- Replacing the fuel filter on a 2019 ford tourneo custom with just over 60k miles on the clock.
A pretty easy filter to replace and to bleed the diesel. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Now you see why they don't get changed. I did the diesel filter on the Octavia last week at 80,000 miles. A complete doddle and no drips, and done from inside the bonnet with a T20 driver. I had an old Connect TD and you didn't have this palaver either. They both self primed as well.
Evening Alan
I have mk4 mondeo with 220k+ on the clock. I do most of my own work but every 20k or so i send it to evans halshaw just for the stamp really. Last time i asked them to do all filters etc etc and cost me £250+
I had the MOT done at the beginning of May and passed of course with no advisories. I then did a service myself with all filters and i can tell you that diesel filter had not been changed for a very long time, i could tell because there was no tell tale marks of removal. The filter was worse than the oil filter and after changing the car ran so much better. Such an easy job, why couldn't evans have done that? How can I trust a large company like that? Ill do it all myself from now on, stuff the stamp, i dont need it.
Anyway, Where's Monica, we miss her 😔
I changed my fuel filter in a 1.8 TDCi. Not knowing the proper procedure, I just started the engine. It ran for a few seconds and then stopped, and then I had to manually pump fuel into the filter from the tank to eventually get it to run. Spent a few hours fighting with it. Great job!
What happened to Monika??
Massive difference in size of filter. Well thought out placement for the filter.
Thanks for your tutorials, you've saved me a lot of time and money with them.
I found the best way to prime this is do the same as you did but leave the drain tap open slightly over a drain pan. Then leave ignitiion switch on, and gradually close the tap when you see a constant flow of fuel coming out. You will hear the pump run constantly until tap is closed and then it cuts out once pressure is reached i believe.
We change these every 10k on our texi fleet, drain first then close. Half undo it then drain again. Comes out lovely then
Good video alan ... was talking to the girl in ford commercial service department.. she told me that they have 135 transits in for recall for the injector problems ... unbelievable anyway s pal.have a good weekend thanks for sharing again
Dziękuję za ten film. Filtr już wymieniłem i nawet się nie oblałem ;))
Thank you very much for the video, it’ll help me out as I’m going to service my 2019 custom tomorrow, it has 72k on it and it’s never had a fuel filter. The spanner light has popped on a couple of time so I’ll change the fuel filter too.
Regards
Mark.
.Good informative video Alan,keep them coming
Does the oring on the new filter need lubing before screwing it up ? It was torture listening to it squeek and groan all the way in!
I look after a fleet of transits and change these quite often. One bit of advise DON"T just use a normal socket to remove this filter. There is a proper socket available that has two cutouts in it that fit onto the nut far better than a normal socket. Using a normal socket CAN round off the plastic nut because as you've seen in video they are really tight. The special sockets costs naff all
beat me to it ... they're only pennies so well worth getting i have damaged them myself with a large ring spanner
So you need a special tool to take off the fuel filter......good grief 😕
Alan what a nightmare. That tap was a waste of time. You still got soaked. I was surprised at how tight it was on too. Roll on your next video Alan 👍👍👍
I do a huge amount of them on the enterprise vans, they drain out nice; but you still get an armful of fuel even after leaving them for half hour draining. I always do them first before the oil oil change so i trying to fire the engine over while trying get oil pressure from new oil filter.
Buen video amigo. Thanks and greetings from Spain
I replaced the fuel filter on our transit, same job as this. Changed it with a Bosch filter and after comparing it with the FoMoCo one that came out it was the exact same apart from the names. Not sure but maybe Bosch make the filters for Ford. I smeared some diesel around the rubber o ring and it helped it to tighten up. It is a messy job especially lying on the ground!
Excellent work 😀😀👍👍 kind regards Mark from Billericay 😀
Good job Alan.
I usually put silicone or ptfe spray on the o rings to make them go in easier.
I put a small piece of pipe on the drain and when I replace the filter put a little oil on the green O ring to help it go in...😊
No better mechanic in the world than Mt Clean oil and Mr Clean filter.
Nice video, quick question. Aren't you supposed to disconnect the fuel hose before removing the filter? I don't see that part in the video.
Another great video thanks for posting it and the tip in primming the filter b4 hand. Question have you done a video on changing the wet belt on a custom. 2019 euro 6 2,0 And do they do an upgrade so you can change out the wet belt to a chain, michael nottingham 👍
That drain tape maybe to remove water from the filter. They were common on fuel filters years ago. Not that I ever bothered drained them.
At last !!! thank you very much for this video! Based on my experience with older Fords (diesel), I was afraid to do it :)
Hi Alan ive heard the new 2.0 transit engines are crap. What do you make of these engines compared to the previous 2.2?
Good video, well presented, Thanks
Your welcome
Top info as ever.
Hey Alan, least you’ll be wearing a new scent of deodorant Lynx Diesel 😂
🤣😅😂
Good video Alan 👍
I usually lubricate the seal with a smear of diesel, do you do the same?
At least with this engine there is no pain with bleeding as is with 1.8 tdci 😂
mate:) thank you for sharing. Great video.
I do prime all vans what I do in workshop like that - works like clock.
Sprinter master boxer transit
Spot on thank you !
cheers
Thanks man ! Спасибо!
Thx Alan:) what about ford transit connect 2013? How can i change fuel filter my transit connect
dzięki za film ;)
👍
Extra tight going in was because you fitted the new filter with a dry o ring. It will be lucky if that doesn't now give trouble going forward for someone
Hello Alan I like watching your videos I have been watching since I purchased a Mondeo in 2014
I have a question for you I have a ford b max on a 64 plate with 30000 miles on it it now gets stuck in gear usually 1 or 2 this has happened 4 times yesterday I have to turn off engine to move it out of gear and then I can continue my journey but this happened 4 times yesterday I have been told there is no clutch cable on this vehicle (I don't know much about cars )if this was the clutch I take it I would be going nowhere and the pedal would go to the floor (had this fault in a nova years ago) so the clutch seems okay it is not slipping mileage is low any ideas what does this sound like to you this vehicle was inherited from my late father who really looked after it the mileage is exceptionally low for year and he never abused or drove a car in a bad way so I know it has been well looked after which is why I took this vehicle (my dad would own a car until it was falling to pieces) I know this vehicle has been extremely well looked after I am dreading a very expensive bill I take it if the clutch was gone I would get no gear at all any ideas/advice would be appreciated I know it has to go to the garage I really enjoy watching your videos ever since I had a Mondeo MK4 titanium x and still watch now even though I have this b max
There's a special socket available for this which also works on the galaxy
Scan tool will give lift pump run option I recon.
VW e5 engine is critical prime property.
Happy days for this transit for next 60k miles
Both those filters are made by Purflux so could save a good amount of money but still get the genuine filter 👌
Great job Alan, yuck yuck would not be My choice of words when something like that happens😁, Thank You👌👍🙏😎
Thx mate 👍🏽
👍
Im curious what mine will throw up on its first service. Mine too is a new Transit but the plug in hybrid (petrol). The software on vehicle is crap and often says 'engine over temp' when im on ev mode and engine service when its had only covered 11,000, engine oil requires changing, etc etc. Nice van but system is full of gremlins.
Engine service could also mean its got a fault that needs scanning actually it doesnt always mean just a service is due but that theres an actual fault code like a sensor gone bad etc
£20.00 worth of diesel in the bin really helpful Ford
The trick with them filters is to cut a notch out the socket to get on the filter because that drain screw gets in the way and when they are tight and you rounded it is stilsons go on ask me how I know LOL
Yep I've done that, make life so much easier on those fuel filters
Alan are you familiar with bosch common rail
The problem I can see with the tap is it doesn't have a vent to allow air into the sealed filter area hence whats left is because of the vacuum created .
Very very good remark! Curious what the official Ford changing procedure is!!!! There should be a vent again, when filling the filter....
You should disconnect the fuel line on top of the housing and then open the drain valve. That will allow air in from the top, and Bob will be your dry uncle, instead of soaked in Diesel.
Hello Alan, Ford have missed a trick there. They could have put it somewhere less accessible.
Hi Alan
Have you done the wet belt?
These transits are really bad for the belts going anywhere between 50-80k
I have had so many problems with theses transits and wet belts
Ford say 140k or 10 years but they are not getting close
Stupid idea to get like 0.1 more mpg/negligible emissions gain and its likely even worse on the diesels than the 1.0 ecoboost because the oil will get a bit diluted with fuel from dpf regens which is likely to react with the rubber and wear the wet belt even faster but make sure your using the oil that meets the ford spec for the engine not just the correct weight because wrong oil can also be formulated in a way that wears the belt faster
Tell me I'm not the only one shouting LUBE THE O-RING😢 😅
I wish all fuel filters were that easy to change.
Hi mate, what’s the best way to contact you?
how many miles has that done
61755 👍
there a poper tool for there flter
Great video Alan, ive had my mk1 transit connect 1.8tdci for 10 year and never done the fuel filter 😬😬
The tap is a waste of time I change these on a near daily basis I ve found its best to just put the drain tray under and take them out to the point they gush and run 😅😅😅 and to prime it ignition cycles 10 times at 10 seconds 🎉🎉🎉
If I was you I would of put a little smear of grease on the threads to make it slide round easier
I WOULD SUCK DIESEL OUT BY CREATING A VACUUM THEN BLEED SYSTEM USING SAME METHOD I WOULD SUCK OUT MAYBE 2 LITERS , BUT I MUST SAY CRANKING METHOD DID WORK , I WOULD SPRAY LUBE OIL ON O-RING FOR FUEL FILTER HOUSING AND THREADS , THAT FUEL FILTER TOOK WAY TO MUCH FORCE TO PUT ON.
That lower bushings was really bad as well 7:13
You should have lubed the seal.
Great video, but what a crap design. Whoever designed it has never had to change a fuel filter, same applies to some oil filters, one thing I like about BMW there oil filters are normally dead east access on top of the engine.
Alan
Cheap flights to Manila
Kuwait Airline !!
Have a look .
Mine was £585 return Manchester mate !
Bruh oil up that o ring
Electronic? Isn't the pump just electric? ;)
Must have lost 20 miles in wasted diesel 😂😂😂😂 and that drain tap is useless
At least £52.81 wasted 😂😂😂
Ford have went shit
change the filter at the end of the day or you'll stink all day of diesel..
😜 *promo sm*
AA man told my pal Adblue is the worst thing you can run you run this engine as long as you fuck-king can, he works in the motor trade and he hears all the horror stories, i went back to petrol when the opertunity came along i was looking and looking till i found a good one, 01 focus 1.6 petrol and i will run that car as lonf as i can
Eh?
@@FatHead1979 plenty of videos on the pros and cons of adblue. i had an 08 diesel focus witha dpf, blocked a few times even with weeklyt trips on the motorway. friend wa told stay away from adblue cars, or anything after 2011
The problem with those old focus is rust is killing them all off so maybe do some preventative maintenance before it rots away and becomes uneconomical to repair it to pass mot
@@sbrader97 well i have a good one from what ive seen
@@TheMcooper17 Keep it that way and get it coated with some wax/underseal
