Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend recently xD
If you want to drain the fluid using the drain pipe at the steering rack, or disconnect the lines at the rack, see this later video: ua-cam.com/video/G7d9tPd-5so/v-deo.html
always remember to clean the filter inside the reservoir. If it"s not possible, change the reservoir after changing the fluid. A dirty filter is the main reason why the pump moans.
Hi Craig, Thank you for the brillant coverage. Could you share the site url to obtian the part number and manual for Ford Mondeo. I have a Ford Mondeo Estate 2.0 2009 here but the Ford distributor here seems very reluctant to share part numbers.
Mine was leaking because of the O-ring between reservoir & pump being worn out. Replaced that and the problem is gone. It just surprises me that you have two on yours. I am not sure it is the factory layout.
The workshop manual refers to rings plural and my pump was factory. Strange design. Maybe the smaller ring is designed to center the plastic coaxially with the alloy, while the outer one actually seals in compression with the bolts. Not sure.
Do you remember the size of the O-ring? I'm planning on replacing it to potentially resolve my whining power steering pump and Ford lists it and the reservoir as one big part.
It is detailed and very helpful. Thank you! By the way, may i ask where did you find the part numbers. Is there a website where i can look at. I need to fine the part numbers for my 2009 ford focus 1.8 duratecHE. I look forward for your help on this. Thanks a lot, Craig!
It's just from a wreckers but is younger than mine. Teflon tape might work but would be a bodge, the line fitting is not a tapered thread, it's designed to compress against the proper seal. The seal from Ford is not too expensive.
Excellent tutorial as always, Craig. Miraculous enough, I just very recently got issues with my steering (v6 version). Is getting a bit noisy and steering influenses idling speed. Looking the problem up at forums like Talkford, there is mentioned that it's wise to replace the waterpump at the same time with PS-pump, since the 2 parts are connected. I believe that's about diesel engines. But have you considered the topic (replacing both parts) for yourself? Kind regards from the Netherlands.
My water pump was renewed some 100,000 km ago and it's been fine so far. It seems it's just convenient to do them together on the diesels if they're connected, no other reason? But if you're not paying a mechanic I wouldn't bother replacing a good part.
It is sold as a specific Ford part, try to order it. If you have Ford cars in your country you have Ford dealerships, and they will enjoy ripping you off as much as anyone else. Failing that, engineering shops should be able to offer you something similar. You could try other seals to bodge it but you'd be asking for leaks.
My pump was moaning horribly with the new fluid it's much better, but that's all I'll do to it, as the engine uses way too much oil and it was a 300€ car.

Hi I need to tackle this, hoping it’s the @craigsDIY same as a 2010 transit connect? Thanks for the help!
It is detailed and very helpful. Thank you!
By the way, may i ask where did you find the part numbers. Is there a website where i can look at.
I need to fine the part numbers for my 2009 ford focus 1.8 duratecHE.
I look forward for your help on this.
Thanks a lot, Craig!
Thanks a lot Craig
This was a great video!!
Great video , million thanks
Nice! Thx Craig! What pump did you get, new or recon? And where from? Do you think a teflon tape would work instead of the ring?
It's just from a wreckers but is younger than mine. Teflon tape might work but would be a bodge, the line fitting is not a tapered thread, it's designed to compress against the proper seal. The seal from Ford is not too expensive.
@@CraigsDIY there was no way to fix your old pump?
Nice video.... whats name off program that use for parts in this video ?
I'd also like to know this!
What were the symptoms that prompted you to change the pump?
Leaking
Nice video. My request is to do video on Fiat car so we can learn. 😃

My pump was leaking fluid at the pulley spindle.
I have chirping only on pump can I change wheel only bearing
Would it be the same fluid for TDCI engines too?
Cheers Craig
Yes
Nice 1 My Mk.3 is well overdue for a flush...
TDCi fluid is green, not red. You need spec WSS-M2C204-A2
Great video!!
would yo be so kind to share the link for the web page where the diagram of the hydraulic system is shown plz?
Why do you disconnect the crankshaft sensor?
What's the website to view the assembly and exploded view of the system? Very nice video!
ford.7zap.com
Same as 2010 transit connect????
Is there a way other than Teflon seal because we do not have a Teflon seal?

My mondeo manual specify that i should use WSS-M2C204-A, can i just change that to mercon V like you did if i change the pump in the same go?
Yes, or any of the other applicable specs, they made a real mess of them. Read the notes in the desc.
What is the diameter of the new white o ring?
My pump was moaning horribly with the new fluid it's much better, but that's all I'll do to it, as the engine uses way too much oil and it was a 300€ car.
haaaa you awesome maan..
