I'll second that! I thoroughly enjoy your channel..!

On my 2008 Ford Mondeo I have had to replace both rear bearings. So I was surprised to hear you say in your experience that you had never had to replace any. There was an interval of about two years when the second bearing had to be replaced. You are right about cost of spares as here in Ireland we have 23% VAT on almost everything which makes buying spares from Ford ver expensive. You are right also about the noise coming from worn bearings as I could not wait to get this problem repaired. Love your site as with 320,000kms on my car I look up your site for information every time.

Don't own a Mondeo but have driven a few over the years. My fave being the MK3 Mondeo. I think they've aged beautifully, seem to be reasonably resistant to rust, and the 2.0 TDCI felt like a rocket ship, the amount of torque from low revs and the effortless cruising speeds. You can see why they were so popular. With the quality and content of your videos, I'm sure 20k subscribers, won't take long!

Brilliant content! I’ve had to have all of them replaced. Front 2 went at about 70k and rears both gone at 85k

Congrats on your 10K subscribers. I am not a mechanic, but do work on cars occasionally. It's a good job you don't work on Toyota Prius hub bearings. The front ones are hard to remove, due to galvanic corrosion. I did a friends wheel bearing last week and used a sledge hammer with iron ingot as a drift. Laying the hub carrier on a metal support on the ground, it took only a few hefty blows with the sledge hammer to remove the bearing. I have a 10 ton press but could not bring it with me. Plus the previous time I tried to use the press on the other bearing, it didn't budge. Same with a garage 20 ton press! I learnt the disc removal technique using a bolt, a long time ago. Never fails. I watch a lot of mechanic videos, and your is entertaining as well as educational. Make of car does not matter as some parts are similar in design. Keep the videos coming. 👍👍

What a conicidence! You know, I was just thinking about replacing the rear wheel bearings on my Volvo C30 just yesterday, since I'll be down there replacing the disks, pads, and the dust cover (which quite literally disintegrated when I was washing the alloys with my flexible toilet brush). The bearings need to come off to replace the dust covers. They're only £50 or so a pop, and the old ones might be tired after 115k or so miles.

I have Galaxy 2013year WA6 similar platform and same type bearings. At 146K one rear bearing went. Maybe heavier car or the fact is taxi and does city miles or something ? I had one replaced at Ford for nearly £300. Now at 151K other side rear bearing went. Time to follow your tips and do it myself. Hope my Delphi scanner will wind calipers back tho :)

I have a mondeo ambiente 2l tdi 2009 titanium mondel type combi...front steering rack was reconditioned. I was told then mcfearson was gone and needs replacing. So I did that..Now he says the shock absorber need to be replaced in future..so I can drive.. but man..I watched your video on mcfearson..after steering rack was reconditioned now the mcfearson problem sounds exactly as it did before steering rack was done....was I done..thats my question.. Paul, Irish guy, living in Poland.. love your videos..wish I could give you my mondeo so inwould know it actually is fixed this time..

Well done, now you can ask KZread for a Silver play button ! How about a recall video covering the items that the mk5 has been recalled for, the latest one is a battery sensor corrosion issue ? Do all the cars go back to ford of do they issue you with a van load of the parts when there is a recall ?

@@alan4x I have had 3 recalls on my 16 plate diesel, a clip on the fuel line, software for more bells and whistles when the engine overheats due to low coolant, and the battery sensor one. Potential leakage of battery acid around the battery negative terminal could cause the battery monitoring sensor to fail. Over time growth of copper sulphate may accumulate. This, in turn, could provide a conductive layer underneath the Battery Monitoring Sensor, creating a low resistance to ground. The increased current flow, due to low resistance, could cause the surrounding material to heat up to a point where it ignites, resulting in a fire. The Ford Mondeo models affected by this recall were manufactured between 13 February 2014 and 11 February 2019. Ford recall code: 18P11

LOL Those ABS wire's at all 4 corners go wrong dayly, they actually can do fails codes on thes cars from stering angel to transmission... They break at the turning/holding point of suppession at front or the rear wall mount at the back! (and at the broken state the car thinks that wheel go's 255Miles or Km/h at that moment...) one of those rear bearing ABS sensors has bean bad allso so if you find bad wireing then don't stop there! Make sure, the ABS sensor in bearing is working too ;) Nickname "We need one day more ;)"EDIT: Damn, i ripple of that surface rust. ..makes life easy if just can brush it away. p.s. there is short air gun's that has the "nuts" to do that job in the car ;) EDIT2: 10:50 Eather the bearings here comes with sensor or the bearing side of the sensors has failed on ours at least ones but yes more the wires gos and cut off.. EDIT3: Bearing was good!!!!!!!!!! ABS sensor not so much... EDIT4: Yes ABS module hade the problem rigth but they only showed the way! The problem Could be the "ABS control module" or wiring to the sensor/ sensor ring/unit. Yeah! You need really test all those parts before calling it..

Now what's the chances of 2 dud rear wheel bearings? The nearside rear wheel bearing on my trusty MK4 petrol Mondeo had been changed twice due to defective bearings. And they weren't cheap either.
