Great video Alan. Looking at the state of those shells but considering the oil pump looked fine, I thought your back story was gonna be it had been 'a runaway'. Agree with what you said to Monika about funding a certain billionaire, it's insane.

[@19jacobob93]

Did you ever have any issues with the oil pumps in the later 2014 Mk4s? The oil pumps and engines in those (163hp?) look identical to the ones in the Peugeot Experts you had issues with... I wonder what the issue was with the Experts as to why they failed...

[@dilla66]

Its a pleasure to listen to u alan ur a very interesting man regards brian

[@alan4x]

thanks brian

[@denisahmed3030]

Thank you Alan for the video,can you please recap what we should do to avoid this happening ?If I understand right the prevention for it will have to be to replace the chain and the tensioner somewhere on about 180-200k miles or something else? Great Content ,keep it going !

[@guffermeister]

Personally at 200K miles with the cambelt change I'd be doing the chain as well

[@tiggercat8689]

It appears that in these MK5 EU6 engines (MK4 EU5 seemed better?) we are seeing increased wear in the oil pump and also the camchain tensioner. Both components appear to have been re-designed vs the MK 4. Big question though in any closed loop like the internal combustion engine, is which causes the problem? - since metal particles from the oil pump added to the oil could be then causing the nylon camchain tensioner guide to wear! Probably the best preventative maintenance either way is to change the oil more frequently.

[@guffermeister]

Start stop won't help as it the chain is going to go drop its lube during starting. With the very light weight oils its going to drain off quite quickly. I don't know if the Mk4 had the variable flow/pressure oil pump in it? Certainly the 18K mile service is way too long, although I think alan said they do the taxis every 15K? Not so much of an issue as they generally get started in the morning and run all day without having the full heating cycles all the time. Part of the problem also is the continual search for that extra 1g/km reduction for the consumption data. There has to be a point where it cannot continue. Look at the stupid amount of extra hardware in the EGR compared to the Mk4 and all the other crap. Adding more bits lowers the mean time before failure....

[@johnrowell942]

Nice that you solve it. At least you got a new spare chain and guides and the oil colder parts looks new too.

[@trevbe]

Great trilogy Alan. Pleasure to watch. Great diagnosis of it all. Wonderfully put together 👍

[@anthonymillar6183]

Good video Alan 257000 on taxi Is 500000 wear coz idle waiting for fare Keep up the videos 👍

[@howardkerr8174]

For better or worse, we in the U.S. did not have the choice of a diesel in either the Contour/Mondeo or its " replacement " the Fusion. In this market we get the Mk5 with a choice of 1.5, 1.6, or 2 liter Eco-Boost engine. Or, being a bit of a mechanical conservative, I got the 2.5 liter NON Eco-Boost engine. Also, no manual transmissions for the U.S. except for a very tiny number with the 1.6 Eco-Boost engine. Here's hoping I won't be referring to these great videos for help, but watching instead for the entertainment. It's so good to see videos about the Fusion/Mondeo that AREN'T aimed at the " boy racer " crowd.

[@denisahmed3030]

I am so interested in that as I bought MK5 2.0L Diesel as per you suggestion on 80k miles,I done full service(engine oil,oil filter,air filter,coupe filter) and ordered Timing belt kit+water pump,new coolant,fuel filter and a gearbox seal ,so this will be my mission next week,but I want to know if this tensioner give up on the stated milage above,I will consider replacing it before the next oil change :) Thank you for the honesty and Take care @Alan Howatt !

[@josephhalwagy6435]

[@ianwebster1143]

Excellent video Alan, always very interesting to watch 👍

[@johnholwell9514]

I used to rebuild/recondition engines like this almost daily. A reground crank a couple new rods along with new set of shells and it would live again. But theses days, unless its rare and hard to fond it's normally cheaper to replace rather than repair.

Hi Allan! Very interesting clip, I watched it with great interest! I want to ask you something and I hope you can answer me: I own a Volvo s40, with a 2.0 diesel engine, the same engine at the base as the one in your video! When I worked on it, I noticed that the oil pump chain is not really stretched, it looks really light! When you opened the defective engine, I noticed that it was the same with that engine and you said that it would not have been a problem at the oil pump! My question is: should the chain be lighter, or should it be stretched? Thanks, you are doing a good job and I hope to see many more interesting videos from you!

[@alan4x]

hi nicusor, there is no tensioner on these oil pump chains...they are just a slack chain by design and perfectly fine

Hi Alan I have a mk4 mondeo 2ltr tdci it’s had new timing belt timing chain and guides and tensioner but once the engine is warmed up it has a rattle when coming down the revs like a chain rattling but just has a new one, with it only doing it once warm could that be the hydrolic tappets on the rockers ?

Maybe that is a good ideo for a video: Collection of distinctive sounds and their explanation. Sadly it is a bit harder to record those.

Interesting as ever Alan. Low Oil Pressure and No2 big end bearing had spun. No 1 showed clear signs of getting very very hot when it folds down the side of the rod. I'd say that even if you re-ground the crank and went to oversize bearings, you'd probably be over spec for them - new crank when is new engine time. I hope that Moni is fine and gets over her vax jab ok. Need to tread carefully now as she one of them and on the otherside, hahahahaha. Billy Gates and mates will be keep tabs on you now.

[@ciaranm8772]

These are a cracking engine, as is any PSA HDI unit in fairness. I’ve owned quite a few variations and could not fault them. People didn’t like the old 1.6 HDI 16v, however with proper grade oil every 10k they were bulletproof. Ford have made the wrong move in developing their own 2.0 EcoBlue engine, the horror stories coming out already after 4 years is frightening. It’s definitely an engine to avoid.

[@paulas2610]

Ford had to replace the oil pump on my 2017 Mondeo Vignale 2.0 179bhp becouse the oil pressure when the second solonoid was activated was to high. The car went into limp mode and they changed everything before desiding the to replace the oil pump. It was their last chance to fix the problem or else they had to change the engine.

The engine used in the Mondeo is the same one as the focus ST and RS just with different power levels. They're super reliable and have mountains of pulling power. Just change the oil often. AS for the ride, I can't comment on that.

What I do to prevent things like that happening: I always start the car first before I go anywhere, put my stuff in the boot make sure that the engine is running good, get inside and drive away. When I come back home I never shut the engine straight away, always take my stuff out or just get out of the car and listen to that engine before I shut it off. That way you can prevent things like that happening

I love big saloon cars and won't have many options left in the future. Everyones wants a boring mini SUV. Always loved the mk5, I've been in one that was a taxi. Seems pretty quiet and refined on the move as well. Can't believe Ford has discontinued the Mondeo. I've heard that mazda wants to do the same with the mazda6.
