Hi all,
Just thought I'd share my experience with Timing Belt and Water pump replacement on my 2016 MD Mondeo TDCi. Quoted from Jefferson Ford $495 for water pump + $195 for Timing Belt (don't come as a kit) + Postage so over $700 just for parts alone. That prompted me to try for aftermarket components. Contacted local Bursons they gave me a part # for a kit from DAYCO all up $600, when I looked up the Part # I don't believe it would fit the MD Mondeo I've been bitten with DAYCO items before..... thermostat housing comes to mind. Still not convinced this was the cheapest I did some deep dive google searching and got a Bosch part # 1 987 946 960. To which I purchased from eBay seller: Parts4Car in Lithuania for GBP 142.22 with posting to my door equated to AUD $310.80. I bought the car 6 months ago with 165k on the clock and knew it hadn't had timing belt replaced. Car has 172k on it and good timing as the water pump showed early signs of leaking. Found a brilliant YouTube video with pretty much step by step instructions on how to do the job from a guy in the U.K. here is a link: https://youtu.be/toKv2yUoU6Y?si=9m94sbHmBOcZ1xbt I've attched pdf with images of Bosch kit and leaking water pump if anyone is interested, also the Bosch water pump has a cast aluminium impeller where as the genuine Ford one I removed was plastic! |
