This is the best video on the internet for the 1.6 zetec engines! Went through everything down to the last nut and bolt. Well done mate really appreciate it.
Thanks for a great video. As a mechanic some 25 years ago I am now confined to home DIY due to age and this video gave me the info I needed to work on a "modern" engine. I would add though that for the average home mechanic the main problem with this job is the removal and retorqueing of the crank pulley bolt. It is VERY tight and my quality zip gun and small home compressor had no chance of removing it. You need a large compressor capable of producing a continuous 8 bar+ to get the required power from an impact wrench, which of course most decent garages will have. I strongly recommend using the Sealey flywheel locking tool (don't get a cheapo tool made of low quality steel) and organise a long (at least a metre) bar to obtain the necessary leverage to undo this bolt and similar to retorque the new bolt when you have got the new belt on and timed.
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated! the flywheel locking tools are really useful.. I must admit its easy to take the buzz gun for granted when we have a decent air supply 👍
I did this job as a green diy mechanic and I can confirm that your comment is spot on! I was moderately well prepared, ( no air gun), I improvised some pulley blocking tool and pulled my ass off with a breaker bar to get it loose. Tensioning: I didn't manage to set it to the required torque, so i just set it as tight as i could. I used the locking pin during tensioning and I bent it out of shape. The car is still running perfect, six years and 45000 km later.
You are such an honest mechanic.....what a great work ethic you have....superb video mate....I just bought a 2008 Ford Focus with genuine 20k on the clock....first thing on the agenda was the timing belt....I found this video and....well...every step...every nut bolt torque setting etc explained....waw....👏👏👏

Excellent video and very informative guide, the fact you've included all necessary tools etc in the description is brilliant and I'll subscribe. Got one of these Mk2 Focus myself, intended to buy to sell on but I think I'll be keeping it long-term as it's a great car. Just thought I'd mention, these 1.6 Zetecs in the Focus can suffer from rainwater and screenwash fluid dripping down and collecting in the recess for the spark plugs/HT leads. As the same engine is used in the Mk2 Volvo S40/V50, the Volvo spark plug cover fits and stops this. I've just fitted one to my Focus for this very reason, circa £21 brand new from a Volvo main dealer. Have now subscribed 👍
Glad it helped.. thanks for the comments! feedback always appreciated as a small channel 👌😃👍 thanks for the tip about the leaking washer jet, I forgot to mention that as I have actually come across it once before on a focus!
If the belt don't fit off the cuff, you only need to undo the rear sprocket and let the tensioner off to pick up the slack. Can't for the life of me understand why people undo both. Great video - forgot the torque settings so was dead handy that this came up.
Wrong !!! always loose both cam sprockets, then release tensioner to pull belt taut, it's the only way to get even tension in the new belt, then nip tensioner bolt up to to torque spec, then nip cam sprockets up to torque, then crank damper pulley.
@@mickeymouse4897 nonsense. The tension is picked up between the crank and the exhaust cam. If the inlet pulley hasn't moved on the shaft, then how is the distance between the inlet pulley and crank any different from when it was first set? I've literally done hundreds of them this way and every single one is fine. It is a completely unnecessary step. If it was needed, as with a chain and vvt, then yes, you more often than not have to allow both pulleys to float before releasing the tensioner. But not on belt. They are made mm perfect each and every time.
@@mickeymouse4897 plus, we're talking about an old Zetec bro. You think you're going to get correlation issues over 1 - 2 degrees out? come on now. This is stone age compared to the more modern stuff that is really fussy about timing.
A MUST you need is a FLYWHEEL LOCKING TOOL Everytime I used the buzz gun to do the crankcase bolt up it screwed up my timing ever so slightly EVERYTIME. Yh your car will run doing it with buzz gun but say good bye to fuel economy and hello to more vibrations in cabin and more problems down the road… just my opinion from my experience but for an extra £30 flywheel tool you can actually torque the bolt to proper specs and keep your timing by locking flywheel. You boys are proper keep up the good stuff 🙌🏼
Tbh mate with a decent buzz gun I’ve never had any problems .. eve. Checking the timing after I’ve always got it bang on.. not to say the locking tool isn’t a good option though .. obviously it it better to use one as it ensures it stays fixed and better if you can torque the bolt correctly
I’m always late to your parties however, yet again, having just bought a Fiesta with the 1.25L engine, your video is a wealth of good information. Superb!
thank you for this video! might have to change the timing belt on my mazda 2 with the 1.4 zetec se, and the fact that you mentioned all of the relevant torque specs makes it really helpfull!
TDC and Paint Mark *everything*, old belt, new belt, crankshaft and both camshaft timing gears and you cant go wrong. With your method, if you are not careful, you could get one tooth wrong... Thanks for the overview and torque specs. 🙏
Just a small point- if I remember correctly, the slots in the end of the cams are offset, so you need to make sure it is on no 1 compression stroke, or the timing tool will not line up with them.
I've just bought one of these to replace a KIA Sedona.. I enquiered about the timing belt on that thing (the sedona) and it was essentially, an engine out job. the locking tool kit was nye on impossible to acquire. This looks, in terms of timing belt jobs.. Relatively easy lol. So glad I changed cars.
@@diydaly yeah man . Hey do you have any clue as to what this noise is th-cam.com/video/euaxQAZTITk/w-d-xo.html Sounds power steering related, sounds most prominent inside car making it difficult to isolate noise.
@@Vanadeo just had a listen.. like you say it’s Gona be quite hard to determine .. it’s does sound like it may be power steering related .. I’d take the aux belt off and spin all the idlers etc up and check for any play first .. then run it without the belt quick see if the noise goes just to isolate it to the auxiliary side of things
Hi and thanks for getting back to me so quickly I followed your video and changed the timing belt and I put everything back, now the problem is engine crank over but not starting. Thanks again
Congratulations, well done for the most beautiful and correct video, all the best, keep up the good work. I am a fellow engineer and its really a pleasure to see such works with such explanation.Well done
Thanks so much! Changed the timing belt in my 2000 Focus this week. Few small differences but works out well. Halfords don't have 16mm spark plug socket in their kit 🙈
So im about do do one of These engines as Well. Do you really bang These crank Bolts only with an Impact gun? Does it reach Out for the crankshaft? And If i would Torque IT the right way, can i Torque the crankshaft Just with the crank Pin in it? Or would it Break? Thanks for helping
Thank you for an excellent video, have done the cambelt om my wifes Fiesta and tour explanation especially the came timing was invaluable, Rgeagards Doc Cox.
Good video mate but just a warning that whacking that bottom pulley can easily damage it, there is a special ribbed belt pulley puller available to do it easily and safely.
Great video, always thought timing belt change was beyond my capability, but after watching this I might just have a go. I think I noticed a crack in the engine mount.
I did this job succesfully as a complete beginner. But looking back; a lot of things could have gone very wrong. But I would do it again. It's a serious task, keep that in mind.
Great video mate, very clearly explained! Doing this next week with my 2007 1.4 Fiesta - fingers crossed all goes well. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos, cheers!
Wasn’t too bad, just a couple of things were a nightmare; the cam sprockets were a half tooth out on the belt so I had to loosen the exhaust cam bolt to tension the gap, and the auxiliary stretch belts were an absolute c**t. Definitely damaged the bearing on the water pump as there is a slight wobble, but as it’s a beater daily so it’ll do for now. Good luck mate
Thanks for this AWESOME video!! Really covers every little detail. I never comment on YT videos, but I really have to say thank you. Was considering doing it myself on my Ford Fiesta (would save a few hundred euros), but had some doubt. Your excellent and very clear video drew me over the line. I'll be doing the job on my Fiesta next week. Thanks, or as we say in the Netherlands: dankjewel!
I started doing the cambelt change and when I turn the crank over i think the valves are hitting what do you advise i might of let the timing out.Very slightly
great video, i would concerned about that o/s strut which is rusty and the engine oil does not look very good either.i used to do cortinas in the 70s.it was a lot easier
Nice video, just a couple of things I'm surprised you didn't torque the crankshaft bolt ...and could not use the alternator pivoting on the bottom bolt to put that nightmare of a belt on..👍🏻
👍 thanks .. I never do tbh mate , with a decent buzz gun saves have to lock the flywheel to torque it .. using tools on a regular basis you get an idea for what right .. I’ve never had any trouble yet but I’d agree if you unsure and can torque it correctly then definelty do it 👍
Great video. How would you tighten the crank pulley bolt if you were using a ratchet/torque wrench? Same way with pin and bar in place? or pin out and bar out in 4th gear with brakes pressed ?
Hi guys just watched your video for changing the water pump and timing belt on the ford fiesta , just a question is the bottom pulley bolt a normal thread or left handed thread ? Oh just want to say great video couldn’t have started to tackle this without it thanks guys 👍
Thanks for the comment Andy! The autodata procedure recommends replacing the bolts every time but tbh I’ve often refitted them with no issues , as long as there torqued correctly you should have any bother.. if the bolts come part of a kit etc and I’ve had to remove them I will always use the new ones 👍
really great video..gotta be the best on you tube concerning this model. well done, everything explained. I'll be down to see you when mine needs doing..getting too old for all that bending over bonnets.. where are you based ?
Brilliant video. I’ve got a 2012 focus (mk3) zetec with the 1.6 non-turbo petrol engine, believe it’s called a “sigma” engine. Water pump may be on its way out, do you reckon it’s a similar job to this?
Great video. Just in the middle of doing mine now. Are there any timing marks on the crank and camshafts? Ive a feeling that the cam and crank timing are slightly off?
@@diydaly don't know what's happened but timing seems way off now. Running very rough after reassembly. Engine still turns by hand so hoping no bent valves
@@koiramies93 I’d take the rocker cover off set the alignment with the tool , remove the tool and wind it back slightly .. put the crank timing pin in and wind in forward till the web locks against the pin and check where yours cam alignment it ..
Great job lads , very informative along with all the links, just one question, as a one man diy job how long should the job take to do, in a ball park figure will do.
@@diydaly 4 hours is what a professional mechanic needs. As a total beginner it took me a week to read in, and two days on the job, 16 hours, four to five times what a professional needs. But I did a good job with no shortcuts.
Hi Mates, Thanks for this awesome video! It helped a ton as I am usually more of a Honda guy. Anyhow, I changed the timing belt on my mates car. And it runs nicely and upon startup it idles fine at 1000 before dropping down to about 750 when warmed up. However in our quick test drive when we left the car idle at a gas station it began to idle a little roughly at around 750rpm. With a repeating "luggin" type noise. This also caused a dimming in the headlight so it makes me feel it's serpentine belt related. I am 99% sure timing is bang on. As it is driving fine with no issues at different speeds throughout the rev range. Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated! 😁
So I fixed it. Tore it all down again and checked timing. This time the timing tool wouldn't slot into both the camshaft slots at the same time. So one of my timing was the issue. I undid the cam pully bolts. Lined the cams up and put the crank to the TDC locking pin. Started the car and all issues are gone. 😁👍
Sorry for the late reply! Been away for the bank holiday weekend! Was just reading the first message and see you have fixed it now 👍👍 glad to hear it , always a pain when there on floating pulleys! Much better when the have keyways! 👌👍
Thank You everso, but one question please. Is it simply the Torque on the Crankshaft Pulley Bolt that keeps the Floating Pulley in place on the Crankshaft? Obviously if it were to spin on the shaft, this'd be catastrophic
Thanks for the comment, I dont tend to but some people may put some on the crank pulley bolt , I don’t like to as it makes them mega hard to get out in the future and I’ve never had a problem not doing 👍
Yes to tbh a lot of timing belt produces say about renewing the engine mount nuts / bolts , I’ve never replaced any unless they are damaged or threads worn.. you’ll be fine reusing them just torque them up correctly 👍
Hi Gav, this is a really informative video thanks for sharing! With the absence of an air gun, would it be possible to torque up the crankshaft bolt with the car being in 4th gear and someone being hard on the brakes, in the same way as you describe to loosen off the bolt. I don't want to apply that much torque against the timing pin and bend it, and ideally I don't want to remove the starter to access the flywheel either. Any thoughts? Thanks
Ey up. I've had this job done, when got the car back after work I noticed that it's now running rich, low on power and sounds rough. Fella said he locked the crank and cams off. My neighbour reckons the crank could have rotated slightly while fitting the belt, which I argued would have been difficult due to the pulley being loose. I have no EML lights either. I can only assume that the timing has gone somewhere and it wasn't cranked by hand to double-check the marks, I don't know what else could have been missed to cause this without throwing any EMLs. The annoying thing is I'm forced to drive it like this until the weekend.
Yeah it’s abit odd if the engine warning lights not on .. if the timing was out if sometimes logs a cam / crank sync fault but not always .. obviously next step is to check the timing 😬 hopefully you get this sorted
@@diydaly Sorted mate, had to take it to a garage. They said it was well out of time possibly 2 teeth out :O .. How it didn't bend any valves, I don't know. One of the lads reckons they are non-interference engines, not sure about that..?. I hear that US spec Zetecs are non-interference, but all euro ones are.. Either way, it seems to be back to its normal self. I got lucky I guess lol. We don't know what happened, the other dude obviously did something wrong, They suspected a loose tensioner. Wont be taking my car to the other dude again lol.
@@Vanadeo nice one, at least you've got it sorted, my best guess would be that they took the crank pulley bolt out expecting it to be on a keyway , you've been lucky with that one! ha .. 2 teeth out is about the max you'll get away with , without any damage being done 👍
Ia there any problem if i put the belt with the numbers and text upside down ? Engine running ok after belt change. Wondering if i should take it off and put it with text reversed. Belt had no arrow for rotation on it thanks ! Very helpful video
I think you'd be ok tbh but ive always been taught to run in with the writing facing you if it doesn't have arrows , I have seen belts the other way round in the past.. glad t helped! 👍
Good demonstration. Only thing I want to pick at is, why mention the torque setting of the coolant bolts which are literally a nip up. And not mention the torque setting of the crank pully bolt?
They are “floating cam pulleys” so you can slacken them both off while tensioning the belt (obviously with the cam locked in position) I prefer to do it without slackening them , I’ve never had the need to tbf you can quite easily fit it without
Will the pin/camlock kit be suitable for a 2007 Ford Fusion? Excellent video mate. going to take a crack at the replacement myself. 1 more question,, if using a breaker to take the crank pulley off you leave the pin in yes? Do you still need to put it in gear & hold the brakes in that situation?
Thanks for the comment.. it will fit the fusion. yeah just put it in 4th gear and get someone to hold the brake hard down.. or lock the flywheel teeth.. you shouldn't leave the timing pin it as there's a good chance you'll bend it
Hi on some engines you could get away with using bolts etc instead of the pins but on this Ford engine you really want to use the proper kit.. if you check the description below my video I’ve put a link to the pin kit 👍
I’ve recently done the cambelt on my C-MAX however, the engine light is now on when the car is running, and throws up a P3040 code on the code reader (can shaft sensor) I assume the timing is slightly off. I didn’t use a timing kit (stupidly) I think I’ve been lucky to have the timing slightly out, opposed to completely out. I assume if I buy a timing kit and follow the steps in the video, that I’d get the timing back on perfect? Great video by the way! Wish I’d seen it sooner!
Hi harry, yeah it sounds like you've got it a tooth out mate! Most timing belts you can get away with just paint marking them but not when they've got a floating bottom pulley. If you get the timing pin kit you'll be able to set it up correctly.. just wind the crank back onto the pin and you should be able to see how far out the camshaft is then 👍👌
Because your type has a timing locking plate. You have to install it behind the crank Pulley. Then line it up with that trigger mark..As they have notches that tell you where it should be...
My girlfriends 2011 Ford fiesta 1.6 ztech S has a hard time starting she has to rev as the exhaust sounds like it Struggles to even start it's a beefy exhaust but it's not a normal sound when starting.. The Rpm gauge goes up by itself when she starts it sometimes..like it revs it's self lol Also has a ticking noise when turn the ignition off like tick tick tick tick tick tick quite quickly from the front of the car. Even when it's just been idle for awhile. It also has EML on and sort of goes into limp mode. It's go no give.. It had a recent timing belt done.. Since then it's been shite. All problems started.. The engine management light was on ever since the timing was done.. The fault codes were showing 6 sensors think it was crank shaft A cam shaft ect ect all sensors were changed ect ect they was all changed., all 6 sensors and then the fucker wouldn't start at all.. No power no electronics nothing.. Then it started working again.. also to mention there is a crack in the exhaust.. Oh and the coolant is having to be topped up all the time.. The exhaust has had a minor repair but still cracked... 🙄 And I think my Gf said something to do with the baffling or back box... Needs changing the exhaust rattles when u shut the door. 😂.. I know fuck all about cars but wish I'd taken up mechanics instead 😂 think it needs the scrap heap
@@lanadelreyfanforever lol it doesn’t sound very healthy! I wouldn’t be using that garage again! The revving up on its on will most likely be due to an air leak.. more it’s sounds like there’s a more serious issues that need looking into first!
@@lanadelreyfanforever Again.. If you had this service done and your vehicle still does not run right. Take if too someone to have it checked...As I even seen dealer ASE Certified Technicians screw these jobs up...Least the dealer has to cough up a new engine. When they screw up..
Hi, I don't have buzz gun and I would like to replace timing belt in my focus too. Because of that I have few questions, I hope it might help others as I can't find definitive answer anywhere on the internet. What is the official procedure of torquing crankshaft? How many Nm I should torque crankshaft and plus how many degrees? Can I torque crankshaft while the only one crankshaft lock(one that you presented on the video) is installed? Wouldn't be too weak? I'd appreciate any help!
Hi thanks for the comment , the official procedure is as follows (2 options depending on the bolt size.. Crankshaft pulley bolt(M12) - Renew the bolt - 4 stages.. 1 = 40NM 2 = 90 degrees 3 = wait 10 seconds 4 = 15 degrees Crankshaft pulley bolt (M14) - Renew the bolt - 4 stages.. 1 = 100NM 2 = 90 degrees 3 = wait 10 seconds 4 = 15 degrees you can't torque it up relying on the locking pins holding It as it will damage them.. the best thing to do would be to lock the flywheel using a prybar / screwdriver in the flywheel teeth
Got car a few weeks back want to check to see if belts been replaced already to see if can leave it a minute…do I have to remove any pulleys to be able to remove the plastic case? And I’m sure original belt would have Ford co on the right? Thanks in advance!!
@@diydaly ok so it does say fomoco on it lol 14 year old belt with 100.000 on it lol time to change! Quick question you don’t have to undo the camshaft bolts to fit the new belt right? Do you ?
@@datwinz3927 lol yeah best get it done , no you don’t have to undo then.. the autodata procedure does advise doing it but it can easily be done without.. basically because they are floating pulleys then can be left slack when tensioning the belt to get it nice and even all the way round.. I’ve loosened them before but 90% of the time I don’t bother 👍

thank you for this video! might have to change the timing belt on my mazda 2 with the 1.4 zetec se, and the fact that you mentioned all of the relevant torque specs makes it really helpfull!
Cracking video lads, was stressing about doing my fiesta but you’ve made it look easier than I’ve been told. Thanks heaps👍
No problem 👍 glad you liked it!
Fantastic guys, thank you. One of the easiest timing jobs in history, I hated it a lot at first, but tbh the crank pin and cam plate are not bad.
👍👍
Easy to understand and follow, super informative with all the stuff needed and torque specs! This is how it’s done, brilliant 👍
Thanks 👍👍🙌
TDC and Paint Mark *everything*, old belt, new belt, crankshaft and both camshaft timing gears and you cant go wrong. With your method, if you are not careful, you could get one tooth wrong... Thanks for the overview and torque specs. 🙏
👍 thanks
Just a small point- if I remember correctly, the slots in the end of the cams are offset, so you need to make sure it is on no 1 compression stroke, or the timing tool will not line up with them.
Yes that’s correct mate 👍 when at tdc both marks are flush with the top of the head
A prime job! No need to watch any other vids, this covers it all! Million thanks!
You're welcome!
I've just bought one of these to replace a KIA Sedona.. I enquiered about the timing belt on that thing (the sedona) and it was essentially, an engine out job. the locking tool kit was nye on impossible to acquire.
This looks, in terms of timing belt jobs.. Relatively easy lol. So glad I changed cars.
Haha yeah there not the best on the Sedona! these are not bad really 👍👌
@@diydaly yeah man . Hey do you have any clue as to what this noise is th-cam.com/video/euaxQAZTITk/w-d-xo.html
Sounds power steering related, sounds most prominent inside car making it difficult to isolate noise.
@@Vanadeo just had a listen.. like you say it’s Gona be quite hard to determine .. it’s does sound like it may be power steering related .. I’d take the aux belt off and spin all the idlers etc up and check for any play first .. then run it without the belt quick see if the noise goes just to isolate it to the auxiliary side of things
@@diydaly thanks dude, we gonna have a closer look tomorrow at the garage :D.. I'll let u know :D.
@@Vanadeo 👍
Hi and thanks for getting back to me so quickly I followed your video and changed the timing belt and I put everything back, now the problem is engine crank over but not starting. Thanks again
Glad it helped
That’s the most professional videos I seem.Tanks a lot!
👍👍 thanks
Very clear instructions to do the job properly. Well done!
Congratulations, well done for the most beautiful and correct video, all the best, keep up the good work.
I am a fellow engineer and its really a pleasure to see such works with such explanation.Well done
Best instructional video I've ever watched. First class job super easy to follow and understand.
Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks, will do!👍
Thanks so much! Changed the timing belt in my 2000 Focus this week. Few small differences but works out well. Halfords don't have 16mm spark plug socket in their kit 🙈
Glad it helped 👍 are that's a pain!lol, there usually decent kits
Hi man after watching your video. I managed to change my timing belt and water pump myself. Cheers for that!!
Nice one! Feels a nice achievement do it yourself doesn’t it👌👍.. glad you got it done ok and thanks for the comment .. much appreciated
Thanks for talking the time to show us, good video very helpful
Glad it was helpful! thanks for the comment , much appreciated 👍👌
How u tight the crankshaft bolt. One of the best video on youtube
With a buzz gun usually, I don't normally torque them.. thanks for the comment, much appreciated!👍👌😃
So im about do do one of These engines as Well. Do you really bang These crank Bolts only with an Impact gun? Does it reach Out for the crankshaft? And If i would Torque IT the right way, can i Torque the crankshaft Just with the crank Pin in it? Or would it Break? Thanks for helping
Really well explained, thanks. Just bought daughter one as first car and need to change the timing belt!
Thanks for the comments , much appreciated! be ideal first car for her
Hello! I had an alternator replacement, and you can tighten the belt with the alternator, you don't need a special equipment for it.
Depends which setup it’s got , if it’s got a stretchy belt they are a fixed alternator
Thank you for an excellent video, have done the cambelt om my wifes Fiesta and tour explanation especially the came timing was invaluable, Rgeagards Doc Cox.
Glad it helped! thanks for the comments, much appreciated as a small YT channel 👍👌
Good video mate but just a warning that whacking that bottom pulley can easily damage it, there is a special ribbed belt pulley puller available to do it easily and safely.
Thanks for the comment and info Jerry 👌👍
Great video, always thought timing belt change was beyond my capability, but after watching this I might just have a go. I think I noticed a crack in the engine mount.
Go for it! they can seem daunting but just take your time and you'll suss it 👍👌
I did this job succesfully as a complete beginner. But looking back; a lot of things could have gone very wrong. But I would do it again. It's a serious task, keep that in mind.
@@tinus411 is she still running okay??
@@chocolatbar360 After seven years she still runs perfect, it's not rocket science.
@@tinus411 As a complete beginner how did you have all the tools needed?
You, my friend, are a genius!! You guys are so great!! Thanks a lot
Thanks for the comment, glad to help 👌
Thanks for this I've done old ford pinto ones before and this really explains everything well.
Glad it helps , thanks 👍
Great video mate, very clearly explained! Doing this next week with my 2007 1.4 Fiesta - fingers crossed all goes well. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos, cheers!
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated! always nice to get some feedback.. im sure you'll sus it out ok mate 👍👍
How did it go as I have the same
Wasn’t too bad, just a couple of things were a nightmare; the cam sprockets were a half tooth out on the belt so I had to loosen the exhaust cam bolt to tension the gap, and the auxiliary stretch belts were an absolute c**t. Definitely damaged the bearing on the water pump as there is a slight wobble, but as it’s a beater daily so it’ll do for now. Good luck mate
@@ryancairney6420 thank you, half way through it now and whoever did it last has set it out of time, probably explains why it runs like a tractor 😂
Fingers crossed you’ll get better mpg and some extra power out of it now then eh!
Excellent video...well explained and easy to understand. Thank you very much...
Thanks very much for the comment, your feedback is appreciated as a small TH-cam channel 👍👌
Thanks for this AWESOME video!! Really covers every little detail. I never comment on YT videos, but I really have to say thank you. Was considering doing it myself on my Ford Fiesta (would save a few hundred euros), but had some doubt. Your excellent and very clear video drew me over the line. I'll be doing the job on my Fiesta next week. Thanks, or as we say in the Netherlands: dankjewel!
Thanks , positive feedback always appreciated 👍 glad it will help you
Amazing Video! About to do it on mine!
One question, how do block the cranckshaft to tighten the bolt in 4 passes?
Thanks a lot for your help guys!
To lock it correctly , you’ll need a flywheel locking tool
Great video, it really helped me replace my water pump and timing belt replacement.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment 👍👍
Another way to get those stretch belts on is loop it round the crank and water pump then pull it over the alternator pully then refit the alternator.
👍👍
Hi can you help will this be the same procedure for ford escort mk6
I started doing the cambelt change and when I turn the crank over i think the valves are hitting what do you advise i might of let the timing out.Very slightly
Do I need to take the timing belt on ford fusion 06 1.6 engine to replace leaking water pump?
great video, i would concerned about that o/s strut which is rusty and the engine oil does not look very good either.i used to do cortinas in the 70s.it was a lot easier
Thanks for the comment Peter 👌👍
Nice video, just a couple of things I'm surprised you didn't torque the crankshaft bolt ...and could not use the alternator pivoting on the bottom bolt to put that nightmare of a belt on..👍🏻
👍 thanks .. I never do tbh mate , with a decent buzz gun saves have to lock the flywheel to torque it .. using tools on a regular basis you get an idea for what right .. I’ve never had any trouble yet but I’d agree if you unsure and can torque it correctly then definelty do it 👍
Sharp Video. Doing this on my 2005 Fiesta soon. And your video was great practical example. I got the timing tools. Wish me luck
Good luck! 👍👍
Great video. How would you tighten the crank pulley bolt if you were using a ratchet/torque wrench? Same way with pin and bar in place? or pin out and bar out in 4th gear with brakes pressed ?
Yeah like you say or I’d lock the flywheel with a tool 👍
Hi guys just watched your video for changing the water pump and timing belt on the ford fiesta , just a question is the bottom pulley bolt a normal thread or left handed thread ? Oh just want to say great video couldn’t have started to tackle this without it thanks guys 👍
Great video, is it essential to replace the camshaft pulley bolts or just good practice?
Thanks in advance
Andy
Thanks for the comment Andy! The autodata procedure recommends replacing the bolts every time but tbh I’ve often refitted them with no issues , as long as there torqued correctly you should have any bother.. if the bolts come part of a kit etc and I’ve had to remove them I will always use the new ones 👍
I didn't replace them, saw no reason, car still runs fine 6 years later.
Good video. Its been very useful . Im doing a fiesta 1.4Ghia. What output power is needed for the impact wrench?
👍 not sure exactly , you’ll need a fair powerfully one though
Very educational video, thank you Gents! Job well done
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the comment 👍
Does the fiesta 1.25 petrol engine only have one auxiliary belt?
Brilliant video so clear in what your doing well done
Thank you kindlyp
Super video well done; but the Escort CVH was so much easier - good old days!!!
haha yeah they were the days! thanks for the comment, much appreciated 👍👌
Im gonna do my own soon.
How do you lock twin cam's?
Same way , the bar at the back locks both
Brilliant video, i especially like the tips that only come with experience. Absolute goldmine if info. loved it guys and many thnaks
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the comments, much appreciated 👌😃👍
Would suggest a LaValier mike to improve your audio. Great channel, thanks for posting. 👍
Thanks for the tip! will look into one 👍
I have done with You... first time!!!!Thanks!!!
Welcome! glad to help 👍👌
Great video mate.. my engine looks the same but it says duratec.. any difference?
yeah should be the same mate 👍
really great video..gotta be the best on you tube concerning this model. well done, everything explained. I'll be down to see you when mine needs doing..getting too old for all that bending over bonnets.. where are you based ?
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated 👌👍😃 .. based in Lincolnshire bud
Brilliant video. I’ve got a 2012 focus (mk3) zetec with the 1.6 non-turbo petrol engine, believe it’s called a “sigma” engine. Water pump may be on its way out, do you reckon it’s a similar job to this?
Yeah I’m sure it should be the same
Great video. Just in the middle of doing mine now. Are there any timing marks on the crank and camshafts? Ive a feeling that the cam and crank timing are slightly off?
Thanks , no as they are all floating pulleys they dont have any marks on the actual pulleys
@@diydaly don't know what's happened but timing seems way off now. Running very rough after reassembly. Engine still turns by hand so hoping no bent valves
@@koiramies93 I’d take the rocker cover off set the alignment with the tool , remove the tool and wind it back slightly .. put the crank timing pin in and wind in forward till the web locks against the pin and check where yours cam alignment it ..
The crank timing bolt you used in the kit was the middle sized one out of the three right?
yes it was mate
Great job lads , very informative along with all the links, just one question, as a one man diy job how long should the job take to do, in a ball park figure will do.
thanks for the comments, much appreciated.. is a DIY attempt , id say allow yourself 4 hours so you can nicely take your time
@@diydaly 4 hours is what a professional mechanic needs. As a total beginner it took me a week to read in, and two days on the job, 16 hours, four to five times what a professional needs. But I did a good job with no shortcuts.
Very good step by step tutorial.
Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment, much appreciated as a small YT channel 👍😃👌
Hi Mates,
Thanks for this awesome video! It helped a ton as I am usually more of a Honda guy.
Anyhow, I changed the timing belt on my mates car. And it runs nicely and upon startup it idles fine at 1000 before dropping down to about 750 when warmed up.
However in our quick test drive when we left the car idle at a gas station it began to idle a little roughly at around 750rpm. With a repeating "luggin" type noise. This also caused a dimming in the headlight so it makes me feel it's serpentine belt related.
I am 99% sure timing is bang on. As it is driving fine with no issues at different speeds throughout the rev range.
Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated! 😁
So I fixed it. Tore it all down again and checked timing. This time the timing tool wouldn't slot into both the camshaft slots at the same time. So one of my timing was the issue.
I undid the cam pully bolts. Lined the cams up and put the crank to the TDC locking pin.
Started the car and all issues are gone. 😁👍
Sorry for the late reply! Been away for the bank holiday weekend! Was just reading the first message and see you have fixed it now 👍👍 glad to hear it , always a pain when there on floating pulleys! Much better when the have keyways! 👌👍
Do the valves get bent if the timing belt snapped while the engine is running?
yes mate
That’s a brilliant video cheers guys got my mk6 fiesta to do shortly
Nice one, thanks for the comment , much appreciated 👍👍👌
Fish , how did it go and this has got to be the best video out there
@@skreamstunt thanks for the comment , much appreciated 👌
Thank You everso, but one question please. Is it simply the Torque on the Crankshaft Pulley Bolt that keeps the Floating Pulley in place on the Crankshaft? Obviously if it were to spin on the shaft, this'd be catastrophic
Yes it is mate, seems mad I know but they do bite well, Ive never known one spin on the shaft .. id rather a keyway myself!
Great video, did you use any thread lock on any of the bolts when refitting?
Thanks for the comment, I dont tend to but some people may put some on the crank pulley bolt , I don’t like to as it makes them mega hard to get out in the future and I’ve never had a problem not doing 👍
This is fantastic work thanks guys for the informative video
Thanks , yeah it should be 👍
hello mate.i have a FYDH enginge is it the same work and tools ?
Yeah should be mate 👍
The Haynes manual says renew engine mounting nuts. I presume there is some locking feature. What do you think?
Yes to tbh a lot of timing belt produces say about renewing the engine mount nuts / bolts , I’ve never replaced any unless they are damaged or threads worn.. you’ll be fine reusing them just torque them up correctly 👍
Excellent detailed video 👍
How many hours labour would you charge for this job? Cheers
A garage would usually charge 3-4 hours Nate
@@diydaly That's reasonable, cheers pal 👍
Hi Gav, this is a really informative video thanks for sharing!
With the absence of an air gun, would it be possible to torque up the crankshaft bolt with the car being in 4th gear and someone being hard on the brakes, in the same way as you describe to loosen off the bolt.
I don't want to apply that much torque against the timing pin and bend it, and ideally I don't want to remove the starter to access the flywheel either. Any thoughts? Thanks
Thanks 👍 yeah you’ll will be Able to do it in 4th gear with the brakes held down , like you say definitely don’t do it with the timing pin in 👍
Got cam locking kit but cams to low for guide to slot in ? Any advice on this problem thanks Ken
At the just an just too low or is it abit out? Could be 180 degrees out, if so do 1 more full oration of the crank shaft see if it goes in
Very well done video nice and clear of what he is doing
Thanks 👍👍
Ey up.
I've had this job done, when got the car back after work I noticed that it's now running rich, low on power and sounds rough. Fella said he locked the crank and cams off. My neighbour reckons the crank could have rotated slightly while fitting the belt, which I argued would have been difficult due to the pulley being loose. I have no EML lights either.
I can only assume that the timing has gone somewhere and it wasn't cranked by hand to double-check the marks, I don't know what else could have been missed to cause this without throwing any EMLs.
The annoying thing is I'm forced to drive it like this until the weekend.
Yeah it’s abit odd if the engine warning lights not on .. if the timing was out if sometimes logs a cam / crank sync fault but not always .. obviously next step is to check the timing 😬 hopefully you get this sorted
Yep.. hopefully no damage will be done till tomorrow night now.. hes having it back tomorrow
@@Vanadeo 🤞 you get it sorted
@@diydaly Sorted mate, had to take it to a garage. They said it was well out of time possibly 2 teeth out :O .. How it didn't bend any valves, I don't know.
One of the lads reckons they are non-interference engines, not sure about that..?. I hear that US spec Zetecs are non-interference, but all euro ones are.. Either way, it seems to be back to its normal self. I got lucky I guess lol. We don't know what happened, the other dude obviously did something wrong, They suspected a loose tensioner. Wont be taking my car to the other dude again lol.
@@Vanadeo nice one, at least you've got it sorted, my best guess would be that they took the crank pulley bolt out expecting it to be on a keyway , you've been lucky with that one! ha .. 2 teeth out is about the max you'll get away with , without any damage being done 👍
Ia there any problem if i put the belt with the numbers and text upside down ? Engine running ok after belt change. Wondering if i should take it off and put it with text reversed. Belt had no arrow for rotation on it thanks ! Very helpful video
I think you'd be ok tbh but ive always been taught to run in with the writing facing you if it doesn't have arrows , I have seen belts the other way round in the past.. glad t helped! 👍
@@diydaly thank you so much for the reply !
@@gigimarfa877 👍
Thank you Lads, best fiesta video ever. so much info.
Glad it was helpful! thanks for the comment Dave 👍👌
Good demonstration. Only thing I want to pick at is, why mention the torque setting of the coolant bolts which are literally a nip up. And not mention the torque setting of the crank pully bolt?
loved the video btw. please keep sharing more videos!
Thank you! Will do! 👍👌
does the pulleys have no adjustment for the belts
They are “floating cam pulleys” so you can slacken them both off while tensioning the belt (obviously with the cam locked in position) I prefer to do it without slackening them , I’ve never had the need to tbf you can quite easily fit it without
Wish there was a video of someone tightening the crank bolt properly
Top video mate in detail fantastic 👍you boys are very good mechenics 👍👍👍
Thanks 🙌👍👍
Could this be done without taking the wheel off on the mk6 fiesta by any chance?
I’d say so if you had to, might just be a tight squeeze for access
Will the pin/camlock kit be suitable for a 2007 Ford Fusion?
Excellent video mate. going to take a crack at the replacement myself.
1 more question,, if using a breaker to take the crank pulley off you leave the pin in yes? Do you still need to put it in gear & hold the brakes in that situation?
Thanks for the comment.. it will fit the fusion. yeah just put it in 4th gear and get someone to hold the brake hard down.. or lock the flywheel teeth.. you shouldn't leave the timing pin it as there's a good chance you'll bend it
I need to change the water pump on my 1.6 ford fusion 2006 I wonder if it’s the same engine as in the video can someone help please
Was that the original cam belt? I've recently taken ownership of a 2006 Fiesta 1.25 on the original belt. Having it done this week.
Yeah this was on its first belt still if I remember correctly
My ford laser has a key way on crank shaft & dowl pins on cam shafts..thank u for the bolt tensions .🙂😀
👍👍
Do yous not slacken the camshaft pulleys
I don’t tend to slacken the pulleys mate .. it can be done but they are floating pulleys so obs no keyway.. 👍
thanks for the video . what is the lock tools call? could I use a little long screw to instead the lock pin?
Hi on some engines you could get away with using bolts etc instead of the pins but on this Ford engine you really want to use the proper kit.. if you check the description below my video I’ve put a link to the pin kit 👍
I’ve recently done the cambelt on my C-MAX however, the engine light is now on when the car is running, and throws up a P3040 code on the code reader (can shaft sensor) I assume the timing is slightly off.
I didn’t use a timing kit (stupidly) I think I’ve been lucky to have the timing slightly out, opposed to completely out. I assume if I buy a timing kit and follow the steps in the video, that I’d get the timing back on perfect?
Great video by the way! Wish I’d seen it sooner!
Hi harry, yeah it sounds like you've got it a tooth out mate! Most timing belts you can get away with just paint marking them but not when they've got a floating bottom pulley. If you get the timing pin kit you'll be able to set it up correctly.. just wind the crank back onto the pin and you should be able to see how far out the camshaft is then 👍👌
Because your type has a timing locking plate. You have to install it behind the crank Pulley. Then line it up with that trigger mark..As they have notches that tell you where it should be...
My girlfriends 2011 Ford fiesta 1.6 ztech S has a hard time starting she has to rev as the exhaust sounds like it Struggles to even start it's a beefy exhaust but it's not a normal sound when starting.. The Rpm gauge goes up by itself when she starts it sometimes..like it revs it's self lol Also has a ticking noise when turn the ignition off like tick tick tick tick tick tick quite quickly from the front of the car. Even when it's just been idle for awhile. It also has EML on and sort of goes into limp mode. It's go no give..
It had a recent timing belt done.. Since then it's been shite. All problems started.. The engine management light was on ever since the timing was done.. The fault codes were showing 6 sensors think it was crank shaft A cam shaft ect ect all sensors were changed ect ect they was all changed., all 6 sensors and then the fucker wouldn't start at all.. No power no electronics nothing.. Then it started working again.. also to mention there is a crack in the exhaust.. Oh and the coolant is having to be topped up all the time.. The exhaust has had a minor repair but still cracked... 🙄 And I think my Gf said something to do with the baffling or back box... Needs changing the exhaust rattles when u shut the door. 😂.. I know fuck all about cars but wish I'd taken up mechanics instead 😂 think it needs the scrap heap
@@lanadelreyfanforever lol it doesn’t sound very healthy! I wouldn’t be using that garage again! The revving up on its on will most likely be due to an air leak.. more it’s sounds like there’s a more serious issues that need looking into first!
@@lanadelreyfanforever Again.. If you had this service done and your vehicle still does not run right.
Take if too someone to have it checked...As I even seen dealer ASE Certified Technicians screw these jobs up...Least the dealer has to cough up a new engine. When they screw up..
Hi, I don't have buzz gun and I would like to replace timing belt in my focus too.
Because of that I have few questions, I hope it might help others as I can't find definitive answer anywhere on the internet.
What is the official procedure of torquing crankshaft?
How many Nm I should torque crankshaft and plus how many degrees?
Can I torque crankshaft while the only one crankshaft lock(one that you presented on the video) is installed? Wouldn't be too weak?
I'd appreciate any help!
Hi thanks for the comment , the official procedure is as follows (2 options depending on the bolt size..
Crankshaft pulley bolt(M12) - Renew the bolt - 4 stages.. 1 = 40NM 2 = 90 degrees 3 = wait 10 seconds
4 = 15 degrees
Crankshaft pulley bolt (M14) - Renew the bolt - 4 stages.. 1 = 100NM 2 = 90 degrees 3 = wait 10 seconds
4 = 15 degrees
you can't torque it up relying on the locking pins holding It as it will damage them.. the best thing to do would be to lock the flywheel using a prybar / screwdriver in the flywheel teeth
I put the accesories belt on by unbolting the alternator :))), really anoying to do but doable after a lot of elbow grease....
Anyway that works will do mate 👌👍
Got car a few weeks back want to check to see if belts been replaced already to see if can leave it a minute…do I have to remove any pulleys to be able to remove the plastic case? And I’m sure original belt would have Ford co on the right? Thanks in advance!!
YeH the original belt will be stamped with fomoco I’m sure , you shouldn’t need to remove any pulleys , just the engine mount
@@diydaly your the man thank you!! Keep up the GREAT work as when it is time to change belt I’m using your vid :) gonna subscribe too! :) 💜
@@datwinz3927 glad to hear it! Thanks mate 👌👍
@@diydaly ok so it does say fomoco on it lol 14 year old belt with 100.000 on it lol time to change! Quick question you don’t have to undo the camshaft bolts to fit the new belt right? Do you ?
@@datwinz3927 lol yeah best get it done , no you don’t have to undo then.. the autodata procedure does advise doing it but it can easily be done without.. basically because they are floating pulleys then can be left slack when tensioning the belt to get it nice and even all the way round.. I’ve loosened them before but 90% of the time I don’t bother 👍
