Thank you so much (from Norway) for the videos on the Mondeo MK5. I'm using them to resolve my current oil leak and future issues to come on my 2016 Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCI 150 PS (currently 50.000 miles on the clock)

"And when it comes to the modern motor car, sloppiness and oil leaks seem to go hand in hand" - what a brilliant aphorism you made!

Hi Alan. Great video as usual 😁 Great banter with Monica 🤣

Another great video & the comedy is a bonus!! Any job of work can be so much better when you put some FUN into it! Top Man!!!

I really love watching his video ...He has to be the best on line ...Thanks mate you solve many problems for me ...Thanks again

Great vid. As always.

Great content as always always waiting for the next one 😎

Use loctite 574 together with the gasket. It will never leak again!

Great video again 👍

Lol, two subtle (or not) health and safety messages thrown in for good measure. As ever good to see your vids 👍👍👍

Grazie Alan per questo nuovo video!!!👍 Thanks Alan for this new video !!! 👍😅😅😅

Top video mate 👍

class m8 keep them rolling

Brillant video i got 67 mondeo 5500 miles started leaking yesterday 9 june not happy thanks alan

I used ELRING Dirko HT to seal the valve cover of a Mondeo MK1. Works perfectly. I would recommend it for this oil leak also.

Awesome video, subbed right away, funny af as you sled down the ladder gta IV style 😂😂 thanks bud

Learnt so much from you. Dealership wanted 3000 Australian to replace EGR cooler n valve. I did it myself for 400. Valve was ok. EGR cooler radiator core was leaking into cooling system

Thanks Alan, just had this exact problem diagnosed by my local Ford dealer on my 2litre (white flag waving) 16 plate Mondeo. Quoted £450 to replace 5 seals that come to £45 (dealer prices). Bit cheesed off to learn its a common problem, until you said you'd replaced on a low mileage car (mine has less than 25000 miles), but it looks like something I will have to get used to. Cheers mate

Alan your videos are great, learned loads for my mondeo taxis. Recently just put a new mk5 on the road. Any other issues I should watch out for? Clutch easy to change?

Thanks Alan really helpful. I have a 2016 SMax 2.0 Duratorq and after watching this video decided to shine my torch down the engine bay and I can see oil on the top of the gear box. Do you have a high pressure pump removal video you can direct me to please?

Nice video, thanks

Great video Alan Regards to Monica, Moni, Monique,,,, ;-)

Hiya Wat a fab utube channel have U and Monica r fab I do all my own servicing and repairs Had a mondeo 2010 2.0 desiel 140 ran it for 7 year on taxi 312k miles only replaced clutch battery starter and front shocker and no engine malfunction lights mondeos r fab

I'm surprised we haven't had the " Harmonica" jokes yet. You know Our Monica.. lol

You are the Best👍

Hi Allan thanks for another great vid now what would be the cost including labour and vat on that oil fix and how long does it last

Thank you very much!

Hello..Does these parts have a certain installation method for the gears??

Hi Alan. Is the high pressure fuel pump removal easy enough to tackle ? Think my ST Focus is doing this now.

When I worked in Fords Halewood Fords did a joint venture with Peugeot Citroen in developing engines one of many reasons that they are closing Bridgend in South Wales

Does this also apply to the mk4 with PSA 2.2?

I would go are far to sat the bolt pattern on the part Alan needs more bolt’s between the 2 lower bolts and the 2 upper bolt’s to keep a better compression on the gasket . Keep the camera rolling Alan as I’m enjoying the videos.

Could a groove be ma hine out of the pump around that hole then fit a rubber oil seal then tbe new gasket then refit what u think alan

Hi Alan, Just to change the subject a little the 1.8 tdci have you ever had one where the timing belt tensioner pointer just will not go near it just stays at the top it's a brand new ford belt and tensioner and the only way to get the pointer in the middle where it should be is to put a washer between the adjuster wheel and the belt just like the belt is just a little too big?

Hi, is the 2.0 tdci PSA engine from the MK4 Mondeo/s-max the one and the same? I mean, the block probably is, isn't it, but the rest of band?

Hey Alan, I am really starting to enjoy your videos :) and I am serious :) so as for the HPP gasket leak I was wondering if that applies to the MK4 2.0l tdci as well since I've had 3 fords with this engine (galaxy and 2 kugas 2010-2014) and they all seem to leak oil from around this area so I suspect the same problem. If this is the case do you have the part numbers for this gaskets? I believe they are slightly different in shape from the MK5. Thank you in advance and keep up the good videos. Cheers!

Thanks Alan - at 74k miles the 'fuel pump' oil leak has got so bad on my 2.0L Mondie I need to replace the gaskets. Any advice on the torque settings for the 2 gaskets?

Hi alan, what do I have to look out for? I have the problem now with oil ????

How long after replacing the gasket you would expect to see it leaking again or have you found a more permanent fix to the issue? I am considering to buy a Mk5 but to be honest this video has put me off slightly..

hello, mine is the mondeo mk5 2.0 tdci 150cv of the year 2015, it leaks oil from the injection or high pressure pump. I understand that changing the joints solves the problem, right? Or do I have to directly change the pump? Thank you

Alan ..but if you put the gasket parts together with Victor Reinz oil silicon it is not better ? I ask you because as soon i want to made this operation because i have a liitle oil leak arround the case high pressure pump !

small fuel pumps and vacuum pumps are fastened with small bolts and have the property of overheating, sometimes damaging the thread in the engine block or breaking the bolt then a lot of things happen. Proper tightening force is important to prevent grease from escaping and tightening the bolt.

Is there a video of when you removed the oil pump and fuel pump? Also do you think it will be ok if I put some sealant on the gasket to stop it leaking in the future?

You are growing on me Alan, with these videos. Can I ask you the part numbers for the gaskets?

Thank you for the excellent videos, I have a Ford Mondeo 1.5 tdci van from 2017, what problems do the engine usually have?, what preventive maintenance should I do on the engine, thank you, greetings from Portugal..

Alan would be possible to put a little bit of sealant on that part that the oil flows?

My mk2.5 kuga is leaking/burning oil. Has been since I owned it. 3 garages can't find the issue. Help please!

Permatex indian shellac on both side for the win.

Hello Alan, and thank you very much for this video, it is extremely helpful! I was wondering, do you also have a video on that second common oil leak you mentioned, the breather hose?

Where do I get these seals and gaskets got same problem can't find them anywhere help?

How long does it take to replace the gaskets and o ring? My dealer has just told me mines leaking and they want to fit a new fuel pump, they say the oil goes through them..... Over £900 for the pump + 3 hrs labour lol.

Hi Alan. Any chance to tell me how can i fix 1.6 tdci mk5 mondeo oil leak near injectors? Any chance to do it my self or i need a specialist? Thank you.

Great video :) my mondeo mk4 leaks a bit of oil from round the turbo area, do you know if this is common? Is it hard to get to the banjo bolt? Thanks Alan

Nice video, very good information, any chance u have the part numbers handy? I'm about to tackle this job on my 2016 Mk5 that has the standard HPFP oil leak(it also needs the fuel line replaced that goes to the filter head- some numptie has broken the lock tab) as for the mount gasket for the adapter plate for the HP pump i think i will also use locktite 518 on it, I believe this will stop it leaking in the future....lastly does the HP fuel pump require timing ? Or is it simply just bolt it in & away u go?

I recently repaired the rear cuffs. Very interesting cylinder design. Take away any video to replace the repair kit

Hey Alan! Great video" I bought Mondeo kombi Mk5 with the same problem. They replaced seals and also 4 things, I do not know how are they called( a guy showed me a pic of how oil goes around and gets back.. probably gaskets but the problem has not been solved). I found 3 oil spills under the car today. Can you please tell me what should I say to the service guys? I have actually spent a fortune here in Switzerland on that and I am getting restless. The car is more at service than on the road. MANY THANKS :)

Hello! I have the same problem, oil is leaking from the fuel pump, can I work without touching the timing belt?

Alan great video would the 2.2 puma in a mk7 transit have a similar known leak at the back of the engine. Ive got one at the back of the block that looks like could be crank seal but might be from above? Thanks again and great videos.

I'm a bit late here, but I noticed the pump is marked with the logo of Peugeot Citroen and Fomoco. The latter actually being Ford. Several engines in Ford and PSA cars are made in cooperation between those manufacturers...

Constantly moving diesel tech on an engine design that’s been around for years. That drive box looks sooo after the fact but necessary in order to drive the pump correctly. Maybe going down the route of a really good liquid gasket maker might help as that outer hole is so close to the edge and miles from the nearest bolts as is the main hole so the clamping pressure is likely pants and not crushing that gasket properly and definitely not holding that pressure adequately! Reminds of the old mechanical fuel pumps on the CVH that’s soft aluminium would be hammered into a curve by the pushrod over time and the two bolts and gasket weren’t enough to seal it

do you have a video for that rear rocker hose leak?

Always like to see the jumper getting launched across the workshop....maybe aim it into the offices next time😁. Is this an easy job to do Alan do you have to lock the camshaft off before removing the fuel pump?. And is it easy to get fuel back up to the injectors after. Thanks for the upload always like your vids. See ya

This problem also for mk5 2.0 autom gearbox?

Hi Alan, you my man are legend. Great vid, I need to do the intermidiate gear housing leak on my 2016 - 2 litre kuga. Is the principle the same, with just a few hose position differences? Also will I be able to remove top belt cover without removing the engine mount to time up exhaust cam? Regards. Tony

For Alan. Do you know if the 1.5 tdci has the same problem?

easy been doing this for years, cover the gasket in spray paint, then you get a good seal.

Great video - that's good news. The bad news is i run one of this engine (180PS version). The high pressure pump oil leakage is already repared but i still observe some oil consumption. Do you know what is the, let say, normal oil consupmtion for this engine and when I should start to worry about?

Hi Alan, I have the same oil leak issue, can you please give me a Ford parts numbers and a link where find this parts and also a video to do the fix thanks

Hi Alan. I really like your videos. It help me a lot with my car do to a lot of repairs by myself. Today i will retrofit my MK5 with new intercooler from biturbo. But i found that as i know now i have a standard problem with leaking. My local garages don't believe in gasket problem. They want to change almost everything else around and charge me a lot. That is why I bought new gasket and want to try to do it myself. Do i need to remember about something important when i take out the pump to not destroy engine or me (fuel there is under high pressure and i need to reduce the pressure before i unscrew it) ? :) Is there any special position that it has to be fixed ? Or it is very simple i just take it out put new gasket and put together again ? :)

Alan, does the mk4.5 , 163, suffer a similar problem? It's just that I seem to have a leak somewhere at back of the fuel pump. Thank you.

Question. Would hermetite gasket sealent help prevent this oil leak.

Alan, does this problem also occur on automatic gearbox? I am considering buying a mondeo 2016-02 WAG AUT (2.0 TDCI) with 205000 km., dealer maintained. Are there other things I should pay attention to?

I've got some oil sweat on a 2.0 tdci, but a 2012 mk4. It starts a bit lower on the pump side and goes down at the back and could never see where it's from. But watching this, I'm very sure it's around the fuel pump now. It's only just oil sweat, no dripping, so it's safe for now. But is this generally true for the mk4 as well?

its the filter screen inside gets blocked and builds up prsure another one is the vac pump they get blocked and leak. i always change that gasket when doing the the thermostat and clean the gear housing with Isopropyl alcohol and the rinse it out with fresh oil. as you have already stripped halp the parts that are in the way. on another note the mk4 always had the same issue but where a hell of a lot easier to change apart from that stupid fuel temp sensor plug that was always orentated so you couldnt get at the release tang.

Hi Alan! Can you tell me what part number have this gasket because I have the same problem with my car and I don't know how to search in my country because I've tried to search high-pressure pump gasket and I did not find anything

Hi Alan. I’ve got a Ford Galaxy 2.0 diesel, 2016 Have I the same engine as the Mondeo?

Crazy man

Hi Alan i was a Ford parts man for years and they are called part finis codes a wee bit of trivia there, your video is as always informative and entertain with some very nice Monica particularisation, i drive a 2004 ex police transit connect with 52000 miles 1.8 tdci engine its going great do you know of any weaknesses in this van.

yea but is it just on the Diesel ?

Hi Alan, many thanks for replying (your a star 🌟) I upgraded the rear tail lights to the new design and are now all LED - they flash as normal outside its just the green arrow and noise are twice as fast. Any further help would be greatly received. 👍

Does the mk4 suffer from this problem at all? 57 Diesel Duratorq

Hi - thanks for the video it is really helpful. I think I have exactly this issue with my 2018 Kuga 2.0 TDCi. I'm wondering 3 things: 1. Where would you reccomend sourcing the gaskets from and do you happen to have any part numbers for them. 2. Where can you source the O ring from? 3. Have you ever done this on a ford kuga, the fuel pump is a real pain to access and I was wondering if you might have any advice? Thanks

Good!!

Does this Apply on a s-max 2011? Or is that considered a mk4 engine?

Are you planning to do a video of how to remove the high pressure fuel pump? It would be much appreciated if you do!

Add some liquid gasket too!

thats a feature of preventing rust

All French engines find ways to leak oil. I've never seen a dry one. I've got an ancient XN engine in a Talbot that leaks a small amount from a few spots, I've also got a BX with an XUD that leaks pretty badly, and all TU engines will leak from the rocker cover. I've seen them piss oil from the head gasket too when they get very old. I've not come across a Mk3 Mondeo that leaks oil yet. I'm sure they're out there but all the ones I know are dry as a bone. They tend to burn oil rather than leak it.

Hi Alan, please tell me the exact codes or names of the gaskets. I have the same problem and I want to change them. Thank you

Hi Alan, I see lots of comments about using a gasket sealant on the gaskets for the high pressure oil pump. Have you or anyone tried this? I am just about to tackle this job while doing the cam belt. I would be tempted to use blue hylomar heavy. I have used it on many engine parts with great success. Cheers Andy

Is this the same on a 2012 2.0 tdci kuga? Thanks

Hi guys. Sorry for my weak english. I have to point something out, and that is important. These engines (2.0L 150 or 180 HP) are made in cooperation between Ford and PSA. They are not exact te same engines guys. The cylinder block, pistons are common, but some of the engine equipment for sure are different. I was not heard much about high pressure pomp leaks in 508 od C5 and for mondeo is an very typical thing. Also way in saving polar bears is different. Dry DPF versus FAP. So saying these are the same engines, is mistake.

Well what Brit engine would you fit in them .

Does anyone have the item number for the 2 gaskets and the oil ring?

I would of been inclined to try using an anaerobic sealant on it as well.

Hi Alan, great video as usual. My car was in with Ford and they have quoted 4 hours of labour (325 Euro) to put it right. Is that a fair representation of the work in your opinion as you've done so many.

Perhaps the solution is to take the pump off and have a groove machined in the face and fit an o-ring. I have a 2002 Audi that uses a metal gasket just like that on the cam adjuster and it is also impossible to keep sealed.

Still missing you throwing the crap parts in the Bin

My coworker did about 15 of them this year Seems to be a recurring issue

which year model includes these problems?
