About Heat Shield
The engine, throught he process of internal combustion, generates very high temperatures. For this reason heat shields are fitted to help reduce the temperature in the exhaust system to prevent overheating.
The Mondeo Ford heat shield is a metal, circular, fixed plate which helps to shield vital exhaust system and other engine components from the intense heat that's generated by the hot gases that are travelling through the system, to help prevent damage to vital components. The specific metal used varies but most common is sheet metal or rolled aluminium. Heat shields are positioned along the exhaust and in the engine compartment along the firewall.
The heat shield either absorbs, deflects or spreads the heat to reduce the temperature of the exhaust gas.
Problems arising with the heat shields can be from corrosion or the shields having become misshapen through contact with stones or debris from the road. Replacing this part with the Mondeo Ford heat shield will ensure perfect compatibility with the make and model of your vehicle.
Ford Mondeo trivia
- Famed in Motorsport, the Mondeo has also emerged victorious at the FIA World Touring Car Cup (twice) in the 90s. It is also a regular sight in UK banger races and the Argentina Top Race series.
- The Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi is known for its responsiveness and is almost legendary for its overtaking ability. It can go from 0-60mph in just 9.5 seconds.
- The Ford Mondeo was released in 1992 and won the European Car of the Year in 1994, thanks to its focus on driver and passenger safety. It was the first car to introduce a driver’s airbag as standard.
- The Ford Mondeo did not do well in the US, despite some mad promotions (including a drive from London to New York via the Bering Strait).

- If you lived through the run-up to the 1997 General Election, then you probably remember the name Mondeo-Man. It referred to a specific class of voters: those who grew up working class but had become middle class. The focus on Mondeo-Man is considered one of the reasons for a Labour landslide win.
