I love how you explain things so beginners can understand. Brilliant stuff! I didnt know that there was a plug with independent cables to the plugs, I need to test mine because it is a bit slow starting in the cold.
Been waiting for this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve snapped so many 😤😤😤 - if your bored Alan you can always demonstrate how you bleed the dreaded rear fuel filter on the MK 4
Thank you Alan. Clearly, the MK5 2L is a great performance engine. Sadly however, the engine flow and layout must’ve been designed by a sadist gynaecologist or proctologist with all various engine parts located in very tight areas, requiring multiple removal to carry simple replacement of minor parts. Here in shitville (Straya) I have a 2016 Ford Kuga with the same great performance engine. Recently, I had to remove the front bumper-bar to replace the park light, and the front wiper & t its apron to replace the battery. They took frigging hours. Bloody sadist design by gynaecologist ...........I am sure of that……….. thanks once again for the all the great efforts you put in these wonderful educational clips.
Such a simple video yet so much fun from watching it 😁👍 and no doubt some hard work was put in to make it! Thank you Alan! I've been soaking my plugs for 2 weeks before they finally eased off and came out. Would not try pushing it.
Thanks Alan, it has to be said that they are easier to do with engine out. I had a MK2 Granada with a 2ltr diesel in it ( it was non turbo and slow, very very slow) i decided to do the glowplugs on it. Tight !!!! In the end i took it for a drive and they came out with a hot engine, mind you there was plenty of room in an engine bay in those days.
Top info there as always. Nice to see they came out nice and in 1 bit. When putting the new pkugs in I dont that a small smidge of copper grease anti sieze compound on the plug threads would go a miss.
I swapped an 1800 Audi A4 engine a few years ago for another which looked identical but had a different code. It started up but had no power. Turned out that a different engine code needed a different ECU.
My saturday night sorted..... Glow plug removal vid......😅😅 can we not get moni...to do like a walk through.. say hi.. Thanks alan.. always make us smile..... N x
Thank you Alan for another instructive video! Based on your previous videos I got the confidence to replace myself, preventively the timing chain. and guess what? Injector number 4 snaped and the lower part remained inside the cylinder head.😂🤣 It was so corroded... I am amazed the specialists I called over were able to extract it. Did this happen to you? See the video I made about it on my channel.
A very informative video Alan.Would like another video showing how you strip and potentially repair this engine.Engine has taken a shit, love that expression,lol.
I tend to use a 1/4 drive socket set for glow plugs, if they won't budge with that, normally they are well stuck. Some different theories between letting the engine get stone cold or whilst it's hot when getting them out. Little bit of ceramic grease for the new ones when they go in the head. What's your overall thoughts on the 2.0 PSA engine? I've had the different variants of the 2.0 hdi over many years and i have to say, they have been trouble free and reliable but i delete all egrs, dpfs etc so that may help. The earlier 2.0 RHF engine glow plugs are at the back by the turbo, and they are a pain in the arse to get out, all done by feel. Great video Alan
Great video as always Alan. One thing to add - my 2015 C-Max 2.0 diesel reads ~3v on the supply side of the plug connector. A quick search online suggests that this is expected for engines since 2012. But since you see a lot more of these engines then I ever will, have you ever measured it directly?
Hi Alan Love your channel and your knowledge about Fords motors. May I Ask you can bad Glow plug cause raw run of Engine on idle and between 1800 - 1900, over 2000 is pretty good. 2.0TDCI 2012 DW10C . Also have can you have do video about vibration on front wheels in fords ? seems be common issue too at S-max and Mondeo
Diesel engines use the high compression in the cylinders to ignite the fuel unlike petrol engines which use a spark plug but diesel fuel does not like cold cylinders so the glow plugs help put some heat into the cylinders which helps ignite and atomise the fuel better
Hi Alan, when mentioning if there is no power to the glow plugs, it could possibly be the relay or fuse? On the off chance, do you know where the fuse is located for the glow plug relay? I am having difficulty finding it. Thanks
Alan as you are the all knowing god of ford mondeo 2.0 diesels , could you tell me what is a reasonable compression , ive getting 330 psi to 400 is this good enough , customers is a pain to start from cold and smokes ,lovely when warm
hi yes 330-400 psi is pretty good, if you were down to 200 psi you would certainly have a problem, you may well have another problem like glow plugs but would check ecu for codes first
@@alan4x i seen your other video on glow plugs ,very informative ,surprised these engines rely so much on good plugs ,most high pressure diesels work fine without . I noticed yours lit up like a light bulb when you powered it ,mine just glowed ,so may be there lies the fault . One of them jobs where i just changed the fuel leak off pipes ,and ever since you fixed it ,its hard to start and smokes on cold 🤔 😥
@@stogmot1 I would say if your problem is since you replaced the leak off pipes I would think maybe one of the pipes seals is damaged and letting in air which could give you poor starting
@@alan4x i will go through it with a fine toothcomb again next week . originaly fuel was pouring out the leakoffs ,now dry as a chip so unlikely to be leaking in ,but will check . Many thanks ,when i sussed it will let u know wot it was
Hi Alan,please help me resolve a problem at my Ford s-max 2016, when i start the engine He shivers, especially when it's cold, I've changed glow plugs with reley but nothing, I thought is a flywheel and i changed but Nothing has changed, service man checked engine mount all ok, this vibration They can be felt on the steering wheel and pedals when the engine is working at low revs,Thanks in advance
I’ve had more than one car run on it’s own oil. It’s one of the scary sides of diesel tech. It’s 5th gear stall only , stop , and wait for heart rate to start slowing
@@TheAdrianNightingale put your hand over it and it'll probably suck your hand in. The advice I got was to stick it in a high gear and dump the clutch to stall it. Watch a few runaway diesel videos and see how they deal with them. The scariest one I seen was a diesel train engine. It literally started eating itself.
So much plastic. Do you find these engines depressing to work on? Do you have an old school engine that you just breathe a sigh of relief on when one rolls in for some work?

"But my car starts fine even at cold mornings." "Yes. Isnt it nice when engines just get better and better so they need Webasto to heat cabin up so you dont get cold?" These are facing forwards and so i like these more when they are at back of the engine like was it 1,6liter those are my worst nigthmare for breaking as imagening need to drill that out.. MAN.. PS. I Would say that run your engine HOT 2 fan spin ups (with AC OFF) before so you burn most sudd off before you start tu pulling out that bad glowplug as it was bad loong time before you noticed it via fail message ;)

Diesel overrun cannot be at all funny when it's happening but it's funny AF when hearing about it after!

Not all glow plugs are 12v, worth remembering.
Take care at work, hubby..and be careful of ur finger, im gonna put a ring on it 🥰
2015 Mondeo 2litre tdci Titanium.. with 83k miles.. what should I be looking out for..? Love yer channel and Banter.! :-)

I had a Citoen xantia once ,glow plug behind the injector pump ,i left it and did the other 3 .aint nobody got time for that😆

How the hell did they all come out so easy!
I dread that job as had too many get stuck in the head or worse
Just use a torque wrench to avoid breaking, and of course soak them in your fluid of choice
All T7T8 engines will fit in all,you just have to your original wiring loom
Hello If the high-pressure pump emits metal debris. Do you also have to change the fuel tank and the entire pipeline.
can you tell me where you can repair cars because I would like to replace the timing belt and water pump.😊
i have an UFDB motor, 2.0 TDCI, focus, 2012. this is the same ?
Basically the same, there are slight differences probably, but they are both the PSA sourced DW10
Hi Alan,please help me resolve a problem at my Ford s-max 2016, when i start the engine He shivers, especially when it's cold, I've changed glow plugs with reley but nothing, I thought is a flywheel and i changed but Nothing has changed, service man checked engine mount all ok, this vibration They can be felt on the steering wheel and pedals when the engine is working at low revs,Thanks in advance
Hi Alan, where did you get that metal trim tool from?
that came from laddaw..windscreen company in bedford but you can get similar off ebay
Alan what is the site you went to see the Torque of the glow plugs?
I would have thought the anti shudder valve/throttle valve would have closed when he switched ignition off killing the engine?
You could make a cup of tea with a glow plug 😂
Who cares about taught settings? I'm here for Monika
Those taught settings are important
Is there a “set interval” on when to change glow plugs or is it just when they start to go bad?
I would like to know could I put a awf21 transmission from a 2008 mk4 in to a 2012 mk4 with 6dct450 transmission
Hi Alan what engine size do you think is the best for the mk5 mondeo?
Good question
THANKIOU
I’ve had more than one car run on it’s own oil. It’s one of the scary sides of diesel tech. It’s 5th gear stall only , stop , and wait for heart rate to start slowing
surely you can just block the air intake to stop the runaway ?
@@TheAdrianNightingale in my experience you have zero time. The car can only be stalled to stop. It’ll Rev redline. Often in gear.

The engine in mine is T7CE 🤔
Have you got a video for the mk4.5 mondeo 2.0tdci. Are they header to get out?
Omg, Have fun! Was the final line, on the mk4 video. They are not broken, but It s good to know what are you looking at. Cheers.
