A few things done over the past few months: - New fuel filter and seals last week - much better and actually starts now. - New glow plugs fitted about a month ago - same after this. - Starting motor changed for a different motor about 2 months ago - not new, but a pre-loved one. - Hose from the fuel filter housing replaced about 2 months ago
1: Disconnect the fuel return line, its a quick release coupling, just puss the two sides inward and gently pull. 2: Remove the 2 screws on top of the fuelfilter and remove the shield. 3: Disconnect the fuel filter to fuelpump line, again, a quick coupling. 4: Disconnect the fuel supply line at the back of the filterhousing, it's a bit hidden
Manufacturers’ recommended filter change intervals vary widely between every 20,000 and 150,000 miles. Check the manufacturer recommendation for your model in your owner’s handbook. A pressure test will indicate how much PSI the fuel pump is generating at the fuel rail. A faulty filter will reduce the pressure produced.
Conclusion: lousy design cannot believe the badly located pollen filter on the mark 4 mondeo. I also believe with many comments posted, that dealers will not replace the pollen filter- or if they do they'll charge two hours labour (as a default position). Potentially £8 parts + £160 labour crazy! at Ford main dealer.
What you need to do is locate the aerial amplifier which in the Mondeo Hatchback should be located at the top inside of the boot trim. You can then simply swap the FM/AM amp (7CP1-18C847-EA) for an FM/AM/DAB amp (7CP1-18C847-HA) which you can buy for about £35. So.. providing you can find the red box it is a very simple job!
