The engine flywheel is worn causing bad vibrations through the vehicle but in this case the flywheel is not rattling
I had to get the clutch & DMF on my Mk4 Mondeo 1.6 tdci replaced along with a broken driveshaft. Had to get recovered by the RAC as I had lost all drive. The car drives so much better now.
I really enjoy your Mondeo mk4 & mk5 videos they are so informative & interesting.
I had a secondhand galaxy a few years back which ended up driving like a bag of nails. Hadn’t heard of DMFs at the time. The clutch started slipping at about 100K miles and I had it replaced with a new DMF as well. Couldn’t believe the difference, it drove like a new car after that. As you said though costly for a clutch replacement. Thanks for the videos, always watch them when you post.
thanks AndRu
I had the same in a 2014 insignia, a few years back, similar mileage as well funnily enough. Certain versions had bad gearboxes & the bad fly wheel would take the gearbox out with it!!! Keep posting Alan, you're a true legend!!!!!
thanks graham, have a good one😁
There's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on 🎹🎸😁
🤣
At least it was quite clear for you what the problem is so you can take care of it as soon as possible. Enjoy the fix :)
lol, done so many now i can tell most problems on those mondeos by the noises they make
Been chasing same issue on my mk4 golf think this has solved it- cold start idle and rev on the way back down get a vibration ….. and get vibration under mid to hard acceleration ….. once warm the vibration at idle is hardly noticeable…. Depress clutch 1/2way hear a metal faint grinding noise …Think it’s my dmf is in the way out
My quote for today will be "absolutely bolloxed"
Having the American version of the MK5 Mondeo, it's so strange seeing the steering wheel on the right side and Diesel clatter coming from the engine.

Alan, you're great and hilarious, I've never done a Shorts, either, this is a short video... In the car trade is this is called Rattling it's C**k off, or bolloc*'d as you correcltly determined
lol🤣
Alan i have a 2013 2.2 custom van, i know the clutch needs doing and it shakes like your car, would this also make it sound as if the battery is low/flat, wondered if it was drag, as this is something else i have noticed…
I never knew cars could feel the cold like us humans do. Turn up the heater in the workshop - that Mondeo is freezing its nuts and bolts off! Or perhaps it's scared of going in for surgery!
awesome info as always Alan
Thanks chris
TAHANKIOU ALAN
😁
That's some severe vibration on that bonnet.
lol
Alan my wife took the van out and when i past it it was in a lane and was shaking back and forth, any ideas. lol
lmao...that might not be the flywheel🤣
Hello wonder if you can help I’ve got a 2018 Ford fiesta diesel six speed manual 11,000 miles I used the car for work and every night after an hour of driving around town when releasing the clutch pedal the car will shake or shudder when pulling away in first gear or reverse. This happens after an hour every night any ideas what it could be thank you
Hi again
If you remember
Also have little problems with the manual gerbox? Because of the clutch? Some time dificult to engage or dificult to shifting or sticking on the ger 2 or 3
Please if you know
I have same car also never have clutch done 120 k miles On the clock
could be the clutch centre plate sticking on the input shaft splines, apart from that check your gear cables are secure on your gearbox
@@alan4x thank you very much
Same symptoms with my mark 4 this time last year. 168k miles at the time. I thought it was the harmonic balancer at first. Clutch and flywheel replaced!
expensive job
Hi I’ve a 2.2 diesel mk4 mondeo with a shaking gear stick Is this the early warning of this it’s been idling rough when cold for months and no mechanic I take it to seems to know what’s causing it
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Absolutely bollox'd 😂
🤣
The focus TDdi had not this dual mess things, and lasted forever. Then came the TDci...
lol
@Alan, I've got a Galaxy mk3, 2009 with 395.000 km experience :). 220.000 km's ago the dmf with clutch is renewed. At the moment I got a resonation for a second or two when accelarting in 3rd gear or higher when the engine is running less than 2200 rpm. Above 2200 rpm I don't have resonation/vibration. Could this be the DMF? When engine is running idle there is no vibration..
i doubt it, they normally rattle at idle with the clutch pedal pressed half way down
Hi my car is vibrating only when engine is hot when cold no vibration can that be dmf thanks
I have the same problem with my 2016 DS5 that shakes like crazy when idling. difficult to shift gears at higher revs. the problem is known and the repair appointment has been made at my garage, it just has to last 7 days before it is my turn. the fact is that it drives fantastic, but this is really my very last French car, always having trouble with that French crap
hope it goes well
Been driving a Focus forever with a suspected bad dual mass flywheel. Does it feel like clutch chatter when you try to take off smoothly?
yes you can get a chattering noise from the flywheel
I wanna see..! 😉
Please show us how badly worn a badly worn flywheel is.
hi peter.. ruclips.net/video/2489NAlgQVg/видео.html
this one is much better if you not seen it ruclips.net/video/JcCQz937uwg/видео.html
@@alan4x
Thanks very much. 👍
Video on the second link was quite interesting. Hadn't seen it - probably from before I discovered and subbed' to your channel.
@@Peter_Riis_DK cheers Pete, have a good one
you wait till you have a transit one go they are filled with grease packs one if them splits its like an earthquake
lol.🤣 i will remember that if i ever have the misfortune
Alan I think mine has just developed the same or similar problem maybe I could pick your vast brainy knowledge, 2012 mondeo taco with the psa engine vibrates on idle and if you rev it slowly shakes like the one in your video but no matter where I put my foot on the clutch it’s still the same it’s almost like a misfire but I’ve changed all the injectors so could it be the dmf on mine as well thanks in advance your a star p.s. it’s got 148000 miles on it and apart from te vibration drives great no loss of power or anything 👍
at that mileage there is a high chance the flywheel is failing, many people leave them until they are rattling pretty bad as it is an expensive job
@@alan4x thanks buddy I thought as much I had one go on a focus cmax and that just rattled and only shook starting and stopping the engine that’s why I though it was a running problem but as usual I found all the answers I needed from your good self keep up the good work matey your doing a fantastic job
cheers paul
Video Alan?
you want video of clutch change.. ruclips.net/video/JcCQz937uwg/видео.html
They are such noisy distinctive engines, i loved my mk3 but nothing would quieten it down
Check/Adjust valves every 45k km
Alan, I'm asking you for little advice. I have a problem with a Ford Mondeo MKV 2.0 TDCi - vibration at idle (at steering wheels and seats). Sometimes they are strong, sometimes weak. No faults codes. I have already replaced all engine suspension cushions (3 pcs), I've changed the PCM software. Nothing helps. The engine runs perfectly when regenerating the DPF filter (like petrol engine), there are no vibrations. Have you had a similar case? Please give me some advice :)
its something i would need to experiance, but not had any problems like that
I have similar issues.
Did you get to the bottom of that?
@@i_am_dragos Nope, I didn't find any solutions :/
I’ve got a 09 focus 1.8tdci which likes to vibrate/shake and sound like it has a minor knock on idle , not all the time but intermittently, when it’s revved even the tiniest bit it goes away. Could it be the same thing? 150k miles, no clutch slip & perfect engagement. I’ve had the car for 12,000 miles and it’s never gotten any worse
Your DMF is on its way out
we used to have a fleet of 1.8 tdci mondeos...the flywheels were terrible on those engines, you have made yours last well but sounds very much like flywheel...put your foot half down on the clutch pedal and see if you can hear a rattle..thats the flywheel
I've an old school diesel car and everything shakes like that when it's cold.🤣
I've heard before of taxi drivers having the dmf welded solid to stop then rattling😂
i thinking the drive would be very harsh with a welded flywheel lol
@@alan4x Probably, but you of all people should know how oblivious some drivers can be to mechanical maladies 🤣
@@andyc3856 lol
I have a 60 plate Titanium X but it's different to this, the engine is smooth sitting still but accelerating turning left the whole car shakes badly, Already had the R/H drive shaft changed and just fitted new disks and pads but still there, I don't hear any wuring from a bearing and the problem only shows during acceleration, I can get up to 70 and let off the accelerator and everything is smooth, any ideas?
Following this...did you find the fault? I have mk5 that vibrates under load. Hoping its a driveshaft and not a clutch assembly
@@sneakybeagle5185 I suspect the dual mass flywheel is knackered, in talks with a local garage now for a price on repair.
Hey Alan, love your content! Just wondering if you've ever ran into this problem with all your experience with MK4 mondeos. I have one that is leaking water in somewhere from the rear end, and can't figure out anywhere its from, nor could my mechanic without a full strip down. It's ending up in the spare tire well in the boot, and soaking the carpet on the passenger rear footwell. I have tried to find it so many times, and can't locate anywhere it might be leaking from. Any possible ideas you've seen in your years with these cars?
Check your door seals. Just replaced my rear driver side as it was worn. Seat belt was damp. No issues now
Had a leak on a Ford Escort Ghia X years ago, it was caused by the seal round the rear light
There is a known issue with the Focus where the water gets into a void under the boot and sloshes up into the boot when you brake. The water gets in through the air vents that are behind the bumper. You just silicone seal them up. If its the same design on the Mondeo there is a rubber bung on each side about 6 inches behind the back wheel that will release all the water.
I’ve seen this mentioned on one of the mondeo forums - can’t remember what the answer is offhand but it’s not un-common on the mondeo.
i would check your door seals and tailgate seal plus seals around the rear lamps that can leak into the boot or get someone to hose your car while you sit in side and see if you can see water coming in somewhere
Haha hes back
hi sead, hows it going😁
@@alan4x Its going great my man😀happy to see you again,hope you are well

cheers neil...yes when i get the time i will make much longer vids but anything even slightly interesting i will do short vids to keep the channel alive
could be a job for Miss Monika
🤣
Vibration through the seat. I know women who would pay for that!
lmao🤣
Please don't give car manufacturers any ideas
Barely worth fixing unless you're a mechanic. Not with those miles anyway.
Lol it’s a taxi , you think new clutch and it will still do another 100k , how much money would a taxi make doing another 100k ,
@@Phil-1969 in Australia these vehicles are worth nothing. Absolute lemons. Especially since they never sold the manuals here. Poisoned chalice with the powershift boxes and people going WTF with DPF issues
@@DoubtingThomas333 Why would Ford curse you guys down under with the Power Shift. The Fusion (Mondeo) is one of the more reliable cars on our roads in America. We got ether a manual, Hybrid, or a torque converter 6 speed auto. The auto is the only one that has some hiccups, but it's still a decent transmission. That PowerShift will turn any reliable car into a complete turd.
@@OhPhuckYou if you have one in working order, you need to change the fluid and filter regularly. Also forscan once a year or so to train the transmission for the wear on the clutches. I used to throw in a bottle of Lucas automatic transmission fix every fluid change too. Besides this, they have design flaws and several ways they will become a nightmare or ruin everything, leaving you with an enormous lawn ornament.
@@DoubtingThomas333 Those DSGs came from the factory with problems. The only two cars that Ford cursed us with were the Focus and Fiesta. I'd personally never buy a car with that god awful transmission. I've known too many people have endless problems from 30K upward. It sucks because the Focus was a otherwise good car, but that DSG ruined it, and Americans don't like stick shifts.
I don't see Ford being stupid enough to put it in any other car for the USA market now.
They were really bad here because everyone drove them like a normal automatic making clutch wear even worse. I've heard roomers of people having good luck with them if they drive them like a manual (Not creeping at low speeds), keep up with fluid changes, and re flash the PCM, but that's still a huge no from me. Watched that transmission mechanically total too many nice low mileage cars.
