Engine Removal, Ford Mondeo Mk5 2L Diesel 

Ahhh the mk5 mondeo, where its easier to remove the engine than it is to change a headlight bulb

Hi Alan 257000 miles its been right around the earth 10 times and thats with random taxi drivers knocking hell out of if, so i think its done well, brilliant as always Alan.

Thanks for posting Alan. I love your videos for several reasons: You are a shit hot mechanic and your knowledge is immense. Also, you have a natural ability to explain things in a really clear and simple way. Furthermore, you are a terrific cameraman - all your shots - no matter how deep or difficult to get to are always well lit and in focus. And finally, you are a a superb video editor, bringing everything together to make a great story. Keep up the good work Fella. You are mega talented. Oh, belated birthday wishes to Monica too.

Made that look very slick Alan. Can you go through the bleeding of all systems and the start up when you fit the new one. Thats what catches many people out on a engine swap.

That engine is bollocksed, I do love a good technical term Alan🤣

Nice video. Got rid of the MK5 lemon last week. 4 years old car in need of an engine replacement with 120k miles is unacceptable. Now using a ultra reliable 99 yaris (198k miles) until my Lexus is delivered. Speedy recovery to Monika.

Poor Mrs M 🤕 hope she gets better soon 🤞 I could watch you all day long 😷

Well done Alan - you make it look easy mate ! You gotta be the bestest Mondeo Man.

Alan is an amazing guy who teaches us many useful things about ours steel pets every day(I got my mk4 Mondeo thanks to Alan and I love it) He is very skilled and full of experience,he is a legend…..Thank you God bless You

Nice to see u back can’t wait for next vid to see the damage 👍😉

That's a brilliant top tip re the ECU bolt - I'll try that on my 2009 Fiesta as that engine is coming out. My first on my own....!

That mondeo is called Rodney! And that ECU cover being thrown across the room make me LOL 😂 as soon as I saw your cup of tea I had to pause and go and make one for myself ☕️👌

Morning Alan. Nice touch getting Monica a late birthday present 🎁 lol 😆 Always great watch the master Mondingo man work 😂 That was really interesting matey 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing the rebuild engine and the tear down of the blown one 😀 Until the next time see ya Stevie 😎

Alan: I'm bearing gifts! Closed captions say: I'm Barry Gibbs! 😂😁

With 257k on the clock, taxi driver has had his money's worth out of that.

Thanks for sharing , looks straight forward to do. One step at a time. 👍💯

keep up the good work old friend

Hope you had a good weekend off and and hope not too many taxies broke down over the weekend

Allen We miss you mate great entertaiment always great videos in detail can we ha e more videos please your top man

Some handy tips n hints there , happy days 👍🇬🇧

Really enjoyed watching the engine removal Alan. Looking forward to seeing the next vid regards the knackered engine and what you find. Cheers Kevin

Hi Alan good on reaching 25,600 subscribers and well done with all your hard work on keeping the taxies running and hope the taxi business is being to pick up again now as we are starting to come out of lockdown

Fascinating video always well explained a big lump of a engine but seemed to come out quite easily I'd love to know what the labour cost would be I'd bet it's not cheap

Eagerly awaiting your dissecting of the engine.......

Great Job, Love yah Vids. Well done. greetings from Germany Kurt

Those ECU security bolts - if you have an air grinder that takes ickle 76mm discs, slip one in so you cut a slot in the bolt - it'll cut the "housing" roundy thing too, too, but meh - you can then wind them out easily with a flat screwdriver in the slot you just created & they become "non-security" bolts thenceforth. Just my 2c.

How long did the removal take you in real time Alan ? You’re the man....

Fantastic video Alan thanks for sharing look forward to the next one

Must be brilliant having a set of Ramps like that. I had to change the engine on my cmax, has the 2.0 Duratec-HE .. the old engine had worn rings, but I just unbolted the front of the car, disconnected the engine/loom and using a trolley jack wheeled the lot out. I didn't even touch the AC system, just unbted the pump and cable ties it to one side 😂😂

Men don't usually get excited from pulling out 😁

Should be intriguing to know what's happened to it.

My engine had a crack in the piston after 140Tkm. T8CC. I have 2 days to switch. Alan already has practice :-) Greetings from Germany Dennis

Hi Alan,once again a very good and informative video- one question- now ford have announced they will stop making the mondeo in 2022- what will you use instead?

You will soon be at 30,000 subscribers

Your a nutter Alan, but a likeable one. Keep going, love your vlogs

Awesome footage as always Alan. I enjoy watching your videos and you seem like a genuinely friendly bloke. Since last year I am the proud owner of a 2016 MK 5 1.5 tdci. I think these car a bit more reliable then the 2.0 diesel version...at least I hope so :) Keep up the good work!

Love that video Alan I would like to know how it failed apparently the engine in the mk5 is still the dw10fc but it's not as reliable as the mk4 it's a shame really

TANKIOU ALANE

Would the MK4 (2011) be just the same to remove?

Hi alan i have a 2013 focus t 2.0tdci 163. Dw10c engine i have noticed oil around my injectors what do you think it is

Cheers Alan. It's Wednesday - haven't you fitted that engine yet? 😉

I'm watching your videos and I've also subbed cuzz recently I bought a Mondeo mk4 1.8tdci 92kW 2007. . . and yes this one still has a chain 😂

Alan can you weld Monica’s clutch back on again for her ❔

Good to have video again 👍. Why is Monica limping?

Is ford focus mk2 2008 tdci 2.0 same parts with mondeo mk 5? Or not?

ECU cover-security? I wonder if a simple ECU change bypasses any inbuilt security?

How do you know that the sprockets have moved on Kancha

Thanks Alan great video 📹 👍

The engine seemed to have had an inordinate amount of oil leaking. Would be interesting to see how much is left.

The amount of issues with the Mk5 has made me consider selling mine as it has done 115k miles now. Alternator clutch pulley failed at 85k. Water pump plastic impeller 108k. EGR valve just started leaking 116k. Clutch and flywheel are probably living on borrowed time even though I drive the car very gently.

Quality keep the videos coming!

Is the MK4 Mondeo engine removal much the same?

thanks for making videos and sharing

Another superb video from the Mondeo Master!!!

Love the detailed videos

Your greatest i love to see your video til next time sea yea😄😄😄😄

Great job, Alan. Always pleasure to see you in action. I believe I got some interesting task for one of your next movies maybe: squeaky clutch pedal . Plenty of Ford users report this problem on many forums over the internet and there seems to be no proper fix except of replacing entire clutch pedal assembly, what is pretty expensive. Maybe any fix idea?

Help mk4 mondeo 18tdci 07 Cutts out but startd again

Hi Alan I couldn't see does the ecu have to come out to change the t belt

Enjoyable watch thanks

Seams though combustion gasses got past piston rings to exit the dip stick hole

When swapping another engine, do I need to swap the Ecu as well? Please advise, btw great videos

if the engine packed up like this one what you are doing ? do you ever strip it right the way down and take any parts whats good enough to reused say like for example piston or the oil sump again or do you just get rid of all?

Have you ever scored with ms monica?

As allways - 👍👍👍👍

nice, thanks

That's a big 6 inches Alan, not showing my wife this video.

looks like a pain in the ass, love to remove my engine in the old granada :)

ford used to a great car to work on but not now

Do you ever think Steves Taxi would change to another manufacturer ? We have a fleet of new transits and they are loosing us so much money due to unreliability thankfully under warranty but when that transit has a special machine bolted in the back its not a thing you can just hire from a rental company and keep working .... so having discussions to buy VW vans instead

I wonder if you would have to program in the new injectors if your not fitting old ones from old engine ?

Are second hand engines easy to source for them .

Thought of buying a used Mk5 Mondeo 2015 with 120,000 approx on the clock on ebay and is a bit worried now, so change of plans. I wonder whether the Mk4 mondeo 2.0 tdci 2014 is better mate? Old shape and not as good looking as Mk5!

What mileage has the broken engine done

What millege was on the blown motor alan

What’s the highest mileage you have seen in one of your taxies

that must be a £1000 Labour charge at a ford garage its a very big engine swap

How many miles on that duff engine Alan?

Can you let us know how many miles were on the engine?

👍👍

😎😎👄👄❤❤👰👨‍👩‍👧😀😀

Your estimate of 6 inches is a bit off.

Just for my understanding of the English language...." This engine is bollocksed" ????? Did I hear right? Write me the correct term please 🙄🧐

For 6 your old engine it's in bad state
