Engine lubrication system — general information For Ford Mondeo engines, multigrade oils should be used. These oils are based on a liquid specialty oil (e.g. 15W), so they don't need to be changed depending on the...
Oil circulation circuit Ford Mondeo engines are equipped with a so-called circulation lubrication system. The oil pump draws the oil from the oil pan through a strainer and forces it through...
Oil pressure check Check the oil level, top up if necessary. Warm up the car, the oil temperature should be at least +80°C. This temperature, under normal driving conditions, is reached...
Checking the hydraulic switch The hydraulic switch must be checked if the oil pressure indicator light on the instrument panel does not light up at all or is constantly on. If the light is constantly...
Removal and installation of the oil pallet Withdrawal Disconnect the ground wire (-) from the battery. Attention! As a result, data in electronic storage devices, such as an engine fault memory or a radio code,...
Coolant circuit The engine cooling system mainly consists of a radiator, a coolant pump, a thermostat and an electric fan. The coolant circuit is thermostatically controlled. As long as...
Antifreeze poured into the radiator The manufacturer fills the engine cooling system with a mixture of water and antifreeze and anti-corrosion agent from Ford. Antifreeze and anti-corrosion agent prevent...
Coolant replacement It is not intended to change the coolant as part of regular maintenance. If the coolant was drained during a repair, it can be collected and reused, as it contains...
Checking the cooling system for leaks Leaks in the cooling system and the function of the safety valve in the threaded radiator cap must be checked using a special pressure tester in the cooling systems....
Removal, installation and check of the thermostat Coolant temperature controller (thermostat) as the engine heats up, it opens the way for the coolant to the radiator. If the thermostat remains closed due to some...
Thermal switch test (diesel) The thermal switch in the diesel engine is located at the bottom of the radiator. It turns on the electric fan if the coolant temperature has reached a certain value. It...
Removal and installation of the fan motor Withdrawal Disconnect the ground wire (-) from the battery. Attention! As a result, data in electronic storage devices, such as an engine fault memory or a radio code,...
Removal and installation of a radiator Withdrawal Remove the fan motor. Raise the car on the goats. Unscrew and remove the lower facing of a radiator. Drain the coolant through the drain screw at the bottom...
Removal and installation of the pump of a cooling liquid If the coolant pump fails, it can only be replaced; pump cannot be repaired. If the shaft seal is leaking, then when the engine is running, the coolant flows down the...
