Ford Mondeo Mk4 Jonah Engine .... Final Chapter

[@daveg9096]

Amazing videos Alan My mk4 ex lease car has same 2.0l engine Just clocked 200k 48k of them I’ve put on them in 2.5 years I’ve owned it It’s had a new clutch flywheel and all the trimmings at 157k and serviced regular between 8-11k So far so good it’s been spot on No black smoke and plenty of power I honestly can not find a fault with it Just hope it continues for many more (You have proper talent for making these videos mate) 👍🏻

[@mikebailey783]

@Montgomery Burns - I'm bloody well in love with my 2L mk4 diesel. It's a beast. 103k and I've had it since 94k (I'm just always worried that some of these 'issues' are going to happen to it!)

[@petermastenbroek5264]

Looking at all the hassle and costs of replacing the broken parts, you absolutely made the right decision to replace the whole engine, far quicker and most likely in total a cheaper outcome. Thanks for this great video. Peter.

I can’t get enough of this channel.

[@soundsdigital]

When the valves go straight into the cylinder like that, the force of the pistons will snap rockers rather than bend the valve. Check all the rockers though. Had a cam belt go, one rocker snapped, but 6 more had cracks in. I've never seen any vehicle Autodata didn't call interference, and technically, snapping rockers does cause interference.

[@TK42138]

Your videos are always entertaining and informative. Right decision to swap the engine when you have to factor in vehicle downtime. A taxi ain't earning if it's stuck in the workshop.

[@Chris_905]

Don't kick your self bud you made the right choice there !

[@alan4x]

lol, cheers

[@rowanwynne4601]

I had a 2.0l tdci 2008 mondeo in my work shop and the cam belt snapped and took off the head to find out only 12 of the 16 rockers had snapped and there was no need for the head off as it was perfect, it must be designed that the rockers are the week point . thanks for you video's there good

[@paulflanagan4995]

Your some boy Alan! Seriously though, love the vids-i've been looking a mk4 mondeo for some time and came across your videos-you are a genius!

[@alan4x]

lol thank you

[@alasdairreed4370]

Alan ,On the miracle valve survival situation . There was some talk on an Australian Peugeot (Aussie Frogs) forum a while ago about the rocker arms being almost sacrificial in the tdi engines . A few people claimed to have seen timing belt failures that just resulted in broken rocker arms rather than the whole catastrophe. I think a member had an engine fail looking for a spare engine was advised to check it out before junking the engine. Whether by design or accident it seems it does happen.

[@alan4x]

this is a good example i had of broken rockers kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoumhqWndqmKiJI

Is there a way of cleaning the carbon deposits on the exhaust outlets, have taken the cams and chain off, but would like to avoid removing the head just to clean the carbon deposits.

[@zzhughesd]

Alan. Help !!!!! I’ve a MK4 2.0 Petrol. Started mid firing . Three sparks. Drenched in oil upto top socket !!! Only one. The first to left was dry. Others so bad . Is this what I think it is. Rocker? Or. Poorly filled

[@alan4x]

sounds like your rocker cover gasket is leaking oil into the spark plug apertures

[@zzhughesd]

@@alan4x that’s what I thought. But oil was like sunflower oil. This bit tricked me into thinking bad pouring former owner

[@ryanj0076]

Hi just wanted to ask.. I have a focus with the same engine.. Mine doesn't want to start unless you use quick start.. Once she starts she drives perfectly.. I replaced the fuel filter fuel pressure control valve, tested fuel pressure sensor.... I just can't figure it out.. Any idea mate?

[@sulze1]

Sorry for my bad english but i dont understand why is the sprocket breaking off the camshaft and why does break the piece from the camshaft near the high pressure pump?

[@alan4x]

it is a design fault on the camshaft, over time that part of the camshaft becomes fatigued and causes the drive to spin on the camshaft under the strain of rotating the high pressure fuel pump

[@jaggass]

I don't know what happened to the DW10 engine. It was really quiet in older Pug's like the 206, 306, 406 etc then when fitted to Mondeo's,turns into tanks. The same thing when you fit the 2.0 TDCI in a Jag X-Type.

[@duncanmurrant7364]

Hi Alan. Iv learnt so much from all your videos great stuff, thank you. I have one of the engines in my 2007 Galaxy. So far with 142000 miles has been really good however recently when starting the engine from hot or cold the car I can hear for a split second what sounds like a cam chain rattle, the sound dissapears straight away when started and running. The car runs well, still gets hight 40`s the the gallon. From your experience are these chain tensiones prone to fail ? many thanks.

[@alan4x]

no those tensioners are not prone to fail as long as the engine has had the correct oil changes ..might be worth replacing the oil and filter first , cheers duncan

[@duncanmurrant7364]

@@alan4x Thank you for your reply Alan. Funny you should say that Ive just done has you suggested today, I change the oil & filter every 8000 miles anyway it does appear to have sovled the problem.

[@alan4x]

@@duncanmurrant7364 excellant, i have had oil filters in the past which was causing a delay in the oil getting around the engine and causing a rattle on start up

[@axores20]

I did ask for it thanks for making this upload. U are the man 😉 excellent video like always.

[@alan4x]

hi, yes you did..your right..it needed to be done lol

[@mcqueenfanman]

That engine had pretty horizontal valve angles which means a low chance of pistons hitting open valves. Thats pretty rare for a 4 valve per cylinder engine.

[@mickramo498]

Brilliant Alan

[@onsight2822]

Another great video 👍

[@alan4x]

thank you

[@paulricketts2863]

hi Alan, i have a 1.8 td endura engine 98 ,rebuilding it and wondering if you have any vids on it,its a bitch to get parts for as i live in nz and there are none here,only auto doc in germany has the bits

[@alan4x]

[@anatolibrack1435]

Supper. Gut gemacht 👍

[@paulbarton-rossall7256]

Hi Alan, Just a question, my mk4 mondeo keeps cutting out and it's come up as a crankshaft sensor. Could you tell me where the location of where it sits and the ease of fitting. Cheers Paul

[@alan4x]

its just to the left of the crankshaft pulley, held on by one 8mm bolt...easy to replace... probably best to remove drivers wheel to get access

[@paulbarton-rossall7256]

@@alan4x many thanks Alan

[@omegamanRA28]

My timing belt snapped on this engine and only the 16 rockers bent or broke. No valves were harmed. Rockers are the weak point. $70AUD dollars later, replaced rocker. Plus the belt, blah blah..

[@alan4x]

thats interesting to know, thanks

[@phantomwalker8251]

took mine in for new belt/seals,cam leaking,came back ticking,mech said sell it buy toyota,i said i just bought this you fucked it,why,?,cos you like toyotas,??.car cost $1k,belts & shit $600,other 2nd hand body bits $500, just bought new drilled rotors/pads ceramic,$600, why the hell would i sell it.or now,dump it.cant drive it,thanks b&r mechanics. s.a. i could of done it myself but too work busy.,should of waited..

[@nathandcruze8507]

omegamanRA28 - where did you get the rockers from for that price?

[@TheFuneralDirector]

I loved this series of videos there's not much out there on this engine .... could you do just one more video of inspecting, stripping and cleaning an hydraulic tappet please .... Regards Andy

[@alan4x]

lol, i will see what i can come up with

[@TheFuneralDirector]

Nice one

[@TheDaf95xf]

Lovin your videos Allen 👍🏻

Hi Allen I love the videos keep up the work.

[@alan4x]

thank you

[@joshlf821]

My timing belt on 2.0tdci stripped teen will the engine be fixable ?

[@alan4x]

yes, it will probably have broken some or all of the valve rockers..i have never had a bent valve on one of those engines

[@gerwynrees9870]

By the way it’s 234k on same injectors and turbo. Going like a good un

[@Badgertronix]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing

[@alan4x]

cheers

[@jeremycubs8331]

Are you saying this is a bad engine? Coz I own a galaxy 2014 with this engine, I was told it's pretty reliable, is this true? Only got 47k miles and nothings been wrong since.

[@alan4x]

Icansee u Lol. Yes it is a very good engine. Don't worry. The whole Jonah bit is just a joke about the car as it keeps going wrong

[@anthonyjohnpenders1608]

Really interesting video,great!

[@eldodos83]

Another interesting video good man

[@johniksushibar165]

breaking rockers is a GM trick, saves the valves and a pretty good idea in my book, BTW, what engine had the problem with the chrome coming off the rollers in the HP pump and mullering the whole system ?.

[@alan4x]

hi, i do know the vauxhall vivaro vans high pressure fuel pump on the diesel engines were notorious for breaking up and delivering metal fillings throughout the fuel system..

[@johniksushibar165]

[@simongard5270]

Nothing wrong with these engines if serviced regular.. mines on 133,000 original turbo, fuel pump and injectors.. Ford had there own 2.0tdci 130bhp in the Mondeo and it was like the Jonah engine.

[@Ad-gn8pl]

Did Jonah come to you new or was it a bargain second hand pick-up (seeing as every other car you show us is red! Lol) guessing you have a store full of bits and bobs stripped of expired stuff as spares? Great videos mate!

Hi Alan, in my 2011 galaxy when i was removing the hp pump ive pulled it a bit to quick and that coupling bit droped down, ive picked it up, but its square on one side and on the other its a bit round, i did put it back together , but i dont know which way it was supposed to be in, i did put it back in round side facing camshaft, did i put it in the right side or should i have put that in other way around? Thanks for your help

[@alan4x]

i have never noticed ... i have one of those couplings at work..will look closer tomorrow but i don't think it will make any difference which way round it is...i will get back to you

[@Aleksander9003]

Alan Howatt thanks

[@alan4x]

hi... i checked the drive lug i have but it is identical both sides...the pumps on these engines are all about the same so i don't really think it will matter what way round it goes

[@Aleksander9003]

Alan Howatt Thanks for your help, appreciate it;)

[@amwap12]

The rocker arm's are designed to break pal. It's a safety device against engine damage

[@alan4x]

german sheperd Thank you. I now know that on this engine which is a really good thing to know

[@amwap12]

@@alan4x a word to the wise though mate on reassembly make sure all the rocker arm's are sat correctly otherwise they'll fall off and smash everything to bits. I know that from experience

[@nemocap2958]

Wow!How come I missed this video?!Alan,what about timing chain tensioner and chain itself.Do I need to change them same as timing belt?

[@alan4x]

hi, the chain and tensioner should last the life of the engine as long as the oil changes have been done... you would only replace the chain and tensioner if the chain was to become noisey

[@nemocap2958]

Thank you so much Alan!

hi, i will do that, thanks, i poured freeing oil down all the inlet and exhaust ports and none of the valves leaked any fluid but to be sure i will check like you say
