Good to see this video, taking on this job my ST on this weekend
Good luck, it's simple enough to do.
What size tap did you use ?
Correct Torque specs for the 4 x M7 bolts is 17Nm as per Volvo VIDA 12:30. The guy who said 10Nm in the comments is wrong.
Good job👍did notice ECU looks a bit loose vibrating?
Yes the welds on the aftermarket bracket has broken.
Bolts will only get rounded off by using the wrong socket like a 12 point. You need to use 6 point sockets to prevent rounding.
Is there a gasket kit for the Oil Filter Housing? Mine is leaking from the front of the housing...
The new unit came with new gaskets, I'm sure you will be able to get the gaskets separately from ford.
If it's leaking from the front, I would say the top plastic cover is faulty which means you probably need a whole new unit.
@@Roverworx That's what I was expecting unfortunately 😔
Thanks for the info 👍
@MartinJones123 after replacing mine, it still chucks oil out, so don't even think the old one was faulty. Replaced all the hoses aswell with new genuine ones. Think I must have bore score or it's leaking through the valve stem seals, creating crank case pressure. Only happens when I send it though not on normal driving.
@@Roverworx That's no good at all! What are the symptoms of bore score or valve stem seal issues?
Mine seems to be leaking around the plastic lid area...
@@MartinJones123 heavy breathing, pushing oil out of the seals, blue smoking etc
Its 10um
