jeebowhite Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 probably 2 - 3 hours labour I expect. Give a few indies a call, they will give you a price :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I fitted the equivelants to a Mk 1 Mondeo Petrol and it took me about half an hour. I dont know how much more difficult a Mk3 diesel is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregers Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 depends on whether your handy with a few tools? do a search on the net for a tutorial im sure there is one out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm no mechanic - just an enthusiastic amateur. I could change that in about an hour. The worst bit is taking the O/S mount off as you need to drop the engine about four inches for better access (you can try it without doing that, but you'll have a hell of a job man-handling the tensioner in/out. You'll need a "special tool" to release the tension on the belt - cost about £12 off of eBay. Again, there's ways of doing it without but "the right tool for the job" makes the whole episode a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
