Great video, many thanks for posting, helped me a lot - just serviced my 1.4 petrol 2010 - currently running 155k miles, only major work, new clutch and timing belt @ 140k!!
Morning Derek. Another great job done on the service & trim added. Definitely tidies the door up. What a bu##er about the exhaust mount, if you know anyone with a welder, get them to tack it on. I feel an exhaust centre would try to rip u off for a new rear box just because of that hanger. Also, I didn't like my suggestion of a name for the new chariot either 🙈🙈 Hope ya self & Freda r feeling better. Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Alan L200
10 bolts for air filter. Well bloody, that's a secure filter. Ford is scared they fly away. You are working with gloves on, that's very good. I've seen a lot of dumbs working without. Never mind the health :)
. Having watched your oil change video I decided to tackle the job on my recently acquired Fusion. Some brainless oik had stripped the thread in the drain plug! I did wonder why there was a lump of rubber round the plug. I've ordered a new plug and will carefully try cleaning up the thread in the sump with a 10mm tap. If it doesn't hold with the copper washer I'll try PTFE tape on the thread. Wish me luck!
@@sleepycatpictures1176 I sincerely hope so at over 60k! The new plug fitted OK with the tape and as an extra precaution I used a fibre washer as well as the copper one, tightening it just sufficiently and not overdoing it.
you want to seal the washer jets use some silicone under the jets prevents water getting into the spark plug wells and rust the welsh plugs and coolant pours out/overheats common problem with these
Oo that's a really good question that I wish I had an answer to. Don't know to be honest. But I should imagine things should not be that different. The Haynes manual says the 1.4 and 1.6 are very similar.
@@sleepycatpictures1176 thanks for replying. I’ll have to get my hands on a Haynes manual! Your engine and mine look identical, so I should think it’s probably the same process.
Did you have to jack the car up to do either the oil or oil filter change? Can't see any in the video so wondering if it's possible to get under the car without jacks as i need to change oil and filter on my fusion.
Hi, I just had a 4th cylinder misfire error code (P0304) and check the spark plug well, there was a nice amount of water inside. I cleaned up and replaced the spark plugs. According to the service manual the spark plug connectors must be coated with silicone grease to prevent water getting inside. What is you thought about this ? "Name & Specification: Silicone grease ESE-M1C171-AA CAUTION: Use a suitable blunt object to avoid damage to the spark plug connector gasket. Coat the inside of the spark plug connector with silicone grease to depth of 5-10 mm."
That's news to me. Can't say I'm surprised though. Without an undershield, the engine is vulnerable to deep puddle splashes. Sounds like a Ford fix. Might be a good idea. Personally, I try to avoid puddles anyway, but in the dark, not always possible.
For a lighter more nimble ride, it has to be the petrol. For economy, fuel and road tax, it has to be the diesel. Quite enjoying the novelty of a petrol manual at the moment! Tax for the petrol is £210. Cheap Heap is £30.

I think it is too. Still struggling to fit them all in though!
Thank you for this. I have confidence to do this to my car now

Cheera Alan! All the Best Mate! Exhaust sorted on true hillbilly fashion!

Very secure filter!
Some aftermarket filters come with a replacement little foam breather filter.
Oh right, ta. Mine did not.
thanks for the video. Just bought an old one and need to do a little service. very helpful thank you !
Good luck! I like 'em. A bit tinny but adequate!
Thank you

Happy driving!
@@sleepycatpictures1176 thank you sir! a blue one is parked in my driveyard as we speak

@@ronnieg6358 Well done! That'll be fine. Just keep an eye on it.
Good job..
Thanks

Thank you!
My father in law has a Ford Fusion 2002 1.4 tdci . No issues over 230k KM .
Good Man! Properly maintained, they should do that!

Most helpful.Thank you.

Excellent video! Is this the same process for the 1.6 petrol, or are the bits in different places etc?

@@MRCazza71290 They should be nearly identical. Good luck!

No. My drive is on a slope so I park at the top on the apex. There is enough room to get under anyway as the car sits fairly high.

hello do you have a way to change the air conditioner compressor
Hi. Not something I have done yet. Mostly because none of my Fusions have working air-con due to various reasons!
Do you where the EGR valve is on this model please
From the book, it says it is fitted to the exhaust manifold.
Derek which do you prefer petrol or diesel fusion?
For a lighter more nimble ride, it has to be the petrol. For economy, fuel and road tax, it has to be the diesel. Quite enjoying the novelty of a petrol manual at the moment! Tax for the petrol is £210. Cheap Heap is £30.
Scary!
hallo Wie viell oil Liter
Engine oil, 1.4, with oil filter- 3.80 litre. 1.6 engine, 4.10 litres.
Where do you find the VIN number please? I can’t find it on mine!

My fusion eats NGK plugs gonna try Ford motor craft
Sure you not Alun Davies from "New Tricks"
Sorry about the picture!
For God's sake Derek stop using the engine for a work bench🤣🤣
Oh sorry . . . Too idle to move the camera!
