FORD WET BELT REPLACEMENT WITH A NOISY OIL PUMP, CAN IT BE SAVED???? LETS FIND OUT!!!!

[@mikejba]

You’re a master of these Baz, great work. Reckon you saved that engine too, that old belt was ripe for failing

[@garyparker5012]

Good to see another engine not heading to the scrap yard Well saved and they are good little engines if looked after and serviced properly

[@waynebrinkley6284]

Baz, it's never boring. Every car & engine has its own faults/ story. Keep up the good work mate 🤙🤙

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good morning Daz 😊 No matter how many times you do theses Dagenham Dustbin wet belts I’m sure people will pick up some fantastic tips for you 🤩 People need to havd their cars serviced regularly 🤔 Love your video format too 👍🏻 I’m a bit of a DIY mechanic but I’m sure if I was local and in trouble I’d be in touch with you Baz in a flash 😀

[@24567442]

you aint boring baz its good to see a sample that have been maintained and those that havent and what you can expect

[@GhostLead65]

I think you must have done nearly all the remaining ones on the road now haha.Great work as always Baz.

Your the car whisperer Baz,keep them coming 👍

Hi from Norway. That was amazing ! I take my hat off to you ! Bit different to when I rebuilt an MGB and several mini engines in the 70's back in the UK.

[@tomcurran65]

Great job again Baz, seeing as you are doing so many of these, you could get a piece of Perspex and drill out your template for your timing cover bolts, just something a bit more permanent. Laser will probably bring one out!. I'm the same when it comes to putting my tools away after a job, I need to confirm I have them all. One question, the old belt looked like it had wandered on the cam pulleys towards the timing cover end, was that the "natural" position or had you moved it? (about 5:45 into the video)

Ford Motor Company’s recall of the 2016-2022 Ford EcoSport and Focus 1.0L engines has put owners in a difficult position. Their cars have defective parts that could potentially ruin the engine, but the replacement parts will not be available for at least six months. According to the recall, “the oil-drive belt tensioner arm may fracture or separate, causing a loss of vehicle power and power braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash.” Several plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit in June 2023 alleging “the defect presents a serious safety hazard because it can cause catastrophic engine failure without warning while driving, lost motive power, and/or sudden limp mode activation, increasing the likelihood of a collision.

Nice work Baz, where on earth do you find the time to edit these daily and upload!! 💪

What damage has been done to the crank and bearings do u warn the customer to cover your own back

[@MX5MAN4]

HI baz great vid and is the oil pump gauze blocked cos it hasnt been serviced when it should have been or due to incorrect oil grade?

[@jonathanwebb8307]

What a lot of work for something which should have been a chain and good for the life of the vehicle. I wouldnt touch a car with a welt belt with a barge pole

Another wet belt smashed. You should be getting royalties from Ford by now. No matter how similar love the content. 👍🫡

On the next wet belt change can you show us the state of the oil pump belt?

[@bazmeredith]

Oil pump belts are normally in good condition

[@alanpatterson2759]

@@bazmeredith Was thinking if they changed on the later models to chain and left that as a belt it would still stack up a problem.

Hello. Where did you get the service procedure for these new cars? Solera-Autodata ? Identifix?

[@pd_145]

Tidy job Baz , as usual 👌

[@ronaldprestage8563]

Great video as usual Baz , is it a bad design fault or lack of maintenance or incorrect oil you seem to get alot of these EcoBoost engines,

[@GhostLead65]

I think its a matter of both.Those engines would be good without that crazy setup.

[@bazmeredith]

It's all down to maintenance with them buddy

I sometimes wish you weren’t the master tech of your workshop so you could film some more videos on the basics.😂 still love it tho Baz 👌

I do, 13 mins

Bazdid Ford market these engines as never needing the cam belt to be changed?

Thought they’d all been recalled and had a chain fitted.

2018 onwards has a chain ,but stupidly still a wet oil belt pump st the bottom , so really still the same shit wet belt system

Buy an economical car save money on fuel need too to take care of the wet belt twice in the cars life.

[@gwl78]

How much is job like that.

[@gamesmaster1060]

Depends on region but I have heard/seen quotes anywhere from £800 up to £1800 although the upper price is probs a main dealer

[@fredscratchet1355]

What a shame these engines are absolute shite. A lovely little car driven by a ticking time bomb. How many poor souls have been caught out by these?

[@tonymcnamara9368]

Why are manufacturers making life so difficult? Because these aren't supposed to be repaired! They're designed to fail at low mileage, this way, people have to buy a new car. It's great for turnover, but not for the consumer. Imagine an engine that fails within five years, or less. 🤔

[@aficio698]

Agree and VW have now changed d belt replacement specification. They r now saying d belt is 4d lifetime of d engine, from 80k/5years. Wat nonsense.

[@olemissjim]

Looks like a ford recall now. You might get reimbursed by ford if it was out of warranty

[@cricketfilms5083]

The Ford wet belt. Another example of intentionally flawed 'built to fail' engineering that enriches the manufacturers spare parts divisions (at huge additional cost to consumers).

[@Howt-ooo]

What a ball ache. Thank god i have electric polstar.

[@ancientbriton8262]

Just shows how much the likes of Ford are skimping on engine design and manufacture causing such basic failures on relatively low mileage vehicles. Wet belt drives on oil pumps and cams drives, are they for real or just treat their customers with utter contempt Ford are a disgrace they do not deserve our business

[@alanpatterson2759]

You'll be doing wet belts in your sleep!

[@philnotley5138]

Why do these belts keep failing ? Is it a failure to change and use the correct oil regularly or is it just a crap design they supposed to last the life of the engine what ford don’t say is the life of the engine is about 60000😂

[@6evil6dead64]

Belts shouldn’t be soaked in oil. 🤷‍♂️. It causes them To break down.

[@KeithPotter-ph4cp]

A absolutely disastrous engine design. Simple
