I am being told about echo boom should be worried Yes, if it's a 1 liter or 1.5 engine, they have a 'wet belt' system, which is prone to failure even when correctly maintained. What engine is your prospective car? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 A '71 plate Fiesta may have the later chain driven 1.0 engine. But as far as I'm aware the Ecosport never got the chain engine as it was so close to production ending. If you have an engine bay picture we can confirm which it has. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure you're right there, Tom, for the reason you mention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
