Firstly, high to everyone. 

Looking to get a Fiesta ST Line x mhev 155hp and just wanted some advice / info.

I'm pretty sure all of the have the cam chain not the wet belt and identified by black cover at rear not metal cover at front. But apparently there's still a wet belt for something else. 

Have attached pic of actual car engine. Can someone confirm I've got right info please. Screenshot_20240625_154356_AutoTrader.thumb.jpg.d7bbd7f1ac561f3c3235735360e0b93b.jpg

    They still have wet belt oil pump drive which specify replacing at 10 yrs 140000 miles. Replacing the belt would need removing the cam chain anyway so guess that should be replaced at the same time.

    cam chain engines should be less likely to fail or clog the oil ways but wouldn’t scrimp on the servicing and NO use of engine flushing oil.
