  3. Drivetrain (Mk4 Mondeo)
    Hello - i did the PowerShift oil and filter change - easy! I trawled TalkFord and Google for all the available articles but followed the best (in my opinion). Following Alan Howatt's YouTube video (thanks Alan) and BadgerTronix YouTube video (thanks BadgerTronix) it was easy. I also followed...

  9. Mechanical (Mk2 Focus)
    Hello everyone, I have a new to me 2005 Focus Mk2 2.0 Duratec which seems to behave quite strangely. I changed the oil and filters at 130,000 km when I bought it, and after 700 km the dipstick showed about 1/3 below max. Thinking I got an oil burner, I kept checking the oil almost daily, but the...
  10. Diesel Engines (Mk4 Mondeo)
    I've been hearing a noise when the car is slowing down in gear. Faint scraping noise. Goes when I dip the clutch or press the accelerator. I decided to check my fluids (all ok) and then had a look under the engine cover. Low and behold, an oily pipe. I'm assuming this is a leaky pipe, and I'm...

  14. Diesel Engines (Mondeo Mk3)
    Hello everyone, Currently I'm running into some kind of mistery about my car. I have a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDDI 115ps. Today morning before I leave to work I checked the oil level. I take the dipstick first, clean it up so it doesn't give false measurings. The oil was above max level. I double...

    Hi all My Son has a Fiesta 1.6 Diesel. It's got 86k on the clock and a very solid runner It's just passed it's MOT today (no dramas). The mechanic tipped me off to a oil leak coming from the turbo and blowing all over the side and bottom of the engine. He suggested it would be the gasket or...
