Luke4efc Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Currently got my Focus in bits changing the cambelt, but just wanted to know if anyone on here knows the differences in the tensioners fitted. I was told that on the RS, Ford fitted an automatic spring type (like on the aux belts), where as the ST had the manual type fitted where you line a tab up against 2 points for the correct tension. When I removed the cover on mine, the automatic type has been fitted. I'm guessing that either Ford started fitting automatic tensioners to the later engines, or the cambelt has been changed before I took ownership. This wasn't recorded anywhere, and the aux belts are dated 2009. Long story short, anyone know if there's a date on the Volvo cam belt? I'd have thought you can decode the batch number to find the date. Doesn't really make much difference since it's all in bits now and might aswell be changed (curse this stupid water pump), but it would be nice to know.
