Do EcoBoost engines in the Ford Puma have wet belt issues?
Is there a problem with the wet timing belt in the 1litre and 1.5litre engines used in the Ford Puma? I have heard that the belt sheds material which blocks the oilways.

The 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre EcoBoost engines in the Puma are of a different design to earlier versions and use a timing chain rather than a timing belt, so there is no risk of this problem occurring.
