Fuel filter Ford Mondeo
Content
Almost every American-made car needs quality fuel system maintenance, and the Ford brand is no exception. The use of low-octane fuel or untimely maintenance will significantly reduce the life of the vehicle's power unit.
In order for the car to meet the service life declared by the manufacturer, it is important to change consumable components in a timely manner, in particular, the fuel filter.
Depending on the model range and year of manufacture of the Ford Mondeo car, it can be equipped with both a remote and a submersible filter. However, for Fords intended for the European car market and, in particular, for the Russian Federation, models with a submersible TF are practically never found, which greatly facilitates the procedure for self-replacing a worn element.

Before buying an analogue of the original filter, be sure to check the compatibility of the part with your car. This can be done by checking the part indicated on the product packaging with the VIN number of the car on the official website of the manufacturer; if there is no data on the part, then the purchase should be abandoned.
Remember that the Ford Mondeo is equipped with a wide range of power units, each of which requires its own fuel filter; the form factor and thickness of the filter element may not be suitable for cars of different years of manufacture or engines with different power.
When is it necessary to change the fuel filter on a Ford Mondeo
According to the car manufacturer's regulations, the fuel filter must be changed every 90 km; however, for vehicles operated in the Russian Federation, the period must be divided by three. The fact is that a large amount of dust on the roads and poor quality fuel at service stations significantly accelerate the wear of the filter element: when trying to replace the filter according to the manufacturer's standards, the driver is likely to destroy the filter element in the fuel system.
It's important to know! Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the filter element for owners of a diesel Ford Mondeo. Starting from the second generation of models of this car, the Common Rail power system appeared in the design of the fuel complex, which is shifted towards low fuel quality.
Untimely replacement of TF in a diesel Mondeo can quickly disable the fuel system and clog direct injection nozzles.
How to replace the fuel filter on a Mondeo
You can install a new filter in the car with your own hands; For this, it is not necessary to seek help from the service station. In this case, it is only worth remembering that it is recommended to replace the fuel filter with an empty tank; Before performing maintenance, it is recommended to evacuate fuel from the fuel system. Otherwise, the procedure for replacing the TF with the Mondeo Fund is carried out according to the following scenario:
- First of all, we turn off the car; To do this, just release the negative terminal of the battery. This will cut off the power supply to the car and reduce the risk of static electricity on the car body;
- Next, you need to raise the rear of the vehicle or drive the car onto a lift or viewing hole. The fuel filter will be located on the tank side of the machine, very close;
- Then you need to unscrew the fuel lines connected to both sides of the filter part. Please note that if the fuel is not pumped out of the tank, the remaining part of the fuel pumped into the fuel system will flow through the cleaned pipelines. Therefore, it is recommended to first replace the drain pan under the nozzles;
- Now you need to unscrew the clamp that holds the fuel filter and disassemble the part. It is necessary to install a new filter in the direction of the arrow indicated on the part body; the arrow should be directed towards the movement of fuel in the main channels;
- At the end of the procedure, we attach the filter and connect the fuel pipes, after which we test the car. The procedure can be considered successful if the power unit starts smoothly and the engine reaches operating temperature.
The instructions above are valid for both petrol and diesel vehicles.
