Ford Mondeo Powershift Oil & Filter Change ....Lucky Me !! 

Excellent video. I have a MK4 Mondeo with Powershift and had no problems with the transmission so far. First class mechanics and a beautiful woman. What a wonderful combination. Keep the videos coming.

Great video, thanks Alan. Just changed the oil and filter on our S-Max auto, found it almost impossible to access the filter (and the retention clip) without taking the nsf wheel and liner off, but straightforward other than that thanks to you. Cheers!

yes.. the beautiful Miss M,my day is now complete(oh and great video)

watched your auto gearbox oil change and found it very easy to do myself, mine as 7 lt of oil for the vignale and got my oil and filters etc from Ford Germany at £140 all in P+P, took 3 days and its Ford parts, also changed the engine oil etc. great and Hi to Mrs M LOL

Followed your instructions and changed the oil on a 2014 C Max 2.0 TDI which went perfectly. Car did have a gear change issue but the new oil and a reset of the engine light resulted in smooth gear change and a happy father 😀

Perfectly explained....world needs more people like you.

You and Monica always fun ,,, Cheers Alan

Have a 2016 180ps with powershift. Love it. Only had 1 issue where it would go into "limp mode" under heavy load. Turned out to be an oil sensor on the gearbox (changed under warrenty). This is my 1st owned auto and will never go back to manual, I tow with it and its superb. Though I had a VW passet 2012 DSG for a week and hated every minute of that.

I have a Ford Mondeo 2010 and I'm watching all your videos ,great job .Greetings from Romania

I have a Ford Mondeo Mk5 2016 2.0 TDCi BiTurbo 210 bhp estate. The model only comes with a Power-shift gear box. My local Ford dealer in Devon charged me £356.54 just to change the gear box Oil. You have now reassured me that the Oil is very expensive..I thought I was just being ripped off , but appears just only now on the Labour. Thanks for a great video..

Just had my Auto Box oil changed at the very same Garage and great service along with superb price..need to do some miles now. Gotta say i do love the Auto box such a pleasure to drive.

The video is very educational and I also like the humor on the presentation. Thank you

Huge thanks for doing this video bud! It's saved me about £450 for a so called auto-box service. Bought the oil/filter for £115 & did it myself & took about 2hrs. Saved me lots thank you! 👌🤟🤙. . .

Thanks Alan for the video. Seems like a simple job to do especially if you’re lucky enough to have hoist. Would be a much tougher job to do at home is think.

Good video . Only ever changed the fluid once in my life

Done the same job on a C max today Alan could only get genuine Ford, absolutely extortionate price, would not have taken the job on without your vid, cheers Alan

I'd just like to say that it's very refreshing to find a video where this oil change is done correctly!. Good work. Volvo recommend 40c temp for the drain and oil level setting (same gearbox 6DCT450 / MPS6).

Lovely informative video. I'll never do that job myself, but great to watch 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks mate. The info level check was what I was wondering about. I have only had some shuddering in first gear on a slight incline, a software update fixed it. It’s getting a bit thumpy now so I’m going to put some Redline Oil in to try and improve the shifting.

Thanks Alan, did mine earlier and your video came in properly handy. Took 6L to fill after the level check, which did make me question why i got more that 7 litres of filthy oil out !

When I was a service advisor at Ford it used to be £350 for the gearbox service every 3rd service which was 300 aswell . About 1 in 5 people actually spent the money and had it done

Hi Alan as a long time subscriber of your channel and especially after watching this video I rang your garage to book my newly acquired 2017 Fiesta in for a powershift gearbox service, only to be told that "we don't get involved with that and you need to go to a main dealer". Great.......

Great video. Just what I needed before I start the exact same job on a Focus for the first time. Terrible transmissions!

Morning Alan and Monica from the Irish Sea lol 😆 I’m just waiting to berth in Belfast and watching this video 😄 Always great viewing until the next time see ya 👋 Stevie 😎

Got a titanium x sport powershift brilliant gearbox so smooth never go back to a manual just have them maintained properly no short cuts.

Another good video from you mate

Great guide. Thnx. I am going to do this today on my s-Max

Power shift gearbox is fine providing you regularly change the oil. Great information Alan and love the drama from the offset.

Brilliant!! Thanks again for another amazing video!

THIS IS THE BEST EXPLAIN VIDEO THX ALOT

Brilliant video

Did this job myself on my driveway,same colour car,ink blue titx 2013. I used Morris oil and filter using old housing,grand total about 70 quid. Use it for taxiing about 600/700 miles a week,now on 135k and still drives like a new car,so I've been told.

Not a bad gearbox when its working although a read through various sites and forums on the internet might just put you off.Like most automatic gearboxes it will need regular servicing which most owners seem to neglect getting done and is often over looked due to expensive parts (mainly the cost of the oil)

Thanks to you man just saved few hundred bucks My mondeo 2014 mechanics running away like crazy Ooo dual clutch very hard to change oil go to ford which charge double,i did exactly how you done yours and got car which flying now Way better Big thanks

Ha ha. Loved Monika's impression of a dolphin, fabulous. As for making the customers pocket lighter, surely thats just to help improve the fuel economy (Less weight means less fuel used etc)

Hahaha. Ty sir. Very informative and entertaining love your character.

hate the power shift box your right what you say about the correct oil if you use the wrong typeit makes the plastic spacers disintergrate in the clutch pack making the car judder and the plastic magnet holders on the selecor forks to brake away and the car dosnt know what gear it is in. what i would sugest and i know its expensive but get a box service kit from ford they come with the back seal for the oil filter housing that is bolted to the side of the box and replacement bolts and gaskets for the mechatronic unit so you can clean the swarf from the selector magnets runs like a dream after. the reason for going through the gears befor hand is it puts the box in service mode opening all the solenoidsalowing the oil to compleatly drain. you do the same after as it will purge the air from the system and take it out off service mode. its the same prosses when changing the clutch pack

I've had an S Max for 3 years now with the Powershift fitted. Changed the oil every 37000 miles and not had any issues with it. Still very smooth.

I have a mk 4 and the powershift is great ,you have to service them on time and you will be fine ,great Vid bud :)

Ford had put 7L in at 120000 km which i had no idea i started having transmission limited happening at now 180000 dumped the 7 put 6.1 in and best its ever ran dont put 7L in these I feel alot of the problems stem from incorrect transmission oil amounts and wrong type of oil and i would like to say thanks for the video saved me having someone else doing the same thing.

I run a 2011 S-Max same engine and gearbox. Had the car 6 years. Local Ford Stealers will charge anything from £250 -£400 for the service, I pay £250 obviously but will probably do it myself now after seeing the video! Ford recommend servicing the powershift every 37,500 miles or three years. My car is coming up for 110,000 miles. You know when the oil needs changing as the clutches start to slip to the point where every change is an issue and in gear acceleration is met with major slippage, change the oil and the car is beautiful and smooth again, I love it and have no complaints, I also tow with it and again it’s fantastic. I would definitely have another. Thanks for the video 👍

Play her a song "monika ach monika dziewczyna ratownika" song That will please her Great video l Sad that I didn't know you earlier

I have a 2010 focus with the same powershift, I must say the best transmission on a budget car. My only advice, change the trans oil before 60k km. You will find it will last quite a long time.

It's not such a bad job but info is a bit scarce. There's a good volvo manual out there that tells you all about temps and gives you a bit more detail. Of course the award winning Badgertronix video on the powershift service covers all this 🤣🤣

Mmmmmm.....Miss M..... That looked a nice car and I enjoyed the video! I used to have a Citroen with an EGS box. That required many brave pills and when they ran out, I sold the car!😂 That was a gearbox with a reputation....😖 Anyway, thanks for the vid👍👍👍

Excellent Video thanks!

Another great video! Wet clutch Powershift gearbox are fine if serviced at correct interval but dry clutch Powershift gearbox are not great. Suffer from clutch shudder, jerky pull away etc. Only in Fiesta and Focus petrol I believe

I have changed transmission oil , thanks lot helps lot

Takes the filled plug out, to let gravity in. Priceless comment.

I’ve Done this twice now Best to use the Volvo service techniques for this dct it tells you the transmission temps etc Mine started to shudder at 44000 km so I just do it at 40000km intervals instead of the recommendation Of 60000 with a genuine ford Filter kit plus Reputable dct oil that has the correct ford specs

Hi Alan, great video as every one you make. I have a 2014 Ford Galaxy 2 ecoboost and I'm also about to change the pewershift oil. Great tutorial. I just don't like the dirty gloves on the steering wheel and gear lever. I always take them off so I don't dirty the car inside and reach the dirty steering wheel from the oil :-) but great video as always. You are the best

Sounds as though you like any colour Mondeo except red as you are fed up with red ones. I got my mk5 after having a blue hire one for a weekend, I wanted a red estate, wife wanted a blue hatchback, the compromise is that we have a metalic red (ruby red) titanium x hatchback :)

I’ve got an Octavia 2.0 tdi DSG taxi, Skoda recommend changing the transmission oil and filter every 40k but I’ve always stuck to 30k due to the stop start journeys. They also take 6 litres but it’s a fixed price of £189 from the actual dealer for parts and labour

Live in France and use local garage who does not want to do this job. hate the idea of going to Ford but might have to. Re the box, great. Just towed large caravan round Spain and Portugal, 3,000 miles with only one problem. 2 hours continuous driving including lot of hills at approx 55 mph, then turn off and immediately a 1 in 16 ramp up to campsite. car stopped and warning message "transmission overheating". waited a minute or so and proceeded slowly up the hill. No other problems but smell of hot oil that lingers, hence need to change oil. car has 95,000 miles on clock and don`t think oil has ever been changed. Good car, good gearbox. Hope that when time comes my sister-in-law will buy me another.

Super video 👍

Have the same gearbox and engine in my focus. The oil is expensive like hell. I must agree there is not much info on service requirements of these boxes. Recommended Service intervals range from 60 000 km to don't worry it is lifetime oil (I assume they hope you get rid off it early enough) did mine at 240 000 km first time and looked brand new the oil

I remember the first time I saw a Figaro and I was struck at what a great little car it looked. Nissan certainly boobed by not selling it over here. As for electric cars, I was watching Trucking Hell on Freeview the other night and a brand new electric/hybrid/whatever Audi caught fir on the back of a car transporter. When they got it back to the yard the recovery company had to submerge it in a skip full of water for a week because the batteries have a habit of going unstable and may explode!

Very good video!👍

very helpful video you couldn't be more right one I got to execute that on my mondeo IV 2008 I'm over here doing some research on it ... to find out you were snooping and decided to make a video about that very same subject haha not the same model but I bet it 's still a valuable piece of information . good job my boi !

Thank you, really helpful.

Good video Alan... 👍 I have a Mondeo sports 11 plate 2ltr Diesel Automatic with 80,000 miles...Bought the car a few months ago and noticed when under load i.e. going uphill the Rev counter used to ‘twitch’. Read local forums that suggested lowTransmission oil can cause this. So I had the Transmission oil and Filter changed and now it’s fine. Could OLD Transmission oil have caused this OR LOW Transmission oil, in which case does that mean I have a slow leak do you think?..... 🤔. Steve.

I've got this gearbox in my M5 2016. I'm about to service it for second time. To change oil in gearbox I was told to do it every 3 years but because of the cost to replace gearbox if it went wrong. I change oil every 2 years when I do engine oil and filter.

This is the video I've been waiting for. I've been looking at Mondeos for ages, I fancy an auto but I'm not sure of the drawbacks.

I had a 2.0 powershift C Max put about 20k a year on it for 6 years never had a problem

Great video thanks, no way am I paying Ford to do this and they want £450 - the genuine Ford oil and filter cost £179 from an specialist on eBay.

Good video.

I also have a 2.0 TDCI Mondeo Estate with the powershift gearbox. I do my own oil changes and I'm also disabled. (hence the auto box)... I love the Powershift transmission... Plus I love the Ford Mondeo Estate. I just don't know how I'm going to cope with an Electric car when the time comes. They are not big enough like the Mondeo Estate. Plus You CAN NOT Tow a Trailer with an Electric shoebox. So I will be servicing and keeping my Mondeos on the road with the 6 speed Powershift Gearbox until the Government come and drag my beloved Ford from my cold dead hands after 2030. Long Live the Ford Mondeo.

Hello Alan. Great channel for us Ford users 👍. I have done the oil change using your video on a mk 4 with my mechanic. I have now a mk5 and want to ask you if the procedure is the same. Țhanks again for your channel.

On a tin-x 2008 you have a switch to turn off The senses so you wouldn’t have to listen to the noise even when doing that gearchange operation

I was about to do the same as per this tutorial but I noticed oil leaking from the bell housing so sent it in to the dealer and turns out it was the seals were stuffed and needed replacement so had that done and a service

Hey Alan a very good vid again! Thank you ! Can you tell us a bit more about why the 2litre Diesel TDCi engine that is used on the Focus MK3 and Mondeo MK5 has DPF issues and is deleting and removing the DPF the right choise? Is it the style of driving, short runs , fuel qallity or else and how do you deal with this issue. I have the 1.6 TDCi Focus MK3 and never got anny issue but want to get the 2ltr 163 bhp one as next vehicle...... Cheers !

I have the same gearbox. 1 change mine every 3 years or thirty thousand miles. Total bill for parts for engine oil filter Derv filter. gear box oil and filter. O rings. Cost £280.00 from fords. For fords to do the full service was going to be over £700.00 pounds. I found doing the job my self was easy but I did have a pit I could use.

Hi alan thanks for the great video's you do I wonder if you could do some video's on the recalls as you are running a fleet of mk5 mondeos. With several recalls so I guess your company as had a few . Sump breach.battery monitor sensors would be of interest. Thanks

A very informative tutorial. Thank you for your advice, most helpful. Just hope it works. I'm getting warning display on the dashboard, transmission limited, hopefully a gearbox and filter oil change shall rectify the issue. Just one question what is the model of the meyle kit that you used? I currently drive a 13 plate Titaniumx X BS.

Hi and thank youfor all the videos👏. I have a ford mondeo mk4 with the powershift. Iam thinking 🤔 to change the oil myself but I just have one problem the floor in my garage a bit incline so the car is not level. So iam wondering if i measure how many litres I get out and put exactly the same with out checking the level will that work or not? Iam thankful for the help.

Hello mr.Howatt,do i need to do som settings and calibrations to gearbox after changing the oil? Do i have to recalibrate gearbox to factory settings?

Great video as always.. Just an addition to this MK4 facelift, the first version, from 2007-2008 they had 2 types of automatic transmission. Guys this box is the 6DCT450, from Getrag in collaboration with Ford at that time. But there is another one from AISIN W. (AWF21) with classic torque converter which has no exterior filter to change, and requires ATF red oil (WSS-M2C924-A)... for those who are still driving an old Mondeo, like me :))).

Great helpful 👍

I love my powershift mondeo

My mrs has a focus 2.0 tdci powershift, full ford history 140k miles and no gearbox issues, gearbox oil change on that cost between £260- £280, however my mothers 2.0 EcoBoost titanium x sport mondeo is on 120k with no issues, gearbox did get serviced with incorrect oil by an independent tho and started juddering, oil was changed again at ford at a cost of £360 and its fine.....have to shop around with the ford dealers as costs vary it seams

Thanks for this amazing video. Really informative. I have a Ford Mondeo 2011 which hits sometimes at the first gear and reverse. And when coming to a stop. It changes gears smoothly otherwise. What do you think the problem is? I have already changed oil and filter but did not really help.

Ford powershift wet clutch are fine as long as they are maintained properly, which often aren't

I’m going to do this at home on the weekend but I only have front wheel ramps to get the car up how do I do the last bit leveling out the oil with the car not level on a ramp? Thanks appreciate the video

There's a much simpler way to check the oil level and is probably more accurate. As with any automatic box, pour your oil in and start the engine and leave it in park and fill until it reaches the level, that way the hydraulic circuits are already primed. I typically find they need about 7.5 litres for a service, I wouldn't rely on the amounts drained to be an indicator as I've seen plenty with hardly any come out! When they work these 'boxes are lovely and smooth to drive, however they're far from reliable due to poor design of the clutch pack which fail - hence the nickname "powersh!ts" 🤣

Alan Howatt what engine oil do you use in those MK4 2.0 diesel 2014 mondeo. I'm currently thinking about changes Formulat F to something 'better' ... best J

The Powershift transmission on these Mondeos/Kugas (6DCT450) aren’t the problem. The ones Ford had problems with are ones fitted to the Fiesta, Focus, Ecosport, BMax,(6DCT250) up to 2016. They had dry clutch packs and people who where used to driving automatics were driving them like torque converter autos and letting them creep along and holding them in Drive on hills. This made the clutch packs get hot and burn out almost like riding a manual clutch in a manual car. As the clutch packs got seriously hot the drive input seals would get hot and perish allowing gearbox oil to leak onto the clutch packs making them slip and eventually destroying them. The gears boxes are not made by Ford but a German company called Getrag, who make transmissions for other manufacturers.

So yes the powershifts have got such a bad rep that ford have had lawsuits and had to extend the warranty up to 10 years in some countries, only 5 in the UK. From what I've read it appears that the majority of faults were in the dry clutch versions fitted to the fiesta and focus models with the Mondeo having the wet clutch version. I think ford started fitting traditional torque converter auto boxes in the focus from 2016 onwards and also in the Mondeo from fairly recently. I believe the wet clutch ones are generally more reliable than the dry ones as long as they are maintained properly but still a complicated bit of kit.

فنان والله ❤

my mk4 is strange. when putting it in Drive or Reverse it takes like 2sec before it engage and it gives a smal jerk. IF i try to give throttle before 2sec it jumps like a kangaroo. I let a mechanic change oil but still same. What can be the problem? when it runs on the street all gears go in smooth. Its just from standing still when selecting D or R it feels like some delay

Love your VLOGS I work in Australia for a Mitsubishi dealership Mitsubishi Evo and ralliart have the exact same trans there bulletproof reliable but over here there hideously expensive to maintain $350.00AD just for the filter. Then another $250AD for oil the only reason I’ve heard that the powershift trans has a bad name is due to the sane use of name used in there dry clutch version behind the petrol variant the wet clutch one you serviced are so reliable and used in so many applications/manufacturers. Typical bloody Ford trying to claim something that’s not theirs and then stuffing their version of it up.

Hi Alan, newly subbed to your channel, wish I'd found you a couple of weeks back, you would of saved me a lot of heartache and work. I need to ask, Iv'e got an 11 plate 1.6 econetic, it lost teeth of the cam belt. I stripped it down (head off etc) it's all back together but won't start, could I possibly 180 degs out with the timing? Thanks in anticipation

Thanks Bro

Thanks

Hi, I need help, there is a malfunction of the Input Turbine Shaft Speed ​​Sensor. Where is the sensor located?

Wish you were my mechanic had my 58 mondeo serviced kept smelling fuel 2 days later go's up in flames on the motorway gutted had 250,000 on the clock never gave a days trouble in it's life 😩😡😠on a happier note I think miss m gets better looking every video 💕👍💞

Alan, can you give imput on a 2015 mondeo?? ato gearbox has paddlesand gear lever goes straight down to sport mode?

Great video as usual, do you recommend changing the oil on my manual ford gearbox.

Is it the same gearbox on the 2015 Mondeo's and is there a difference for petrol's?

Hi Alan, are these transmissions troublesome as some Ford dual clutch boxes were ? I would love to buy 177kw Petrol mondeo but the transmission puts me off,

Can you help please Alan . Need to do gear box a oil change. My 2010 Mondeo 2.0L Titanium x sports auto box either has Mercon V or LV, i cannot find a identify number , the vin doesn't help. Mike
