2018 Ford Transit Custom - Eco Blue - Wet Timing Belt Replacement - Time Lapse

2018 Ford Transit Custom Eco Blue Wet Timing Belts Replacement

Just a time lapse of a job I did recently for a customer. Showing roughly how it’s done, what is involved and the general procedure I use

Any questions, please ask 👍🏼

I always change intermediate shaft bolt with its own torque sequence, these are known to break if not changed, or torqued wrong, I also fit a new crank bolt which has a crazy torque sequence which equates to about 6 stages and a total of about 430nm off top of my head. Also you can jack the engine where the gearbox stabilizer meets the box, allowing you to remove sump and fit the oil pump belt at the same time. Just a heads up.

The total brake failure that my son experienced while coming off the slip road at Junction 10 on the M23 motorway was terrifying and he (and his apprentice) were fortunate not to have been involved in a major accident at this busy junction.
The cause of the failure is well documented - the use of the wet belt inside the EcoBoost engine causes delamination over time. Debris from it eventually clogs the pick up pipe and vacuum pump which then fails causing the brake pedal to go hard.
The brake pedal simply cannot be depressed to slow the vehicle no matter how hard you try.
He is self-employed and relies on his Ford Transit Custom van everyday. It is currently at a Hendy Ford garage awaiting a goodwill gesture from Ford - as it is a few months out of warranty - yet the wet belt was not due to be changed for another 30, 000 miles at the earliest.The current estimated cost of the repairs are £1, 800! In addition, the failure of the wet belt may have caused damage to the turbo and the cost to replace it would be £1, 000 according to Hendy. He has had the vehicle regularly serviced - using the specified oil.
Ford have a duty to undertake the repairs - and cover any additional damages resulting from the delamination of the wet belt but they are digging their heels in - offering a fraction of the repair cost.

I’ve got this engine in a focus wen do you recommend I change the timing belt I’m coming up to 61k miles now had oil changed every 10 k for last 20k miles before that was the 18k what ford recommended this was before I knew it had a wetbelt
Also it’s a 19 plate April 2019 I bought it

Bonjour combien D'heure de travail en tous ?

Ford does recommend using a new crank pulley bolt when doing this job. At least that's what the Ford dealer showed me when i had my belt changed

[zambotv]

Man that's a really badly designed engine. Well done, great video

[stucc]

Charge an hour labour only took 11 mins 😂.

[TwIn]

All that work to just reuse the same crank bolt 😢

[steveobrien]

what a ridiculous design --i can't think of a single advantage except swelling the coffers of the service department.

[deanbaker]

what a rubbish backward step, all down to cost chain all day
