Ford Wet Belt Replacement

Premature failure issues with these Ford engine wet belts have been widely publicised for many years, and a recent BBC The One Show (February 2024) further highlighted two more recent cases.

Ford recommends the wet belts in these engines – 1.0 EcoBoost and 2.0 EcoBlue – be replaced every 10 years or 150,000 miles, but many owners of these vehicles are experiencing failure long before these milestones.

Firstly, if your Ford Fiesta/Focus/Transit has an EcoBoost or EcoBlue engine, don’t panic.

Shaikly Motor Company in Colchester are independent specialists in assessing and replacing the wet belts in these Ford engines, being equipped with the specialist timing tools and the necessary experience and expertise. Recently, we have carried out a wet belt replacement, removed the sump pan to replace the oil pump belt and cleaned the oil pump pick-up strainer.

The Ford Transit 2.0 Eco Blue Engines suffer from degraded belts, leading to clogged oilways and eventual engine failure. It is essential that a Ford EcoBoost/EcoBlue wet belt is replaced BEFORE it fails – total failure causes irreparable damage and will mean a completely new engine is required. Accessing and replacing a wet belt is a lengthy procedure but far less costly than a completely new engine.

If you have an engine/oil warning light or any sign that your Ford Fiesta, Focus, or Transit, isn’t performing as it should, don’t delay… get it booked in with Shaikly Motor Company for an urgent assessment.
