Do Mk5 Mondeo Diesels Need Special Care/servicing

Hi All,

New member here, just picking the brains of current Mk 5 Mondeo Owners.

I am thinking of replacing my ageing Scorpio Ultima with a Titanium/Titanium X Modeo Diesel.

I belive I read somewhere that these newer diesel Mondeos need their fuel filters replaced every 1000 miles, at extortinate costs, Is this information correct. :blink:

My only experience of diesel technology was my 1986 1.6 ltr Escort van which was virtually unbreakable, I used to do 1500 miles a week for almost 3 years and it never missed a beat, without the bonnet open you never knew it was a diesel. This information regarding the fuel filters on later Mondeos has left me swaying towards a 2.3 litre petrol variant, Unfortunately these are scarce in comparison to the deisel varinats. I am not in the position to go for the 2.0 ltr Ecoboost Engine.

Thanks in anticipation. :)

Peter.

    Hi Peter,

    I presume you mean either the MK4 (2007 (57) - 2013) or the MK4.5 (2013 -- today)?

    the fuel filters dont need replacing that frequently. The servicing remains at once a year (12.5k miles) whilst the best advice is to change the air and fuel filter every 6 months to get the best out of the car.
