Normally I cringe at silent how-to videos, but this one is the clearest and most informative on how to install this belt in a Ford Fiesta. I know, he "cheated" by demonstrating on an engine removed from the car. But that is why it is so good. The camera is in a place where you can actually see each step and how it is done. The "real world" engine-in-car videos fail to do that. Often real life has to be altered to create an effective video.
I loosen the lower screw of the alternator, then the two top ones, I pass the belt, and then I return the two top screws and tighten the bottom one, without tools, and much simpler, thanks from Brazil
Just a tip because I struggled on 2 occasions with this belt - both times I had the wrong belt. They were both 1.4 Fiesta belts but I was given the wrong ones. Triple check the size as there are Fiestas that could be the same year as yours and the same engine capacity so work on the engine code. For example the M6JAxxxx engine takes a 6PK1037 belt and there are other similar engines that take a 1019mm belt. Also take the drivers wheel off on a RHD and remove the plastic cover and you will have perfect access ( no need to remove the engine lol ). Make sure the belt as a EE on the end if its Dayco or says stretch on it because a stretch belt will shrink back to spec once it gets heated by the engine. Dnt try to heat it like I tried as that makes the belt smaller ironically. Anyway this is a super frustrating job if you dnt do it right ( you might get lucky using cable ties though instead of the special tool. It is an easy job but mechanics charge so much. The Ford belt here in South Africa costs just over 5 times more than the Dayco and other decent belts.
Bought the ford belt and tool for $60 from rock auto, my belt lasted 140k km it was badly cracked and had holes in it! Installed today with help from this video, thank you made it much easier to get a visual of that side of the engine.
This really helped with my 2014 Ford Fiesta. With the engine out it is clear how to do everything! This looks easy but with engine attached not so much. Thanks for the video!
Thanks you very much for your belt installation video. I bought the belt from the ford dealer and wasn’t sure what to do with the tools. I installed it in about 30 minutes.
Here's a way of fitting the water pump stretch belt on a Ford Fiesta or Focus without using specialist tools, especially when the vehicle has Air Con. First remove 3 of the 4 water pump bolts. Then loosen the last bolt just enough so the pulley can be twisted off the water pump central locator . Fit the new stretch belt onto all the pulleys leaving the water pump pulley til last. If the belt seems too small to go onto the water pump pulley turn the pulley so it pivot on the remaining bolt until the belt goes on (if at this point the belt will still not go onto the water pump pulley check it's fitted correctly onto the other pulleys or check the belt is the correct size). With the belt fitted onto all the pulleys turn the water pump pulley until the position of the remaining bolt is at 1 o'clock. Now first make sure you have a 10mm spanner within reaching distance, then using a pry bar or long screw driver lever the water pump pulley using the crank pulley as a rest until it twists back onto the water pump central locator now tighten the one water pump pulley bolt. If the pulley's on correctly the 3 removed bolts will screw back in easily. Hope this helps. It did for me and was a lot less stressful than even refitting the belt with the correct tools.
I should have read this before. I will check if this works today. Tried to fit by loosing the alternator last night but I couldn't return the alternator to its position after setting the belt...
I need to replace the belt on our ka+ (snapped today!) I also thought it would be better to fit the belt to the ribbed pulleys first and slide the smooth side of the belt onto the water pump pulley - makes more sense as there's more danger of damaging the belt when moving it across a ribbed pulley. I'd thought about making a steel 'guide' which could be attached to 2 of the bolts on the water pump to move the belt as the pulleys are turned. Your idea is good though, so I may well try it
I can't believe this shit! Mechanic for 45 years on German Cars, but doing a friend a favor on this pile of crap...sorry ever to have touched it. This is way beyond stupidity!
Made in China for $1 sold in the West for $300 no doubt , I had to buy two shackles for my springs that would of been made locally in Australia 20 years ago for about $20 , today made in China $450 .
thank you for using and demonstrating the correct tool to use! the other PoC tool the local Advance and AutoZone sell to unsuspecting customers doesn't work. they sold the wrong tool to me even though their own website says to use the Dayco 93879.
As long as you have the service kit, this looks like a better design. How many cars do you hear with squealing belts all the time? With a stretch belt in proper condition, the tension will always be perfectly set! And the service tool holds the belt for you against its own tension so it doesn’t slip off. Trying to line a belt up with one arm on the tensioner was a bitch for me on my 2000 Focus. I wasn’t able to remove the passenger side engine mount so it took me over an hour to change that belt. I’ve got a fiesta now, so hopefully the kit is not expensive. I think this will be a lot easier.
Есть способ проще оставляем шкив помпы на одном болту так что бы он болтался и из посадки вылетал одеваем ремень крутим коленвал помпа встает на свое место закручиваем оставшиеся 3 болта вот и все
The tool that goes on the crank pulley is not always the right shape and u may have to bend it a bit to fit. I bust my knuckles up trying to pry it into place before just bending it to the correct shape with channel locks
I just bought a fiesta and realized it has a “stretch belt”. I’ve always done my own belts and I’m not familiar with this. There’s no tensioner? Are those special service tools really required to get a stretch belt on correctly, or at least without ingenuity? Not sure what was wrong with spring loaded tensioners to begin with. These stretch belts aren’t reusable are they? Once it’s off, it’s off for good?
The belt can be put on without special tools. If you buy a decent belt like from the dealer, it will come with all the items shown to install the belt with ease. You can remove the belt without damaging it and reinstall it. I simply cut this belt off because it was no good and hence did not need to fool around with proper removal.
Trying that in chassis would be extremely difficult. A brand new belt will come with the tools shown in the video, even parts store belts come with the tools. If you don't have the tool to install it, it may be worth the money just to replace the belt and thus acquiring the tools to put it on damage and stress free.
Philip Ashton yes you can. I bought the belt from O'Reileys for $50 instead of $108 at the dealership with the install kit. When I asked the dealership parts, multiple dealerships, they had no idea what I was talking with the install kit. It's not easy, but I did it.
So this would come down to manufacturers trying to save a bit of money by eliminating the tensioner? What happens when the belt stretches? Go and by a new belt? Is it me or are modern cars crap and a pile of plastic that disintegrates or cracks in a couple of years? Metal parts dont suffer these issues.
Metal parts crack and dent and rust, it's that we're flying too close to the sun with our technology. You can make a plastic fantastic car that's simple and will run nicely, it's been done. The problem is these new breed of cars are all meant to be cheap to make, while still being "fancy" and adhere to government rules. It makes designing a no nonsense car almost impossible, and with corporate execs wanting higher profits vehicle sales are "not enough" so they design things carelessly because they would prefer to work on the car and make that money on service. It's all corporate and consumer driven. It's unlikely to change.
Relax people, there's plenty of space to do the job in the car, if you think it's tight you've clearly never worked on an Audi with XL size hands. It's actually a great design eliminating the need for tensioners or extra pullies that could possibly fail. It's down fall being that you have to cut off the belt If you need to remove it.
Not really! You can remove the water pump pulley and the belt will come loose enough to take off and re-install it later. I'm a German Car mechanic for 45 years and have never seen anything that stupid! Ruined 2 belt before I managed on the 3rd. try by having to modify the "Tool" somewhat to crap on to the crank pulley while turning.

I don't even know what else to do, regarding what I am explaining to you, I await your prompt clarification, please, greetings.
YE Flaming Gods !!!! How are you expected to do that with the engine in the hole. Clever kit though. Its a pity the bloke who designed the kit was not employed to design a better way of not fitting/using a stretch belt in the first place. Like the old auto tension idea.
Why can’t ford just use a self tensioner so much more easier, stretch belts are a paint in the ass to fit when engine on the car, this is easier as on the bench
...yea, that kit they give you to help put the belt on has never worked. I've put it on exactly like in the video with 4 kits and each time the metal piece twangs off and becomes useless. Zip ties work great though
you don't even need that tool. bc most diy'ers aren't going to have that shoe horn looking tool. i got stuck and inventive used a small vise grip clamping belt to crank pulley and spinning it and with other hand kept belt from walking off from under the water pump pulley. check my vid out to see what tools.
8788luigi they had to figure out something after their engineer's left out tensioner when they designed that motor lol. I'm shocked that they don't have a dealer only part type belt and has belt holes and a buckle like on our pants 😂😂😂😂😂
