  • As the mileage racks up on these 2l mondeo taxis the more problems they are having as in this case there are multiple problems all contributing to one big issue...dpf blocked and forced limited power.
    In this video i resolve the faults and carry out a static regeneration of the diesel particulate filter.

    Great video AH, have been watching your videos for some time. Have a 17 plate 170 Titanium estate with 112k not sure if it's the same motor as this MK5. Great to see this car @ 320k, your videos give me faith that it can be maintained with all your known problems published in these videos for some time to come. Thanks for all the effort you put into presenting producing, filming and editing these videos I know personally it's a lot of work.

      The Peugeot 2.0 HDi engines that Ford used in their lineups are incredibly reliable. Drive them right, service every 10k and you'll be golden. On the second cambelt change, it would be wise to prematurely replace the timing chain (expensive but cheaper when done together).

      We have the same model/engine (2012 with 183,000 on the odo). At the moment with the state of the country it makes sense to repair not replace - car runs like a watch and despite some tappy injectors at low revs, it drives absolutely A1. I'm having these replaced shortly to keep the car at its best. A truly excellent car with a bulletproof engine 💪

    Funny you mentioned that sometimes the injectors won't work after taking them out.. I've watched another video of another you tuber working on I think VW car and they had problem with low power after engine rebuilt which turned out to be diesel injectors, but the work on the engine had nothing to do with injectors, they died after being taken out and put back in again 🤷‍♂️
    I've done that static regen in my Mazda 6 2.2 diesel with Forscan software.. done the trick and yes, exhaust got very very hot and exhaust gases had a funny, unusual smell..

    Ford Motor Company used to have a 100,000 mile club, when my mum worked for them in the late 70s and early 80s. Basically, it was a chuffing miracle if a Ford got to 100,000 miles, and people would write in. Possibly a week later, it disintegrated from rust. Obviously they were petrols then, but I would love to know highest mileage known, for one of these! 😀

    interesting video.
    never seen a regen happen on camera.
    I used to own a Duster 1.5l Dci and the only way i knew it was regenning was the electric fan was on when i reached my destination and heat coming out from underneath the car...
    It would have been nice if there was an illumination on the dashboard.
    Renault's system used a 5th injector in the DPF to spray fuel and burn the soot off.
    When I started doing shorter journeys due to moving, the regen was happening more often. it drove me up the wall
    I had to sit there for about 10 mins otherwise it would attempt a regen 5 times. if it didnt complete then engine fault light illuminated.
    I got rid of it

      Modern diesel should be ran constantly for at least 30km trips. They suck in that aspect comparing to age old diesels. My work drive is about 40km's and it seems to be on the verge of minimum to trigger regen on normal drives. To my butt feeling it's about 20km's minimum in ideal conditions to get it started. Not to mention it takes a bit to complete.

    I have the 2.0 from the mk4 mondeo and the water pump has metal propeller. I am afraid that they will switch the part with this cheaper plastic one and I will not be able to find the ones made for my engine anymore, since the engine block is basically the same.
    Was quite impressed at that mileage that the soot accumulation drops that much. For me it never drops below 38% and my mileage is 217.000

    I had a couple of v6 mondeos where the water pumps failed. one was mk1 v6 S.i that overheated, replaced the pump for one with a metal impeller but sadly the headgasket went characterized by a ticking noise which was in fact the engine venting. I also had a mk1 v6 ghia x that too had that sh*tty plastic water pump. fortunately the headgaskets didn't go on that one! those 2.5 and 3.0 duratecs don't like being cooked and there's a good chance that overheating will eventually lead to headgasket failure but not always.

      As the other commenter has noted, you'll feel the revs "pulsing" when at idle (if you watch the rev needle you'll see it bouncing slightly). You'll also hear the fans running and when driven, the engine note will sound a bit gruff under load. It's perfectly normal and nothing to worry about, DPF is just doing its thing 👍

    hard to see, but was the dpf temp sensor reading 100c all the time? out here in nissan land it means sensor down
    keep away from new navaras, especially autos, static regen + oilchange every 3-4k, + it takes 3 runs to get soot down, "so thats £30 of diesel sir, then oil + filter change, so that will be £250 every 3 months sir, oh + its not warranty sir, [our poor receptionists are suicidal...]

      Regeneration is done with the DPF in situ.You need the scan tool to command the ECU to start the regen.Short journeys quickly clog up the DPF.Take your car on the motorway and floor it for ten minutes.
