Why did the mk5 ford mondeo 2l diesel engine seize

  • I had an idea that the oil pump was to blame for the engine seizing ...i did not expect the oil pump chain to be broken in two places let alone one but i am believing that the worn oil pump locked up momentarily which snapped the chain although that is just a guess

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The metal filter on the turbo pipe should be removed as if that clogs up it will destroy the turbo due to lack of oil (only the oil filter should be doing the filtering as that's replaceable every 5-12k miles )

    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 🍻

      Your the man when it comes to these Mills...
      My observations are based from working with other, older, chain driven engines. But to me it looks that way, doesn't look 'smashed' it's cracked which I'd tend to think meant a momentary impact, like a hydro lock, instant crack, but engine stopped before wrecking took place...
      Fascinating though, its like mechanical CSI 👌

    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.

      ​@@alan4xHi Alan, sorry for replying to a 3yr old comment...
      I run 5w40 in my DW10s (BTED4 Euro 4) but they're in Peugeots. I've never liked the idea of a 30 in any high compression turbo engines, especially diesels. Turns to piss pretty quickly and I find it highlights any wear points in the engine.
      It would be interesting to do an experiment where you run just one of these on 5w40 and see if certain components hold up better. The timing chain guides for one would hold up much better imo, as they seem to be a common wear point.
      I will add that I also run Liqui Moly MoS2 additive in every engine I own, but I get there's a difference in personal vehicles and your examples being used as a taxi (warranty and not wanting extra expenses).

    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.

    • @alan4x

      the top cam chain tensioners are becoming a worry..not had this on any of our mk4 2l engines with much higher mileage....the problem is in order to replace that tensioner involves a lot of time and would be a very expensive job..probably including all parts like new chain ...cam belt kit and gaskets etc would be around or above £1000
