make sure you use the right water pump as there are 2 i got the new pump for my zetec from euro with no problems

[Guest alfaGTA]

what model of zetec are you using? Silvertop or blacktop?

NGB and NGC are 1989cc phase 3 blacktop engines specifically out of mondeos from May 98 onwards.

Damn i missed that engine code! Must read better! Eurocarparts have a vehicle identification box where you can select your car year and model, as Nigel said you are looking for 98 onwards mondeo, think the duratec engine was in production from 02 onwards. There are lots of short oil filters available that fit, i used a v6 cologne filter on mine(short and fat)

thanks to algee for poping round to show me which part of the sump ive got to get my angle grinder on to make space for the starte motor

Reasonable oil filter is Champion C104. You can go smaller but the above has the right thread and base diameter and works.

Water pumps on 2.0L blacktops. They work with the wrong rotation and there is no swap. Unless you count the American one which is very hard to get hold of. Add an idler wheel and run the waterpump off the back of the belt like everyone else. (Swapping water pumps is for escort silvertop 1.6 pump onto mondeo 2.0 silvertop engine which reverses drive direction just fine.)
