Hi There
Help!
Had my Mondeo Titainium X 2.5l petrol for 3 years and no trouble, great car......until now!!!
Started car the other day and had quite bad engine rattle, took straight to garage where they found lots of iron filings in the oil filter. Oil level low but not too bad, oil warning light not been on etc.....
Have been warned that may need new engine!!!££++ Not what you want to hear.
Have any of you suffered similar?
What happened?
If you had a new engine....where from, costs, recommendations please!!

 

time to buy a new car me thinks
will be cheaper than a replacement second hand engine

 

Hi, thanks for reply.
Yes, I know what your saying but car is 2007 reg Titainuim X with low mileage and plenty extras like Sat Nav, parking sens', heated seats ++. Im just not going to get anything for it. If I buy another car going to cost me mega bucks £ and probably wont get equivalent high end spec, year and low mileage etc...
.....its a dilemma

 

focus st engine?
ill buy the car as i have an engine doing nowt

 

just find a relacement engine, try ebay or 247 parts

 

if it's the 2.5 won't it be the same engine as out of the Mk2 ST24 ?

probably can be had for not much money these days..

 

Titanium X 2.5 is basically the Volvo sourced engine from a Focus ST...expensive but they are available second hand

 

it's a mk3 so the earlier engine si the ones he's got
2.5 v6

"should be the same as the earlier ones but you never know

 

Sounds like what happened to my ST24 a little while before it shot 2 rods though the block

 

Hi there

Have registered with 247 parts and other sites so thanks for that.
Its the Mk4 Duratec, 2.5l petrol engine Im after so keep your ears open for me.
Hope youre all having a good weekend!

 

so is it the 5 pot st lump or the v6 lump?

 

Its the V 6

 

If it's a MK4 it's the 2.5T 5 Pot?
