Answered by Honest John. This is a chain cam engine. All Mondeo III 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.5 and 3.0 petrol and diesel engines were chain cam. Vital to keep the engine oil clean. If you do, the chain will last the life of the car. Tags: cam belt or chain. When did Ford stop using timing chain on Mondeo? From 2000 to 2007, all Mondeo cars, such as ones with the Mazda L, Duratec and Duratorq engines all had a timing chain. From 2007 to 2014, cars with the 1.6L sigma and ecoboost engines as well as ones with the 2.5 5 cylinder had a timing belt. When do you know to change the timing chain?

Hi I have just got a 2009 ford mondeo 1.8 edge tdci ten weeks ago it has 83000 miles on the clock . On Tuesday gone I was driving along when the car just died and would not start had it towed in I have a 2004 Fabia fitted with a 100bhp (74kW) BBZ engine which follows the QG0 service schedule. This is the 16v DOHC petrol unit. My dealler recommended that I should change the belt at 40,000 hours or 4 years. My manual states 80,000 miles, and my Haynes manual states 60,000 miles, without any time limit. RAC called, operative diagnoses suspected wet belt failure within minutes of arriving, apparently it's a common fault (I would tend to agree after some quick research). On RAC advice, the vehicle has been taken to the nearest Ford dealership. At this moment it's waiting for diagnosis, suggested 3-4 weeks as dealership is so busy. SB. yes get the cam belt kit changed,this will include the belt and the pulleys. use a gates kit (this is who makes genuine ford kits) or a genuine ford kit. should cost around £200 for an independant garage to do it,a good bit more for a ford dealership i would guess. work permit granted!

Had full ford Service History - even had the belt changed at around 75k. Don't think they changed the tensioner though. We've had the belt done at 110k, (not tensioner) - which has failed at 150k - and it looks like a new engine is needed. Average mileage fourth-generation Mondeos start at £10,000, which nets a 1.6-litre 56-plate hatchback with 30,000 on the clock. Around £11,000 will secure a 2.0 Edge hatch or Zetec saloon. A SmEur.
