on a unexpected call yesterday i had the delivery driver arrive with my engine, i had the flu (recovering now ) and it was bloody cold out side. for the engine, i managed to get the breakers in coventry down from £250 to £150 with haggling them, with delivery it has cost me £190 in total, which is a good deal to me

upon unwraping the engine does look clean, alright its done 90k so does need a clean here and there. straight away i go to the turbo and give it a feel, no play inside which made me happy, at some stage its had a repaired fuel pump as my fiesta has as well- bonus for me.

theres a couple of things that i have realised from EXCURSIONS conversion website http://www.mwstewart.co.uk/index.php?co ... endura_tdi that i thought were hard but are not as, i ask myself, why did i ask excursion so many questions, i still may have to, but questions not as stupid as i have done like- whats the crank pulley? durr, i already new but got confused about using the fiesta one- heres some pointers im a little confused with-

take picture number 1, now i see what he means by the crank pulley being too wide and failing the fiesta chassis, looks to me very easy to use the fiesta alternator bracket etc and move the fiesta alternator to the front of the engine instead of the back. although on the mondeo crank pulley there is a space for another belt, must be power steering belt or something


take picture number 2, you can see a driveshaft type object with splines- my green screwdriver tip is pointing at it, obviously no use for the fiesta but im not sure what it is?


in picture number 3- this drives off the fuel pump, i think this must be something to do with the air conditioning as there is something that screws into it- look at picture 1 i think this pipe connects to it but the pipes been cut so i cant tell, pipe is mounted onto the alternator. also my second finger points at what looks like a mount, think theres no need for this on my fiesta.

picture 8 im certain is the fuel lines.

lastly my main concern, links pictures 5+6, red box in corner of 6, its the same thing, something like a pipe connects to this but im not sure, something tells me to do with oil circulation but i dont know where the pipe should go to

when am i going to start this?

good question i had to ask my self, hopefully next year when the weather starts to get a bit warmer, i still need to source a few parts first, i need to source a mk1 mondeo inlet manifold as this mk2 engine inlet fouls the suspention turrett, im going to buy some cooling pipes etc, my biggest quest is to source a xr2i exhaust and mondeo DOWNPIPE and weld the xr2i pipe to the downpipe so i can have a suitable exhaust for the car- i cant weld so its going to be hard to explain to a welder, unless someone can do this for me and i can pay you .

hope you like this

Your finger's bent!

Your finger's bent!

somehow i thought youll reply first, that comment doesnt suite the desire of the subject.

[heeman10]

Well, 1: Can't you just fit the fiesta pulley?
2: No idea! Pic doesn't show where it goes.
3: Intercooler mount? Again, pic doesn't show enough, and is small.
6: Does look like an oil takeoff.

[Captain Tightpants]

The drivshaft wants removing. It's held to the block with a bearing that unbolts. It's part of the mondeo equal length driveshaft setup.

i need the fiesta engine out first to do the pulley, as im still using the car daily, scort has answered one of my answers for picture number 2. thanks scort.

Congrats for the purchase of the engine!

1. Please o please go and buy a f...... Haynes!!!!!!!!!!!. Even I got the Haynes that describes the 1.8 Diesel non turbocharged and tutrbocharged from the Fiesta/Escort/Mondeo and I'm like 16000 miles away from England.
2. The remarked pipe on the red box in picture numer 6 is the return from the head to the Coolant reservoir tank

Oh and again GET A HAYNES!!!!!

got one for xmas, its for fiesta etc- nt mondeo, i wouldnt know what the driveshaft is at the back unless i buy a mondeo haynes.

[rob pace]

NOTE- IF ANYONE WANTS PARTS, THEY WILL BE FOR SALE SOON FROM THIS ENGINE THAT I DONT REQUIRE, JUST NEED TO GET RID OF THE FLU.

sorry for CAPS, left it on.

[rob pace]

here is the downpipe that i have won, just need to send payment etc, still need to get a xr2i exhaust and excursion is going to modify it to fit with some cash in his pocket

been doing some research, found out where some pipes lead to now, hopefully working on engine soon.

[PaulC]

As Steve says above, number 2 is the equal length shaft setup. Imagine the gearbox mated to the engine and you'd see what we mean!

If you're after an exhaust mate, I've got a full magnex system from the downpipe back if you're interested PM me!

[rob pace]

been working on the engine today, removng the parts that are not needed, heres some pictures + they will be in the for sale bit later today.

amazes me how much weight ive actually removed, so much easier to shift the engine around the garage

picture 1 at the top

downpipe clamp, mondeo engine mount, driveshaft, air con pulley (i think, pump sits on top of fuel pump) + air box pipe.

picture 2 middle

alternator + pulleys, clutch, a heavy flywheel, crank pulley

picture 3 bottom

complete engine loom.

[heeman10]

Good on you for cracking on getting your hands dirty at long last Do you have any closer pictures of the flywheel? I love the diesel engine looms :lol:

can get closer pictures james, why? it weighs a ton for what it is!

ive got them pics for you, just need to put them on computer.

do i need any of them parts at al? or sell them on ebay?

[Excursion]

tsss'cha!

[rob pace]

tsss'cha!

Shouldn't this post be in members gallery

[TIL13R]

Yes it should,

looking good tho

[rob pace]

been a long time since an update!

ive been stripping the parts from my diesel today, removed all the loom and put it to one side, most water pipes are taken off and ive taken the radiator out. tomorrow im going to pop the driveshafts out and remove the lower arm cradles ready to drop the gearbox and engine out

i dont like the fiesta fuel lines at all, there made out of a hard plastic and are not flexable at all, so im going to the motor factors at some point to get some flexible see through hose.

some of the fiesta pipes are a direct fit onto the mondeo engine.

if you look at the engine from the front
1. the hose which goes to the top of the header tank, into the left hand side of the block is a straight swap.

2. the hose on the fiesta at the bottom of the matrix is a direct fit into the back of the endura block.

im a bit confused about the other hose, which is at the top of the matrix, it wont fit direct with the mondeo engine, theres a metal pipe which comes up the left hand side of the engine and stops in front of the sump, so im going to have to work it out hopefully

also in the bottom picture, i cant see any way of retaining the fiesta radiator switch so i think i might have to cut the mondeo one off the loom and attatch it to the fiesta loom. the fiesta switch is the blue one and it plugs into the green plug in the picture (green thing you can see, just ).

waiting for my hoist to come through.

[XRMike]

looking good mate. im tempted to do this myself in the future

It sounds like I'm being pedantic, but if you're describing things you want help with, you have to use the correct terminology! The fan switch is the connector that screws into the water hose. The plug is what plugs into the switch. The blue thing photographed is the fan switch plug. So if you're asking what to do about the fan switch plugs (because they're different), it should be a case of cutting one off and joining the correct one (that relates to whichever fan switch you're going to use) into the loom.

[Excursion]

The Mondeo engine has no fan switch, the fan is controlled by the ECU via a relay on the engine bay loom side. The plug you have in your hand is for a NTC temp sender that provides coolant temp to the ECU.

[Pez]

Dont forget, if you are replacing fuel pipes with flexible hose, you will need to get the correct type of hose for the job, and as far as im aware, you cant get clear flexible fuel hose. If you are talking about the clear type with braiding in it, similar to garden hose, that is no good, it will harden and perish quickly.

excursion- thanks for the info, so i ask how i get the fan to work, i suppose i could stick with a manual switch to turn the fan on/off, although the fan has worked once on my fiesta diesel as i am led to believe its a low temp engine.

pez- thanks for the info, the engine i have has a clear fuel line on the fuel pump somewhere, ill have to check

regards

[heeman10]

Ahh, useful info from Mr E! Just use a top hose with a fan switch in that you can run the fan off, i.e. your original diesel hose I'm guessing. I can't remember where mine took its feed from Can't see in my pics either, how ridiculous!

Pez - You can indeed get translucent fuel hose for a diesel

[Pez]

Well shiver me timbers laddie. Im sure ill store that piece of information in the data banks for years to come now

[heeman10]

[Excursion]

Pretty sure I swapped the plastic Mondeo thermostat housing cover for an Alloy Mk3 Fiesta one, which has the screw threads for the switch.

Jim on that photo, you can jussst see the blue plug at the front of the engine, to the right of the fuel pump.

ah james have you got any more photos zoomed in of the coolant pipe setup, from what i see does the hose on the water pump to the left connect straight to the left hand side of the rad. if your stading at the front of the vehicle.

ahh i see, so thats how you can retain the fiesta one, good info mark, wouldnt have spotted that.

what mk3 fezz did you get it off? or was it off a diesel.

[FedeArg]

Rob if I´m not wrong you had a N/A Diesel egine before. To keep the fan you only will need the elbow where the fan switch sensor is plugged on your old engine. Just put that elbow on your new engine and voila!!!! Regarding the fan switch plug you will keep using the blue original one and just use some tape to insulate the other one and leave it.

If you need the code for the switch it is

I´ve just purchased one for mine and costed me a fortune. Damn imported sapre parts. It costed something like 23 pounds but to me it meant like 100 pounds to you.

Good luck

yes the N/A is still in the car, dont worry its sorted now.

Course you can

Rob - Two pictures for you, hopefully of some use. The bottom one is when I'd just got home after the conversion, the top one is a later photo showing how it was after some poncing around

james if you look at the 2nd picture, look at the fuel pump which has "75" on it, and look to the right of it on the radiator. im looking at your radiator, did it have 2 connections for water hoses or one? mine has one but on your pic (i maybe wrong) it has 2 connections (one up the top and one at the bottom).

by the looks i think the hardest part maybe the water hoses, on the endura i have a pipe coming up the left hand side of the engine and ending in front of the sump, it comes from where the oil filter is around there.

its a bummer cos i dont have any of the mondeo hoses.

[heeman10]

The radiator you can see in the pics above is the one at the top of this picture. The one below it is a Fiesta Si radiator. You can see the three ports are on the right hand side. In, out, and header tank return:



Is the coolant hose you speak about going into the oil cooler?
