vinnyvangough Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Ford changed the meaning of zetec from an engine name to a spec of interior etc If it says Duratec it will be a Duratec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyvangough Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 No problem Ford had the name Zetec for the engines in the Escort's etc, but when the Focus came on the scene they changed the meaning of the word Zetec from an engine name to a car spec, just like Titanium is too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin lancelott Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 First we had the silver top zetec engines then the black tops now duratec.The MK1 focus RS has a zetec even though its called a duratec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 No The zetec and duratec are different engines. The duratec is all alloy and has a timing chain, better gas flow through the head and is a more powerful and torquey engine than the zetec. The zetec is belt driven and has an iron block. Mazda were the developers of the duratec engine at the start too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Mk 3 Mondeo Duratec engines were chain driven, therefore for a period, what you are saying was correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I stand corrected then lol Cheers for the more accurate information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The Zetec engine is cam belt driven, the Duratec chain driven. Ford changed the name ( re badged) the Zetec engine in the Focus to Duratec i.e. The ST170 engine is a Black top Zetec badged as Duratec. The difference between the Zetec and the Duratec that is easy to spot is, looking at the front of the engine, not the gearbox end, the zetec has the inlet on the left, exhaust on the right, Duratec inlet on the right, exhaust, left.

btmaldon Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 So the Duratec that is a Duratec is chain driven and the Duratec thats really a Zetec is belt driven. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young02ZX3 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I bought a 5 speed trans for my '02 ZX3. The serial # is 1s7r-7f096. I was told by the guy I got it from that it was a MTX-75 trans for my car. Searching the number on the housing it shows up as a Ford Mondeo TDI. Does anybody know about this model trans, and will it still work in my car? I'd hate to buy another trans. Is this trans a Duratec or Zetec trans?

Without knowing what engine is in the car, it's impossible to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
