Ford Mondeo Mk3 Diesel Filter Replacement (How To)

So the injector replacement although much needed, didnt solve the issue.. Lets do the fuel filter and see if that fixes it! Enjoy

The Mondeo now runs fine, the injectors DID need changing even though they were not the only issue..

[@otmaroti]

The Savage Garage did this fix the problem? Just started having the same issue with the light a few days ago and I remembered about your video. So I've looked up the video but I can't find an answer in the comments, if this fixed the problem or not yet. Cheers!

[@bigkification]

Glad to hear your car runs fine. These engines are shared with Peugeot / Citroen and are some of the most reliable units that you can buy. That being said, you do need to service it properly. Fuel filters should be replaced every 2 years MAX. I change mine every year (does give a slight MPG improvement which pays off). If you don't, you can cause fuel starvation. Fuel injectors don't need replacing because the diesel return lines are uneven - it can indicate a fault but it's not a fault in itself!

[@leeprice386]

i changed TDCI camshaft sensor for 20 quid for a grey one (better then black one ) runs fantastic now .also you might want to watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3TPd4OIh8dsrM0 for fuel pump valve change easy job

[@hiddenlengths1750]

just found this video, and the injector video too. i have just begun to have this issue. ran diagnostic and came back with multiple intake codes. mechanic told me my turbo was no good, not worth replacing, just scrap the car. the car runs and drives perfect. this light comes on intermittently and enables limp home mode, either when cold or under load. i already bought oil, air and fuel filters to do a little service as i noticed all the fluid levels were low and needed filling. i was pricing up new turbo, injectors, glow plugs etc when i came across this fuel filter video. you may have saved me thousands if this fixes my car too. i have it booked in for a full engine carbon clean due to its high mileage and the fuel filter will get fitted before this. thank you my brother. bless you x

[@Sickiey]

Ive done a lot of the same things on my x-type simply by following your videos ERG, Injectors filters,, So grateful Keep them coming

[@williamwhitmore1]

Thank you for this video, I change my filter every year but had forgotten how to remove the clips., job done.

[@jonspoard8416]

Thanks for the guide. Worked perfect on my jag.

[@themechanic8503]

If you still have problem most likely your variable geometry turbo is sticking. You can remove it and clean it out with special cleaning kit. You can research how to do if your unsure. 👍🏻

[@wollywotsit]

Cut old filter open

[@9598rambo]

Good vid as always good practice to change filter when changing injectors as some injectors warranties invalid if filter hasn’t been changed :)

Nice job, those brackets are a right pain.

[@karenhill820]

Mine always comes loose. Obviously a common thing

[@garethtaylor8018]

Noobie question I bought mk3 if the neighbour he change the diesel filter now the car starts..sounds rough and drives not far though the engine cuts off and could it be that he did not prime or bleed the system?

[@Malcie007]

Good little vid replace mine today after watching this vid, engine started up ok

[@charlessmith1772]

What worklight was that if you don't mind? Is it rechargeable?

[@JamesAllen300]

There is a spring catch that clips on to the top left of the filter. Mondeo's also only run properly with a Bosch or Delphi filter. It's a Delphi fuel system in these and other filters don't do the same job that these 2 do.

[@scotty87able]

just changed mine new ones a delphi

[@damiankras6580]

You make it look soo easy.

[@hondaaccord5911]

what track is playing in the background?

[@MrComputerSaint]

I have this problem. I replaced the filter and needs changing again as the fault has come back. on the ODB read out it says it is P0251 i think, and clears if I restart the engine. My problem occurs 99% of the time at around 1750rpm in 4rd gear or above (so motorway speeds) (sometimes in 3rd gear) when using a lot of throttle. I think it's the fuel pump that disintegrates (over time) and then lttle pieces of metal get stuck in the old filter. When there is fuel going through there isn't enough fuel getting to the engine, because of the partially blocked fuel filter. Although I've not done my injectors, I need to do them and the heater coils.

[@jaket9198]

Mates got the 2.2tdci titanium x when he tries to boost it past 2k revs its starts to pull back and nearly go into limp mode coil light flashes too

[@LewisWells-1]

How is the Mondeo running now seven months later? Curious!

[@adamvida5870]

I’ve heard from someone that have to be vacuumized before start the car. But you changed the filter and runs the car. So what? :) I change it and runs? Do I have to fill some gasoline in the filter ? Thanks

You done well for that to start first time and stay running. Replacing them fuel filters can be a pig to bleed afterwards.

[@anon9685]

Thank you mate 👌👌

[@karenhill820]

Mine has been juddering especially when working it. Thought it could have been injectors, my mechanic told me to change the fuel filter before anything. Will be changing today or tomorrow, I have everything crossed.

[@blingking501]

You know what your doing, but check you have put the fuel filter on the bracket correctly and non of the fuel lines are rubbing on the engine. Bloke who serviced my 2.2 tdci didn't put the fuel filter in correctly causing the fuel lines to rub on the engine. Fuel leaked onto the alternator, car cut out in a busy motorway on a Friday at 5pm.

[@scottbrown1014]

Nice video

[@robstevens9667]

Helpful 👍 thank you 🙏

[@pault040210]

I liked this video even though I know it's the high pressure pump and it's about to go bang...

[@robtaylor4462]

I really can't believe you didn't change the filter at same time as injectors as most places on the commercial ones won't warranty them without etc. I hope it sorts the problem, but even so you say 3 years since it was last done, that's far too long

[@paulfreeman6463]

hi ya folks i have a 2 liter tdci ive had the coil light come on and it goes into limp mode if i accelerate in a certain manner at a certain revs , ive just change the fuel filter as that was one of the codes it thrw up , but i did it with a friend who said it didnt need priming with fuel so now it wont start , what do i look at now as im thinking it might be the lift pump in the tank , but should i try filling the filter up with fuel first ? im thinking its the lift pump because i cant hear it as i turn on the igtition , but ive never heard it since ive owned the car , , but now i have put air in the system , so maybe it is the pump ???? help me lol

[@superseven220]

I've changed these filters loads of times and I can tell you, despite what anyone else says you will be very lucky to start the car after if you don't fill the filter first or use a vacuum pump to draw the fuel up. There is a hand primer on the engine but it doesn't work very well

[@owenthomas3]

If this don't work could it be ecu?

[@gmorgan894]

i changed my filter after i broke down ( no fuel ) turns out it wa sthe fuel pump regulator , now i have an air lock in the common rail and sensor says prssure too high too start...iv'e ben advised by a diesel specialist to tow the car gently as you can burn out the starter motor by just cranking it over for ages ? any help plz...what do u think >?

[@PERRECTUMpl]

Don't crank it! You will ruin high pressure pump and injectors. There is special air-removing procedure of Common Rail Fuel Injection system. You do this by connecting car to computer with software (Forscan extended version has this feature I guess) that supports this procedure. You never start engine through this procedure, only ignition on when program says it to. Never ever start engine after fuel filter exchange, even if you filled up filter with diesel. It doesn't matter. There will always get some air inside fuel lines and if you crank the engine to start, you CR pump will work without lubrication from fuel, which is simply very costly in the end (CR pump regeneration/exchange and injectors replace, whole fuel system should be cleaned after this from any metal particles). In this video (with all respect to author, I love his other mondeo videos, great job!) we can see how you shouldn't do that (starting engine without air-removing procedure).

[@andrewmason8844]

A lot of people seem to have trouble with tdci engine had a mk3 mondeo for 10 years with no trouble I’ve found the best way to keep them running trouble free is service more often than stated and only use quality parts don’t but supermarket fuel in them its cheep for a reason it’s shit and they need driving hard now and then to keep every thing moving they don’t like pottering around on short runs mind you this pretty much goes for all modern diesels

[@scotty87able]

[@leewatts8656]

Mine fell off its perch when I did the alternator last year its been dangling ever since

[@vtiniall]

Mine is acting at the moment 2005 2.2 TDCI ST, rough ldling and under load, the coil come on and limp mode. I was told the top three areas to look for is the Crank position sensor, Which will arrive today, if not then after watching this good video, I will change the fuel filter. The Injectors where changed already about 4 months ago. So I hope it is not them fouling.

[@muddyfunker3014]

Niall Reid Check voltage coming out of map sensor at different engine loads too, this can cause issues.

[@Montdawgy]

Have any luck mate? I've got similar issue

[@cb3580]

I had the same issue. Coil light under load. I have the 2.2TDCI engine. Always happened on a slip road or when I was powering up hill in Wales. I took mine to a diesel specialist after several garages failed to find the problem. They ran tests and decided it was the fuel pressure regulator. I only have the issues now if the engine is cold and I’m asking to much of it but it does still happen on the odd occasion. Fuel filter was tried with no luck either.

[@cb3580]

macieyek1 I still have this car and have had it for 4 years. Surely it would’ve died by now if a fuel pump or injector was on its way out ?

[@AlanRafferty]

Camshaft sensor. Sits under the fuel rail at the front of the engine. Buy a Ford one. 8mm ratchet. 60 second job.

[@AlanRafferty]

I changed mine to a cheaper one recently, and the car immediately started stalling under load.

[@cb3580]

Alan Rafferty thanks. Will bear that in mind if the car plays up again.

[@jjmmjj9999]

I've got a 2.2 and sometimes coil light comes on and turbo completely stops... no power and much deeper tone. It happens very randomly, sometimes a brisk acceleration to 85, but other times i can drive it flat out at 130 with no issues... othertimes from a start it'll come on and have to flick ignition on and off multiple times. Ive got a bit of white smoke on startup so assuming injector/s weeping possibly or worn out? I've got a hybrid turbo on, exhaust, panel filter, intercooler and boost pipes, brand new clutch and DMF so want to sort the remaining issues before remapping and enjoying it to its full potential..

[@brendanbradyfan3589]

Someone told me diesel filters need changing every 10k or less to Prevent issues this maybe proof that information is accurate and maybe even a fuel tank clean out every once in a while (depending on circumstances) but these Mondeo Delphi systems aren’t the most reliable so fingers crossed for you it remains working

I think the tddi (pre facelift) had the lift pump as you say next to the tank but when they changed to tdci they got rid for some reason, shame really. I used the partners diesel corsa to fill the mondeo filter, ran a pipe from her filter to mine and just flicked the ignition on. Otherwise a 50mm syringe works a treat.

[@howardevans6302]

Word of warning, this Mondeo does NOT like aftermarket patent-part fuel filters. Only use a Ford or high quality replacement, it's a false economy to save money here, as your car won't run properly.

You never did say how much those recon injectors were ? Glad to see your using MANN filters, best filters out there.
