Oil-immersed timing belt on the 2.0 EcoBlueValve timing
- Engine / equipment
- 2.0 EcoBlue diesel: Transit, Transit Custom, Ranger, Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy, Kuga and Focus
- Period mentioned
- 2016 onwards
- Symptoms
- Often with no prior warning: belt debris in the oil, an oil-pressure warning or a broken belt with serious engine damage.
- Possible cause described
- Diesel from unfinished particulate-filter regenerations gets into the oil and degrades the belt, which runs in it; in extreme cases material comes off and blocks the oil-pump strainer. Ford cut the belt, tensioner and idler change from 10 years or 240,000 km to 6 years or 160,000 km on the Transit and Transit Custom.
- Check for the garage
- Follow the new 6-year or 160,000 km interval, check the belt condition and whether the oil level rises (diesel dilution); avoid trips that cut regenerations short.
- Cost cited in the source
