My thermostat housing exploded today on my 2017 with 153K done. I knew you'd probably have a video on how to replace it and watched this while waiting for the tow truck. Thanks to you I checked the bleed pipe while waiting and sure enough it broke too. Dealer has a new housing already in stock but had to order the bleed pipe. I would have been out of action a few days longer only for your video as I'd have had no replacement bleed pipe. Tackling this job tomorrow once I have the parts. Thank you so much for taking the time to upload these videos, they make these jobs so much easier for us. Proper gent.
Just want to say thank you Alan for the detailed instructions. Completed this morning on 2015 S Max. Got up at 5am to avoid heat of the day, and followed your video step by step. 😊
Alan. Yet again your very concise instructions have saved the day. Chalk up 1x Alternator and now 1x thermostat housing. Thanks for taking the time to record these videos I fear I’ll be back again to your channel for my F.ix O.r R.epair D.aily! Coffee (beer) brought via link
I wanna thank you Alan. just done this job on my 15 plate these videos are gold to people like me .my temp gauge started to creep up with no water loss then go back down fine in traffic get on a bypass open her up then the temp went right into the red an alarm came on the dash and temp drop back down stopped to check the water still full . Anyway after watching your vid change the thermostat housing following your instructions all seems well car also seem more lively, so thanks again keep doing it bud
Actually I have an overheating problem thermo and rad change ain't cured! It can run local all day take it up to motorway speeds tft gauge goes up and has even thrown engine coolant temp overheated and if you ease of the throttle temp comes back down too normal boot it again goes up again seems like no flow or blocked got fans to cut in no loss of coolant ??
@@spierchips with the engine running,,, check you have coolant flowing through the bleed off pipe from the thermostat housing into the expansion bottle...if there is no flow then the water pump impeller has fallen off the back of the pump..fairly common problem ruclips.net/video/H3XSXq-1CKA/видео.html
The Thermostat housing for the Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCI 2016-2019 is the exact same part so this video is a great help. The thermostat had failed closed on my Galaxy and the coolant overtemp warning came on. The expansion tank had bubbling water right to the top and the thin return pipe was hot. The pipe to the radiator was cold. I sprayed WD40 into the expansion tank pipe connector on the housing and got it out without breaking it by twisting it a bit while pulling very slowly. Also make sure you buy the 2 o-rings for the rear pipe (cost £12 each from dealers). The existing o-rings can get damaged when pulling the housing off.
I'm old enough to remember when all it took to replace a thermostat was 5 minutes and $10 for the part. I hate to think how much all that gear cost just to replace a f%^& thermostat. Good work guvnor.
Thank you for the video you have done. I used it step by step. What you say at the end happen to me. Glue gave way and blew it apart. $320AUD for a new thermostate $82AUD for that plastic pipe that always breaks.
Hello Alan, Gerard here from Ireland. Find you videos a life saver. Im a taxi driver and I have a 1.5 diesel Mk5 mondeo 2017... Coolant loss over the last few days... topping up a small bit every other day.. Would the procedure for fitting the thermostate housing be the same on a 1.5 diesel? And how can I determine whether it is the thermo housing at fault... Many thanks for the videos over the years....

I also like seeing Alan "literally" using FACOM tools. I love my FACOM tools, but they're very expensive here in the U.S. Good luck to you Alan!
@@alan4x Alan i really need your help. This thermostat is the same as my mk3 Ford focus. I bought one. This video helped me fit it. But now the top ain’t opening. Anyways my question is, where does the bottom hose connect to, and where does the top hose connect to and is there anyway I could have mistakenly mixed them up? Please please please help
Amazing video Alan. Mine is still leaking. Hopefully it will last until after Christmas. I might have a go at this myself although I might fuck it up. Thanks for the part numbers. Pricks at Ford Dealership refused to hand them over. Keep up the good work.
Awwaome video. I just brought a 2015 with 195kms. Within a few days mine blew off. The part that faces you when standing facing the engine and houses the thermostate. That part at the end of the video. Very expensive part as well.
yup @ 20:15 you mention the whole end just breaks off, happened to me this morning while on the motorway. car still drove but reduced my speed for a further 2 miles before i could safely pull off at a junction. seen what it was and called a tow truck. i hope the extra 2 mile drive didn't get it too hot to cause further damage!
did mine yesterday thanks for the video as i referred to it quite a bit the side hose took abit to remove and the nut at rear was fun the battery and plate need to be removed to get to this , the bleed pipe is a must mine was brittle from heat it was a issue waiting to happen
Another great video. Crappy brittle plastic - they really are designing a car to last a certain amount of time. The press at the end is a good stress buster. 👍
Brilliant video. Have you seen these thermostats stick open? I have a Galaxy with this engine and in the winter months the engine will not warm up unless I drive on the autobahn. It seems like the thermostat is stuck open.
hi Alan, would this be the same process for a 16 plate Galaxy ? the temp goes up when working the engine and down when not working it, very little fluid loss and its gathered around the area you showed in your top top video, what are your thoughts please.
Great video once again Alan ,think us Mondeo owners should carry a bottle of kseal as part of the service kit as the plastic isn’t the best in these cars
Hello from the future. Another great video - you're providing an invaluable service! My coolant temperature sensor has become intermittent. Can I replace that on its own, or do I need to do the whole thermostat housing?
Turns out it was a leaking thermostat, just like you said. The expansion tank was actually filled to slightly over max, but when I removed the cap, there was a whooshing noise, and all the coolant disappeared into the pipes. I guess the intermittent temperature was due to pockets of air in the system. Just as well I didn't drive far like that!
Very detailed explanation. Really great! Also, just wondering, after the new thermostat is installed, is it necessary to use a diagnostic computer for configuration?
I wish I watched the video about the over heating mondeo first, as I just did the test of taking the bleed pipe off and checking that it pumps water out. Water pump it is then 🤢
yes if water does not flow out of that leak pipe with engine running then the impeller on your water pump is detached and spinning freely which is not circulating the engine coolant
Thank you Alan watched your video and managed to fit my thermostat on my 2016 focus st today but just wanted to ask if you know the part no./ name for the pipe from thermostat to the expansion tank as the clip has broken like youve mentioned? Regards Ian
HI, After removing everything else, stuck on the very last part before disconnecting the thermostat. After loosening the rear bracket, the thermostat doesn't seem to want to come off the rear hose. It doesn't want to twist and wriggling it up and down doesn't help. When I pull it towards me something is stopping it, making a banging noise when I try to pull it towards me but can't find anything obstructing it. Is there anything I'm missing? Have a 2017 galaxy. Also can you advise on any types of sprays to loosen this as both the rear pipe and the part that it connects to on the thermostat (where the clamp is) are both hard plastic. THANKS!
Morning Alan hope your ok 👍🏻 Another great Mondingo video 🤣 If I watch enough of your Mondingo fixing them I’ll be a top mechanic like you lol 😆 Have a lovely weekend so see ya 🤣🤣
Many thanks to u mate i was able to replace my thermostat kit on my focus st greatly appreciated only issue i had was the rear pipe bolt and i didnt realise i just had to tighten the bolt and the clip would just go into place many thanks for sharing ur video u saved me alot off money infact 300.00 as i was quoted 565.00 !! Due u a pint mate
Alan please help!!!, im driving myself mad trying to find some info on the 2.2l duratorq in my mondeo. There never seems to be as much info on the 2.2 tdci. I have a low coolant temperature reading on the dash. Going to try changing the main thermostat and the oil cooler thermostat (if there is one), possibly the ECT sensor. The only thing ive managed to find is the plastic housing for main thermostat, cant find where the water pump is or where the oil cooling thermostat is!!!!

Hello Alan, please help. My Mondeo MK5 T8CC will stay too hot while the cooler and heater stay cold. Water level is OK Hoses don't get hard either. No water loss. What do you think? Thank you Alan
Hi Alan i have ford galaxy 2016. The heater is blowing but not getting hot also on the left side coming cold air and the right side is warm but not hot. When i turn it up it goes colder instead of hot. Any idea what causes that? Thanks in advance
Hello, thank you for this. I have calorstat problème in same than in the vidéo. ( 308 sw gt eat6) . Peugeot say me you need pp2000 or diagbox ti change it. Its right ? Thank you a lot for process
Alan i really need your help. This thermostat is the same as my mk3 Ford focus. I bought one. This video helped me fit it. But now the top ain’t opening. Anyways my question is, where does the bottom hose connect to, and where does the top hose connect to and is there anyway I could have mistakenly mixed them up? Please please please help
Hi. The top radiator hose goes to the top thermostat connection and bottom radiator hose to bottom thermostat connection. I guess it is possible to get them on the other way around
@@alan4x so obvs the bottom hose should have a constant flow while the top opens at operating temp? Have you got a diagram I could use or anything just to see where the bottom hose and top hose are coming from ? Please
hi, can I ask you question, could you tell me why temperature goes up to 120 while driving over50 miles/h on motorway and comes back to normal when slowing down. Ford mondeo mk5 2l diesel 2016 reg . thank you.
Hi Alan! Question for You. I replace my old leaking thermostat to new, I don't no, how is normal coolant working temperature, at moment working temp is between 95-101 degree? ?? Mondeo 2.0tdci, 2017. My friend Mondeo 2.0tdci 2015 between 89-95 degrees with old thermostat
Dear Alan, could you be so kind and help with recognizing problem with cooling cirquit. Suddenly cooling temp started jumping from low to high and radiator is cold. Looks like thermostat is closed. But it has been forced to stay open and the problem is still the same. Next I think is broken water pump but is it possible? Is there any other element than can make such problem? Thanks in advance for your imput. Andrew.
Thank you so much for another helpful video. I'm no mechanic but do find myself fixing my car myself just because I enjoy it. I actually have a Peugeot traveller but it's the same engine and need a bit more help if possible. The heater pipe that come out the back of the thermostat housing has a special clip and mines broke and I can't get a hold of another pipe from Peugeot since it's on back order with an unknown ETA. I've removed the clip of the old heater pipe and plan on using a reducer coupler or reducer pipe with spring type clamps, do you think that's a safe option. I only ask because I'm not sure if spring clamps would be strong enough to hold the pipe since Peugeot didn't use them for whatever reason. If you have the part number for that heater pipe it would really help so maybe I can source a used one even though the Ford pipe is slightly different I can try work with it. Also the pipe with 2 O rings, where does that go? Sorry about my massive question lol
i take it the clip is the one that holds the heater pipe from the heater matrix connection on the baulkhead to the thermostat housing..the clip holds the pipe onto the housing, i have spare clips..i can put one on ebay for you tomorrow and message you. the pipe with the 2 o rings goes around the back of the engine behind the dpf and into the rear of the engine casing which the water pump fits into..you dont want to disturb that if you can help it
@@alan4x Thanks that would be great but I would like to replace the o rings also if you have them also. I can't seem to get any parts that I need from Peugeot but managed to get the thermostat housing from a parts distributor no problem on the same day. I am also a taxi driver and this is the worst time for things to go bad for me so any help would be appreciated thanks.
@Alan Howatt Hi Again, it's actually the clip for the pipe that goes to the water pump I believe. The heater matrix pipe has the 2 -O- rings on the peugeot. Anyways, out of 2 pipes 1 has a bolt clip and one has a clip, I need that clip.
@@TheAriiiiii i am thinking your car is a different setup...can you leave me your email and i will send you pictures, there is only one clip on these thermostat housings and that holds one of the heater pipes to the housing but maybe yours is different
HI dear , good and nice job , i love your teaching for mondeo replacement, just i have one question : ford mondeo 2015 diesel is same thermostat housing and location?
Could someone please tell me what is the size of the o ring ? Here in Denmark I can't find them anywhere. And the pipe I'm afraid I'll have to buy it from Ford
Thanks for the video.....mine was loosing coolant but couldn't see any tell tales of water pooling anywhere on the gearbox housing, I recently purchased my car so no idea of full history but it does have dealer stamps in the book and receipts for the timing belt / water pump done at 139K miles and there is evidence of thermostat related bits sat under the expansion tank (spring and O rings) so guessing it could be on it's 3rd thermostat now as it's at 142k miles and could have been done at the same time as the belt and water pump. Upon watching this video it would seem that the thermostat housing looks to be relatively new but the return pipe to the expansion tank on mine is a normal piece of 1 inch rubber tube that is jubilee clipped in place rather than the smaller pipe. (the jubilee clips are still shiny !!) I'm not convinced that jubilee clips will do the job here as there's not much for it to grip with the type of union so have just ordered that part for now and see if this cures the issue. I discovered the coolant loss issue when my heater stopped blowing warm air so popped the bonnet and as a lot of coolant had been lost I did note a bit of steam coming from around the expansion tank area so panicked and turned the engine off quickly. It hadn't overheated and the temp gauge were normal at that stage so no damage. I've no other symptoms that leads me to believe it's a head gasket issue at this stage so I were very puzzled at the water loss.....Thanks for such an informative video Alan...really appreciated, hopefully it's just the pipe!
Hi. I have a problem with this engine. After connecting the diagnostic computer, temperature sensor 1 shows a good temperature, but temperature sensor 2 shows - 40
Hello Alan, I have seen your video and I think it is great,, to change said thermostat, first congratulations for your videos are of a great help, to repair our mondeos,. Well I tell you I have a mondeo 2.0 tdci 180 cv, 80000 km, I have observed that the level of antifreeze a little, and that has had lost by the area of the gearbox,, I do not observe the leak to which you refer in the box of the thermostat, no liquid, I understand it would be an internal malfunction of the thermostat, and open to change it, or it would only be the gasket of the same thermostat to the butt, I hope you can help me,,,,
I had not a common situation with my thermostat. It didn't leak and the top hose wasn't so much hot as I thought it would be, the only not good sign was that the car was warming up very slowly. I had to drive about 12miles to get the engine hot. I wasn't sure if the thermostat was wrong or maybe something else, because usually when a thermostat doesn't close, the top hose is getting hot quickly but in my situation it wasn't even much warm to think it can be this issue with constant open. I took a risk and I've replaced my thermostat. It turned out that it was the fault of the thermostat. Now, I need 6miles to get the engine hot in a winter weather about 0 outside. I drive with AC on for the whole year, so it was taking very long to get the engine hot. I think I would not know on summer that I have broken thermostat.
@@alan4x thanks Alan.. they are around £160 then theres a £200 fitting charge if a garage does it. Not sure how long it takes to do the job but looks a time taking job? :)
Hi Allan, thanks for the great videos. I have a 2017 MY Titanium Diesel Mondeo here in Melbourne, Australia. Best car I have ever owned. My Thermostat housing failed and I lost the coolant, heater stopped working but engine ok. The repair cost AUS$1395. My question is can the thermostat be replaced separately to the housing or are they one complete assembly? I ask this as the car has an extended warranty that specificall mentions the thermostat as included in the warranty. If the housing cannot be separated from the housing then I think I can and should claim this as a warranty repair. Cheers
hi mark, your electronic thermostat is all part and parcel with the housing assembly and can only be replaced as a complete unit ..hope you get your warranty as that price is very expensive
Please help me. My car is a Ford S-Max diesel 2017. The same engine as the Mondeo. This car suffers from pressure in the coolant hoses, but the temperature is normal and it loses a little water. What is the problem? Help me.
Hi Alan question for you. I have a 2016 ford galaxy recently I have noticed that both the radiator fan come while I'm driving when mean they come on I mean the engine feels like if it had aircon running inside the engine, the engine bay feels like it has been sitting in minus temperature thats how cold it feels even after a couple of hours drive any ideas?
Is there anything that doesn't break on the Mondeo ??? I've been driving FORD for 25 years now !! Capri, Granada, Taunus, Sierra, Mondeo 1-5 But slowly I'm fed up. My Mondeo Mk5 has an engine failure with 140000km. The PSA engine is the last scrap
Hi Alan, I have a S max 2016 whit engine T7CL 2.0 diesel. I lost water from 50.000 km until now actually 107.000km and I never knew where. By my last refill I forgot to put back the cover back and I drove so on the motorway for 15 km whit 200km/h . When I drove out of motorway appeared the key notification and after a few meters I accelerated but the car didnt want to accelerate anymore. I hold on and switch the engine off and it never started again! I think it can be bloke sealing or EGR! What do you mean. Did you ever had this problem?
Hi, Alan is that the same as the 2.2 like the Freelander 2 and focus 2.2 and what are they like to work on, i got the timing belt and water pump to do on a freelander2 cheers al keep up the good work .
Hi @Alan Howatt. I've a short question. How much coolant do I need to top up after replacing the thermostat? My thermostat is leaking and I must replace it. I want to do this by myself with your tutorial :)
@@alan4x you are awesome :) with your video I've replaced thermostat by myself. Perfect tutorial! You are way better than all workshops. I have one tip. When you will buy thermostat in box labeled by Peugeot, you will save ca. 30% money. Part number: 9804160380. It's exactly the same part, but much cheaper :) different is only package. Alan keep going with your channel, awesome job. Greets from Poland.
Hi Alan, Australian 2016 diesel Mondeo. Eratic temp readings on the gauge. Up to 3/4 and back down again to normal. When idling for over an hour though, temp on the gauge stays in it's noemal operating temp. Coolant level is normal with no leaks. Can you help with a diagnosis? Ta mate
hi, check this video out, failing that it could be a faulty thermostat unit as it all comes as one unit with sensors. ruclips.net/video/H3XSXq-1CKA/видео.htmlsi=zterjPwBzbta1xKF
Hi. Fitst of all: Great videos! I have the following problem: My temp gauge will rise if I use webasto to preheat the car before starting. But as soon as I start the temp will drop dramatically. It will start to rise slightly if I don't drive but as soon I start driving the gauge will drop to minimun. For me it sounds like thermostat stuck open but not sure. Just trial&error for a 300e part sounds costly. What do you think?
Hi Alan, your video helps me a lot with the maintenance of my Mondeo mk5, thank you for that! I have a question, after replacing the thermostat, how do you bleed the water system? it only blows cold in the compartment!! Thank you in advance.

thank you mr dragan😊
Alan please help!!!, im driving myself mad trying to find some info on the 2.2l duratorq in my mondeo. There never seems to be as much info on the 2.2 tdci. I have a low coolant temperature reading on the dash. Going to try changing the main thermostat and the oil cooler thermostat (if there is one), possibly the ECT sensor. The only thing ive managed to find is the plastic housing for main thermostat, cant find where the water pump is or where the oil cooling thermostat is!!!!
Excellent job! Thanks for the video mate!
No problem 👍
Hello alan do you have the part number for the o rings
Where is the fuse and fuse box for the Mk5 mondeo park assist module ?
I don't own a Mondeo but enjoy your videos Alan. 👍🤣
cheers
Hello, can you give me the number of the two gaskets where you change them in the video?
Hi Alan
Where do I get parts, my thermostat is leaking and have to replace it
Замудрëнная и не надëжная система. Чем дальше тем сложнее детали, о надëжности можно забыть. Поставьте простой элемент! Нет надо что-нибудь придумать, да посложнее, все гениально просто!
Hello Alan, please help. My Mondeo MK5 T8CC will stay too hot while the cooler and heater stay cold. Water level is OK Hoses don't get hard either. No water loss. What do you think? Thank you Alan
probably water pump impeller not spinning ruclips.net/video/H3XSXq-1CKA/видео.html
@@alan4x Thanks Alan, you were right. the water pump was broken. I've now installed one with a metal impeller.
Where was it leaking from on the housing
Hi Alan i have ford galaxy 2016. The heater is blowing but not getting hot also on the left side coming cold air and the right side is warm but not hot. When i turn it up it goes colder instead of hot. Any idea what causes that? Thanks in advance
Great video extremely helpful, Many thanks for taking the time to help people
Very welcome😊
Morning Alan, where is the Ford Galaxy mk3 thermostat located on a 2.0 diesel 2013
Hello, thank you for this. I have calorstat problème in same than in the vidéo. ( 308 sw gt eat6) . Peugeot say me you need pp2000 or diagbox ti change it. Its right ? Thank you a lot for process
Mine blew up today 🥴 Thanks for the video Alan 👍
How do you change the metal pipe that goes round the back
How the F did you get that 10ml nut off the rear pipe! 2011 ford kuga 2.0 diesel on mine and i cant seem to get to it
Very nice instructions. Could you please let me know if it is the same for the bi turbo cause a friend of mine drives one and has a leaking problem.
yes the same engine and thermostat housing
Thanks
I'm guessing the Kuga is the same, well going by the cost it will be
if its the same 2l engine as the mondeo it will be
Fantastic video thanks for sharing Alan
Is this the 2.0 PSA engine? Anyone know if the procedure is the same?
yes it is the psa engine...same procedure
Hi Allan
I had a leak , so we replaced the housing etc
No we don’t have any heat at all
Can you spread your knowledge here pls ?
Hi Alan, is the puddle of water on the gearbox produced by the thermostat?
Alan i really need your help. This thermostat is the same as my mk3 Ford focus. I bought one. This video helped me fit it. But now the top ain’t opening. Anyways my question is, where does the bottom hose connect to, and where does the top hose connect to and is there anyway I could have mistakenly mixed them up? Please please please help
Hi. The top radiator hose goes to the top thermostat connection and bottom radiator hose to bottom thermostat connection. I guess it is possible to get them on the other way around
@@alan4x so obvs the bottom hose should have a constant flow while the top opens at operating temp? Have you got a diagram I could use or anything just to see where the bottom hose and top hose are coming from ? Please
hi, can I ask you question, could you tell me why temperature goes up to 120 while driving over50 miles/h on motorway and comes back to normal when slowing down. Ford mondeo mk5 2l diesel 2016 reg . thank you.
Hi Alan! Question for You. I replace my old leaking thermostat to new, I don't no, how is normal coolant working temperature, at moment working temp is between 95-101 degree? ?? Mondeo 2.0tdci, 2017. My friend Mondeo 2.0tdci 2015 between 89-95 degrees with old thermostat
Dear Alan, could you be so kind and help with recognizing problem with cooling cirquit. Suddenly cooling temp started jumping from low to high and radiator is cold. Looks like thermostat is closed. But it has been forced to stay open and the problem is still the same. Next I think is broken water pump but is it possible? Is there any other element than can make such problem? Thanks in advance for your imput. Andrew.
hi... could well be water pump...this video might help ruclips.net/video/H3XSXq-1CKA/видео.html
@@alan4x Thank you very much for quick help. Kind regards
Thank you so much for another helpful video. I'm no mechanic but do find myself fixing my car myself just because I enjoy it. I actually have a Peugeot traveller but it's the same engine and need a bit more help if possible. The heater pipe that come out the back of the thermostat housing has a special clip and mines broke and I can't get a hold of another pipe from Peugeot since it's on back order with an unknown ETA. I've removed the clip of the old heater pipe and plan on using a reducer coupler or reducer pipe with spring type clamps, do you think that's a safe option. I only ask because I'm not sure if spring clamps would be strong enough to hold the pipe since Peugeot didn't use them for whatever reason. If you have the part number for that heater pipe it would really help so maybe I can source a used one even though the Ford pipe is slightly different I can try work with it. Also the pipe with 2 O rings, where does that go? Sorry about my massive question lol
i take it the clip is the one that holds the heater pipe from the heater matrix connection on the baulkhead to the thermostat housing..the clip holds the pipe onto the housing, i have spare clips..i can put one on ebay for you tomorrow and message you.
the pipe with the 2 o rings goes around the back of the engine behind the dpf and into the rear of the engine casing which the water pump fits into..you dont want to disturb that if you can help it
@@alan4x Thanks that would be great but I would like to replace the o rings also if you have them also. I can't seem to get any parts that I need from Peugeot but managed to get the thermostat housing from a parts distributor no problem on the same day. I am also a taxi driver and this is the worst time for things to go bad for me so any help would be appreciated thanks.
@Alan Howatt Hi Again, it's actually the clip for the pipe that goes to the water pump I believe. The heater matrix pipe has the 2 -O- rings on the peugeot. Anyways, out of 2 pipes 1 has a bolt clip and one has a clip, I need that clip.
@@TheAriiiiii i am thinking your car is a different setup...can you leave me your email and i will send you pictures, there is only one clip on these thermostat housings and that holds one of the heater pipes to the housing but maybe yours is different
HI dear , good and nice job , i love your teaching for mondeo replacement, just i have one question : ford mondeo 2015 diesel is same thermostat housing and location?
A big shout out for the Mk 4!!!!!
Keep up the good work, great tutorial!
cheers
Could someone please tell me what is the size of the o ring ? Here in Denmark I can't find them anywhere. And the pipe I'm afraid I'll have to buy it from Ford
Thanks for the video.....mine was loosing coolant but couldn't see any tell tales of water pooling anywhere on the gearbox housing, I recently purchased my car so no idea of full history but it does have dealer stamps in the book and receipts for the timing belt / water pump done at 139K miles and there is evidence of thermostat related bits sat under the expansion tank (spring and O rings) so guessing it could be on it's 3rd thermostat now as it's at 142k miles and could have been done at the same time as the belt and water pump. Upon watching this video it would seem that the thermostat housing looks to be relatively new but the return pipe to the expansion tank on mine is a normal piece of 1 inch rubber tube that is jubilee clipped in place rather than the smaller pipe. (the jubilee clips are still shiny !!) I'm not convinced that jubilee clips will do the job here as there's not much for it to grip with the type of union so have just ordered that part for now and see if this cures the issue. I discovered the coolant loss issue when my heater stopped blowing warm air so popped the bonnet and as a lot of coolant had been lost I did note a bit of steam coming from around the expansion tank area so panicked and turned the engine off quickly. It hadn't overheated and the temp gauge were normal at that stage so no damage. I've no other symptoms that leads me to believe it's a head gasket issue at this stage so I were very puzzled at the water loss.....Thanks for such an informative video Alan...really appreciated, hopefully it's just the pipe!
Hi. I have a problem with this engine. After connecting the diagnostic computer, temperature sensor 1 shows a good temperature, but temperature sensor 2 shows - 40
What is the reference of the O-ring
Hello Alan, I have seen your video and I think it is great,, to change said thermostat, first congratulations for your videos are of a great help, to repair our mondeos,. Well I tell you I have a mondeo 2.0 tdci 180 cv, 80000 km, I have observed that the level of antifreeze a little, and that has had lost by the area of the gearbox,, I do not observe the leak to which you refer in the box of the thermostat, no liquid, I understand it would be an internal malfunction of the thermostat, and open to change it, or it would only be the gasket of the same thermostat to the butt, I hope you can help me,,,,
I had not a common situation with my thermostat. It didn't leak and the top hose wasn't so much hot as I thought it would be, the only not good sign was that the car was warming up very slowly. I had to drive about 12miles to get the engine hot. I wasn't sure if the thermostat was wrong or maybe something else, because usually when a thermostat doesn't close, the top hose is getting hot quickly but in my situation it wasn't even much warm to think it can be this issue with constant open. I took a risk and I've replaced my thermostat. It turned out that it was the fault of the thermostat. Now, I need 6miles to get the engine hot in a winter weather about 0 outside. I drive with AC on for the whole year, so it was taking very long to get the engine hot. I think I would not know on summer that I have broken thermostat.
What sort of price are these thermostat housings to buy? Thx
they vary, search on eBay for best prices
@@alan4x thanks Alan.. they are around £160 then theres a £200 fitting charge if a garage does it. Not sure how long it takes to do the job but looks a time taking job? :)
that price sounds about right
Hi Allan, thanks for the great videos. I have a 2017 MY Titanium Diesel Mondeo here in Melbourne, Australia. Best car I have ever owned. My Thermostat housing failed and I lost the coolant, heater stopped working but engine ok. The repair cost AUS$1395. My question is can the thermostat be replaced separately to the housing or are they one complete assembly?
I ask this as the car has an extended warranty that specificall mentions the thermostat as included in the warranty. If the housing cannot be separated from the housing then I think I can and should claim this as a warranty repair. Cheers
hi mark, your electronic thermostat is all part and parcel with the housing assembly and can only be replaced as a complete unit ..hope you get your warranty as that price is very expensive
@@alan4x Many Thanks Alan! Love your videos.
Please help me. My car is a Ford S-Max diesel 2017. The same engine as the Mondeo. This car suffers from pressure in the coolant hoses, but the temperature is normal and it loses a little water. What is the problem? Help me.
@alan, I have this problem, can you recommend any shops to buy the parts? I can't find any
Hey nice vide ;)
im belive Citroen use same ones , how much is to replace them ? Thanks
Hi Alan question for you.
I have a 2016 ford galaxy recently I have noticed that both the radiator fan come while I'm driving when mean they come on I mean the engine feels like if it had aircon running inside the engine, the engine bay feels like it has been sitting in minus temperature thats how cold it feels even after a couple of hours drive any ideas?
Is there anything that doesn't break on the Mondeo ??? I've been driving FORD for 25 years now !! Capri, Granada,
Taunus, Sierra, Mondeo 1-5 But slowly I'm fed up. My Mondeo Mk5 has an engine failure with 140000km. The PSA engine is the last scrap
I'm always cheered up after watching you fix a failed part :-)
thanks
Anyone know how many miles these tend to go/leak?
Hi Alan,
I have a S max 2016 whit engine T7CL 2.0 diesel. I lost water from 50.000 km until now actually 107.000km and I never knew where. By my last refill I forgot to put back the cover back and I drove so on the motorway for 15 km whit 200km/h .
When I drove out of motorway appeared the key notification and after a few meters I accelerated but the car didnt want to accelerate anymore. I hold on and switch the engine off and it never started again!
I think it can be bloke sealing or EGR!
What do you mean. Did you ever had this problem?
Hi, Alan is that the same as the 2.2 like the Freelander 2 and focus 2.2 and what are they like to work on, i got the timing belt and water pump to do on a freelander2 cheers al keep up the good work .
That audio clitch is quite odd? Something in levels that cut audio partly?
Hello terbo man your RUclips blog is awesome Thanks
Hi @Alan Howatt. I've a short question. How much coolant do I need to top up after replacing the thermostat? My thermostat is leaking and I must replace it. I want to do this by myself with your tutorial :)
just fill the coolant expansion bottle to the level afterwards and run the engine with the heater set to hot..recheck the level when cool
@@alan4x you are awesome :) with your video I've replaced thermostat by myself. Perfect tutorial! You are way better than all workshops. I have one tip. When you will buy thermostat in box labeled by Peugeot, you will save ca. 30% money. Part number: 9804160380. It's exactly the same part, but much cheaper :) different is only package. Alan keep going with your channel, awesome job. Greets from Poland.
Hi Alan, Australian 2016 diesel Mondeo. Eratic temp readings on the gauge. Up to 3/4 and back down again to normal. When idling for over an hour though, temp on the gauge stays in it's noemal operating temp. Coolant level is normal with no leaks. Can you help with a diagnosis? Ta mate
hi, check this video out, failing that it could be a faulty thermostat unit as it all comes as one unit with sensors. ruclips.net/video/H3XSXq-1CKA/видео.htmlsi=zterjPwBzbta1xKF
Thanks mate, I'll check the overflow pipe. Much appreciated
Check with the engine hot or cold? (sorry to be a pain)
does not matter but probably check when engine is warm or been running for a while
Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions. I realise that you would be an extremely busy man. Onya Sonya
hi Alan. i recently changed my ford galaxy Thermostat. but still leaking from some where. why is that ?????
maybe you need someone to diagnose where your leak is then you can change the faulty part
Hi. Fitst of all: Great videos!
I have the following problem: My temp gauge will rise if I use webasto to preheat the car before starting. But as soon as I start the temp will drop dramatically. It will start to rise slightly if I don't drive but as soon I start driving the gauge will drop to minimun. For me it sounds like thermostat stuck open but not sure. Just trial&error for a 300e part sounds costly. What do you think?
Hi Alan, your video helps me a lot with the maintenance of my Mondeo mk5, thank you for that! I have a question, after replacing the thermostat, how do you bleed the water system? it only blows cold in the compartment!! Thank you in advance.
it should self bleed by itself, try pulling the bleed pipe off the thermostat housing, if not you may have an issue elsewhere
@@alan4x thank you very much for the information
Have you got to tell the each of you changed the thermostat?
what !!
@@alan4x sorry, auto correct, ecu
lmao, oh yeah thats a right pain...no,no just fit the new housing and thats it, it will calibrate itself, good luck
@@alan4x thanks mate, love your merchanic videos! They help with the st tdci models. Engine wise anyways.
