Ford Mondeo 2003 2.5 V6 24V engine LCBD
Engine reliability and common problems:
The LCBD engine features a multi-point fuel injection system, where each cylinder is equipped with its own injector for precise fuel delivery. This system is highly durable and reliable, with a low likelihood of malfunction, even under extreme operating conditions and peak loads.The timing system in this engine uses a chain, which is designed to last for the engine's entire service life. Owners of vehicles with this engine rarely encounter issues with the timing or accessory drive system, if proper maintenance and scheduled servicing are followed. However, it is advisable to start monitoring the condition of the chain after 200,000 kilometers to avoid potential problems.
One notable issue with this engine is the tendency for the intake manifold flap to seize. Standard cleaning methods often fail to resolve this problem, resulting in reduced engine power. In such cases, replacing the defective part entirely is necessary.
The factory cooling system radiators are poorly positioned. To prevent overheating, it is crucial to keep the radiators clean and ensure the water pump is in good condition.
Poor-quality fuel can clog the in-tank filter, leading to fuel pump failure. Additionally, the engine often shows signs of oil seepage, which is usually caused by a clogged crankcase ventilation system.
Using low-quality oil significantly reduces the lifespan of chain tensioners and hydraulic lifters.
Overall, this engine can last around 280,000 to 480,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
