jack1996 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hello, I have a Ford Focus 1.8L MK2.5 and have owned it for 2 years now. In the last couple of months my timing belt has developed a squeak. I had a new timing belt put on the car when purchased 2 years ago and have only driven 8000 miles since. When I spray water on the belt it stops squeaking temporarily but after a while it comes back. I have recently noticed some plastic has broken off in the below picture and was wonder if this could cause it to squeak. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Upn08dpnbStlaOQSHEh7x2yMIrZG3pYT/view?usp=drivesdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz0000000 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 That looks like the aux drive belt , I would replace the broken pulley and inspect the belt while your doing it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 That pulley needs replacing. The belt will come off without the ridges on the pulley edges. If a bit has broken off then the plastic is probably degrading and it will get worse. You will have a breakdown potentially miles from home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole circle you took a picture of you should be able to get one from the scrapyard and I imagine the belt will be damaged also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack1996 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Do you reckon that is why the belt is squeaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Yes cos it's not true on the pulley it will end up whipping off and your battery will die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
