We have had five Mondeos, right from the mk1, got a mk5 titanium 2.0 diesel at the moment which is a lovely car to drive, but out of them all my favourite was the mk 3 2.0 tdci Ghia, a truly brilliant car.
Yes, i too have a Mk2 1.8i......175,000 on the clock.......original engine.......brilliant motor.....easy to work on.....keep yours on the road as long as poss. Cheers - Chris.
Hello Alan, I've had my MK5 Mondeo since new in 2015 (65) it is a 240ps Auto, great car to drive and looks amazing when its clean. You could be talking about my car in this video, everything you have said has happened to me. I use it as a taxi as well and its just hit 144k miles July 2021 is the last payment on the finance. Problems: 20k miles DPF Blocked as Fuel Vaporiser (replaced and reset) full of dirt. This has happened 5 times, every 20,000 miles. All fixed under warranty, except last one at 50% cost, £450 a pop. Alternator went at 50k miles (warranty). I've had two fly wheels at 70k miles (50/50) with dealer and then at 130k miles (£832). Cambelt expert advised not to change the water pump when changing the timing belt. No idea why I listened, he said they never break. Subsequently, Thermostat Housing front blew off (was leaking at the back for 18 months) then the water pump impeller snapped then EGR cracked and lost all the coolant, these three thing were inside 2 week period after I lost all my fluid on a 70 mph motorway drive. £1200 all in. Oh, the ABS lights have been on for 12 months as has the tyre pressure sensor light, but which tyre is it? £30 each. Currently rear passenger shocker gone as well. Fortunately, I am getting rid of it at the end if the month. Sad to see it go as the auto 210hp is a great drive especially for a taxi driver. Alan, I've watched all of your videos over the past 5 years and you have helped me diagnose nearly every issue I've had with my car. I am now moving to an electric vehicle and should create a whole new range of unknown issues. I've enjoyed watching you whilst learning so much about my car. Ford should employ people like you to identify and improve their cars but they wont listen and they will lose loyal customers like me to Tesla. Sad to see my MK5 go even after all the problems but the gearbox is £3000 and it has to go before that packs in. It's been great Alan....I owe you a good few pints believe me. By the way, taxi tests in Merseyside are £38.50.
@@alan4x my dads one had been very reliable, he got his in 2015 and sold it in 2019, there was almost no problems. The new owner said he had no problems even though its at 70k miles now. Actually thinking about it, the rear pads and discs went bad after 8k miles, somehow. Then the front brake pads were bad at 20k.
OMG you are so good I had ford galaxy 2017 taxi from new , same engine like that car and done 150, 000 mile and I got all the faults which you mentioned even the lower arm suspension pushes was very noisy and I sold the problem after I saw your video. You are amazing Mechanek
Hi Alan..Thank you again for your suggestion re: my car locking and unlocking repeatedly at random. You might be interested to know that the problem turned out to be the key fob.. The random switching stopped when I removed the batteries..Lucky for me, I always take the spare key with me!! Thanks again for all the time and effort you put in to keep mk5 drivers informed.
I have a 2011 Mondeo estate as my taxi and I can honestly say it's been brilliant, I have never lost a days work. This car now has 255k on the clock and still pulls like a train however I'm now being forced to change because of the Ulez in Newcastle. Been looking at the Mk5 or a galaxy/smax still undecided
Mine is on 63000 miles hopefully I will get a few more years before any problems start had it for a year now not a single issue fingers crossed nice video Alan like the monika cameo good crack keep it up
I will keep my 2005 Mk 3 Zetec Petrol 2L estate. None of that crap and on its original engine, clutch and flywheel . No abs sensor rubbish either. But its front springs bust within six years! Cheap to fix. I get 40K from front discs as drive carefully . Teach you drivers to drive, Improvement equals deterioration. Great videos as ever.
Have a 66 registered St Line. Had it since new and just clocked 150,000 miles. Aside from tyres and the usual, it’s been regularly serviced and maintained, just did the timing belt myself and brake disc and pads. Not missed a beat.
Monica , you absolutely did the right thing with that printer . As much as we diyers want to fix everything , a printer is just not worth our time . Good show girl 👍 . Might I add , looking fabulous as always 💕
Alan, just bought a 2015 estate and drove it home from englandshire to jockland and absolutely love it. I'm an old school mechanic and I'm now hanging on your every word, great videos thanks
Had our 2015 Mark 5 Mondeo estate 180bhp diesel manual Titanium X with extras 5 years that covered 79,000 miles and only had a fuel pump gasket replacement at 72K service with original front discs pads replaced at that annual service as well. Excellent refined car that better than previous models.
Hi, I'm thinking about buying 2015 Mondeo but I can't decide between 150bhp and 180bhp engine. From what I heard, it's the same engine, but the 180bhp version is getting pumped more by the turbo which causes engine parts to crack, is that correct or not? Would you recommend this 180bhp engine? Considering you already did quite a lot of miles on it. thanks in advance :)
Wow - never heard anyone who knows what they're talking about with a car like this! Impressive! I'm considering a 318k miles (yes, 318,000!!!) ex-fleet and now know what to look for in the service history! Thank you!!
Had MB/BMW /Audi/VW but always had a soft spot for unpretentious Fords ,MK4 Mondeo in a 57 plate was one of the best cars I’ve ever had ,might try and bag a late model 20/21 …👍
Very good video yet again Alan. Only thing is with regard to the high pressure pump transfer housing. The dam thing is only bolted at 2 points. You will however see a third unavailable bolt port on the old gasket. It should be a 3 point (every 120 degrees bolt down to be totally secure all round. I agree,,, bad design from day one. A third bolt can't be used due to the big driving step up gear being in the way. What clown with an engineering credit designed it in the first place? 🤔 I did this very same repair on my Kuga and used a small bit of blue Hylomar on the oil feed area of gasket only to find that the leak comes back in 5000 miles. I'm done with owing Ford this time and buying myself a Dacia. Please can you do a feature on the Dacia Duster if the opertunity presents. Keep up the good work Alan. We appreciate it. You da man 👍
Fab video, thanks. Looks like my 108k mk5 has some expenses coming up soon-ish! Loved the printer disposal section. Seems like there are some anger issues among staff and boss 😂
Alan I’ve got the same issue I suspect, I think it’s the spring in the high pressure fuel pump / not starting at all! Despite all the cam position and crank sensor codes!
My Job for tommorow alan, although its a 2012 focus 2.0 tdci, great guide by the way Edit… Went like a dream, done it the hard way removing the starter to lock the flywheel. But its a job il probably only do once so wasn’t taking any risks. Cheers for the vid al, top class as per. Keep up the fantastic work.😎
Hi mate have mondeo titanium x sport horn disables when double lock the car,sit in it lock then open twice to get it to clock spring then hope it wasn't
Your content has been second to none for my brothers mk4 Alan! Have you ever had any ecu failures on your mk4's? For years my brothers car has had an intermittent limp mode issue with both fuel pressure sensor and crank angle sensor faults. Have you struck this before?
I paid 290 pounds for new taillights for the Ford Galaxy 3 years ago due to the card that controls the LED strip in the taillight was corroded and it was not possible to buy just the card !!
My IVECO artic tractor unit has done nearly 120,000 MILES and the pad wear is 25% on the front and rear axle and, only 3% on the middle one. All this whilst running at 44 tonnes, in the North of England, up and over the Pennines regularly.
Hi Alan, not Mondeo question but did you have a motorbike years ago i seem to remember you around Huntingdon years ago, but i am getting old now i could be remembering wrong. 😄😄😄
Mate this was really really helpful but frightening. Im picking up ky 2016 auto mondeo this afternoon im hoping not to see a lot of these problems. Scary but thank you for the heads up.
Hi Alan..any ideas on a "Powertrain fault"...ford guys say could be loads of things...only come on the odd time..... started not long after i changed the car battery?
Hello Alan, I have a 2007 Volvo S40 2.0D Engine code D4204T . Ive owned it from new! Needs a cambelt as now done 96K mls and a fuel filter - not done for approx 35 - 40 k miles. Have all parts and a gates timing belt kit inc water pump. This car does not have the dredded DPF filter. Want it done by someone experienced and actually knows what they are doing. Will obviously pay labour and any sundrys costs but is this worth doing a video on (its like the mondeo but slightly different). Many increase your youtube exposure and presence - particularly into the Volvo community. Happy to travel so let me know if this would be of interest? regards
Hi am in the same boat as jothain 200,300 miles on a Mk 4 mondeo am toying with a auto gear box this time Has to be sub 100,000 miles mk4 or look at a mk5 Really not sure what to do Cheers Dave
Hi Alan 100,000 is just about run in like the current one when I got it Need to change it as clutch etc is looming it has been in the car from new and that is a big bill Cheers Dave
Thank you! But I'm not pleased with the front seats, because I had to change the seat cussion after 100.000 km. If you compare to the MK4, they had a metal bowl where the seat cussion lays in, the MK5 only has 2 springs, where the cussion is layed on. Or the english cars build an other way?
From experience my 2015, 2.0 tdci developed the following faults: 87k Alternator clutch pulley. 107lk Intermittent clutch judder when hot. 108k water pump impeller failure (detached from shaft). 115k Egr valve plastic housing split and leaked. Safe to say that after 100k a lot of expenditure is needed on these vehicles.
Thanks for this Alan. Our 2015 S-Max (very similar mechanically) has the dreaded oil leak from the HP fuel pump gasket also... Any advice on prevention measures for some of these other issues, such as the coolant leaks or drive shaft inner joints?
Another brilliant video, Allan..Thank you.. You mention High Intensity headlight bulbs but there are many on the market.. Is there one make that the trade would recommend as being the best?..Thank you again.. John.. Bristol
Hi Alan, you talked about the drive shaft failing on the mk5 mondeo costing about 300. Ford quoted me 800+ where can you get this from at about this 300 mark? Cheers Joe
Hi Allan great video's I never miss one, just a quick question I have a 2011 MK4 Mondeo tdci I was just wondering if you recommend fuel additives to keep egr injectors and dog clean. Thanks Jon.
I am going to suggest at work that we look at making aluminium EGR valve parts to replace the plastic one that splits :) Are the EGR and thermostat housing the same as used by peugeot or are they ford items ?
Hi Alan I have an oil leak on my 2006 Mondeo ST220, and have been told it could be the timing chain case oil seal. Could I bring it in, so you can have a look at it?
Hi Alan, I see you have had requests to do a similar video on the Mark 4 Mondeo. If you do decide to, you are welcome to borrow my 2009 Estate for the purpose. One owner (me) since new, full service record along with every receipt retained since day one.
290 000 miles iam running on borrowed time but it's running sweet I expect another 100k Peugeot boxer maybe timing chain guides? /Gearbox oil is I the same gearbox in the Peugeot boxer as a Mondeo ? Another great video funexcation
Great video. Very interesting hearing about this kind of stuff from a guy who knows it all so well.

Housing - maybe part numbers could tell 🤔

Hi Alan
I have an oil leak on my 2006 Mondeo ST220, and have been told it could be the timing chain case oil seal.

Hi Alan, I see you have had requests to do a similar video on the Mark 4 Mondeo. If you do decide to, you are welcome to borrow my 2009 Estate for the purpose. One owner (me) since new, full service record along with every receipt retained since day one.
The spring thing in the high pressure pump, at what mileage will you expect to get problems?
290 000 miles iam running on borrowed time but it's running sweet I expect another 100k Peugeot boxer maybe timing chain guides? /Gearbox oil is I the same gearbox in the Peugeot boxer as a Mondeo ? Another great video funexcation
