1L Ford Eco boost wet timing belt replacement #

[@fearinthedark]

Top man, I got one of these to do in the morning. Glad I watched this. 🎉

[@petechatten-berry1865]

Another great video. The attention to detail is sublime. I took my Transit Custom to Mike for it's wet belt replacement after seeing his video on those as the quality of work was second to none and the price was very competitive.

[@theanalyticsproject1014]

How do you contact Mike, thanks? Where is the garage?

[@simonburns102]

Soo much labour for basically a lawnmower engine! Great in-depth video. I love an old skool proper workshop 👍🏼.

[@Jomo-x6n]

Now I know why I've been quoted nearly a grand to replace mine. Mind you at least it will get and oil and coolant change. I wouldn't have bought my Focus if I've known about the wet cam belt.

[@tooltime9260]

There's no retro fit chain option to put back in like the 4 cyl models? I cannot see replacing one bad design with the same thing.

[@Ali-pc8ik]

Great video, one thing to mention, as well as cleaning the oil pump strainer its also worth doing the turbo and vac pump strainers as these get clogged with the belt debris.

[@stevenchinery8119]

Soooo many top tips and I'm only 11 minutes in! Love the drive shaft tip

[@832performance2]

Definitely not one to do on the driveway on a Saturday. Love your videos.

[@meschiffreszen9170]

Hi Thanks for the dimensions of the friction washer. I have a question about this washer : no risk of misalignment of the belt on the pulley due to the thickness of the washer ?

[@tatts1901]

Hi, I have a 2019 Focus, the Ford Service manual recons the wetbelt should be changed at 10yrs or 140,000miles. Do you know if that is correct. When would you change the belt? Cheers

[@alanversfeld7497]

Hey Mike ...enjoyed the video considered doing some videos myself that said keep up the work my opinion this is not a quick job took me 14 hours as needed to make some tools ....the belts were loosing teeth and pump was partially blocked with debris....

[@MatthewTetley]

Do these engine's not need supporting when taking the engine mount off?

[@fearinthedark]

Lol I thought the same thing

[@astonrichardson4309]

Blimey, thats alot of involvement.. well done buddy

[@ism671]

Top work Mike,just had these belts done on our Fiesta zs didn't have the luxury of the torque multiplier.. took a 4ft bar 😮to get the crank pulley bolt out and to do the new one up ...

[@ivorhardy-n7n]

Those without a torque multiplier have just tightened the bolt upto 300nm then 90 degrees.

[@Markoliver2]

Love the commentary, love the systematic way you disassemble and reassemble stuff plus your intricate knowledge of these wretched Fords. You have obviously done a few and if i still had mine (i ditched it before 25K when i realised the wet belt issue) i would definitely got you to do it as i have no Milwaukee tools.😅 An absolute top job. 👏👏👏

[@GPH2474]

What do you charge! I need one, apparently! My 2013 zetec s has 18k! Ive had the oil changed annually despite doing only 100mls some years.

I replaced my 205 GTI timing belt last year, took me 45 minutes, how times have changed, either a timing chain or dry timing belt, rubber belts and oil don't mix.

Three cheers for timing chains.

[@Alexander_l322]

Which also snap

[@johncoldwell340]

And can fail just as quick, I just don't understand why the bolt has to be that tight ford build loads of engine with no key way and they where never that tight they are just assholes

[@sneezyferret6482]

@@johncoldwell340 Aye, but I've never ever known timing chains that needed replacing after every 50k miles. Anything can fail. That's not my point. This only has 28k on the clock. And TCs usually give plenty of warning, but by then you're up in the 200k - 300k mile range. This is a critically important part of the engine, and it is failing, or starting to after only a few 10's of thousands of miles. And just the sheer amount of work required to change one! Wow unbelievable ...I'd rate this about as complicated as dropping the transmsission on my van. That was a bear of a job. It's ok if you're a mech working on these...nice little earner but for the home mechanic... And not having a keyed crankshaft, yeah that is just plain stupid requiring even more work and specialist tools. Ford should immediately begin working on a timing chain conversion kit for these lumps. Peugeot/Stellantis have a similar design and they are having the same issues. A rubber band dipping into hot engine oil contaminated with diesel or gas, what could possibly go wrong.

[@BonsaiMosselBay]

Great video thanks...that mileage is exactly why the belt looks like that...the car has only been doing 416 miles per month average. That is way too little...Me Ecoboost I getting it's wet belt replaced and it's on 106k miles now. Engines are designed to move, work and operate. Leave them standing or drive them to the corner store and back and you muck up everything.

[@tomdude75]

I've been doing alot of short journeys in my fiesta 1.0 econetic, not the best -.- It's a 2013 on 122k miles and I believe on the original wet belt.

Is the citroen c5 1.2 puretech engine the same

[@colinblythe3710]

NO they are easy to do just a bit fiddly as you are working through holes in side of engine TAKE the sump off and clean out AND the strainer Then change oil every 5000 miles after - as it is the acid in the oil that breaks down the rubber Even doing the above I would change belt every 25-30,000 or 4 years ! There are 2 timing kits depending on year PRE 2018 - Type this number into e bay 404846577282 AFTER 2018 Type this number into e bay 404844411663 Hunt about you can get the tools cheap now

[@tooltime9260]

Having a car is like being married to a bad wife. While things can run well once in a while, in the end, you get screwed in more ways than one and it ends up badly.When we did timing chain replacement back in the 60s and 70s on mainly V-8s, it was maybe a 2 hour job and we didn't have all the electric hand tools then. The twerps that design these things should be MADE to repair them under the threat of severe physical harm if they don't do it well and in a very reasonable amount of time. When you see repairs like this, your only thought is that you somehow hope these car makers go out of business, and the politicians that mandate too much from engine makers get sent to prison for life. I'd sleep a lot better. Amsterdam is looking better and better every time a car repair comes up. Bicycles are looking really good as the years go by. If I were to order a new car (never happen) I would special order one WITH a chain instead of that belt from Hell. If they wouldn't do it, no sale. The way car companies are going, I'm surprised they aren't selling cars with square wheels and making you pay extra for round.

I don't believe its the wrong oil causing the belts to fail, I think its that the belt is in the wrong place, should be on the outside of the engine!.

[@MegaReddevil71]

Be loads of these in the scrappers soon when they get to 11/12 yrs whos going to pay £1k for a timing belt or an engine if the pick up strainer gets blocked and kills the engine

[@stevenc5227]

Exactly that's why they used the belts and made changing it as hard as they could, they don't want 10 plus year old cars still on the road, they want you to buy a new one, but why would you if you had a bad experience in the first place, they will lose their customer base, when people decide they want a more reliable car that doesn't cost £1200 to change a timing belt at 30k miles.
