Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost mk 7.5 - Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost,wet belt change question - Alonso24st

Hello,i want to ask the owners of ecoboost 1.0,in few months from now,i'm going to change my wet belt,the manufacturer uses belt from Dayco,but they suggest me Contintental or SKF as alternative choices,more stronger than Dayco's.My car has near 95.000km,in few months will catch 10 years,as FORD suggests for belt change.

Also read that should be replaced the above stuff:

  • Cambelt And Tensioner Kit

  • Auxiliary Drive Belt

  • Camshaft Cover Gasket

  • Crankshaft Pulley Stretch Bolt and Friction Washer

  • Front Crank Oil Seal

  • Reseal all components as required

  • Oil Pump Drive Belt

  • Replace exhaust gaskets as required

  • Oil Change with Genuine Filter and the correct specification Oil

  • Engine coolant drained and replaced

What you did with your Fiesta and wet belt change?

Are you intending to attempt to change the belt yourself? Please be aware its not a easy job, there's a couple of specialist tools required and to do the job properly it is a engine out job.

If you’ve not done one before, it’s about a day’s work. You’ll certainly need special equipment including a torque multiplier. Engine removal is not necessary. I’d get all the parts from Ford . That way they should be correct.

Far easier to get the sump off to get to the oil pump strainer with the engine out tbh...helped my mate ( runs his own place) on a couple .

There is a locking tool required to keep it all in place, if memory serves its a ford only thing and its not cheap..

Each to their own I guess . My friend does wet belts on every thing, including the Puretech engine. Never needed to remove the motor .
