    Novice mechanic here having successfully completed this job on my connect 2k miles ago. My van snapped its wet belt about 7 years ago at 50k miles according to the previous owner, but they didn't convert to a chain after rebuilding the head. 60k miles later, having spent a month converting it to a wee camper, I decided that leaving it wasn't worth the risk! Thanks to this video and the video from badgertronix i was saved a fair chunk of cash, have a van that (probably) won't explode, and I got a good bit of experience at the same time. My belt was cracked to high heaven too, so taking the plunge was the right decision.
    Some things to note from my experience:
    My camshaft pully was stuck on tight, no amount of tapping would free it. I was able to pop it off easily with a homemade puller using 3 m10 bolts and some thick steel for the body with 3 holes drilled. You'll need some nuts too. I'll let you work out the rest (part of the fun eh). So just be prepared for this. Ford make a dedicated tool but i couldn't find one anywhere really.
    My new crankshaft seal was leaking quite badly when i installed it, so i replaced with the old one and it was completely fine, still going strong. The seal was from FAI in the lymm engine kits. I saw another guy had this issue so it may be common. So just try this before you go diving back in there thinking the alignment is off.
    Cheers Alan.

      Absolutely brilliantly explained and carried out by a man who knows what he's doing, what manufacturer in their right mind would design an engine like this to put a wet belt inside an engine and then another belt on the outside making it double trouble, if either of those belts fail then that engine is toast but I suppose it's a good way of selling engines for Ford. I believe they are doing the new 2ltr diesel the same way, I for one will Never buy a Ford with this stupid engine fitted because as usual with Ford as long as it lasts till the end of the warranty period their fine with that and then it's you parting with the cash, nice one Ford.

    Still a great video Alan. Now coming up on 300,000 miles, this was my second time doing this job with the engine in the vehicle (Ford dealer did it at 100,000 miles). A couple of things I found:
    (1) You won't get the water pump off without taking the auxilliary drive belt tensioner off first (1 x 10mm screw and 1 x 13mm screw into block). There physically isn't the room to lift it upwards between the engine and the wheel-arch/side of the engine bay - it has to be passed rearwards and the tensioner pulley will be in the way.
    (2) Getting that engine mounting bracket off is a nightmare due to the length of the bolts holding it on. You need to take the water pump pulley off first to make extra room to wiggle the mounting bracket around (likewise when re-fitting after wet belt is fitted - make sure the mounting bracket is fitted before re-fitting the water pump pulley) - also jacking the engine up a bit creates a bit more clearance.
    (3) Its important to re-fit the wiring harness to the injectors and various sensors on top of the rocker cover (disconnected to remove the rocker cover) the same way it was originally. When I did this the previous time, I routed the wiring over the fuel pipes instead of under them and it must have strained some wiring resulting in the car going into limp mode until such time as the wiring harness was put under the fuel pipes.

    There's no prospect of me ever owning any vehicles with this engine, but I watched the video anyway just to see what the hell a wet belt set up would look like. I don't like the look of it! But I liked the video a lot shows how the job is done in the real world. Probably would have been worth doing the video on a real customer job or having at least the new kit of parts, but you definitely demonstrated how to get the job done. It kept my interest through out even after I'd seen the wet belt, I got sucked in and had to see the rest of the demo! Only observation, when refitting the crank pulley carefully over the seal, I reckon a smear of engine oil on the sealing surface on the pulley and / or the seal would be a help to assist sealing and minimise risk of teh seal getting caught and nicked. But as you said you've done hundreds of these so evidently fitting it dry but with great care works just fine! Top vid. Kudos to you for being a real skilled mechanic

      It is possible but a little awkward, i've done quiet a few, if your belt has gone the pistons WILL need to be replaced as they crack at the swirl cup edges.
      A trick if you need to change the pistons is to carefully break the thin aluminium webbing away from the lower half of the crankcase rather than seperating the two halves to allow access to the connecting rod bolts because they are a nightmare to seal if you split the halves.
      It takes extra work to get the top belt timing marks lined back up but it is not essential because the top cam sprocket is not keyed and the pump does not require timing.
      Although it isn't essential it just makes the next guys job easier when doing the next upper belt change if you time the pump and cam sprockets properly on assembly.

    In our work fleet ,we had 6 out of 6 transit connects with failed wet belts. All of them failed between 25k and 90k kilometers, and one of them even failed twice. Some of these vehicles did however have a fair deal of idle hours, but still all of them was covered under ford 100k km driveline warranty. Must be said that climate here is fairly harsh and temperatured could go as low as -25C in the winter.

    Hello Alan, very good video. I checked my engine (qyba on my mondeo), unfortunatly the belt hasn't been replace at 200 kM and tooth has been damaged at 285kM. The engine failed at about 30mph and was enough to bent 6 valves and damage the 4 pistons and destroyed the cam shaft. I really don't understand why Ford made this f*ck**g design on that wet belt. Now I have to find an engine that is quite hard ...here in France. It seems the connecting rods and crankshaft are not damaged but anyway I will have to replace the pistons.. great watching your video again and again..Many thanks to you !

      hello, if it is just a few dents on top of the pistons...that is ok... the piston heads are pretty thick, as long as the bores are not damaged.however, it is a lot of time and expense whether you fix or replace the head or get a new engine

      Hello Alan, thank for your answer. I think I have to replace the four really damaged pistons unfortunately (the engine is out of the car so it's easier to work on it now). While making complete revolution of crankshaft the 4 pistons are coming at the same high point (I think I don't have bent connecting rods or damages on crankshaft).The plastic guide of the timing belt has been broken where stands a circlip (12.28s in your video). I think I'm going to replaced by chain kit + water pump. I got a new head (valves and camshaft complete in use for 70€ !! 80% discount). So I think by chance it will cost me not too much money...(half price than a used engine at 2000€). Any idea or comment is welcomed.10.000 thks.

      Hello Alan, finally my Ford Mondeo engine is rebuild with parts. Engine kit, welt timing belt, upper time belt, water pump, news valves and pistons, 9 pairs of bearings , fire gaskets for injectors, coolant thermostat...all is fine I just drove 65 kilometers this afternoon and all looks good. I would say it cost me a total of 800-900€ and tools (150€, hopefully I had already a lot of them) and 15 full days f.
      I want to thank you again for your video, you can be proud to say you saved a french mondeo (lot of laugh).
      10.000 thanks again for sharing your knowledge and hope as you said someone else in the world. I wish you all the best ! Take care of you and your family.

    Love your vids , after 11 months and 3 goes including shiming the aligning tool for the belt cover , i finally worked out why my seal was leaking , you're supposed to leave seal sit for at least 4 hours before starting engine , left mine for at least 24 . After a few thousand miles no leaks , just one question what's your opinion on mk 2 focus 1.8tdci , cheers Ian .

      My mum had the mk2 focus and had little problems that were wear n tear, but every car is the same, but like he said these engine suffers from slip timing belt and then engine is scrap, my mums focus timing slipped and we chose for the scrappy, but every car has there pros and cons.

    Hi. This video is very helpful. Thanks for uploading it. My question is that on my car the cam shaft snaped which has bent the valve luckily it didn't damaged the pistons. So I have bought the new head with complete valves, Hydraulic lifters and camshaft. So the timing is all out at the moment. I have bought the complete timing tool kit. I have used the timing bar to lock the camshaft from the right hand side. How do I lock the the fuel pump pulley and how do I use the locking pin to lock the crank pulley. In this video the belt is being changed in a normal circumstances n mine is completely different case. Please someone help. Thanks.
