Love your vids, saved me heaps of money not going to a mechanic. Tried using a shifter on the 24 mm fuel housing not a good idea will wait till I get a socket. Cheers mate have a good one
Hi Alan just fitted a new EGR plastic cover after it had a 60mm crack in it . By following your video now he wants a oil and filters changed. So again thanks for showing me the way . Hopefully that's the last I see of it. They haven't got a very good name over here. Perth western Australia.
It's taken me longer to confirm that I don't need to prime the filter than it took to actually change it. I'm glad I found this video, it settled that question. Thanks!
Good video. I didn't realize you were working with a diesel and I went to check it out on my fusion 2.0l eb to realize it wasn't the same. Still very good video though
Thanks for this clip. What I wanted to see was how the second fuel pipe, (timeline 2.22 in your clip), was removed. There is very little space to work with when it came to pulling the pipe back. I was patiently looking forward to see how you did it but that section of film is missing. I tried to lever it gently but broke the connecting tube on the filter housing. Had to buy a complete unit. Otherwise a very well presented, down to earth, step by step guide. Thank you.
For me changing that fuel filter was easyer when engine was hot after driving. When I first tried cold engine those fuel hoses were too stiff also I had wrong filter from mannfilter (be sure to have that small cylinder in other end of filter). Those white clips are shit. They got broken and removing them was painful. After I removed them I used 3.5mm zipties which worked great.
Thank you for your video. Because of you, I was confident to do the filter change by myself. After the change of the fuel-filter the car needs 0,5 liter fuel per 100km more than before, is that normal? Or did i something wrong?
On the video Alan at 2:02, that pipe you pull out is leaking. It's leaking because the pipe is slow deteriorated near the clip. I'm struggling to find the right part number for a replacement pipe. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi mr Alan i hope u ok. Always watched ur videos if want To do something work on my Ford mondeo mk5. I have little problem with fuel filter. Even I remove the lock but still pipe don’t want to come out plz help me with this how I change fuel filter . Bundle of thanks
every 10,000Hi Alan, GREAT video on fuel filter replacement, now I know how to do it...BUT I have another long running problem. I have a 2008 Mk 5 Mondeo from new and gets oil and filter changed every 10,000 miles. If I go out on a very frosty morning and wait until the glow plug light goes out on the dashboard and move to start, it fires first time, every time. Great. However after say a 10 mile journey and the car sits for 20 minutes or so, when I go to start it again, it takes about ten attempts before it will start. The heater plug light goes out instantly and the engine turns over but just wont fire up. I keep doing this until it finally starts. In short..starts when cold, hard to start when warm....any advice would be welcome as otherwise it is a great going car.....thanks Joe
could be a difficult one, might be worth replacing the fuel filter replaced and getting the ecu read for any codes which could point you in the right direction
fantastic. Interesting that they've gone back to having an electric low pressure pump. Maybe too many people were running out of fuel and having problems 😂
Hi Alan I cant get that first fuel pipe of my fuel filter. An when it hasnt been changed for ages does it affect the power.Could u help me out please p.s love your videos have helped me loads.
if it won't come off sometimes you have to pry the pipe off but you must be careful not to break the pipe on the filter housing and yes if the filter does not get changed it will become clogged and cause fuel starvation etc
Hi Alan. I’ve got a question. If I remove the first pipe you removed in the video and then I start the engine can I drain some diesel that way and will be any warning light on the dashboard after that?
the pump will push the diesel out of that pipe pretty fast...you may get a spanner symbol on your dash but when all is connected up again and engine is run it will go out by itself once the fuel pressure is back to normal
@@alan4x looking forward seeing you take the gas pedal off...i wonder ...does it still have 3 bolts, 2 on the bottom and one up...??🤣🤣🤣10mm were they... how i know...?? Because the same 'miracle' engeneering is on my wifes volvo and my moms ford fiesta....beatiful stuff.?..cheers😎

Hi Alan, Great video thanks. As a guy who really seems to know his stuff I wonder if you may be able to give me some advice regarding my 2.0l TDCI MK5...I've only just bought it and it seems to be slightly low on power (poor acceleration) and gives poor fuel economy. (Compared to my previously owned Mk4). I've taken it to a ford dealer and there were no faults showing, but they were pretty much as good as useless as to what it could be. Its has a full service history. I'm wondering if its turbo related, I don't think its the fuel filter as I cant see that making this much difference, but maybe i'm wrong. No smoke from rear. It just doesn't have that kick that my old MK4 had. Any help/ideas would be much appreciated..Cheers Glyn
hi, you are not the only one to say this, the mk5 is a bigger heavier car and it is not as quick as a mk4 2l diesel the same as the mk4 is slow compared to a mk3 2l tdci...if there was something wrong with your car i am pretty sure it would be noticeable..there are so many sensors something would be picked up by the ecu.
I have a 180 bhp mk5, it just didn't feel as quick as I would expect. This seems a common complaint of the mk5. I had mine remapped and it totally transformed it. It now goes as well as a 180bhp should do. It also improved my fuel economy. Mine's a powershift and I was getting 36mpg before which has now gone up to 43mpg which is around town. Was the best 200 quid I spent so really recommend it
@@robertconnors2343 Thanks for the input Robert, I'm not really clued up much on remapping...how would this affect the emissions for an M O T . Is it legal etc?? Is it something you need to have done professionally?
@@glynparsons9403 I've had mine done for the last 6 months and had no reliability issues and it's passed an mot since. A remap basically changes the characteristics of the ecu and changes fueling etc. It's something that's been done for years, and shouldn't cause any issues as long as it's done by a reputable company. Just search engine remap and where ever you live in Google to find companies near you and check the reviews. Honestly it's the best thing I had done to my mondeo
Hi Alan. Is there any water trap in the Mk5 fuel filters we need to worry about? Ford Etis says "Drain water, if not renewed - Diesel models (with drain facility)"
hi robert, i can't speak for the 1.5 and 1.6 diesels but the 2 litre diesels do not have a water drain on the fuel filters and have never seen any water in any of the filter bowls
how did you disconnect the second hose? because there is fastener in the way and I cant move it in the direction that it needs to disconnect, also cant loosen it its own closest clip... such stupid design
Brilliant video very helpful and glad to see these are self priming
Super thanks Alan! This makes it real easy for a guy like me who isn't that used to doing this kind of thing.
Very welcome markus
Could not be better explained, great video!
Many thanks for an informative video that gave me the confidence to do this myself, mainly due to the self priming function, keep up the good work
Excellent!
You make everything look so easy
lol, i know, lots of practise

well done for fixing that and yes they do have have a few too many faults

Just bought a 66 plate galaxy. Seems to have a fuel leak. Gonna check out the filter pipes tomorrow. Cheers.

hi, yes i should have mentioned that, that second pipe is a bit tricky to remove and fit back on
Awesome video 🎉😊

Alan at 2.08 can you get these white clips separately
Good fast neat job on the mk5 fuel filter Alan, is the 1.5 tdci same process?
Thanks
Dermot.
don't know, we have no 1,5 tdci but i would guess they are different

Bit of a random question but does anyone know why the later year mk5 2.0 diesels have a modified airbox without the separate chamber and pipe?
fantastic. Interesting that they've gone back to having an electric low pressure pump. Maybe too many people were running out of fuel and having problems 😂
My mondeo very smokey on accelerating would dirty fuel filter be the problem?
Wunderbar :-)
is bleeding also not required for an 1.6 diesel?
Thanks 🙏

Anyone know were I can purchase a fuel filter bracket. Mine is missing
Is this same for 2.5l motor

@@alan4x Thank you very much for the reply. When I need it I will pull the pipe and turn the engine to see how it goes.
Is this the same Filter like the Filter under the car ?
Can you tell me the Partnumber in Germany OEN Number
When putting back in the New fuel filter should it pop back in. Or just sit in.
you push it back in...you will feel it locate with a little downwards pressure
Why on connect van is it a sealed metal filter
probably because it costs more for you to buy the metal canister filter
What about a video for polenfilter changing?
thats a bloody good idea lol.... i never changed one yet...i wait till there is no air blowing on the screen...i will look into that one..cheers
@@alan4x looking forward seeing you take the gas pedal off...i wonder ...does it still have 3 bolts, 2 on the bottom and one up...??🤣🤣🤣10mm were they... how i know...?? Because the same 'miracle' engeneering is on my wifes volvo and my moms ford fiesta....beatiful stuff.?..cheers😎

Ha the Citroen n Peugeot logos on filter housing and engine bay French engines I guess
PSA engine indeed, as the 1.6TDCi
I had to use a vacuum cleaner to prime my mk4

how often does fuel filter need to be replaced?
you would be best to replace it every 20k miles
60.000km
how did you disconnect the second hose? because there is fastener in the way and I cant move it in the direction that it needs to disconnect, also cant loosen it its own closest clip... such stupid design
