    Thanks for showing the issue. I bought my mk4 diesel with quite a lot of road already put into it. If I happen to get MK5 I'll absolutely guaranteed will try to see that this isn't happening. Those pesky car sellers that have washed everything bit too conveniently :)

    Testament to oil changes with that bearing shell after 350k miles, not an easy job, but can't ask much more from a rubber o ring with all the heat cycles. Peugeot engines are not as bad as people make out. This 2.0, is derived from the original 1.9 xud engine, which is recognised as one of the best ever made.

    @SalimKhan-gk1fh 2 года назад +2

    Excellent video Alan I really enjoyed watching it but couldn’t help noticing that it seems the sump pan of the engine has probably been removed before ? as the use of universal black RTV sealant is not usually found on the Machine sealing faces of the sump or the engine block. The correct sealant for this sealing surface is actually a special expensive sealant as you know from the price of it from Ford from previous videos! i’m not teaching you to suck eggs mate, but the only gasket sealant I would use on the sump is Elring dirko which is available from GSF or euros and only about £11 it’s a white grey colour and is semipermanent hard with excellent elasticity properties and stretch / gap filling properties , If this was used that rubber gasket would not have been able to shrink causing the leak , I would not use that black stuff as all it does is squishes out when you tighten up the sump bolts hence no samples of it on the mating surfaces, Give it a try mate, I won’t use anything else these days it’s really good stuff it has even sealed distorted coolant flanges for me in the past when I was stuck for parts on the weekend !!!

    • @alan4x
      @alan4x  2 года назад

      thanks for your comment salim, interesting, i will give that sealant a try, as for that engine, it has never been apart but the sealant which seals that sandwich plate just above the sump would have been grey in colour from the factory,,just its black now with oil over it lol, have a good one

My ford mondeo 2009 petrol leaks oil terribly, the cylinder head cover where coils enter from is full of oil, even after wiping it out. The oil is full on top and it drips Down around the engine.

    @alan howatt.
    Hi, I've just changed the rear crank seal on my parents mk 4 2.0 tdci, has 150k on the clock, original was leaking, so I fitted this seal, with the plastic applicator, reassembled and all seemed fine but next day, oil leak is back 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️.
    After some investigation on a Ford forum, a ford tech posted a reply, saying that the surface of the crank has to be spotless, with zero oil residue because the way the ptfe seal seals, is my inserting the seal, leaving it in position, without moving the crank at all, for 4 hours, then rebuilding and when the engine is started, a thin coating of the seal, is transfered to the crankshaft surface and this makes the seal, between crank and seal.
    Have you heard of this before? Because at the end of this video, you didn't mention any special procedure, for seal insertion 🤷🏻‍♂️.
    I have another genuine seal ordered from Ford and will have to strip out again, which I don't mind, I just want to know, that I'm doing the job right.
    Thanks. Dave.
    P.s you're right, it's a crap job, to have to do those vertical seals, what a terrible design error.

    Very good video as usual Alan.
    I have a Focus 1.8TDCi which I have just completely overhauled (new bearings, pistons, valve stem seals etc) after 396,000 miles. Now I have an oil leak (black oil not gearbox oil) from the notch at the bottom of the bell housing. Brand new Elring crankshaft oil seals were fitted at both ends of the crankshaft and the screws/bolts that secure the seal to the block at the flywheel end were torqued up as per the manual. The manufacturers' plastic sleeve was used to slide the seal over the crankshaft flange with no apparent damage or distortion. Any ideas? The 1.8TDCi doesn't have this sliding block with sealing strip under the bearing like the one in this video, so it's obviously not that.

      ​​@@alan4x Umm! That's what I was thinking,but how do you over tighten it as it's the design of the tensioner to prevent that? What do you suggest I do as I have slackened the tension off whereby the tensioner pointer is at the 4 o'clock position instead of the usual 5 o'clock but it still makes the noise.
