Wi1189 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hey all, hoping for good news. Is the 2016 1.0 titanium X ford focus an interference or non-interference engine? Timing belt as gone at about 20mph just as I had enquired about getting it replaced the other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Interference, engine will be scrap financially. Cheaper to source a used engine and fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as I feared, not my first timing belt to snap on me but I fear this is going to be much more expensive the the 700 I paid the last time.

These use a wet belt that runs in oil, flushes can degrade the belt prematurely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy woodbridge Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Would 100 % be buggered? Is there any chance to salvage it? Could take the head off and have a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a ***** timing belt on a previous car (driving along a dual at 70mph) and had to get valves replaced, this car I was doing 15mph if you're lucky as I was U turning with traffic blocking my way so I'll wait and see. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
