Excellent! slightly weird intro, informative content, a successful fix and a few laughs. Keep up the good work guys! 👍🏼

Legend! Another well explained troubleshoot. You helped me diagnose 2 faulty injectors on my Kuga 2 years ago which caused several limp homes and a cut out on motorway. Saved a bomb repairing myself and never missed a beat since! Thanks Alan 👍

I had an old ford escort diesel 1.8 non turbo about 1997 it never stopped smoking.white smoke all The time i had the car 2 years.never stopped smoking white smoke .now I know about diesel pressure and dripping leaking injectors I thought someone had fitted the pump belt a notch out something like that.would have been easy to fix but I never figured what it was.i wasent very clued up with diesels in those days.i could have gone in a scrap yard and nicked 4 injectors.but thanks you solved a 25 year old problem I had.at the time I couldn't find an answer without paying out big money..ive learnt a lot more since then.i always found screwing out diesel injectors and putting them back caused them to leak through the body.but thanks for this.very helpfull my daughter had that similar diesel car.the dual mass flywheel was rattling and we couldent be bothered fixing it.your a lot cleverer than me.

Hi Alan congratulations on reaching 32,700 subscribers and you will soon be at 33,000 subscribers and well done for all your continued hard work as always

Very funny intro with Monika , had me laughing my socks off, great technical info , you are a smoking wizard !

Reasonably good video Alan in connection with the others regarding injector removal/replacing. My diesel Mondeo is at the 234k mark and had same symptoms only lighter. Was on top of the problem, removed the injectors, gave them a good clean, refitted, problem gone for now. Second time now in about 4-5years when I have removed the injectors. The amount of gunk was considerable but nothing we can not overcome. Great videos, thanks man

Great info as always Alan, Nice to see Monica as well.

Speaking of the leaking coolant hose mine's been slowly leaking for a while at the same spot (mine's a mk4 2.3 though) and already got the spare but haven't got round to fit it... reminds me to change it before it's too late! And for the air con pump I would say it's not too bad in this case - in Hong Kong where the air con sees over 8 months of usage per year we have bad stories where a failing pump internal brings down the air con radiator and the expansion valve... Keep up the good work and look forward to the next video!

Hi thanks two very interested proplem's fixed look forward to your next video. Best wishes

Thanks Alan I’m going to check my mk4 mondeo injections now for the number 5 . Car runs spot on but it’s always good to know 👍

Hope you and the family have had a good weekend

Yeeeesss moni.. Fantastic trainspotting monologue. 10/10 💯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great vid! Funny intro!! I had the same smokie problems with my own Astra. Only changed one injector £££ then used premium diesel for about four fills, which cleared up the others. Yes I'm cheap!

I had a MK3 Mondeo 2 litre diesel that did that; difficult start, lots of smoke, but spot on when warmed up. Main dealer reprogrammed the injectors, which reduced the smoke by 60% and turned the fuel system fault light out, but warned that if the light came back on I'd probably need new injectors...

Loved the video Alan I got to admit I love the high spec fords and being an owner of a 2.0tdci mk4.5 titanium x sport there really good cars

great to c u again Alan good vid mate

Allen I love the screw driver trick sound are can be very hard to find great video mate Phil in stoke

Alan, thanks for another great video.

Thank you for a very informative video. The intro is funny and art or poetry. The infos on diesel and mk3 crash and ac pump are really interesting. Wonder if it is possible to leave out the ac by using a shorter auxiliary cable and then rip of whole ac out of the car.

Well done sherlock , very informative video

Good work and video as always, I remember I had Peugeot 2.0 TD some years ago, it used to be like that, I changed fuel filter and glow plugs and it was still a Rat Bag on a cold start, I think looking back I bet it was injectors at fault, it was clouds and clouds of smoke and incredibly difficult to start from cold.

Great video Alan thanks for sharing 👍

first time here and really enjoyed it, yeah thanks.

Great info as always my pal.

Re using a screwdriver to hear bad bearings etc, cut the bottom off a 4 pint jug, stick the other end over the screwdriver handle and u have a perfect listening device. Btw 110k for a diesel in 12 years suggests low use, and this seems to be the killer for most Diesel engines particularly glow plugs and injectors as well as the emission gubbins. Great vid as ever 👍

Ive got the petrol 20ltr auto sport that will need an auto box service soon , dsg !!!!! Great content alan .......👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great video as usual !

Great stuff!! Alan Thanks all the best.

boy and a half.. top man alan

Thanks Alan. I've got this exact problem with the s max that I'm selling. Leak off values were perfect but correction values on the graph with live data are all over the place on start up so I guess i've got to bite the bullet and get a set of injectors.

Interesting video ! I have a 2.0 tdci mondeo, and mine is always smoking on hard acceleration, same colour as this one. no error codes, EGR changed, no boost leaks.... I'll have a look at the injectors, I didn't know that they would be wet if they were leaking, seems like a smart assumption when you put it like that 😂😂

oooh nice shots with the new camera

I have been using a screwdriver like that since 1966. No code readers then!. Very useful stuff there as I run a Mk 3 Duratec HE. Mine is fine but you need to be careful as it is 17 years old.

Good job Alan👌👍🙂

Hahaha I liked that "see ya" as you threw the compressor.

Just to share my experience for the same: white smoke, very rough idle, knocking sound, car not driveable. No errors whatsoever. I suspected the injectors, but after testing them on a stand, they were OK. Replaced also the pressure regulator on the injectors ramp. After almost 2 months, I've reset the injection learned values and went on a trip (accelerating and decelerating for around 15 km). Out of nowhere, the smoke went away and all was back to normal. A year has passed since then. Hence, if you are not sure of the deffect, try this one as well, before spending more money.

Would love to see u driving a ford RAPTOR hubby..someday☺️☺️ " focus on goal, not on the obstacles ! Loving u 😘

Loving the Trainspotting reference

Thanks Alan, my Mk6 transit is doing just that.

very informative vid. Thanks. 😀

Had to beat a great mechanic Alan legend thanks for making all the videos 😊

Had a similar experience on a vauxhall Vectra 2 litre DTI. Glow plugs were ok but glow plug light used to go out almost immediately in the winter. Replaced sensor still no change so fitted a resistor to fool software into thinking it was cold.problrm fixed but still smoked on start up but ok for rest of day so would suspect leaky injectors.never fixed it as injectors were fitted under the camshaft.

You should try and change glow plugs on the Volvo's that have these engines. The bulkhead gets in the way of the egr cooler and egr. Pig of a job to do. Looks like the mk4 mondeo has a lot more room. I'm now in the mk3 mondeo so even better for me.

Diesel cleaner before winter can save a lot of time and money if you put it in the tank. In the winter diesel cars are starting to make problems and in summer day's they are working better. So cleaning is all you need.

my 3008 2.0 hdi was running like a pig and smelling. I tightened the claws down on the injectors as they seemed a bit loose. 17,000 miles later its still bang on

They actually sell special "car stethoscopes" to aid in car diagnostics. It doesn't differ much from a long screw driver in function but looks more professional and possibly costs less (about EUR 20).

Alan have mk 4 2011 model Mondeo have used premium diesel since I bought it with 110K .It is now showing 151K going great "touch wood".

Great intro 😂👍

Nice drone footage.

I had a 2012 1.6 titanium Mondeo. I had real problems with the fuel filter getting gumed up through winter. I would have to change them 2 times to get though winter. I don't know how true it was. But apparently it was down to the Very fine filters they use on the 1.6 which ment that in colder weather the fuel would start to leave wax deposit in the filter

You can also buy an injector tester as well I saw it on another video

The Mondeo with the injector problem would be a nice motor for you Alan as an upgrade from the Merc Vito...

My work van is a 2012 Transit and i've stuck 200,000 miles on it. It dont smoke and still returns 31mpg. It also dont burn oil and dont leak it either. I've had it serviced every 20,000 miles from new and admit to looking after it better than others would. Flip to identical Transit in depot with half as many miles...thing is a complete shed due to not looked after.

I don't replace the injector washers. A good clean, heat to red hot and allow to cool, then a wipe on each face with a fine file. Back in the hole. I have more issues with the fuel fittings leaking than the injector/head seals.

My Fiat van has the same engine and same problems, pretty sure it’s the injectors - looking forward to changing them.

Alan nice see you try help us watching you having fun in Ur videos also have you new car now Ur van gone

Hey, just stumbled across your channel and subscribed. At the start of this video I thought hey that place looks familiar…..😂 no other place than Steve’s car sales! 😮 I was searching for an issue similar but this car won’t start when it does try it’s running lumpy for about 3 seconds with smoke coming from back of engine…. Have no idea what to do first as we put one of those sealey obd on which threw up p0299

MK3.. Are the lower engine/gearbox roll mounts wearing on the rentals? Allowing the engine to rock back and forth putting stress on the hoses?

Nice video mate, my 1.6 hdi smokes quite a bit when the engine warms up could it be the injectors?

Thank you again!

could you do some videos on the Mk3 focus? got one myself so it could be interresting

Do you think leaking injectors by themselves can stop the car starting when its really cold. Ive had similar problem for 7 years but today was first time i drained the battery trying to start it. Once i charged it i got it started pretty easy. I changed the glow plugs and relay about 6 years ago but it didnt help. Thanks. Edit after manually heating glow plugs for 3s it started straight away and ran sweet as a nut so it wasnt injectors on mine.

Oh and somebody's got a drone nice nice

Injectors,,had a 61 plate with EXACTLY the same problem. A bottle of stp deisel injector cleaner sorted it. They messed about with the injectors on that year.

Hey Alan what do you think of a 2017 Mondeo 2.0 tdci powershift 175k. Thinking of buying to taxi in?

Hellou from Finland! i have 2012 mk4 2.0tdci mondeo as well. And was these injectors 175£ each or all four of them? Ps. You videous are so good and all of the diagnostics are expleined so good that stupid like me understand what the hhell is going on.😄

Have you ever struck one of these engines stalling when cold (no smoke) and a general lack of power?

Ah yes the the legendary euro 6 Ford!

Just to say my mk4 same engine has 3 failed glow plugs. It starts and runs perfectly so I've left it because it seems a pig of a job. No black smoke on start. It's done 186000 on original injectors and clutch. It does however enjoy a bottle of redex every few months. Sorted all the hesitancy that often gets reported with these engines.

I had a 2.0 TDCI, same age 75k miles with a seriously jerky automatic gearbox

Ты лучший, человек мондео

I do wish you were near me! Do you get customers coming to you because they watch the channel?

My S-max smokes greyish sometimes when downshifting hard,esecially to second gear and sometimes when moving from a completely stop, starts and runs normal, only error is on the O2 sensor, bank1 sensor 1, really hope that is the reason 😢

Do these МК4 injector carry on prophylaxis with the addition of Pro-Tec-CRDSC, because I used it once?

I've lived with this issue for 2 years spenr 1000s on educated guesses excellent, is this the same with smax same engine with key start

I've a 60 plate Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi with the euro 4 engine that white smokes when warmed up! I changed glow plugs, dpf, egr and injector's! It's still the same. White, sweet smelling smoke after the engine has warmed up!!

Ive got the 2.0 t petrol titainium x sport i love mine

sir did the egr fault goes away after you replace the 3 glow plugs, im waiting for the parts to replace mine, i got 3 busted glow plugs and a egr fault code p2141, hoping the egr fault goes away after i replace the glow plugs

I could really do with booking my car in to your garage my car has been to the garage 5 times had a new dpf new vapour new temp valve with re gen done but still after a few days keeps bringing the engine malfunction and white smoke coming out I feel I’m just getting fobbed off with the garage saying I think it’s this please can you help I love this car

I've got exactly the same problem on a focus. Replaced egr like yourself and no fix. Gonna check the injectors soon

how much for the 4 injectors without seals

Did you not try running some injector cleaner through the system ?

I have a kuga 2009 titanium with the same 2.0 tdci engine I just started to get the same issues that u we’re getting and it blows black smoke on hard acceleration runs bit lumpy do you think it’s my injectors and another issue if u can help is when the car is stationary and turn the steering wheel it make a rubbing squeak noise any ideas please and do these engines make a whistle noise when u rev the engine’s when stationary

Morning Alan its Mark Nucita you sorted my tracking mk4 black Mondeo mk4 2011 Got a strange one yellow warning engine malfunction Rac checked it port dead for dianostic tried 3 scanners can you help if i dont get it sorted fuses are ok not blown Port dosent look damaged Regards Mark Ps not going in to limp mode ?

THANKIOU

hello...I have a question...I have a Ford.mondwo.mk4 2012 2.0 diesel 140hp....I have a problem with.the car for some time I have had a vibration in the car...the car vibrates and when I'm sitting still and in charge...I noticed that on the rev range of 1500-2000 revolutions it makes that vibration...and it's as if from the left (passenger) side you can feel the vibration...from below... if you have encountered this problem before....thanks

What size blanking plate for the EGR please mate

I'm surprised that you don't replace the bearing in it just so you have a spare

How is the taxi business going now that we are out of lock down

Hi. Thanks you for sharing your experience. One question, what would happen to the engine if you don't replace the leaking injectors? Thanks in advance

Same problem with my S-Max. Have stripped the injectors and cleaned them in a sonic bath. Putting it back together just now...

May I ask what was the milage on the Mondao.

Please please please can you give me the name of the company you sent your Mondeo engine ecu off to repair ? - I’ve got a nightmare low fuel pressure problem intermittent car ?

alan there is a few of us that own a focus mk2 2.0 derv , brill motor, and lighter and stronger than a mondeo

Where did you find that injectors at 180 pounds? :o

Changed glow plugs wots injector is 3 2011 citroen dispatch 2.0hdi

Trainspotting - classic film

So valve sealing are weak as well... I had to replace engine in my 2.2TDCI due to injector failure. Now in new engine I have constantly problem with injector washers leaking.

Hey I'm looking for another body shell for my 2.0 petrol engine with gearbox, that 06 you show at the end of this video looks like a likely candidate would you consider selling it to me please contact me for further info as I have a 2004 54 reg that has a bloody good petrol engine but crap body shell

Hi Sir good day that engine is similar to Ford fucos tdci power shift transmission.is this timing belt or chain?
