Great video Alan, thank you Not only Mondeo's - I've just had to replace this solenoid on my daughter's 1.6 diesel Jeep Renegade which came up with the same code. Just got EML but no limp mode. Very difficult to source the part, but this engine is fitted in Fiats, Alfas, and some Vauxhalls. Managed to get one from an Alfa dealer £148 and not as pretty as yours.
Alan. Alan. Alan. Alan. It’s always good to see you back and back to a Mondeo video. I miss the Mondeo oily bits. What’s wrong with us all !!!! We’ve all Ford loving. Throw back to times good. Mondeo lovers. Mondeo was so boring 1996 P to say 01 X and then the MK4 was it Y reg 51 on.
Thanks for all your vids,you have save me a lot of time stress and money can you tell me do you have to drain the oil before you fit the oil pressure solinoid

Excellent vid' as always Alan, a real money saver (well short of the Ford 'Stealership' price ! ). Do you need to clear any codes or will the ECU delete it when fitted and run ?.
Hey Alan, thank you for video. It helps me a lot. Do you think changing oil more often can prevent this problem? Or is it basically common issue for 250k miles?
Hello Alan , I have a 2018 ford Mondeo 1.5 diesel manual and recently the spanner light comes on the dash board but no fault codes. I have changed the oil and oil filter with fuel filter but to no avail the spanner light is still on and the car is now in limp mode any idea please?
@Alan Howatt I would just like to thank you for your excellent videos, really saved my butt when my Mondeo (2016 Mk5 2.0 TDCi) decided to kick it on the highway. No previous errors, no warnings. Just dies, and got the dreaded amber spanner. Tried many things, changed the filters, leak-off tests etc. Turns out the fuel pump had failed just like in one of your videos; exactly on the same spot on the shaft. I changed the pump to a new one, and the car fired right up again, but it runs rough. To the point: now I get a P0266 Cylinder 2 Contribution/Balance error readout on ForScan, and - for some reason - the dashboard gives me a Low Engine Oil Pressure warning. But Forscans says nothing about this. There are no other errors. Am I getting a oil pressure error because the engine is running roughly, or do you think it might be the solenoid like in this video (no errors on this though). Also, I'm not sure I quite understand what the P0266 error means, but from what I gather, I might all of a sudden have a clogged or broken injector on Cyl2? Thanks :)
hi marius, sounds like metal filings from your pump entered no2 injector and is causing it to misfire ..i would change that injector...as for the oil pressure ...if the engine idle speed gets low due to a misfiring injector it can bring the low oil pressure warning up.. i have had that happen to me
@@alan4x Alright, thanks a lot :) You really know your stuff, and saved me so far, so I have no doubt you're in the right this time as well :) The best course of action is to replace it then, no point in trying to clean it?
@alan I have this issue cutting out on load, no limp mode, just stalls, 4th 5th 6th gear high load. It shows no codes. If it stop the car I can restart it and it drives fine
Hi Alan, again great video. I was wondering if is there a way to maybe clean this sensor? Since this is an electro-mechanical component, maybe the electronic part is ok and the mechanical part can be cleaned with some spray (degreaser, brake cleaner). Did you try something like this?
www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/103696-cannot-get-mk-5-rear-calipers-into-maintenance-mode/ in that forum there is the way of doing it but i have found it to be hit and miss if it works or not
So, do we know if the OFF state is open or closed, i.e. normal pressure or low pressure? It appears that these solenoids are used to REDUCE oil pressure when there is little or no load on the engine in order to make the engine more fuel efficient by reducing parasitic power loss due to normal oil pressure. In Mercedes engines, the default state is NORMAL oil pressure as a fail-safe in the even of the solenoid failure. Also, the Mercedes code P06DA00 will not illuminate the CEL/MIL/EML and is generally ignored unless there is also an engine light, which would indicate a different problem.
Te salut și te urmăresc cu placere.. am aceeași problema..am înlocuit senzorul și defectul apare daca o ții la 4.000 rpm turata ...ce sa.i fac?după manometru se pare ca ar avea cu 1bar presiune mai mare...la 2mii rpm ar trebui sa aibă 2bari ea are 3.5 bari la 4mii rpm sa aibă 4 bari ea are 4.5...5 bari
In stock item at Ford - says to me its a common occurance fault like the fuel pump gear unit gasket. Great info as always. Is there any perticular mileage these have been started to fail at on the fleet you look after? See you in oct to discuss steering rack bolts.
I change oil on mk4 Ford Mondeo after 5000 miles I checked the dipstick and there was no oil to be seen. I am surprised there was no warning light and the car drove as normal and good fuel consumption; 45 mpg. The car is about 14 yrs old. Do I ask the garage to change the oil pressure sending unit. Hopefully the engine is oké.
Good Evening Son getting low oil pressure low warning on ford tdci mk8 fiesta Garage changed oil pressure sensor & oil and filter but still getting intermittent message when cold could this be the problem Kind regards
That was easy to fix. At the last time i had a faulty oil pressure switch and twice a week came up yellow wrench on the dash. Now everything is just perfect again no problem. Alan! I would have a question to you please! There is any replacing period for the camshaft chain? Because i was at the ford garage somewhere in Ireland and they told me this one no need to touch. I am just worried because i saw your other video about broken chain. Thanks 👍
not come across a service interval for the chain...just keep the engine serviced with the correct oil...from my experiance i would say the chains are failing..well the tensioners are at about 240k miles onwards
Watching your videos I’ve decided to sell my mk5 2.0l diesel. Nice car, loved it until 3 days ago when at 58000 km the EGR valve broke on me in the middle of the highway 450 km away from home, on my way to important business that I needed to attend. I lost all confidence in it. This begs the question whether it would make sense, if you’re stuck with a particular car, to preemptively change this solenoid at certain mileage?
if your engine has been serviced and had the oil changes at the correct intervals that chain should last the life of the engine..we have many of them over 300k miles without any chain issues
@@alan4x Thanks for the answer Alan, yes the oil changed every 3-5 thousand kilometers. At the moment, the mileage is 320 thousand kilometers. Thank you for your hard work.
Alan i put a new sump on my 1.8d connect and it came with a paper gasket, its pissing every where and the neighbours hate me, where did i go wrong, great video by the way 🙏🙏
Hello Alan have you ever encounter metal fillings in the oil sump? If not what would you think it would be? Sump was dropped and cleaned, oil filter opened and was clean 👌
its not uncommon to have a few metal specs from when the car was new and running in, if its a lot then you could have a problem, big end and main bearing shells
@@alan4x thanks for the reply Alan the mk5 has "68,000" miles. I was watching your videos all day today and was thinking about the timing chain tensioner, where does all the metal goes to when the chain grinds on the worn tensioner (metal on metal)???
@@Rebasandofronteras the metal from the tensioner if it gets to that point of wear will get circulated around the engine oil and probably won't be doing the big end and main bearing shells any good
Iam starting to notice a lot of mk5 s at the side of the road, and that’s not to forget about the huge number of focus and mk4 at the side of the road um
im having this issue. car is 6 years old but only 38k miles! only seems to do it when pulling hard (at low RPM) or being driven hard. not sure whether to try changing the oil first or, as it seems, try changing this solenoid while im on with the service. any recommendations?
if you are getting ecu codes related to the oil pressure control solenoid then it would be best to replace it as they are pretty common for failure and cause reduced engine power
Hi this is so weird, the last 2 weeks my fkng 2018 mondeo 1.5's been on limping mode, I've been reading and looking and going from garage to garage spending fkng money trying to fix it but no joy at all, not sure if there is a selenoid oil presure sensor on that shait i own, but well; this next Monday is going to the garage,not the stealer but a really good one for what I've heard, so hopefully I'll get it fixed to fck 🤷♂️
I've heard about those new systems that alternate oil pressure according to load on engine.. I'm sure they will kill many engines in the future and all that for the sake of reducing emissions.. by tiny bit!!

Different test for hire vehicles. If it does not pass that test then the taxi plate on the back expires and you can see it yourself before you get in it.
@alan4x po6dd which is why I replaced the solenoid sensor. It's not putting any codes on my small handheld reader ,it's not putting an engine management light on either, but it is putting an engine reduced power message on the dash. But with a proper garage diagnostic tool it showed the po6dd.
Alan, it turned out to be the front ABS speed sensor causing the code, apparently a dodgy abs sensor can effect the 2 stage oil pump.? Strange one but I've changed both front end abs sensors and now the po6dd has stopped popping up
