Why did the mk5 ford mondeo 2l diesel engine seize 

yeah i noticed that..glad i was upwind🤣..next time i will wear goggles, cheers kazuyadog😁

lol thanks ghassan al farra🤣

Yarrrrrrrr

cheers john

yeah they certainly are a well built engine and lasts well if looked after

@@alan4x Are regular oil changes the best thing you can do to prevent dissaster?

@@bokibo87 every 10k mls /15k km oil changes are normal if you want to keep this engine running for life.

thanks r mc😊

a day lol...did you have the tool to fit the bushes..its a real pain without it

@@alan4x Hi Alan, yes had a similar tool to yours, Sealey, old bushes fell out! But had to cut and chisel out the outer rings. To be honest, I wasn't rushing..and I had to make my own tea!

thank you wagwarn fam

Thanks for the info!

cheers stevie, all is good thanks🤪🤪

thanks troy

thanks ben😊

Totally agree

hello my friend, hope all is good with you, thank you for the comment, appreciate it😀maybe see you soon in a live stream, god bless🙃

cheers plumbc007😊

thanks stuart

lmao😂🤣

@@alan4x i’ve got a ford kuga 2.0tdci with a rattling type sound would that be turbo or the cam chain tensioner?

Had several bmws with close to 500k....these mondog oil burners are good but there Achilles heel is fuel pumps and injectors!

My 53 plate Astra 1.7DTI is on 242k miles and still going strong on it's original engine (I've jinxed it now) :-P

@@matthewsedin8148 No Thanks

yes i am well impressed with these engines, well built😊

@@matthewsedin8148 serviced correctly using genuine parts and avoiding supermarket fuel I've got over 200k out of injectors fuel pump and egr valve, even on a mk3 mondeo tdci

cheers robert😊

cheers phil

thank you sir

some drivers are just dumbasses😂🤣

thanks i will look into that, i don't do many and usually cheese wire and a cutting knife do but occasionally i get a difficult one, cheers

thanks bormisha

thank you chris

your right about the oil pump sprung mechanism..i sure that car was well thrashed also🤣

@@alan4xHi Alan. Did you do any preventive oil pump swaps on the dw10 engines in the Peugeot expert vans? I have an Smax with the dw10 and I suspect there is a bearing noise from the oil pump. The chain is pretty loose also.

@@f.j.1942 hi. We had a number of 2012 Peugeot expert vans. We ended up replacing all the oil pumps as we had a few of the pumps develop a crack and lock up causing engine to seize. The oil pump chain is supposed to be loose btw

@@alan4x thanks for clearing that up. I have about 2cm of movement in total of the chain. Reason is i am searching for a deep frequency noise at around 2000 rpm, which i suspect is a chain. I already changed the cam chain, slider and tensioner. It also has a squeal when pulling from low rpm. No leaks anywhere. Has done aux belt and timing belt and all hardware, also the dmf, clutch and alternator. Also cleaned intake for soot. Changed the hydro engine mount as it was shot.

cheers qwenty😊yeah a diesel engine that is looked after should last well and these peugeot engines are pretty well built

cheers marinus..diesel engine oil gets worked harder than oil in petrol engines and does get black..the oil in this engine was cold but i would say a bit thicker and black than i would have liked to seen..it probably was due for an oil change

we don't have any 1.6 diesels but if we do i will certainly go over them

Ok cheers..

And 1.5 tdci, looking forward to see any detailed review about reliability and quality etc

🤪

the mk5 2l engine looks very similar to the mk4 2l diesel but there are significant differences..cylinder head design and injector placement etc. i avoid the 1.5 diesel..it is definitely underpowered compared to the 2l and prone to head gasket issues

cheers

Exactly why I like having an oil pressure gauge in my 2003 2.7 diesel jeep grand cherokee wj just passed 182000 miles, good to see great oil pressure on its engine. I change the oil and filter every 8000 miles, have done since I bought it on 142000 miles. Fuel filter changed in that time too.

these cars will flash a message on the instrument pack...(low oil pressure) and put the engine into low power mode..but its all upto the driver from that point🤣

thanks for that explanation..i do have to wonder whether the pump mount broke due to the pump locking momentarily ..thanks e83😊

@@alan4x Your the man when it comes to these Mills... My observations are based from working with other, older, chain driven engines. But to me it looks that way, doesn't look 'smashed' it's cracked which I'd tend to think meant a momentary impact, like a hydro lock, instant crack, but engine stopped before wrecking took place... Fascinating though, its like mechanical CSI 👌 Brilliant content though, can't wait to see what's up your sleeve next 👍👍

hi martin....we use the ford 0w/30 oil.supplied by ford for those engines...we replace the oil every 15k miles, which as they are taxis is usually about every 3 months

@@alan4x Thanks Alan, I also use 0/30 fully synth oil and change it at 12K, scares the hell out of me seeing the cost of even a minor repair on these modern cars. It's a good job they are generally very reliable compared to 40 years ago !

​@@alan4xHi Alan, sorry for replying to a 3yr old comment... I run 5w40 in my DW10s (BTED4 Euro 4) but they're in Peugeots. I've never liked the idea of a 30 in any high compression turbo engines, especially diesels. Turns to piss pretty quickly and I find it highlights any wear points in the engine. It would be interesting to do an experiment where you run just one of these on 5w40 and see if certain components hold up better. The timing chain guides for one would hold up much better imo, as they seem to be a common wear point. I will add that I also run Liqui Moly MoS2 additive in every engine I own, but I get there's a difference in personal vehicles and your examples being used as a taxi (warranty and not wanting extra expenses).

@@19jacobob93hi. If that works for you then great. I can’t experiment with one of the taxis here as I have left the job now but all the best to you.

@@alan4x Forgot you were in the Philippines now! Hope all is going well mate

your best getting a qualified mechanic to carry out that job

the top cam chain tensioners are becoming a worry..not had this on any of our mk4 2l engines with much higher mileage....the problem is in order to replace that tensioner involves a lot of time and would be a very expensive job..probably including all parts like new chain ...cam belt kit and gaskets etc would be around or above £1000

@@alan4x Thanks Alan, it did occur to me after posting just how much work would be involved when I thought on your other vids covering the Mk5 engine. As for trying to sell £1k of "preventative" maintenance to taxi drivers....esp when they keep driving even with engines rattling their fillings out !

I find 5w40 oil and 6k mile service intervals goes along way to prevent wear like that. 6k miles is way too expensive and inconvenient in a taxi though!

ok cheers

Do you ever hear about concerns?

not yet but you would need to remove the driveshaft..it would be a lot easier to get to the turbo from underneath by removing the subframe but not necessary...once all the heat shields are removed from around the turbo then it just unbolts from the head

the engine would have been in low power mode...the engine won't switch off altogether or the driver would have no control

Not sure for businesses, but private people purchasing a used engine from a business typically get an 1-2y warranty on it, if certain conditions on the engine installation are fulfilled. And it makes virtually no sense to buy a used engine without a warranty because the risk is too high.

I think you would be better off repairing that engine. You know its history and condition.

He probably had a spare sat around from a crashed one . He has loads of them mondeos

no not yet

Either a cardboard cut out draw a rough graph or your head and the bolt holes, stick the old ones in there as you remove and then for extras split them up into little plastic pots with labels. That works well for me!

@@ashleyburnett134 thank you I'll try them out

ashley answered that well..also having space to lay things out in order helps..where someone else isn't going to disturb it

Alan Howatt yeah also laying them out in order I tend to do that when I do clutches, put them in order under the ramp for the bottom bolts and the scuttle panel for the top bolts works a treat

hi michael, we use the ford supplied 0w/30 oil and replace it every 15k miles, which as these are taxis is around about every 3 months

In a taxi I guess 15k isn't too bad as its going to be basically running all day so doesn't have the temperature change of hot/cold which breaks down oils. I do wonder if prolonged stop -start sessions don't do the oil much good. Also depending on the running conditions another factor could be diesel in the oil from lots of normal DPF re-gens - I can imagine an urban taxi doing that a lot if the engine speeds are not maintained for a while. Difficult to get a measure of how often they'll do it. Airport runs wouldn't be an issue.
