I don't think that an X-plated mondeo would have a duratec in it so it is probably a zetec!


blakep82 - 28/4/09 at 06:46 PM

hmm, does seem a bit suspicious to me... don't know why, but £25 buy it now?

According to burtons web site the duratec was fitted from 2001 which I think included some X reg.

Best to check first though

An X plate I'd have thought would be a Zetec, also it overheats, more likely a head gasket than a waterpump.

I've emailed the guy for a picture.


mr henderson - 28/4/09 at 07:02 PM

Maybe it's a V6 (2.5)?

A workmate of mine has an X plate mondeo and it has a duratec so i suspect its right.

received a reply

"this one is definatly a duratec engine as it from the newer shape x reg and is around 150bhp

it says duratec on the engine cover i will be adding pics tommorow"

It says it's a 2.0ltr Ghia and has Duratec on the engine so I think there's a chance they know what it is. It's only 19 miles from here, it's near Sheffield in Norton.

I reckon you've put your finger on it, Paul. makes sense now I think about it. Normally if someone were scrapping a car they would sell whatever bits they could, but just the engine.......

Had a look at his other items, he's selling the dash and the steering wheel too.

But what about all the other bits? Wonder what's going on

Hmm, sounds strange to me, the Duratec didn't enter Genk plant until 2001 and I got a zetec out of an 03 Mondy...

And I would suggest its goosed if its been overheating.


greggors84 - 28/4/09 at 08:42 PM

I live just down the road so if anyone wants to me to pop over and have a look, I can do.

Thats if I dont have it first!!
