  • Timing Chain, Ford Mondeo Mk3 2L Duratec.
    Thought i would check out what kind of a job the timing chain is to replace.
    In the car its tight and not a very nice job but i am surprised by the quality of the timing chain.

    Since I bought a mondeo mk4 duratec 2.0 a month ago for my wife to drive around the city, this video will help me to take care of the timing chain and the camshafts for checking the valve clearance. I'm planing to install LPG as well then this has to be checked quite often. I've seen stretched timing chains in this engines especially with LPG. If you ever have chance to make a video about Valve Clearance Adjustment in Duratec engines, please make it. Most people don't know they have to check Valve Clearance from time to time especially in high mileage cars and quite often when using LPG. Thanks for all your videos.

    Quality work as ever.
    I'd agree that to do that with the engine still fitted would be almost impossible, especially trying to do the locking pins and crankshaft torque.
    FYI - The crankshaft pulley, the timing teeth works on the principal on one tooth missing. There was a full ring of time, equally spaced but where TDC is, there is one tooth missing. Some engines do one tooth missing the others do one singe tooth at TDC.
    I'm waiting on the next video where you pull apart the bottom end so that we can see some melted bearings :)

    My mk4 petrol has done 141,000 miles and is whisper quiet, uses no oil and gets me 36mpg. The duratec is a Japanese designed engine that's got enough torque to pull in a high gear at lower speed. The v6 duratec is not so robust with many suffering head gasket failures. I had 2 mk1 v6 mondeos that both went the same way. My first was a v6 S.i and the second was a ghia x. The problem was with the waterpump that had the plastic impeller which would detach from the shaft which resulted in overheating. And once those v6 engines cook then head gasket failure is virtually inevitable. Weak spots on that engine were cylinders 3 and 5 that would eventually 'vent', both mine made a ticking noise that sounded like an exhaust leak. Very few if any problems with the 2.0 engine and is a good balance between power and economy. Great video by the way!

      @@marinusapeldoorn6631 I had the clutch and flywheel done last year. The petrol version is a lot kinder to the flywheel than diesels which produce more torque. The one I had fitted was a brand called LUK. I changed the auxillary belt, idle pulley and tensioner, they have a long service interval of 150k miles! I changed the valve cover gasket too as there was a bit of oil that had leaked into spark plug ports 2 and 4. Usual wear and tear items like discs and pads and tyres etc too. Still has the original exhaust and cat though! Probably the most comfortable car I've ever driven.

      @@simonjohnhinton1938 I bought mine at 80000 miles at a Ford dealership. Immaculate car but shock absorbers totally worn and major oil leak from right hand drive gear box oil seal, which had been able to be ignored by 3 different Ford dealers who maintained the car during the first 9 years of its life. The selling Ford dealer cleaned up the gear box and hoped I didn' t notice. However I did and the right hand horizontal drive shaft part had to be replaced because of not being round enough or being too rough on the surface, causing the oil seal to be broken again every time it was replaced under guarantee. Car is fine now, I had the shocks replaced by Bilstein B6. Would you be willing for a little technical experiment which is not too complicated, just out of technical curiosity?

    Man you just made things a lot better for what I have to do. I had the exhaust cam jump a couple teeth due to a mistake I made that I won't get into. The fact that the cam gears aren't keyed to the cams means I can just loosen the bolt on the exhaust cam, advance it back to the proper position with the intake cam, and then just retighten the bolt.
    Inspection camera showed no metal bits or damage to the pistons, whether I bent the exhaust valves is yet to be determined.

    At 25:30 you mention about being able to loosen the camshaft sprocket bolts if the locking tool wasn't fitting into the slots in the other end of the camshafts but that while you could re- tighten the sprocket bolts, you couldn't torque them. All would not be lost though, if you had crowfoot wrenches available. :)

    You can use a normal bolt instead of the pin, just put it at top dead center and then put the bolt in till it is up against the crank, it can't turn anymore than your bolt and its got more surface area so you don't have to worry about bending the pin when you mess with your pulley for the crank

    Hey there Alan, really enjoy your entertaining approach to vids. I'm looking at a 2.3L Duratec with a leaking front crank seal. I believe this is the same 2.3L in the pre-skyactiv Mazda6's?? In any case, I'm just trying to be certain as to whether I can remove the crank pulley to get to the seal without having to do all the re-timing palava ... ie is the timing sprocket loose behind the pulley or fixed to the crank timing chain sprocket so it can't move once pulley is removed. Thanks;-)

    @lindadavies5298 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi I’m amazed as a trainee looking at that crankshaft pulley having no key way hopefully that bolt that holds the pulley is torqued up really high because as you say the oil pump sprocket on the crank shaft is held in place by the compression of that bolt meaning a lose bolt could with the engine running allow the oil pump to free wheel and stop functioning. I’m really surprised fords allowed that?
    Great vids alan.

    Hello mate I work as a fork truck engineer
    And the chain on the 2 litre ford petrol engine is very similar
    With multiple plates on a single link
    So basically if the same style on chain on a counter balance is similar in design typically the ford chain I'd say is damb near indestructible
    Any just thought I'd add a different perspective
    Love the videos
    I've got the 1.8 lynx engine(converted to chain....wet chain)
    And a mk3 duratorq 2.0 litre in a focus titanium x navigator

I see several guys posting a lot of knowledge but it feels awesome to see the simplicity you tackle several problems. I tried to send you pm using yt but isnt available because im trying to learn how to fix my own mk3 2.0d and maybe you can help me by giving me some leads or tip top. my glow-plugs got stacked and the only way to remove them is to get out the engine or disassemble it from the top (engine bay) but before i even try i would like to ask you for advice and the torque values to tight back these elements. thanks in advance. cheers from poland

    Alan, you are a top guy. I have watched this video over and over. I have the early mk4 Mondeo, with 175000 on clock, so practically the same. I love your channel and It gave me inspiration to checking my timing, chain and auxiliary belt and pulleys whilst it was still in the car! I followed your advice, took pictures videos and was very methodical. I loved every minute.
    My only issue no is the car turns the engine but makes no and I mean no attempt to start. I know what your thinking... battery - new, spark plugs new and tested, starter fine. I have spark. Fuel - yes, pump working and evidence of fuel in the cylinder. Compression... still waiting to complete this test which is likely to be Tuesday now. Cam sensor replaced new. The car had no real issues before the replacement, although the chain had suffered with a bit of stretch and the tensioner was on its last legs.
    Any advice...

      @@maxevans9688 - Well put it this way. I went mental and stripped the entire engine after I found the stretch.
      For me, the timing was out. Because I did a full strip down including the head gasket. Before rebuilding. I manage to solve the issue.
      I really enjoyed myself. The only advice I could give is take pictures and videos and label everything.

    I wish the timing cover was that design on the Puma oil burner of the same era. The diesel one is a bit of pressed tin. Impossible to get off without distorting as it has a bigger contact surface area to the block by the aircon compressor. And a nightmare to try and get off in the car. I had the pawl fail in the tensioner on my 54 plate @ about 110k miles. I got it before it jumped the timing. At idle with lower oil pressure the chain slopped around! Did the guides etc at the same time. Something gone again inside it now at 220K but its got other issues with the fuel system now. Sounds like a guide gone.There was quite a bit of chain stretch on it. Apart from the early swirl flaps and coil packs, they were a great engine with few weak points so long as you maintained them. This was the era when ford had money invested in Mazda.

    Hi Alan, is the ford spec'd 913c/d oil essential for engine longegity? Recently bought a second hand 2013 Focus TDCI here in Taiwan, which I believe has the same engine. The ford spec w913c oil isnt easily found here, and dealer serviced with Motul 8100 x clean 5w30 (not the ford spec).

    Hi, I would like to ask if the crankshaft sensor has to be in alignment with the crankshaft pulley? (I have notice that the crankshaft sensor can be slided up and down I don't know if this has an affect on timing)

    • @callishandy8133
      @callishandy8133 ปีที่แล้ว

      You found the problem !
      Dont do these work when you have no service information (copy of the manual or DVD text or ... or ...)
      You need tools, time, maybe a helping hand from a strong man.
      You need a clean area and clean the motor better than you see it here in the video (=my opinion).
      See 7:20 the pin at the side alligne the crankshaft.
      The hole in the pulley and behind in the aluminium the hole is the alignment for the pulley.
      The tooth at the pulley are used by the crankshaft sensor (left from the pulley).
      Dont move these sensor (or mark the position at your own risk).
      Dont safe money and buy a new pulley screw, sealing, gasket,
      two drops of car silicon (=no corrosive for aluminium = no bathroom silicon)
      and some part more plus cleaning material.
      You will have a lot of problem if you loose these alignment oft the crankshaft sensor !
      See the description at the service manual.
      If you are at beginner level and not well skilled = This is not your work, even if it look simple !
      A good nice video ! Based on the service manual.
      A beginner cant lift the engine out of the engine compartment.
      If the engine is in the compartment = IT wil be very difficult, less space, a lot of problems additional, but possible.
      Lift the engine out and change the 2-mass-fly-whell, the clutch, the water pump, the thermostat.
      Ok a lot of money but you can sleep well and use the car for miles and miles and miles until the rust ...
      Attention the pulley screw is normally VERY tight ! Very tight !
      And you need a long break bar. But you need to hold the pulley !
      NEVER EVER NEVER EVER only a pin (or screw) throw the pully hole in the soft aluminium hole !!!!
      Luky if you got a these tools we see in the video.
      The man got a good air compressor for air gun tool and a BIG inner diameter air hose 10 mm inner diameter (not good 6mm).
      Buy these. Compessor you can use for a lot of thinks (not to small a big tank with a lot of air volume).
      The air hose is well when the inner diameter is 10mm and not the cheap thin inner diameter.
      The air gun is with a normal no-name brand around 65 Euro = 55 GBP = USD 70 = 100 AUD from a china brand name.
      A usefull tool for car mechanics.
      By the way = A lot of money investition ? Ok you think a no-name garage is cheaper ? Well
      In the video you see the 2nd pin (I use a screw).
      Be aware the 2nd pin (or screw) can break easy the alumium when you use the torque wrench with 100 NM
      (and then mhhh ??90 degree ??). EASY break the aluminium !
      Read the service manual before you start working.
      No manual ? No good idea.
      Google and search words Mondeo MK3
      You find possible internet forum with privat Mondeo owners.
      If I need some helping information I read these text in the forum and-or ask.
      Some privat persons are maybe ford technicans with own Mondeo MK3 ?
