MK5 Ford Mondeo/Ford Fusion rear brake pad replacement

[@8o8ertmtb]

You don't need the diagnostic tool to put the brakes in the service mode. 1. Set the ignition to ON. 2. Press and hold the accelerator pedal and place the EPB switch to the RELEASE (downward) position. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and EPB. 3. Set the ignition to OFF then set the ignition to ON within 5 seconds. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch. 4. NOTE: The EPB system will be deactivated, preventing parking brake application until service has been completed and service (maintenance) mode has been deactivated. The yellow EPB indicator will be illuminated and Maintenance Mode will display on the message center. NOTE: When replacing rear brake pads in service (maintenance) mode, the brake caliper piston must be compressed into the caliper housing. The brake caliper piston does not have to be rotated while compressing the piston. Set the ignition to OFF then release the accelerator pedal and EPB switch. To deactivate do the same but pull the brake switch up. Good video, im shortly going to be doing mine. Only last 19k miles on the standard pads.

[@alan4x]

that is very interesting to know, thank you

[@sorin7907]

My question is where can we find and buy that device?

[@easyka]

@@0067jon no it works with european Mondeo's too

[@ricoreyes6044]

Thanks, this method worked on my German spec mk 5

[@iancarter2112]

Great info this should hopefully help me change the rear pads on mine. I'm on 43k for the original pads. MOT has said they are thin. Fronts I can understand but not the rears

[@WalkersWoodWork]

Bloody legend mate. I used your videos for the front and back. I used one of the comments on the video to get the brake calipers to retract using the car. Thank you!

[@michaelmcghie6607]

Good video Alan, have watched them all now, thanks! Couple of additional notes after doing this myself: 1. The ignition sequence to enter EPB mode doesn't work on mine - might be the keyless start system 2. Forscan and an OBD2 reader does work (modified elm327 with MS-CAN switch is needed - £16 off ebay) 3. The master cylinder reservoir is small, keep an eye on it when winding the pistons in so it doesn't overspill - I had to syringe fluid out 4. The calipers have a plastic back to them which would be damaged by a G-clamp if more force than usual is needed. I recommend using the wind back kit with the flat plate instead. The pads aren't side specific like the front pads are. 5. It is only the metal pad element from the anti-squeal that needs transferred to the new pads (i got confused here for a second) 6. The slider pins shouldn't be greased because they are stainless and won't rust anyway. grease will just attract dirt here and wear them out. 7. Grease the wheel hub before putting the disc on. Not sure how long the wheel bearings last but don't want to ruin a new set of discs if the bearings go shortly after (i'm at 55kmiles). Same for a smear of grease on the wheels to stop them seizing on - I had to hammer mine off with a block of wood. 8. nice and easy procedure, just the EPB service mode which complicates things!

[@Izlaseish]

Dear Michael, how in Forscan you can get EFB in maintanance mode?

[@peterrogan6299]

Hy Alan just a comment regarding the use of the Dedicated scanners used ? My 2015 Mondeo 2.lt turbo diesel was easy to do with no scanner, i googled it and up popped this 1. set the ignition to ON. 2Press and hold accelerator pedal and place the EPB switch to the RELEASE (downwards/) position. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and EPB, 3 Set the ignition to OFF, then set the ignition to ON within 5 seconds. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch. 4 The EPB system will be deactivated, preventing parking brake application until service has been completed and maintenance mode has been deactivated, The yellow electronic parking brake indicator will be illuminated and maintenance mode will display on the message center ( Change Pads ) Then Deactivate 1 Set ignition to ON. 2 Press and hold the accelerator pedal and place the EPB switch in the APPLY (upwards) position, Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch, 3 Set the ignition to OFF, then set the ignition to ON, within 5 seconds, Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch. 4 Release the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch, job done all the best from Western Australia, Pete the pom,

[@0067jon]

You can retract the epb parking brake using the free Forscan program on your laptop in the service mode settings. Just make sure you have an ELM USB adapter that has a hs/ms canbus switch and set it in the ms position. This worked fine on my 2015 Mondeo 2.0 tdci Titanium.

[@ihsanal-hanafi4262]

Hi. Could you please explain how to use the program. I really need to do this on my 2016 Mondeo 2.0 tdci Titanium and I'm completely new to electronic brakes. I just need to replace the brake pads quickly.

[@0067jon]

@@ihsanal-hanafi4262 Download the free forscan program to a Windows laptop. Purchase a obd2 elm 327 USB plug in reader with a HS /ms can switch Plug it into the laptop and obd socket on the car . The rear brake service mode is on the forscan program. Think the can switch on the reader has to be set at the m/s position from what I can remember from last time I used it.

@@0067jon Hi. It was a little while ago, I did manage to work it out in the end, it was pretty much exactly as you've mentioned.

Hi Alan, I have a faulty front parking sensor on a 2017 mondeo mk5. Can you do a video on replacing the sensor. Thanking you in anticipation of your response

[@alan4x]

sorry can't help at moment as I am living abroad

[@walshedav]

My Mk5 just failed the NCT test here in Ireland (MOT Equivalent) Car has done 98,000kms and is from late 2015. Said I need new pads and discs. Do you know the thickness that below which discs need to be replaced please. Great video and I just need to figure out how to do it without a diagnostic device.

[@walshedav]

And while I’m at it is there a warning indicator to say the rear pads have worn out.

[@alan4x]

no sensor on the rear i know about apart ...i sure the ford pads have a scraper to hit the discs and alert you but you can shine a light through the rear wheels and see the pads quite easily

[@sorin7907]

My question is where can we find and buy that device?

[@skywalker070369]

Hi Alan,great video as normal.Have you have a option on the pads and discs, I’m a taxi driver with a 2017 2.0 auto mk5 mondeo as was going to replace with brembo discs and pads but a couple of forms I have read haven’t been impressed with these,any thoughts please and thank you

[@andyottley]

Hi Alan, just sorted rear pads and disks. My calipers wound inwards and not pushed back. Do they vary on models n years? Mine is a 2016 2.0ltr diesel estate? Plus never used the service mode just took the parking brake off and pulled the multi plug on the calipers just incase the car decided to nip my fingers. All ok...

[@alan4x]

never did it that way but if it worked then great

[@loyndsy]

Merry Christmas Al, have you had any of these rear calipers binding?

[@alan4x]

have had a few, sometimes if the discs are worn it can cause them to bind, happy new year

[@loyndsy]

Yes I've stripped it and taken the motor off the caliper and put some lube in the hole in the dust cover and worked the piston to and frow and it freed up. I reset the park brake spindle and refitted the motor and all good. New pads to fit and save up for a new caliper.

[@darrenpage2231]

Alan, quick question , my 2019 has this type of parking break system, is this the same ? As I need to swap the pads out, they have done 105000 from original 😮

[@alan4x]

Yes it will be the same system. There are a few videos on KZbin showing how to put the calipers into maintenance mode without the need for a scan tool

[@keithatherton6568]

Do you need to have a scan tool if you want to do it yourself is there a way or does it have to be done by a garage Thanks Alan

[@RCReplays]

Can yo buy the anti squeal plates on their own? Mine like the scream and don't think they have been fitted to new pads

[@lanehogger1532]

Pads on some cars seem to last ages these days. My old 14 plate Astra 100k on the rear pads and my wife’s old 09 plate Leon did 80k of around town driving on the rear pads. However her new MINI cooper goes through rear pads every 14k due to sensors that are set too stingily and set off warnings when there is plenty of meat left.

[@supertelegattone1000]

Good videotutorial Alan! Thank you so much! What about front brake pad and disk? Have you ever upload a video?

[@domianmuller8957]

I like your style I would like that in Germany too thanks for many tips

[@stephenhampson8119]

Hi Alan.great video as usual,just one quick question,Do you pump the brake pedal before or after you take out of service mode?

[@alan4x]

only pump the brake pedal once you have taken the calipers out of service mode

[@stephenhampson8119]

Thanks Alan,gonna be doing discs and pads this weekend on the rear of my mk4 galaxy,just asking do I put in service mode with the handbrake on or off ? Cheers

[@alan4x]

@@stephenhampson8119 hi, you put the callipers into service mode with the handbrake off

[@the_retired_mechanic]

Do you switch the ignition off once you have put it into service mode. Will that will disconnect the scan tool and cause the service mode to be confused

[@alan4x]

it is perfectly fine using a snap on solus to switch ignition off once in service mode..i always switch off ignition and when ready to take out of service mode switch ignition back on and all has worked fine

[@stewartjeffrey602]

Alan does the cap on the master cylinder need to be off before i push the pistons back

[@markusmichalski6315]

Hi Alan, can you let me know the torque for the two types of screws, please?

[@wullieg87]

Alan me again 😂 the rear pads are extortionate. However using juratek £22 I’m only getting 12k out the aftermarket pads. Are you still getting good mileage out the Ford originals ie 90k? £82 I can get them for from Ford on a discount. These taxis are torture and I’m not always around as I’m an engineer on a ship and as you know the drivers don’t care 😂.

[@deancrudgington1304]

Hi Alan great video. I have a 2015 mondeo have bought some rear genuine pads but they gave no adhesive backing, is it ok just to clip existing shims on to them. Thanks.

[@alan4x]

yes the metal shims are anti squeal shims so put them on your new pads

[@deancrudgington1304]

Hi Alan , I have noticed the caliper piston has 2 notches to fit a wind back tool into. Having watched a few videos on the pad change mostly from similar age Ford Fusion's they are using a wind back tool to retract the piston. Will the piston on all UK Mondeo's you have worked on just push back as I will be changing the rear pads on my 2015 Mondeo in the next few weeks. Thanks.

[@alan4x]

hi, as far as i know.. uk/european spec mondeos with an electronic parking brake will need to have the calliper actuators entered into maintenance mode... then the calliper pistons will push in (not wind in)

[@0067jon]

Great, thanks for your help.

[@Bandits_At_3_o_Clock]

Thanks for this video. Could you do one for a brake fluid change on the same vehicle?

[@detailingdiaries6562]

How do the Mk5 brakes compare to the Mk4? I've just upgraded my car, but the brakes feel really weak. I'm not sure if they just need new pad (or worse) or if it's a known difference between the 2 models?

[@alan4x]

hi, never had any complaints with the mk5 brakes....if the pads are low and not so good material might be best to have them checked

[@piotrkasinski1929]

Hi, need help with my Mondeo. After changing rear brake calipers and brake pads parking brake still need servicing. Why I see this message? Brakes been changed in service mode bleeding after changing brake fluid. Maybe broken parking switch? What else I have to check?

[@alan4x]

the parking brake switches are very common for failing so might be worth replacing anyway

[@piotrkasinski1929]

Switch going to replace after MOT.

[@Badgertronix]

awesome video Alan, loved the intro. The discs look about the same as the mk4 but with that new fancy calliper.

[@alan4x]

thanks lol, I've not thought about the discs, i will check the part numbers to see if they are the same as the mk4 and will let you know

[@Badgertronix]

I just checked the part numbers and the specs are near identical but a different part number and a very different cost.

[@alan4x]

lol, thats about right but i will say out of forty taxis which are these mk5 mondeos i am changing the rear pads between 60-90k and the rear discs are like new... so i don't think will need discs for these cars anytime soon and not even had a warped disc yet

[@Badgertronix]

Hey alan. Nice video, thank you. But is there no need to use any grease? Br

[@alan4x]

Ty for info.

[@stephenedwards1278]

Mk5 Mondeo brake pedal goes.to floor gradually when pressed constantly. Just had new front discs, front pads and new brake fluid. KwikFit checked it and said no leaks and re bled fluid. He said the loss of pressure is normal when engine off and you have to pump pedal at start. Is this BS or is he fobbing me off ?

[@brianmac1056]

Can somebody please confirm, without that tool, do you push back or wind back the pistons, thanks.

[@tomaskelly6507]

Hi Alan, you wouldn't know the part number of the anti squeal shims by any chance? Just changing my back brake pads this morning and there are no shims there (most likely last guy to service it didn't realise they were there and binned them). You can see they are required - the pads I took out were all chewed up on the back...

[@alan4x]

most pads come with a backing so not needing the squeal shims..all the pads i fit from ford no longer require the squeal shims to be swapped over

[@tomaskelly6507]

@@alan4x Thanks for that. I put some brembo pads on the back and the ones I took out really looked like they should have had a shim over them, the back of the pad had disintegrated against the top of the piston and left it covered in plastic/metal/brake dust mush. Just looks like there should have been a shim over them... I've not tried the ford ones!

hi Alan i have a ford mondeo mk5. which hangs on one rear brake. the disc brake quickly reaches 100 degrees Celsius. I have replaced brake discs and brake pads but still hangs a bit. the wheel is a bit slow to spin around need to take a little hart in order to spin it. suspects that the brake piston does not retract enough. Do you know what I can do to fix it? besides replacing the brake caliper it costs 470 USD

[@citytaxis67]

Had pads changed at local garage , they totally cocked up and engaged handbrake whilst car was in service mode and long story short took them 3 hours to finally give car back , since then the handbrake randomly sets off alarm saying handbrake not operating correctly and a week and a half later handbrake started jamming on , back to garage and they say i need new actuator on rear left , question is , is this a coincidence or can i say to them it's there fault ? Thanks

[@alan4x]

hi, i don't know what would happen if the park brake is engaged while in service mode but i don't think the outcome would be good...it sounds very much like they are responsible ...they replaced the pads and gave you back a faulty car so they should put it right...i have never yet had a faulty rear calliper on the mk5 with a lot of the cars 150k miles now and no issues ...the only park brake faults i do get is the switch on the centre console goes faulty
