Ford Mondeo engines
The Ford Mondeo is a mid-range car produced since 1993 by the European division of Ford. Since 2014, the 4th generation of the model has been produced. Translated from French, the name of the car means “worldwide”. This reflects both the history of the creation and development of the model by all branches of the manufacturer, and its purpose – for sale around the world. The car was assembled in Belgium, China, Thailand and Russia. The maximum sales of Mondeo were recorded in the European market.
The Ford Mondeo was offered with 29 engines between 1993 and 2022 (12 diesel, 17 petrol). Displacement ranges from 1.5 to 3.0 liters, power output from 75 to 240 hp. 18 use a timing chain and 14 a timing belt. 16 are turbocharged. The longest rated lifespan belongs to the Ford CJBA/CJBB (about 400,000 km).
