vibeone Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 2.0 TDCI '09... I've been quoted £460 for genuine parts, £380 for non-gen - these prices include the cambealt + water pump since it seems most people get the pump done at the same time. Questions... 1) These prices any good? (Ford warranty centre) 2) Who is the manufacturer of the genuine parts? 3) Gen or non-gen? 4) Water pump yes or no? 5) Add the aux belt? Thanks!

blackbacks Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi As a matter of interest, what mileage is on the car and what indicates that the cam belt needs changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IINexusII Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 his car is nearing the 100k mark, there are usually no signs of the cam belt wearing, until the thing snaps and takes the engine along with it. in my case i bought the car around 105k, and only found out the water pump was leaking a few weeks later, i replaced the cam belt along with it. personally i wouldnt go up to 100k again, 80k is a good time to change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibeone Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Just for reference, since the car is in tomorrow... This thread is about the Ford Focus 2008 mk2.5 2.0 TDCI CAMBELT / timing belt change (Trying to find this thread again was a disaster!!) I decided to go with non-gen. Because it was Gates anyway. So seemed a pointless waste of £80 on a car that is well out of warranty anyway. It's at 107k now, which is way too high to leave it BUT for ref, the ford interval is 120k. Madness. My car is using a LOT of water, so although I'm now led to believe the water pump DOESNT have to be changed - it's on the aid belt?? - I'll get it done anyway, along with the aux belt Also MOT due. Great times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredfox Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 keep us posted when it passes the mot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibeone Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Boom! MOT straight through with no advisories apart from the stupid 'you have an undertray' one! Aux belt was free issue - zero parts zero labour which was a nice touch. £422 for both belts, and MOT pass is alright. Expensive but good for peace of mind! Anyone know if the fuel filter is a big job? They've wuoted £49 all in so it can't be much hassle?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeer Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Don't think the fuel filter is a major change but this issue comes with making sure the fuel is primed and pumped back into the fuel filter otherwise you may have starting problems hence why I've never tried it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibeone Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Did it on my 1.8 previously without a problem just priming the filter... Might give it a go... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredfox Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 fuel filter does not cost that much and diy skills and you save your self £49 better in your pockt than there's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunytee1600 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My fuel filter was £8.my advise is fill plastic filter housing 3/4 with diesel and .... Don't drain the housing via the plastic drain screw as its prob going to leak leading to a never start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
