Mondeo ST TDCI
New to this forum so thought i may aswell throw up my little project
Times and dates may not make sense as most of it is copied from another forum but im sure youll get the idea, ive owned the car for about 7 months now
So...
Bought it completely standard about a month or so ago
Full service history
New Injectors
New EGR valve
New fuel pump
And a few other bits and bobs
About 3 weeks later
This happened
Old vs new
Sorry for the rubbish picture, but now looks like this
Has actually made a pretty noticeable difference compared too what i was expecting
So currentley fitted:
HID's
White side lights
White numberplate lights
Blanked off EGR valve
Bigger intercooler
Decat
DMB Badges
This week ill be getting quotes for the rest of the exhaust system too be custom made so hopefully get that done in the next few weeks! then ill be looking too get it mapped
About to order Eibach 40mm springs in a minute, may look into coilovers in the near future but want too get all the grills done in gloss black and the wheels too be refurbed in graphite grey first

First off, i took a trip down too infinity exhausts near bristol and had a full stainless system from my decat back made up, extremely happy with how it now sounds
I then did a little wrapping inside, dont usually like carbon wrap but decided too try it out and tbh i really like it! none will be going on the outside though
Then did a little debadging and fitted a new numberplate
Ohh and a rubbish video, but you get the jist
Let my mate drive it as shes insured on it now, she loves it

Done a few bits today as the car isnt being used untill ive got a new dmf fitted
Alloys were an absolute state, decided to do a tempoary spray job on them untill i get them powdercoated
Cleaned all my inner arches with TFR and gave it all a good scrub and found some calliper paint in my shed from my old car

Clutch was fitted last month, booked in for a new gearbox (first motion shaft bearing is going) new aux belt tensioner, belt and new pulleys and a full service
Also

Wheel spacers for the rear, these are 10mm and ideally i want 20mm for the rear so once i get a chance ill put these on the front
Also i have removed the front upper and lower grill, fog light surrounds and rear trim bits to spray gloss black and will be splitting the headlights to spray black
After:
Ignore the lack or rear trim, in the process of spraying it all

I then had the wheels refurbed in a nice anthracite
[img]https://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p483/willliamjames/9c193021.jpg[/img
That same day i fitted my wheels i gearbox decided it didnt want to play ball anymore and went bang
so the next morning i made a start stripping the gearbox down and getting it off
Have to drop the subframe off on the mondeo to get the gearbox off
Currently fitting my 3rd gearbox and 2nd solid flywheel and clutch after the origional dualmass exploded
this is the damage inside the bell housing

as I'm still waiting for my new clutch to arrive I've been just fiddling about doing some little jobs I've wanted to do for an age
Painted my callipers yellow as the red didn't work anymore with my new theme being blue and yellow
Also refurbed my drive shafts, new cv boots too and painted the shafts up
And for the banter
Another video now its all back together
http://i1152.photobu...09F968F73BF.mp4
and how it looks now

Good news and some frustrating news
firstly, it got mapped today
Annoying bit is that i have some bushes gone on the front end which is causing the car to skip when the power was put down on the dyno so i dont currently have a print out of the current power it would get to 175bhp then the wheels would just start spinning on the rollers
ive been told as soon as i get all the front end bushes replaced he will put it back on the dyno and get me a reading, hes pretty sure that its now over 200bhp though as he has done a fair few now with no mods and got some pretty tasty figures, obviously i cant prove this untill i get it all sorted though
Also the car is now a dream to drive, pulls really hard all the way through the revs and i even managed to get it spinning all the way into 4th gear :s
and then 60 miles later my turbo decided it was going to die
Right so ive ordered a new turbo and that should be here today ''17th october''
That just about brings up up to date today
Please feel free to rate or slate

looking good mate, weve just bought a tdci st aswell and i love it, we managed to get one with xenons, recaros, satnav, parking sensors etc.
It needs a new egr which i will get from jaguar soon but at the moment it is blanked off but as ours is a 56reg/euro 4 model it sometimes goes into limp mode with the blanking plate so we will have to keep ours working.
where did you get the single mass flywheel from? has it made any difference to pick up speeds?
if our dual mass goes ill be fitting a single mass aswell.
got any videos of the exhaust sound? i want a stainless for ours but cannot stand daft diesel exhausts
looking good though man

Took my car back to the place i got it remapped yesterday and got a full refund and the car back to standard map
the car sounded like it was boosting way too high, i need to get hold of another turbo for the time being to get me back off the road then the plan is to get my old one sent off and rebuilt and uprated by turbo technics

Got my new intercooler today, smaller in terms of height but works out as the same specs as the old one as its thicker/wider
Should hopefully be able to be mounted under the crash bar so it can come further out the bumper as my last one was so tall it had to sit parly behind the crash bar meaning it was quite set back

Did some work on the st yesterday
Started off looking like this, smashed intercooler and ruined bumper with piece accross the bottom missing
removed bumper and held up intercooler where i wanted it, bumper on bumper off numerous times to get the intercooler sitting lever and centeral
Measured and made up some nice simple stong mounts
Nice and simple yet works
Bolted straight through the crash bar with rubber bushes so hopefully i have no knocking noises and it wont snap the brackets when i hit big bumps and pot holes
Old bumper absolutley ruined
New bumper
And all done! shall get some proper pictures once its nice and clean, managed to bring the intercooler fordward alot more compared to my last one!

Hi I've not done a comment before so here goes.
Cars looking good an you've spent some time an money getting there.
Have got the tdci st too but standard.
Had to replace the hydraulic clutch slave cyl on my titanium.
What a pain. Replaced the dual mass f/ wheel too with same product.
Seems ok but gears can be tight in 1st may need bleeding again but was wondering as you have a solid f/wheel an up /clutch do you get a lot of vibration now that the dual mass is supposed to prevent.

Looks lovely mate.
Personally, i would stick with the ST wheels, nothing else looks good IMO, what ones you have in mind? And are the originals up for sale if your changing them?

From memory it had all injectors and the high pressure pump replaced to cure the EML/EDC light being on. That was a while ago though. I seem to remember it was running lumpy and occasionally cutting out.

I spoke to soon!
Mine always started on 2 cylinders for a few secs then chucked out smoke when it caught,took it to my electronics whizz kid pal who uploaded the latest software,it runs worse now so the injectors are out and away to be reconditioned.
Took a filter sample and alls well so the pump is ok for now.
Think I'll run it a few months then buy a 2.5 titanium x sport,too much to go wrong with more modern diseasels and I love the 5 cyl soundtrack!

cheers all
possibly going bbs ch's but these wheels wont be up for sale
To be fair most of the problems with this car have been my fault, as i drive it hard most of the time, but i enjoy it and am looking at doing a few track days this year!
only thing that hasnt been my fault is the blowing of 2 turbos, that was down to the shit remap i had on it
