Will a Mondeo dash fit?

Postby Timmygee » Thu Feb 15, 2018 9:20 pm

Hi Guys
I’ve got an unusual question.
I’ve just acquired a Mondeo Mk2 Ghia X to cannibalise.
I really like the dash and I wondered if it would fit.
Does anyone know?

Hi Paul
Thanks for responding.
Is there no way that it can be adapted?

It's not just a simple outer dash swap. It's every thing that goes with it.
Unfortunately Mondeo mk2 dash support, steering column, heater assembly, gear shift selector etc won't fit Connects.
Outer dash itself you'll end up cutting it up to get it to fit.
Then sort out the elec systems.....
Mondeo mk2 instrument clusters depending on year as there are 2 versions. Once is where speedo is cable driven & the other is not. Both won't work on connects.
Same goes for column switch gear.

Dash options are limited......

If your connect is early 2000-2006 model. You can fit a later 2006-2009 dash like this one I did to a 2003 Connect

Or a late 2009-2013 dash. Like this one I fitted to a 2004 Connect

Hi Paul
Thanks for the message.
You’ve made a nice job of the installation. I’m planning to fit the 2.0 Zetec engine which I’m told is a relatively easy swap. It’s got an auto box. Do you know if that’ll fit?
Both the Connect and the Mondeo are 2003 models. I was told that I need the clocks, locks, ecu and part loom.
Do you know if the front discs and rear hubs from the Mondeo will fit?
Cheers

2003 Mondeo... That's a mk3 & 2003 is the change over for facelift models.
They use 2.0 Duratec HE engines NOT 2.0 Zetec.

Yes 2.0 Duratec HE engine will fit Connects (2009 model connect were fitted with them in the US :wink: ).
Although it will be a major rewire (wiring loom modified) to get engine to run in a early Connect
Drop the auto box, It wont fit. Same goes for rear hubs.

If you want rear disc brakes. Grab them from a 2006 onwards Connect 8)

As shown below

PS Focus mk1 use 2.0 Zetec engines & Connects are based on the Focus mk1 platform :wink:
