You can buy O rings from many suppliers. All you need are the specs of it... but are generally sized according to internal diameter and cross section (difference between internal and external diameter). Would suggest Viton (FKM) or Kalrez (FFKM) o rings for that application.. and most likely better than OEM. About £5 each! Worst case scenario... they can even make custom o rings for you! (Friend works for a pump manufacturer)
Hello Alan..lol just replace my vacuum pump on my 2009 1.8 tdci galaxy yep as you said solid brakes .. 2 weeks after the boost pipe lol ...yeah wasn't cheap far from it .. again great detail in your video.... 290kfor that turbo that good mileage .. enjoy your weekend
Hi Alan, BMW are just the same with their vacuum pumps. You can’t just but the “O” ring, you have to buy the complete pump. Luckily I managed to find some genuine “O” rings on the internet for about £5. Problem sorted. Keep up the good work 👍
Can you share some more info about that o ring that you bought? Any links? Specifications? I guess that it is not hard to find o-ring with same(similar) dimensions, but are there any special material requirements? Thanx.
There are plenty of o ring kits for brake vacuum pumps think you need part number of pump as reference when buying 0 ring kit. The pattern part pumps are probably made by pier burg or Bosch and other Oe suppliers.
Saabs have a similar problem on their vac pumps on the petrol ones and you can get the seals for them, so hopefully someone will start producing the seal kits for the mondeos
@@alan4x Hi Alan. Would you happen to have any idea of what causes the Vacuum Pump to fail on the Focus / Fiesta 1.0 ecoBoost? I've replaced one 3 weeks ago with a new MoFoCo unit and it's already failed!
yup I've had a complete brake pump failure on a mk8 transit 350. the big van not the custom. total brown trouser moment absolutely pissing oil everywhere.
You can buy a Pierburg replacement pump for around 100 euro’s. The original one is also made by Pierburg 😉 Replaced a few of them on late mark4 mondeo’s. They start making a loud ticking noise at 250000+ km.
Alan get your arse down to your local industrial hydraulic parts supplier,they will have a huge selection of "O" rings in stock,you'll surely find one there.
@@benjaminschmied7998 Yeah I suppose other makes are no different. It's also a joke how the O ring is not available, in the era of sustainability we are going backwards!
Alan, could you check the measurements of this o-ring? I wish to find similar / same of this and it will be nice to have it ready to replace ;) Thanks a lot
Lol i used to have a mk2 escort with drum brakes all round and no servo assistance, it was down right dangerous. Why cant you get an O ring ? Im sure its worth getting in touch with the likes of Derby Gaskets.
My mams just had a crash in her 1.6l mk4.5 Was going down hill slightly at a 40mph and went straight into the back of another car. Police said she tried to accelerate into the crash before they got their faces painted red.
Does anyone know does the engine have to be timed up first before removing the vac pump or can you just bolt it off and bolt the new one directly without any messing ?
Just an update my mk4 2.0 petrol in zetec trim still going strong at 164k miles. I was looking at a mk3 petrol ghia x with 61k on the clock for 3 bags of sand.
@@marinusapeldoorn6631 yes drives lovely. Exhaust is fine, I've had a new oxygen sensor put on last year. A bit of rust on the back box but otherwise in good nick.
@@simonjohnhinton1938 I have had a feeling / sound of a leaking exhaust for the four years I've owned my 2009, although it passes dutch MOT every year. Just not as quiet as I expected.
@@marinusapeldoorn6631 I had a few noises from the front and that was down to the idle pulley and tensioner of the auxiliary belt and also the alternator clutch pulley which was fucked. I think the kit cost about £120 and its a really long belt too! And don't install led side light bulbs as it screwed up the canbus. I was having all sorts of trouble. Put the standard ones back and all was fine again. I get a consistent 35 mpg combined on E10 which I think is good for a big heavy car.
@@simonjohnhinton1938 when were the pulleys due, since I want to change my belt shortly at 100k. I can push mine even to almost 37 mph, but it is used on highways only and we are not allowed to drive that fast here in NL. It is running on E10 brilliantly, despite all the internet crap on this fuel.
The oil's getting out through the o ring, but how's it getting in there? Or to put it another way - Is the pump actually meant to be full of oil? If not then it's a different seal that's failed, say at the input shaft, allowing it to fill with oil - just a thought. (I know nothing about these pumps)
Hi Adam, I was thinking exactly the same thing and started scanning the comments before I said it, praise be that you asked before I did, I know Alan will prove us wrong !, can't wait for the answer.
@@CTX-wh5qu Thanks for that, like I say, just a thought as i'm not familiar with that type of pump. I do look forward to Alan proving us wrong. Love the videos.
yes this type of vacuum pump (called vane type) needs engine oil for operation of the pump, to reduce wear and also for cooling. The oil is supplied through the camshaft or from oil passage from the head. Then the oil is returned to the head from the check valve that also returns air that the pump sucked and put it inside the head and helps create positive crankcase pressure
Can anyone tell me the dimensions of this gasket? Or maybe he has a proven part number or at least a supplier. It would be useful to find it and write it in the comment directly below the video.
Hi Alan,I wonder if you or anybody can help me- I have a mk5 mondeo and in the middle of the dash just underneath the windscreen is a small warning light in orange and passenger airbag to the left in white letters- can anybody tell me what it means and why mine is on? Many thanks tim.

this is your chance to be a successful o ring broker Khalid 😁
Mate: I am always grateful for your clips. Very imformative and detailed. A BIG THANK YOU
Well said
295К miles for turbo. That's not so bad 😎 for vacuum pump I will use loctide 542👍 Have a good one Alan!
There`s probably a £10 oil filter that has that very same o ring on it out there somewhere!
Can’t beat an informative Mondingo man video from the funny fantastic Alan 🤣
Wondered what that round cylinder thing was on my engine and Alan has now enlightened me! Thanks for the educational video!

I too would have thought that an O ring could have been sourced!! As usual great Teaching Alan. 💗Love your channel mate. Thanks

You are a legend mate really helped me out I have a fiat scudo van very similar I believe. From 🇦🇺
Great video.. I enjoy those post mortem examinations of yours to find the fault 😉

Another really interesting video Alan 💪

You can buy o ring splicing kits to make them in any size you like and they stand many thousands of psi thanks Allen 👍
Cool, thanks
@@alan4x Hi Alan.

I've replaced one 3 weeks ago with a new MoFoCo unit and it's already failed!
@@ukcitizen1158 no idea, we have no eco boost engines here, not heard of any vacuum pump issues
Well done Alan. But surely you can sorce some O rings instead of paying out £500?
yup I've had a complete brake pump failure on a mk8 transit 350. the big van not the custom. total brown trouser moment absolutely pissing oil everywhere.
Someone must supply the o rings. Seeing as one was fitted to the pump

I think you could get that o-ring.Meassure the circumference and width and depth of its groove.Some companys make seals and o-rings actually.
Turbo rebuild kit!! You'll be good to go! Lol. O ring kits on flea Bay might save you some money. Just need the size of the original.
Brilliant Alan 👍👍
Fantastic info as always
For a minute i thought you was going to say that Mondeo had Diesel Runaway lol
Good stuff Alan👍🙂
Alan get your arse down to your local industrial hydraulic parts supplier,they will have a huge selection of "O" rings in stock,you'll surely find one there.
Ford part prices are a joke these days, that's if they even have the part!
@@benjaminschmied7998 Yeah I suppose other makes are no different. It's also a joke how the O ring is not available, in the era of sustainability we are going backwards!
Auto doctor try them for this part I’ve found one for my bmw e46 and it’s a lot cheaper than dealers price
So glad seeing your Videos man.
Alan i miss you !
try direct Gaskets in hull
they have made me gaskets and seal that aren't available anymore for old vehicles.
Alan, could you check the measurements of this o-ring? I wish to find similar / same of this and it will be nice to have it ready to replace ;) Thanks a lot
Lol i used to have a mk2 escort with drum brakes all round and no servo assistance, it was down right dangerous.
Why cant you get an O ring ? Im sure its worth getting in touch with the likes of Derby Gaskets.
I'm sure RS components will do an O-Ring that would sort that out!
What is the company planning to go ahead with now that the Mondeo and the Smax/Galaxy's etc have stopped being made Alan 🤔
i bet a oil or fuel filter o ring much same size worth trying to find one that fits ,then only price of new filter .but safety always comes first...
My mams just had a crash in her 1.6l mk4.5
Was going down hill slightly at a 40mph and went straight into the back of another car.

I wonder will the turbos start going in more cars.
hello i have the problem P0047 turbocharger boost solenoid circuit low ford focus mk3 diesel st 185ps
Ali express sell o rings in any size also,
Hi there as it's attached to the brake server would it cause fault codes to come up for the ABS sensor as well module if it's playing up
not as far as i know, i dont think so
Does anyone know does the engine have to be timed up first before removing the vac pump or can you just bolt it off and bolt the new one directly without any messing ?

Nic video sir 👌👍👍
ebays full of o-rings, just put the measurements in, buy a Viton one and you'll have one that will last.
Hi Alan can you tell me where the relay is located for the pump please.
the pump does not have a relay, it is mechanical
Hi Alan,I wonder if you or anybody can help me- I have a mk5 mondeo and in the middle of the dash just underneath the windscreen is a small warning light in orange and passenger airbag to the left in white letters- can anybody tell me what it means and why mine is on? Many thanks tim.
your passenger airbag might be disabled...in your settings menu you should be able to switch it back on
Mk3 and Mk4 mondeos are much better made if you ask me.Quality is much better
Modern cars are absolutely jokes🙆🤦
that was the worst Turbo i ever seen,, :)
