Hi,

I recently had a water pump and thermostat housing failure on my 2006 1.25 Fiesta Style.

The RAC towed me to a garage, who replaced the failed parts, plus the auxiliary belt as it was coated with coolant.

I've since taken my Fiesta to another garage (who I believe to be a lot more reputable...) who have said that the auxiliary belt tensioner is missing, there is just a gap where it should be.

I've done a bit of Googling - and get mixed results about whether there should be a belt tensioner or not - some results says yes, and others say it's just a stretch-to-fit belt - should the 1.25 Duratec engine have an auxiliary belt tensioner or not?

Thanks.
