel pump in and no fuel is coming out from the top I can hear the diesel going in and out but nothing comes out when I crank it does this pump has to be coded to the vehicle or I got a brand new failed pump the cambelt spins also the pinion that makes the pump spin

Probably know the answer before watching to the end had similar on a 2009 galaxy 2.0 HP pump drive flange was spun on the cam and was creating pressure to a degree engine was trying to start but would start spin flange once pump resistance would exceed the friction so will be watching to the end Take care

Hi Alan, are we able to get the shaft only from somewhere? I just have same issue- shaft snapped

He’s back😉

Thank you.

hi there alan i have a 2010 mondeo it cranks over but no fuel pump at the tank i can here the front one going but not the rear i have put in a new filter in rear but no fuel going through ,plz help dash man australia, i have reset comp .

Good job 👏

You are a number 1😊😊😊😊😊

can u get the spring ect part seperatly whitout replecing whole bloody pump ?

Whats the highest milage youve got on your cars there

is there any way to contact you and ask for a fault diagnosis on my Mk5 Mondeo?

I had the same issue car just stop and wouldn't turn bk over so I found ur vid and I followed u step by step and checked my HP fuel pump sping and the shaft everything was fine put all bk together and my car still don't want to turn over any ideas plz thanks in advance

Good morning.I am from Plymouth Devon.Where about are u located?

Alan got a 15 plate mk 5 (taxi) when cold starts and runs great when hot starts but runs like crap (low oil pressure no acceleration) leave it ten mins and runs great again until you turn it off any ideas

Hi Alan good to see you and hope you are staying safe and well and is the taxi business going that we are coming out of lockdown

Good Video

You get some strange ones. Never had one shear a pump on our fleet. Had plenty of pump springs go to a point that I change them out at 80k had plenty of injectors go down usually cylinder 3. Had a few pumps seize up and if the cam is at the right place it will shatter the cam pully

Hi Alan spoke in phone a few days ago,Mk5 Mondeo taxi from Kent,it was the high pressure fuel pump spring,u said there now available to buy I was wondering where from

IMAGINE SPENDING A DAY WITH THEM JEEZ

Sweet video as always, can you do a video on valve clearance/adjustment on a duratec 2.0l pls?

Alan can you tell me the torque settings for the bolt that holds in the injector mate

Hi I just bought a Ford Focus 1.5 tdci 2015 112k on clock and when changing gears 1st 2ed 3rd I’m got a clunking noise it’s very annoying also The car seems to drown when driving 40mph as if it bolking down any thought of this annoying issue plz don’t say dmf…..

Can't believe those Kuga brake discs😨

@ 15:34 someone walks out of shot & disappears into another dimension ! Alien abduction ??

Alans a Efin Genius from mongol raider aka fliki flak 🤘🇬🇧

Hello, can you please explain why the mistake "code P0014 Adjustment of camshafts B: excessive early adjustment (cylinder row 1) " appears even though I changed the sensor. I am German so it might be that the translation of the mistake isn´t correctly.

Woohoo 🇬🇧. Used car salesman Alan. Don’t worry about the smoke 🤣🤣

At 10:40 there’s a wineing noise is that normal because mine dose the same thing

TANKIOU ALANE

my 2012 diesel mondeo has a ticking noise around the same spot,, the ticking speeds up as u rev the car then disappears when u rev too high

Hi Alan i have the same problem on my mk3 mondeo i just started the car and it stayed on for 10 seconds and then it switched off.. and now it doesn't want to start again...what do you think would be the problem?

Something is missing from this video,i wanted to see Miss Monika priming your pump.

Luck you already had a spare pump and you did not have to buy a new one
