FORD 1.0 EcoBoost SFJA 2013 WET belt replacement and sump cleaning in DEPTH guide Belt in oil

Thanks guys! For hitting 800 Subscribers!
This video took me a lot of time to make and edit, I appreciate any kinds of support / like / subscribe :D
Questions are very welcome, you can email me at [e-mail].
In the video I will explain in depth how you have to replace the timing belt on your Ford 1.0 Ecoboost engine.
The sequence of removing the parts will be a little confusing, I had to do a lot of other jobs while working on this car.
The engine code is SFJA on this specific car. The year of manifacturing is 2013. This car was built from 2012 till 2015.
The following engine codes apply: SFJD, SFJC, SFJA and SFJB. 998cc gas powered engine with 100 horsepower.
A lot of components have to be removed for this specific job and will take a lot of time.
The A/C refridgerant needs to be removed using a A/C service machine. The system in my case
was filled with R134a refridgerant.
I have removed the alternator, A/C compressor, valve cover, belt cover, battery, starter, oil pan, driveshaft, and a few other components.
It's of course not neccecary to remove all of these components, I mostly do this to give a clear view for the camera.

Thanks my guy :) Feels good to read :D

[@julesviolin]

⚠️The recall should have been a cambelt - chain conversion. These engines will still have belt troubles I guarantee it 😅 It's hardly been an eco engine has it 😊

[@davyarthurs]

@@julesviolinthe new ones are now chain driven. Except for the oil pump belt, which is still a wet belt and they have issues. However, chain isn’t always best these days as they’re generally made of chocolate!

Wo ist eure Werkstatt ?

[@erics8302]

I have a 2015 and I am getting ready to do this. If they expected us to change the belts periodically they should have designed the layout to make it user friendly. They ought to make the accountants and engineers do a couple of changes before they finalize the design. That being said this video is fantastic. You show us the exact details we need so we dc not screw it up. I wonder it makes sense to change the oil pump and water pump while you have the whole thing open.

[@MrUnderwurlde]

In the middle of this job now. Almost ready to remove the crank pully. Happy that I was able to get the aircon compressor and cat off without too much bother. Exhaust end was a bit painful in that one of the bolts siezed and it took me an hour to dremel it off. This video has been a tremendous help. Appreciate the time and effort it took you to make. Edit: 2014 fiesta with 125k km. Oil pickup looks quite clean, maybe just one or two specs of belt. I guess I caught it before major disintegration set it.

[@mathewnewton3499]

Great video Nicholas! Quite clearly a good mechanic *and* a good videographer too! Something I spotted which might add some value is with the coolant gasket at 53:15 - Ford recommend (in TSB 15-1070) that you fill in that small hole/slot in the timing cover at the top with sealant. The slot exists only to help orientate the gasket during installation but they were finding that oil was sometimes leaking down through the slot and causing the gasket to swell leading to coolant loss. Given that gasket replacement involves removal of the timing cover so a disproportionately big job (hey, it is an Ecoboost afterall!) they have now removed the locating tab on new gaskets (as per your one) hence the slot can now be blocked off to remove the risk. Newer engine releases no longer have the slot in the timing cover casting.

[@MechaNick_]

Hey man, thanks for the positive comment :D And some good tips! Will definitely remember it for the next one, thanks :)

[@plumbc007]

yes there was a service bulltin that requires rtv on top of the water gasket @@MechaNick_

[@stephenrichardson6105]

In the process of doing Lads Fiesta Oh it’s fun But what surprised me was when I got sump off there wasn’t one bit of anything in oil pump strainer. Maybe due to servicing regular and with the correct oil Great video and helpful

[@someone7507]

Indeed, there are many 1.0 ecoboost that have a clean oil pump strainer after many miles. So far it seems that the oil spec is important, as well as keeping it as clean as possible (no engine fulsh contamination, no fuel contamination). So basically changin the oil often. However, this is not really a proven theory. In fact I have read about cases where the car wasn't started during the covid lockdown and the pump was clugged shortly after the car was used again. So it is still a mistery what exactly happens.

[@mathewnewton3499]

@@someone7507 Ford released a TSB (ref 60/2014) on the very issue of blocked oil pump strainers on cars that have sat around for a long time (and/or been driving repeatedly on only short journeys). The issue is that the detergents in the specified oil react with water that comes into contact with it (e.g. from condensation in the crankcase) and, if not boiled off from use (ideally long-journey use) ends up forming 'long chain molecules' which coagulate and risk blocking the strainer thus leading to oil starvation.

[@ADAMH0]

Thank you so much for showing how the VVT timing tools should be fitted! There are many other videos that miss this part and the tool comes with no instructions so I really appreciate the effort you have made to show all of the stages 👍

[@MechaNick_]

Youre welcome!! Glad i could help 😁

[@philldownes8685]

well ive worked on all sorts of engine in the last 50 years from old bedford 330 diesels to detroit 760. from mini engines to the large 7.3 v8 American petrols and mercedes straight 6 and v8 500. i have watched this and i cannot believe how much crap you have to go through to simply change a cambelt.. This wet belt has to be the worse design ive ever seen and obviously someone at fords get paid a lot of money to make these jobs as hard as possible...... i think it would be simpler to drop the complete front end to do this, but ive never done one so could be wrong, the amount of different tools used and the torque multiplier is crazy..... you are obviously very patient and you have done a very good job here.... its on the point of need a technical honours degree to even remember where all the crap goes..... and all because some bright spark at fords thinks a wet belt is a good idea, well no it is not a good idea and why on earth you have to go through so much to get at it is ridiculous...................... great job and great video Nicholas, you can have a cup of tea now ha aha

[@alanshepherd4216]

What a brilliant video. I didn't know I would have all this shit to come when I bought My Fiesta but I still love the car and for a small engine with 125ps and all the bells and whistles it can certainly get along the road. Loved watching a good mechanic at work, not something I will be tackling, as someone else remarked "Too bloody old" but I enjoyed every minute of it and will be checking out any others that take my interest. Very well done, keep up the good work. All the best!

[@stewartferguson9774]

well done sir ! very comprehensive video.Im going to have to do this in the street and there will be no fancy torque multiplier .

[@S35CANAVERAL]

To my opinion,you can not do this on the street,you need to stand under the car to apply the 300Nm +90 .I diy this belt,been there. You need a 3/4 inch big torque wrench, I first tried to apply this torque on axle stands, no way for me. If you can pull it off,great, but do not underestimate it.

[@deliverancekai]

Seems straight forward enough. Think i will change mine in my lunch break whilst at work. Just got to get a new adjustable spanner. And pick up some oil from the supermarket first though.

[@jimjam1934]

Great job Nick, wish this video was out a couple of months back when I did my lads Fiesta. I didnt find I needed to remove the front exhaust to remove the sump, by lowering it, the sump will just about come off. My sump filter was perfectly clean so credit to genuine Ford/Castrol oil which is all its ever had. I also didnt remove the O/S drive shaft but thats because I dont have a torque multiplier, the torque spec for the crank bolt is 300n/m + 90 deg according to Haynes so that's what it got using 3/4 drive tools. Also, glad it wasnt jus me that had A/C compressor bolts that I thought were gonna shear. Glad I did the job but wont be volunteering for another one. Liked and subscribed

[@MechaNick_]

Thanks for the positive comment, the like and the sub

[@bobp6742]

Just done my 2014 that I've had from new, always used the correct oil and the two belts were as good as new, all that struggle for nothing. Also snapped two bolts on the AC pump but as the sump was coming off easily repaired and I bought an undertray for it, seems strange they put the undertray on the diesel but not the petrol.

[@ptonkin6]

I've just done this job on a friend's car with the torque multiplier and no other setting tools other than crank pulley pin and a threaded rod screwed into the block. Worked a treat. Snapped two A/C bolts too! Found no debris in sump and belts were fine at 83k miles. I tackled the cylinder head gasket at the same time and that was informative. The oil has always been Castrol Magnatec... Neighbour has an identical car which I think I could replace both belts without disturbing the catalyst or sump🤞😊​@@bobp6742

This is the best video I've seen on this subject. Congratulations on an excellent job. Just a small point. You worry me a bit wearing your finger ring whilst working. I trained as a mechanic in the 1970's in the UK and one of the first things I was told was wearing a ring was dangerous. I think the advice still holds true. Hope you don't think I'm being critical, I have your best interests at heart.

Ha ha no problem. I was thinking of having at go at replacing the wet belt on my Focus myself but after watching your excellent video I've decided to take it to a garage. At age 65 and without any proper facilities I think it is too risky to attempt it (although the mechanic in my soul would love to try ). All the best Nicholas! Look forward to watching more of your vids.

I no longer reccomend people buy Fords which is sad :( The engines could always be considered simple,dependable and able to survive the neglect/abuse sadly many got. Without doubt the inexperienced designers overlooked the Belt debris issue or they would have added a better strainer to the oil pickup or even a small inspection plate in the sump. With the few pennies they saved not even adding keyways to the pulleys it looks pretty clear to me they intended this a sort of sealed engine that hopefully did 150k miles then you just replaced it !

Hey! Thanks for the positive comment :D On Haynes it states that the belt needs to be replaced every 240.000 km and 120 months. I highly doubt this and would get the belt condition checked. Remove sump check for particles or remove valve cover and check the belt. Better safe than sorry.

@MechaNick_ Seems I have run into some trouble. I was following the torque spec for front cover bolts as per ford repair guide. Seems the torque specified in the manual has a final 90° turn which I notice is missing in the image you display. Unfortunately one of my bolts snapped when I was applying the 90 ° turn, so I removed the cover again and cleaned it up. Im planning to buy a set of new bolts. My question is, for the new bolts, should I just leave at 15nm or should I also add 90°. I would think the bolts are torque to yield hence the 90° turn in the fird manual. Any help appreciated.

​@MENQN Mines 6 speed but I have the Focus st line 140bhp I'm getting 63.3mpg on a run while it keeps running 😅. I did have to have a new dual mass flywheel at 24k miles thou wasn't expecting that but apparently its a common fault.

[@nikobellic6264]

At what mileage would you personally recommend wet belts to be changed?

[@MechaNick_]

Hey Causing Niko!! Its hard to predict anything can happen.... If id own a Ford id do 120.000km And 6 years. And check the belt every second year or 60000km.

Nice work, but if you look at 46:10 and then again at 49:10 you might have put the oil pump strainer the wrong way.

[@MechaNick_]

I know. Theres 200 comments about this 🤣

[@lookingbehind6335]

If you have an EcoBoost old enough for belt replacement, trade or dump it off immediately afterwards. Consider yourself lucky it lasted that long.

[@Brinta69]

If its replaced, for a brand New one, why dump it?

Hallo Nikölas, I have changed my auto Ford focus 1.0 ecoboost mk3 2012 Wet belt. Turning on the key ignition sounds like blast before engine start.!!! Any idea what sound it could be?? Thankyou in advance

[@MechaNick_]

Hey, please send a video to [e-mail]

[@jonbarter6838]

Hello, I need to do this and appreciate the trouble you have gone to. My engine code is M1JE, will this be the same procedure? Thanks.

[@MechaNick_]

I am not a 100 % sure, but the same tools are used so theres a chance its exactly the same procedure. Maybe a different belt or tensioner, or parts.

Pozdrav! Na koliko se kilometara mora mjenjati zupcasti remen? Servisni interval remena? Dali se moze prvo testirati dali valja? Upravo sam kupio fiestu 74kw ekoboost molio bih odgovor. Hvala

Always check it. I advise to check your belt at next maintenance.

Hi Nichlas you say you forgot to film the 60 newton meters on the crank ball but in the video I saw you tensioned 70 neutral meters first how do you tension 60 neutral meters when you have tensioned 70 neutral meters or is it only 70 Newton meters and 5 × 90° Rg Kenneth 😀😀🙏🙏

[@MrUnderwurlde]

The 70 nm is done without the torque multiplier. The torque multiplier is then installed and tightened to 60nm on the input side, which is 300nm on the output side. The final 5x90° is equivalent to 90° without the multiplier.

[@kennethlarsen6330]

thanks for your answer but I don't have that tool Multiplier so I just have to tighten the pulley on the crankshaft 70 Newton meters and then 5 × 90° is it correct 😀🙏

[@teachermanret]

Thanks

[@MechaNick_]

Thank you too ❤

[@Rieju-Sherco]

Thank you!!! what was the mileage if you remember? Can you or should you go 100,000 if the oil was changed every 4000??

[@MechaNick_]

The mileage is shown in the beginning of the video i think. At least get the belt condition checked!! Thank you 😁

At 49.40 looks like the oil strainer is fitted the wrong way around ?

Correct

[@Ronnie-ku8bk]

Hi mate, Am taking my 16 plate focus in for a new water pump and cam belt change. (Water pump is leaking and mechanic has advised it’s worth getting the belt done whilst it’s stripped down) Would you advise I also get the oil pump drive belt changed? ( I have seen this mentioned in comments and on other forums) I’m a Complete car noob and appreciate any advice. Thanks. Car has 51k on the clock and goes in annually for a service

[@MechaNick_]

Hey! I'd change the waterpump and auxiliary belt. First you could remove the sump and check if your see the oil pump is clogged. And the valve cover to check the condition of the belt. If that all seems fine you should be okay with just changing the water pump and aux belt. Good luck!

[@Ronnie-ku8bk]

Wow thanks a lot for the instant reply! Very helpful. I will not be doing the works myself as wouldn’t have a clue. I assume a mechanic should know the things to check, but I will mention those points you’ve raised anyway just to make sure. Thanks !!

[@marcelpursche5339]

My only explanation for the wet belt system: Ford hates mechanics and their customers equally 😂 So much work to change this damn thing. No wonder it is so expensive to get it changed.

[@JohnMitch]

Designing an engine with that much trouble to change a timing belt why oh why???? and the cost!!!!! and how the use a rubber belt soaked in oil is beyond comprehension- they at least should have designed this engine with a timing chain instead of rubber timing belt

[@rolandoakden1396]

My piccanto cam belt cost me £28, without the water pump took me 2 hours to do, this ford is Ferrari price.

[@Raveent]

Oh man, you wrong direction at install oil pump screen cover

[@MechaNick_]

Luckily the engine did not blow up yet 😅😉

[@Raveent]

​@@MechaNick_ it won't be explode, it's just make that the oil pressure light will come on more easily light if there is a slight blockage. In my opinion, it might be better to just remove the oil pump screen so that all future rubber debris will be collect in the oil filter, it seem that rubber debris will not damage the oil pump

[@roman6368]

the amount of debris in some of these engines I've seen, I'd definitely want a screen. a better designed screen maybe twice the diameter would help it not to clog and go ecoBOOM@@Raveent

[@Raveent]

@@roman6368 Yes, I also often see timing belt debris that has accumulated over time which eventually clogs the oil pump screen which destroys the entire engine. I think if there is no that small oil pump screen, debris will collect in the oil filter and be dump gradually when replacing the oil filter. A large diameter screen is also very likely to prevent oil pump clog, it's just difficult for us to make it

[@someone7507]

I might be wrong, but as far as I know the Ford oil filters have a pressure valve. If the oil fiter would get clogged and restroct the oil through the filtering material, the pressure would build up and the valve would open so the engine still gets lubricated. At that point the oil would be pushing all that debris through the oil channels. Changing the oil filter often would probably prevent this, but how often?

[@SuperTehri]

Great video, how do you recommend to remove the crank bolt without the torque multiplier?

Ta mate ,reason I asked, my ex car that my son now has is around 80k miles.I do 6k oil changes,dont know what to advise him when to change.150k seems high risk,but it being a big expensive job (how much ?), dont want to do before its needed.Any thoughts..??

[@MechaNick_]

Hey! The cost of this job variates...check the condition of the belt by removing the valve cover or oil pan.

[@automaticarcambioautomatic4501]

Please, where can I buy this torque multiplier and this valve cam pulley tool?

Please somebody explain to me. That why do I have to remove the camshaft locking tool when fittng the cam sprocket fixing tool to tighten up the crank pulley?

Its in the Haynes manual. To be honest I do not know the exact reason for this.
