Great job Baz, you're definitely the man I would entrust to carry out a wet belt replacement. What a stupid design though.....a rubber belt running in engine oil!! Plus how much has to be removed to gain access to the belt.......especially for a 3 cylinder 1.0 litre engine!!! Give me a zetec engine any day!! Keep up the great work Baz.

There appears to be a problem in the industry and with the car buying public at large in relation to the concept of preventative maintenance, (not at this garage 🤙). I feel too many years of highly reliable cars and have brought the industry and the car buying public back into reality very quickly with components failing regularly. This is because of the change in technology chosen by; or forced on manufacturers, eg, timing chains, wet belts, 3 cylinder engines and emission related technology which the car buying public were not openly told about or how to care for these fickle technologies. This attitude of lethargy towards preventative maintenance might go some way to explain why so many are not checking brake fluid and why the car buying public don’t seal to care about or know about brake fluid and it’s hydroscopic properties

Bring back pushrods!! If its a great engine, why do some fail when perfectly serviced at a main ford dealer? Something else is going on here starting the self destruction process. Belt quality, vibration, can gear tolerance. It's not just about oil. It is a crap engine, if only for the 'difficulty' of belt inspection and bankruptcy level expense of belt replacement. How many otherwise good cars have been scrapped over this issue?? A lot! Insane design.
