It’s 2am here in the uk 1 hour after Alan posted this video so far 127 people have viewed it and only 13 of us have hit the like button - how hard can it be not to press like - it’s FREE valuable info which is also entertaining - What else have most of got to do this early in the morning. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks Alan for doing this video

Monia's positive energy is infectious 😊 It is not just you with the injectors Alan.. watching a couple of different channels here, others too, have said that diesel injectors stopped working after taking them out and putting back in again while doing injector unrelated job!!

Wat a teacher could watch u all day Alan brill💯

Best channel for Mondeo repairs!

My parents used to watch "Little House on the Prairie" with Michael Landon, I watch Alan's video series on fixing Mondeos. It's good to have you, my mondeo 2016,5 which I own for 3 years already, has never seen a mechanic (I've already changed the timing belt, water pomp, cooler, HPFP seals, fluids, filters and so on) . Great job as always! Thank you.👍

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,. Alan I have just repaired the head gasket on my wife's brother's Peugeot 508 2.0 with same engine. Your various videos on timing belts, fuel pump timing, Egr abominations and chain replacement gave me all the info I needed. It took me quite a while , maybe nearly 30 hours over two weeks, but it seems successful. It started on second turn of the key and only real problem at the end was I forgot to reconnect the cam sensor so it was a sluggish starter. A word to other users, I broke the head off 6 of the head bolts due to the torx part shearing. Luckily a friend was able to weld old sockets and we got them out for the price of a few pints. Thank you once again Alan for your wonderful videos. You've a friend in Ireland now! Thanks, Richard, Dublin.

Superb video, I know absolutely nothing about diesels and you make it easy to follow along.

Absolutely perfect content. Just got teetht flew of from the belt and these videos saved my engineering!👌

The Rover 75 is fitted with a Jatco JF506E transmission witch in fact is the same that is used in the mk3 Mondeo. Very rare with mechanical issues but quite prone to electrical issues. But I seriously doubt the gearbox is at fault here! Thank you so much for spectacularly entertaining videos😁

Nice work as always Alan,great to see Monica’s cameo 😍👍

You got a piece of modern art there mate

Hi Alan, Due to your advices, I've replaced head gasket in DW10F and all stuff around. You doing very very good job :) Thx & greetings from Poland.

Another fantastic tutorial video Alan.👍👌 These vehicles 'MUST' be very well maintained otherwise they wouldn't still be running sweet with over a 1/4 of a million miles on some of them so give yourself a pat on the back. Boss-man (Steve) was right to buy a fleet of Fords by the looks of it because if he went 'German' & bought a fleet of BMW's some of them have cam chains on the opposite end of the engine. (Behind the Flywheel). So it's Engine out, Gearbox & Clutch & Flywheel off to access the timing cover. They are a nightmare !

Cracked it again Alan .Another taxi back on the road.

It’s that bloomin’ spring again! I’m sure that is what’s causing the starting issue with my Mondeo!

Great content as always and top tips on teardown of components etc and filming at the same time top mark's buddy 👍👍👍

Just 2 cents from me, video helped a lot, but it's worth mentioning correct torque values for a cover, it's 5nm pretension and 10Nm final tension, and it's very important to not overdo it. Also .. something I should be aware of, when taking injectors out, you have to replace cooper washers, one of mine is not sealing correctly and smoke is coming out so I have to replace it. Other than that, great stuff.

Hi Alan 👋 you make it All Look Easy 😀

Another great video of yours. I will keep it, if it sometimes happens to my mk5. Thanks Alan Keep up the good work......

Well done Alan you did that with one hand and the other with a camera! Really appreciate the tutorial and wonder how much it really costs for this job

Love these videos Alan! Hope your new year is going well so far!

Nicely done, Alan, job jobbed

Thanks a lot for all your advice I had same problem and i am waiting all my parts to repair the engine Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I'd struggle doing it with 2 hands, let alone 1.😀, nicely done Alan.

Hey Alan. Totally blown away by the work that you do. You explain it so well, I just wish I lived closer to you as I've never seen a more meticulous mechanic in my life. Also I have a mk 4.5 mondeo which I love to bits.

Thank you Alan you're a Master theacher for me👍👍👍

Always best to squash the hydraulic lifters down when the cams are removed as when they are realeased they jack up and will keep a valve open

Great job except excess of black silicone that can block oil passage and size the engine easy. Anaerobic gasket should be used so camshafts will fit perfectly and no silicone problem. Also sounds like tiny injector knock . Thank you for the time you spent!

Thank you for sharing Alan.

Mighty job Alan💯👌👍🙂

Hi alan, great vid. You mentioned on your wednesday live stream about looking for an alternative engine oil supply. Exol lubricants do a ford approved 0w30 in the correct spec might be worth a look. Also, how much does a timing belt & water pump job cost on the mk5

Would that paper trick work for most chain driven cars?

Could you please post the torque for the camshaft cover… this info is covered with the fig. on your video… thanks a lot 👍

Well done. 👏 What you know and can do, the Ford factory doesn't know and can't do. 👏 At how many spinning miles is this chain changed preventively? Thank you

I hit the like before i have even seen the vid.... quality vid...very relaxing... N x

Great Advise ! Thanks Alan

Just the video I've been waiting for, thanks Alan, i did the paper check and yeah it spits out oil but not noisy like your video, so hopefully it won't cause any problems just yet, unlike my water pump that failed at 50k 3days after I brought the car😂 luckily it was fixed under warranty and they also replaced the cambelt, I had this all done in Huntingdon not that far from your garage?

Good job!!!

What does it mean if the camshaft position sensor b advanced but the cambelt timing is spot on.

I've a head to replace on one of these, what sealant are you using between the head and cam carrier? The information in your vids is invaluable

Hello Alan! Regarding the factory standard oil leak by the HPFP. I have came up with an idea which i actually used. I picked the cog-wheelunit in its 2 peices and only bolted up half of it to the engine at the time, why? because if you do that you can use alot of sealent paste on the actual gasket itself and not be afraid of it blocking the oil way because if only half of it is bolted up you can easily remove the excess paste from the hole. then after i have done that I bolted up the other half of the cog unit, installing the cogwheel like this when half of the unit is bolted up can be tricky but a bit of wiggling it around it will slot into the camshaft cog drive. I think this can be a good idea to solve the issue

Top info as ever. Burning the midnight oil are we my pal?

Mr. Alan, isn't there another procedure to change the timing chain? For example, to loosen the chain by removing a bolt and then mount it in position?

If it wasn't for the timing chain problem they would be a really good motor well apart from egr and the dmf what other problem have you found which should know about thanks

Hello Alan, it's nice stuff! How often do you recommend to change oil (and what of oil) on those engines? Thanks!

Ok. So why would that be considered indicative of a badly worn chain, as opposed to say excessive blow by??

Alan at what mileage is the earliest that you have had to replace the timing chain on these engines ???? another very informative video as ever Alan.

Hope you make more videos.

Great video mate

Sounding sweet 👍

Great job. Why do you not clean down the top end of the engine and the cam carrier before rebuilding?? Its all gone back minging!!!

Every how many thousand kilometers do you change the oil in your engine? Every 40,000?

Alan when you take out the injectors do you keep them in the order you took them out ie 1/1 2/2 and so on i once got told if you ever get second hand pump of old car you should All ways take the old injectors and rail or they don't work was thinking about what you said about putting them down on cold surface and yes mate ill subscribe and like for you👍😃🤪

Hi Alan, i am looking at changing my camshafts and this video is very helpful in guiding me through it! But it is honestly the last resort! I purchased the car a few months back and it has a very odd issue with it that i cannot get to the bottom of! 65 plate Mk5 mondeo 2l TDCI. 150bhp. 146000 miles It has a hard start issue.. it could be in the morning or afternoon, if the car has been stood for 7-8 hours or more, it struggles to start. Could take 1 to 4 turns of the key. BUT once it has started. It drives fine. And it will start first time every time after.. albeit a little rough. Until its been stood for a prolonged time (usually overnight) then it struggled again. With your expertise have you got any common faults that could cause this? Many thanks in advance.. i am lost/puzzled with it and been recommended to get a new engine. But i dont want to go down that route just yet.

At least you don't have to change these chains as often as a cam belt

After i disconnect fuel high pressure rail or fuel pump i always connect my vacuum pump to the overfill fuel system which helps to suck fuel to high pressure pump. Engine runs much faster

The piezo injectors are a pain if they drain completely dry apparently. Same as mercs

Hi pal, I wonder if you could book my mondeo 2016 to change the timing chain?

Hi Alan, I hope you understand my question. I have noticed on a Ford mk5 in the winter months when the cabin heater is on, after a while, I lose 2dcl of coolant from the system, which is visible in the antifreeze container. What could be causing this? I note that there was no mixing of antifreeze and oil in the container (the antifreeze is "clean") and I did not notice any impurities in the oil.

Can you remove the tensioner in situ without taking out the chain/camshafts?

so the mark on the high pressure pump and the hole from cmashaft pulley need to be both at 6 a clock right? to mounted right

Allan,what is the cause of the tapping noise on cold start engine until is warming and disappear? 2.0 TDCI.A lot of mondeo's have that sound on cold start and nobody know if is that normal.

Hi Alan … love the videos .How much would a job like this cost ?

Timing belt and chain is a pretty big job, would it not be cost effective to change injectors or have them serviced, they came out and it would be an ideal time to service them, or was the mpg very close to normal. I think I have had a car you must have worked on, I have seen loads of sealant oozing on camshaft covers before.

Me parece muy bien le den el like aunque un pero en la limpieza del arreglo tendria que tener mas limpio ese motor para efectuar esa reparcion. Darle un baño antes estaria mejor.

Hi Alan if Im going to replace the seal on the fuel pump, cam belt replaced not long ago, cam chain is ok. Do I have to set timing to top dead centre and then put the pump back in correctly as you showed or just line up the marks you just shown on the pump without timing up top dead centre? Cheers.

another great video, and the dancing, you should be on strictly

Hi. Can you please tell me how hard to tighten (Nm) the camshaft cover bolts?

Hello Alan, how is it possible to clean the carbon trash in that single hole intake manifold up to the 8 intake valves? previous I cleaned an MK4 Engine with 8 intake Holes. But this one has one big Hole. thanks for your support

al i it cold where you are? sweltering here in the south!

Good evening everyone!! I have a 2016 reg ford mondeo 1.5 tdci with the engine not producing enough power! The car is not in (LIMP MODE) but it’s pretty much like if it was! I cant get up a steep hill in second gear! High speed max around 80-85mph thats with alot of effort! As soon as it hits a hill starts coming down to sometimes 50mph on a motorway! When I bought the car 1 year ago it was still under power wich I assumed its due to being just 1.5 engine but nowhere near as bad as it is now!! If i put high quality fuel from BP for example the car will get just a little better and it’s noticeable! No smoke no warning lights nothing! I have a 2017 1.5tdci mondeo aswel wich is pulling like a train and there is a massive difference Alan please could you give me a hint to what it could be or something please Thanks 🙏

What mileage of this engine? Someone didn't change oil on time?

Have you ever had to change a blend door actuator I’m searching but only videos on American Ford fusions we drive mk5 taxis up here in Sunderland and having issues with heat on drivers side but not passenger side. With you dealing with over 100 mondeos im sure you have come across this ???

Do the mk4 engines have the gasket for the injectors? My C4 Picasso 2.0 hdi 2009 model has no gasket, should it have one or does it just use sealer?

What are the symptoms of a mis timed fuel pump?

Hehe thought it was just us that had the ghost injectors going to show this to irate customers

Hi Alan, injectors are stuck on my mk5 mondeo what puller do you reccomend? thanks

Is some noise from these chains acceptable? I can hear mine (it's like a quiet scraping sound) but it's not very loud.

How many miles do you do the oil changes at? Every 10k?

Hi Alan, how did you find out that the injectors were bad?

Are there timing marks on the cog box itself or can it only align one way?

Whil it be the same for a Opel astra j DIESEL ????

Your up late tonight kid 😮

Hi Alan is the paper test the same for the mk 4.

Hey Alan, can you please do me a favour. Can you film a 2.0 Diesel chain test with paper on a good engine to give your valued viewers a comparison test. Cheers Mate, Ricky :)

Not sure i want to know what the labour cost on that job was, that looked like a right faff, hopefully i can rest easy with the 50k on my 2015 mk5 😬

Hello. I have a Peugeot 508 2019 engine 2.0 BlueHDI My timing belt is cutting teeth. Very low mileage. No more than 1000 kilometers. Is this due to improper installation of the high pressure fuel pump?

I will be very happy if the timing chain on my Vauxhall Astra 2015 1.6 diesel Astra last for over 200.000 miles because it is at the rear of the engine flywheel end so you probably no the job involved to renew it

Hi Alan I have a 2018 mk five Mondeo 1.5 diesel taxi i’m having to change the oil every 2 to 3000 miles as the light flashes for oil change then I realised that I was getting oil, dilution I think from the fuel is the dipstick is going higher and higher. How can I fix this problem? And what is the cause?

From 35:08 is that tick normal?

Hello . I have a Ford Mondeo mk5. Do you live in UK? I WOULD LIKE TO COME WITH MY FORD MONDEO TO YOU TO CHANGE AUTOMATIC GEARBOX OIL AND I HAVE AN ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT ON. CAN YOU GIVE ME A LOCATION IF YOU LIVE IN UK. THANK YOU . CONSTANTIN

What's the highest milage mondeo you've seen matey

Hi Alan Ive a mk 5 mondeo estate 15 plate tdci. Is my timing belt on a chain? as i thought it was always a belt.

Chr thats nuts🤣🤣

Terrible cars to work on. It’s like they make these cars to laugh of people who want to fix them. I prefer working on VW rather than this crap, but I’m not a mechanic so I could be wrong. 2 weeks ago a friend of mine broke the teeth on the timing belt and broke all the exhaust rockers.. I replaced all the hydraulic lifters and rockers, timing chain and tensioner and the belt kit. I didn’t take the fuel pump out if you fiddle a bit with the exhaust camshaft it will go out without needing to remove the pump. I also removed the harness from the ecu to the right and didn’t had to remove that many plugs from the front of the engine. Other than that, I guess luckily I didn’t had issue with the injectors not working after replacing, and I did release the chain tensioner before putting the rocker cover on.. i knew that wasn’t a good thing to do and I had to tighten the cover bit by bit just touching on the screws on the correct pattern but it worked out. I left the injector pipes undone and the injectors cables removed, cranked it a few times in order to get diesel up to the injectors then tighten the nuts and it fired up right away. My friend was very happy but I told him not to break that shit anymore because I don’t like fixing fords.

Can't watch your videos when you go for the handheld camera shots - plays havoc with my motion sickness......

Is the cog box that the pump bolts on a reduction gear or something and what is the chance of something failing and causing the timing to jump? Just put one back together that had snapped exhaust rockers, belt timing was ok so i can only assume chain jumped. The cog box has sealant on its joint and to the head so I'm assuming they had been off previously for some reason, are there oil passages to watch out for on them? What does the pump gear align with in the cog bog and os it set with the crank and cam timing locked

Brilliant I was wondering weather to do mine or not , I now know it's definitely that , 1 question though Alan 0w30 ?? I've always 5w30
