EvanFord Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi I was wondering if the Ford Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost (connected base version) from 2020 has a timing belt or chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi Evan, Afaik the chain came in from early in 2020 so it will depend when yours was built. Easiest way to check is to post up a pic of your engine then we can identify it for you, but here's a pic of my timing belt engine which may help: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess when this fiesta and many more were built. Did suprise me when I opened bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think I first saw mention of MHEV (and therefore chain, presumably) on the January 2020 Fiesta list. But MHEV was only shown on the 125/155. I'm guessing the lower powered Ecoboost (which seems to keep bouncing between 95 and 100 ps depending on which list you look at) might have continued with a belt for some time?

unofix Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thought I could see a date code on the engine. Or I'm just guessing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's when the engine was built. Car was built end Nov . It's the first one I've seen in a long time. And yes, 100hp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanFord Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 It perhaps explains why i hear a bit of a metal buzzing sound when the engine is cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackney Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I would have thought the sensible thing to do would check the maintenance schedule in your service book.It will say in the schedule whether it has to be changed.The Cam belt is a 240,000km or 10years.If it has a chain,it would undoubtedly mention that in the service requirement.

Other than the 1.5 ST all the UK Pumas are 1.0 MHEV of either 125 or 155ps so will be the revised engine with chain and reversed head.
