So thankful for your videos Alan! Very instructive, which helps a ton! As soon as I'm about to do anything on my Ford Mondeo Mk5 I always look for one of your videos, it just makes everything a lot easier!
Thank you Alan for a great video which helped me a lot. There is just one suggestion I'd like to make. There is no need to prise out the vertical cable tie mounts (not easy to do without damage) as they have a slot to enable a new cable tie to be threaded through. So you can just snip off the existing cable tie, leave the mount in position and then thread a new cable tie through leaving the 'anchor' nice and secure.
🤣remove the front bumper !! I wouldn't put it past manufacturers for that to be the case these days !! Alan, thanks so much for this video, I've got a new battery ready to go into my MK5 Mundano and wasn't sure how to do it. Thanks to this brilliant video, I now know how to do it and have the relevant tools. A star you are and love the comedic elements to the proceedings. Liked n subbed, cheers, Daz, Leicester.
More than welcome Al, just done the battery swap over and thanks to watching your video and taking notes it was a doddle !! I fix coffee machines not much of a car mechanic but happy to have a go of course. I bought a pry tool from Amazon, didn't need it, someone else has already broken the plastic lugs haha !! The yuasa battery I took out has a green dot which says the battery is ok, yet recently a couple of times where I've not driven the car over the weekend come Monday morning it wont start. Out comes the booster pack to get me going again. I picked up a TopDon battery tester which showed the battery is charging ok but the ampage is only 45% , 490amps out of 730a. Anyway, whacked the new one in now so all good. cheers again Al , top man 👍
Today I changed battery on my 2015 Ford Mondeo 2 liter diesel. For sure this video was helpful. Just one note - my airbox did anything but "pop straight out". It took 10 minutes of wrestling in 0 degree whether 😖. But finally it gave up. Thanks Alan- Keep up the good job 🇸🇪
You legend! Thanks for this! It was ever so slightly different in my Australian model, but I got the gist from you and was able to get it done. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for making what was going to be a frustrating journey of discovery into a simple process - picking up a new battery tomorrow. Oh and FYI here in Australia we refer to a 40° day as "just a normal summer day". :)
Thank you. I was wondering should I remove the air intake hosing etc and I'm glad you confirmed the idea and shared the details. One note, instead of removing the full air filter box/assembly I found two little clips in the side so the top of the filter box could easily pop off. Might be slightly easier. Great video thanks again.
Great video! For me it worked without removing the battery wiring entirely! So if you wanna save some time, just remove the whole airbox as described and you can easily slide in/out the battery without struggling with those wire clips or the earth lead.
Hello Alan and thank you for all your videos. Have original battery on mk5 2l 6 years (start stop), still working but planning a replacement because i do not want to have bad surprises far away from home. Original batt is 70AH , 720 A AGM . As a replacement I can find Exide AGM 70 AH (760 A) or Varta Silver AGM with same values. I do not consider EFB batt because I can see original is AGM. What is your experience regarding AGM/EFB and is this something to have in mind when buying new replacement battery (in order to avoid misbehavior of subsystems)?
hi, with jumper cables...the positive lead goes to the positive of the battery and the earth lead you connect to the metal lifting bracket on the engine or the engine mount
Hello Allen, hope you see this message. On my mk4 facelift mondeo I have a 80amp original battery. Can I go up to a 85amp one, reset the Bms, and go, or should I go for the same 80 amp one. What ar the risks upgrading to a bigger one. Cheers, hope to hear from you!
you would be fine with the higher amp battery as the electrics will only draw what is needed but in all honesty i would stick with the correct spec battery
Alan can you show how to attach jumper cables to mk 5 mondeo without having to move the battery. Is there a place to clamp the neg cable other than the neg battery terminal. Thanks.
Hi Alan, I recently acquired a Mk5 Bi-Turbo diesel Mondeo and used your video to help change the fuel filter and rear brake pads. #BRILLIANT! Question; I was looking around and prices of batteries as my stop/start rarely stops now and believe it could well be due to battery capacity. I went on to the Halfords website which does seem very competitively priced BUT, they recommend it be fitted by them as they say "Most vehicles require this battery to be registered with the on-board computer system". Is that the case on the Mk5 Mondeo as I didn't hear anything about that on the video? Thanks in advance, Paul
hi, yes using a diagnostic tool you can tell the body control module that you have fitted a new battery, its not necessary to do that but best to as it resets the smart charging system quicker
Hi Alan, great video, thanks! What abou battery management system(BMS) reset? I've read it is needed to prevent new battery by wrong charging current. Thanks for answer! Michal
Miso Drobny Hi. Yes you are right. I always miss something out. Lol. If the battery is actually replaced for a new one or if the body control module is replaced then the bms should be reset. On a snap on scanner it can be found under body control module
@@alan4x Hi Allan. Can you tell me if I can reset the BMS without IDS? I found somewhere a sequence like:1. Start ignition / 2. Press 12 times the rear fog button/ 3. Press 6 times the hazard lights button / 4. Ignition off / 5. Start ignition and you will see that battery light will blink 3 times. But...I don't know if somebody tried this method or not. Please, can you tell us if you know about this? Thanks
Manual reset for Bms on most fords is ignition on,headlights on press rear fog light switch 5 times then press hazard light switch 3 times and wait for battery light to flash hope that helps :)
Thank you for the video, with your instructions, I was able to replace my battery that suddenly stopped working. For information, the new battery I installed in my Mondeo mk 5 completely drained after 2 months. The mechanic jump-started it with a booster. I went back to where I bought it (a chain of mechanics that also sells spare parts), and they told me that the problem is that I installed it myself, so I didn't perform a reset on the control unit (to let the control unit know that the battery is new), and therefore, the alternator is not charging it properly. So, they say I should leave the car with them to fully charge the battery and then reset the battery status on the control unit. Do you think this is necessary? Is it required to reset the battery status on the control unit every time you change the battery? Thank you very much for the information.
I have different air inlet pipework on my 2015 Mk5 Titanium. Had to split the air filter box to reach under it with a crowbar to free the box from the 2 rubber grommets. Also managed not to move the cable trunking fixed to the battery tray, just lifted the battery onto the trunking to remove the connections and then lifted it over the trunking to remove it. Now hoping that the heated screen will see me through the winter. Don't get me started on the BMS in the cars. 😡
You are supposed to reset the battery monitoring system in the body control module but if you don’t it will sort itself out anyway so don’t worry about it
@alan4x Thanks. Just didn't want to find car won't start and I had to take it to garage to reset computer. Sync 2 so no radio code so one less problem.
One question, I need replace battery when I finish will sound on blinkers and sensors will be back? Because now when is battery empty its all weird sound coming. Or do I need some reset and how?
A quick question - if the car is locked when I pull the battery the alarm goes off. But as my car is on the road I don't want to leave the car open while the battery is in overnight for a charge (it's not getting used at the minute with the lockdown). Is there a way to leave the car locked and remove the battery, without the alarm going off?
@@JamesWhiting96 I ended up throwing a spare battery in (was a small one from a fiesta - but good enough to lock the car) while I had the main battery out for a charge. Have done that a couple of times now.
@@alan4x thank you for your reply. Ive been noticing the see manual key lighting up since I changed the battery. it is absolutely random, sometimes lights up after few miles, sometimes after using the car for two weeks. It is quite annoying. have you seen anyithing like it before? do you have any idea?

I recently bought a Mondeo 2.0 TDCI 180HP old 3g with 90tkm and I constantly travel the same relation of 650km on highway and the consumption was about 5.3 l per 100km , i drive 90% on cruise drive. Tree months ago, the Chek engine turned on and I turned off the car and started after a few minutes and the lamp was no longer on, went to the authorized FORD service and they said that the battery has to be changed (waiting for the battery) in the meantime it was driving and the consumption jumped to 7 l, changed the battery in the service a week ago and canceled some minor mistakes over OBD (steering wheel, parking sensors, etc.) they telling me that after some time driving consumption will come back to the old one just needs mileage. Now I drive and drive 5000km highway however it still spends 20-25% more and it does not show any error on the tester, today I go again to an authorized service and nothing no error , they chekd DPF and EGR over diagnostics and said it is ok. What can go wrong because low voltage of batery , or something else. Some idea what it can be? Thx
I need a new battery in my Mk5 and I was quoted $290 for the battery and $100 to install it (52 pounds), because they need to "reprogram the ISS". Is this required!?
it'd the press of a button to tell the ecu your battery has been replaced using a scan tool but i can say i have changed numerous mk5 batteries and not carried out the reset without any problems
@@alan4x Ah OK thanks Alan! They said 15 mins to replace the battery and 30 mins to reset the BMS, which I think is absolute BS. For everyone else with the same question, this is how you reset the BMS without the scan tool: Turn the key to position 2 (the ON/RUN position). In cars with push button start you press the button without depressing the brake / clutch pedal). The engine warning light in the dashboard will now be lit permanently because the engine is not running. Wait 10 seconds. Press 5 times in a row the switch for the rear fog lamp. Toggle 3 times in a row the hazard warning lights (on-off). The hazard warning light will keep blinking now. Wait 10 seconds. When the procedure has been carried out correctly, the engine warning light will blink a number of times and the system is reset.
Hi, I did reset to the Mondeo 2016 this way. Ignition on -> 5 times flash high beams -> 3 times brake pedal. Only that way I managed to get 3 times battery icon flash and now start/stop working after the battery replacement
you are supposed to tell the car you have changed the battery with a scan tool but this rarely gets done and i have never found any problems from not carrying out a reset
@@alan4x thnx! I called the Ford Dealership, they'd charge me a ridiculous amount of 380 euros (!!!!!) for a new battery. I found one with the exact same specs for 130 euro's and had a guy install it. He also reset the car to 'brake in' the new battery otherwise it wouldn't charge the right way he said..... anyhow thnx.
Hi Alan, thanks for the video. One question : what is the purpose of the cover around the battery? I ordered a replacement battery for my Mondeo Mk5 but the new battery showed a slightly higher length and to fix it I had to use the second position of the battery bottom clamp (in your video you can see there are two positions provided). So I cut the cover open so that it is now partially around the battery. Has this any importance?
47k march 2018 titanium edition Battery light came on when driving within a short distance car limp mode and then stopped refuses to start battery losing charge rapidly recovery person connecting it up and it still won’t charge/start the car battery quickly goes down to total zero for all intents and purposes???? MK5 No indication of problem other than stop start stopped working about five weeks ago
Hi Alan, I’m considering changing the battery on my MkV 2015 Tdci as the heated front screen and stop start are now inoperative even after charging the battery for a couple of days. I notice this is an agm battery fitted to this model. When I search for the correct battery on Eurocarparts and other suppliers an efb battery comes up in the search results. I understand these are slightly lower spec than the agm but considerably cheaper. Any idea if I can get away with fitting a efb on this model?
Turns out mine is an efb battery fitted from new not an agm as I originally thought. . Ford must have changed to agm batteries on this model sometime after mine was built. Managed to pick up the correct efb one from Halfords for £88 Inc vat with trade discount (model efb 110).
The most ridiculous access to a battery in history. All I wanted to do was disconnect the bloody thing so I could leave it in storage !!! I was warned ⚠️ 😮
I prefer to start doing other way round as when I connect positive first and then negative cable to the body I always have massive fireworks. Last time when I did i messed something in my body control module. I think this ford invention is complete crap.

@@Thedogbond do you know if it will work even replacing the battery on a Galaxy 2.0 tdci 150hp with S&S , year 2016?
Do I need to perform any resets after the battery has been replaced?
you are supposed to tell the car you have changed the battery with a scan tool but this rarely gets done and i have never found any problems from not carrying out a reset
@@alan4x thnx! I called the Ford Dealership, they'd charge me a ridiculous amount of 380 euros (!!!!!) for a new battery. I found one with the exact same specs for 130 euro's and had a guy install it. He also reset the car to 'brake in' the new battery otherwise it wouldn't charge the right way he said..... anyhow thnx.
Hi Alan, thanks for the video. One question : what is the purpose of the cover around the battery?
I ordered a replacement battery for my Mondeo Mk5 but the new battery showed a slightly higher length and to fix it I had to use the second position of the battery bottom clamp (in your video you can see there are two positions provided). So I cut the cover open so that it is now partially around the battery. Has this any importance?
See the video after 2:00 minutes : there is a second bolt hole underneath your finger.
It's much more fun to open doors of a Mercedes Benz A-Class with a flat battery, because the battery is mounted inside cabin.
oh my god, yeah...drop the engine out to change a water pump..those cars are great fun lol
OMG I thought you really have to remove the front bumper 😂😂

Hi Alan, I’m considering changing the battery on my MkV 2015 Tdci as the heated front screen and stop start are now inoperative even after charging the battery for a couple of days.
I notice this is an agm battery fitted to this model. When I search for the correct battery on Eurocarparts and other suppliers an efb battery comes up in the search results. I understand these are slightly lower spec than the agm but considerably cheaper.
Any idea if I can get away with fitting a efb on this model?
hi.....i would ask the supplier if the battery is compatible with start stop as it is an uprated battery and not cheap
Turns out mine is an efb battery fitted from new not an agm as I originally thought. . Ford must have changed to agm batteries on this model sometime after mine was built.
Managed to pick up the correct efb one from Halfords for £88 Inc vat with trade discount (model efb 110).
Just bought the efb 110 from Halfords 3 years after you and its now £120 with trade card 😂
Mine is tea' milk' 1 sugar please. Get your boss to make it... lol
Legend!!!😆
more difficult on Smax
😀👨👩👧
The most ridiculous access to a battery in history. All I wanted to do was disconnect the bloody thing so I could leave it in storage !!! I was warned ⚠️ 😮
I can't believe how poorly designed the Ford mondeo is. A battery change out shouldn't involve taking out your air filter for "extra room"
Its more easy compared to Mk4
my god this is a bad design
first battery ive had to youtube on how to remove hah
lol
you could have cleaned the battery well it was out... Ha-Ha
lol
I prefer to start doing other way round as when I connect positive first and then negative cable to the body I always have massive fireworks. Last time when I did i messed something in my body control module. I think this ford invention is complete crap.
thanks NZ
Did this battery have the Rico modification?
