Some of these vans are under recall by ford and if it snaps they put a new engine free of charge

I just recently received a letter from ford requesting me to make an appointment with them to inspect the belts condition. Has to be changed that day if it fails the inspection.

Ford are going to stop handing out free engines very quickly there will be much stricter measures on what qualifies for a replacement by ford but its still there fault they designed such a crap engine in the first place

But that’s not the point. How much hassle is it to get a new engine in it. @@enkamotors7012

Not that great, mine is getting a new engine and it’s not even two years old, followed Ford service intervals to the letter. In my view they are shite wet belt crap. Ford offered me £50! Yes £50, this is costing me in lost revenue through work, and other associated costs.

@@Metal05 They are under warranty and the new engine will not directly cost you. Or shouldn’t unless they charge for fluids. Your new engine should have the modified parts.

Read my reply. Costing me so much money in other ways! I lost three boiler installs waiting for a courtesy van, I lost money on an event as I didn’t have wheels £500, need I carry on? I’ve read only tonight someone is on their 3rd engine on another forum. They are shite.@@hedydd2

From what year was the belt covered by Ford Warranty and for how long from new? I have a 2020 290 and was wondering could get belt changed to be on safe side

This isn’t the point. I get what you’re saying though. So far being self employed I lost three major jobs because I didn’t have my van with tools in it. The hassle of losing time on other jobs phoning Ford U.K. lost time and productivity, this amounts to about £5k. It’s diabolical from a company Fords size. I will never purchase this crap again. I hoped and prayed it would be ok. I didn’t even want a Ford custom. I’d ordered a VW, but they cancelled it due to chip shortage and loom issues around covid time, 🤷🏼 go home to your partner or bank manager and say you’ve lost £5k this month! @@hedydd2

We will try our best to do so on the next transit we do and will get in touch. Thanks

@@enkamotors7012 Thank you

The bolt is for waterplug.

Drinking game.

They say 150,000 or ten years whichever comes first, but no harm getting it done earlier for a peace of mind. Some of these vans are under recall by ford and if it snaps they put a new engine free of charge

Which vans are in recall please??

100000 miles or 72 months

Use a jack from underneath put a wooden block and jack from gearbox closest point towards the engine. Be careful as there’s a sensor close underneath near the jacking point

If you take off the oil pump as well as the sump then you’ll be able to check a part of the belt but you won’t be able to see the whole belt in order to determine if there is damage, and if so the extent of it. Hope that was helpful

The recall is only for the 2017 models I believe. For the 2017 model they replace the timing belt and if the timing belt has snapped, they change the engine also

As long as the fuel pump isn’t removed no need to lock whilst doing cam belt change

As long as your timing belt hasn’t snapped, you can go ahead, pin the camshaft and mark the bottom 👍

@@enkamotors7012 thanks for the reply,got one to do next week for the first time , had trouble with the kit for supplied ,wrong aux belt , crank bolt ect , mine has a damper pulley and requires a tool to remove it , so had to rebook.cheers

​@@enkamotors7012 pretty tight then 😮

In the Ranger it is a simple job that takes no longer than changing many dry timing belts. There is less room and therefore it is more difficult for transverse engines fitted to front wheel drive Transit.

Yes Ford does do a recall on these engines but not every vehicle is covered on the recall so they will have to check.

Thanks mate when I called they said it was under a recall and they’d have a look at it but not heard anything and hard to get hold of them when calling .

@@enkamotors7012 thanks. Had a bit of a nightmare. All done. Came back from road test, oil leaking out quite bad. Removed crank pulley, bit of the seal is pealed off. Very strange not sure how. Have ordered up a new seal. Not something you may have come across? Appreciate the help 👍

@@saanchips9087 did you replace the timing belt cover? Or use the old one? Also if you did replace it was it a genuine part or aftermarket?

@@enkamotors7012 i replaced the cover, just confirmed its a non genuine cover, came with seal fitted on. They have supplied a new seal under warranty but just very strange for a crank seal to tear off like that.

I don’t think the focus has this engine. You might have the 2.0 Diesel engine but not an Ecoblue one. I’m sure it is not a wet belt that you have.

@@enkamotors7012it is a 2.0 eco blue I’ve got it’s mk4 focus with 8spd auto box and they told me it’s a wet belt
