Diff Flange Oil Seal Replacement, Ford Mondeo Mk5

[@TheDoRelian]

As always, great video. I admire the fact you find time to film all these while doing your job. I feel I could almost do what you're doing following your detailed presentations. Cheers!

cheers😜

[@robnulty9462]

Hi Andy, i can grab my nearside driveshaft and move it up and down in the box, feels like the bearing in the box is gone. I see others with the same massive movment in the box, what do you think? So if you grab the cup the spider bearing sits in and move it up and down you can see the play in the box. Cheers manual mondeo tdci 2.0 mk5

[@bartoszk4812]

[@MrNeutross]

I butchered this seal on my vlvo v70, glad I found your video on how to get it out properly

[@MilanDelacost]

Hi Alan. Great video on the gearbox seal 😆 Can't believe it I saw my first Steve's taxi today on the A1198 near Papworth lol 😂 I'm at the Cambridge university veterinary hospital off the A1303 with a mobile MRI scanner in my lorry watching this video on a apple 🍎 iPad hehe 😂 Cheers Stevie

Great help, can I ask where is your garage i have a noise problem on my mk7 fiesta that hard to locate

[@inflatablestone]

Thanks for the video. I just did this job on my Fiesta ST. Pretty sure the seal, and maybe even gearbox are the same.

Hi man, you are amazing, I have the same problem with my car and no mechanic could help me ... do you recommend me to change it myself?

[@robertgibson7716]

good clear video mate on how to do the job you would be a great instructor at the tec college for up and coming fitters lol

[@alan4x]

lol

[@ghassanalfarra8935]

Very true about carefully reinserting the drive shaft as the inner black seal is a simmering, which is a black rubber sleeve with a spring bracelet wrapped around it, if that spring bracelet accidentally comes off, you'll have to buy a new seal as there's no way in hell it'll sit back in place! .. don't ask me how I know 😖 Edit: That spring can be seen ignited @12:56

[@leedsguyuk]

Must have been very awkward filming the close up of seal removal & installation Excellent video Keep up the good work Alan

[@steverpcb]

Not as difficult as filming close ups of Monica !

Where did you get the bearing puller tool from Alan?🙂👍

[@kertolen1348]

Hello Alan! What is your opinion about the awd models? Is the read diff and prop shaft OK? If something goes wrong, how about repairs/services?

[@richardcallison1637]

Nice video! You certainly showed the old seal who’s boss😂

[@seanfinch8011]

Monika is proper good looking.

[@danieldw5644]

Hi Alan, it’s I’m watching your videos from Australia, I’m wondering if you can make a video about how to change the gear box oil? Thanks

[@alan4x]

hi daniel, i show a gearbox oil change on a similar box here kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6eudGB3j5x3oZI

[@oiyou5870]

Alan may I ask generally how do you find the reliability of the Mk5 Mondeo, thinking I'd replace my MK4 with the Mk5 1.5tdci.

[@steverpcb]

Alan has a video of Mk 4 v Mk5, no reliability issues between them, just that some things are easier on one than the other :)

[@gusguzmanjr.12]

Great info and funny as hell! Burn your problems away!!!

[@umairmohammed5702]

Can I ask Alan if your changing these seals on all of your fleet ?

[@alan4x]

only changing the seals that are leaking

[@caesar170988]

I think the mk4 mondeo takes 75w90 full sinthetic GL5 gearbox oil . You put old style monograde 75w gl4 in the mk5 ?

[@kevingoldbey7401]

How much gearbox oil does it take

[@johno349]

Hi alan, my car went in for a service and the drive shaft seals are misting, im guessing this is the issue i have fors want 300 quid for the job would you say thays a fair price?, other than that my car is spot in thank god, for

[@alualin8943]

Hi sir Will be the same drive shaft seal for focus 2013 1.6 tdci manual 6 gear?

cheers jamie

[@jimbojombo4464]

Literally thinking about selling my insignia and buying a Mk5 mondeo your like a online Haynes manual

[@Benedict-01]

If you don't have this special tool: I managed to remove the oil seal by using a big screwdriver on the outer metal edge of the seal and beat it toward its middle until it bend and squeezed together. Then I prised it out.

[@alan4x]

yes that will work

[@Aceofcakesuk]

If your seal is playing up you could try some mackerel or sprats! Usually calms it down...

[@t5jerry]

Like it, like it !!!!

[@andyc3856]

Gearbox oil is indeed foul smelling stuff. I found that out the hard way! I still hate having anything to do with it.

[@valontotaj6553]

Hello Mr. Alan. I plan to buy a 2018 Ford Mondeo 2.0 tdci Powershift 2018. I have a question ... since the Mondeo that I am planning to buy is manufactured in 2018 and has been in storage for over 18 months, could this be a hindrance in terms of proper functioning? And do I need to ask the dealer to first servicie the car, in terms of replacing the engine oil and oil filter as well as eventually the battery? Thank you very much...and greetings from Prishtina - Republic of Kosovo

[@alan4x]

such a new car in storage for 18 months should not cause problems such as seized brakes but an oil change would be a good idea

[@valontotaj6553]

Thank you very much for responding me mr.Alan. Cheers and just continue to make other great videos on MK V Mondeo

[@t5jerry]

where did you get that suction pump from al ????

[@boomshakalaka2275]

just buy a really big syringe and put a bit of aquarium hose in it, thats what i do and works a treat

[@TmarioD]

Good morning Alan! I have a question for you about the Mondeo MK5 with 1.5 TDCI engine. Your videos show that you mainly service a Mondeo with a 2.0 TDCI engine. Have you ever serviced a Mondeo or another Ford model with a 1.5 TDCI engine? Can you say something about this engine? Is this unit also recommended and durable as 2.0 TDCI, or is there anything to fear about it? There are opinions on the internet about a broken timing belt at a mileage below 100 miles or a broken head gasket? I will be grateful for all your opinions! Happy days!

[@alan4x]

hi. i would avoid the 1.5 engines, firstly they are noticeably underpowered and the few that i have had dealings with have had head gasket problems.. i don't think much to them. i would get a 2litre..there may be parts that will require replacement but the engines themselves are pretty nippy and and almost bullet proof

[@TmarioD]

@@alan4x Thank you very much for your answer! It turns out that it is better to be interested in the 2l engine. When there will be time to replacing parts, it always remains to follow your channel :) Greetings from Poland!

Alan you could have asked Monikaaaa to "wipe the end" for you.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

ALAN I HAVE A FORD FOCUS MK3 TITANIUM X DIESEL MATE I HAVE ONE OF THEM TOOLS FROM MACHINE MART ALAN IT STILL WONT COME OUT

[@steverpcb]

That looks even worse than having to remove a motorcycle fork oil seal, the normal method for those is to screw a large "self scraping chew" into the seal and to use a claw hammer to pull it out :) I always give everything a coating of grease for protection when dealing with seals. You should have done this at xmas and had Monica show you how to use an old Turkey baster to refill the gearbox :) When your wife complains about the smell of gear oil and demands to wash them, you tell her to wash them on their own, she ignores the advice for everything in that load LOL The difference between a normal PC and Apple is if you want them or you to decide the specifications of it :)

[@alan4x]

lmao😜

[@gs425]

2 points I'd like to add.... 1. Real work is done on pc s. Apple is for play. 2. Why is it that even with synthetic versions of gear oil it still stinks of rotting vegetables???

[@marklittler784]
