Just wondering if the 1.4 litre eco boost has a welt belt the same as the 1.0 litre and should I avoid these cars because of it's wet belt?

    Ford has never produced a 1.4 ECOboost.

    For the European market Ford has only produced:

    * 3-cylinder 1.0 ECOboost Fox engine family (1st generation).
    * 3-cylinder 1.0 ECOboost Fox engine family (2nd generation).
    * 3-cylinder 1.0 ECOboost Mild Hybrid Fox engine family (2nd generation).
    * 3-cylinder 1.5 ECOboost Dragon engine family.
    * 4 cylinder 1.6 ECOboost Sigma engine family.
    * 4-cylinder 1.5 ECOboost Sigma engine family.
    * 4-cylinder 2.0 ECOboost (Mazda) L engine family.
    * 4-cylinder 2.3 ECOboost (Mazda) L engine family.


    The 1st generation of the 3-cylinder 1.0 ECOboost has 2 wetbelts (from crankshaft to camshafts and from crankshaft to oil pump).

    The 2nd generation of the 3-cylinder 1.0 ECOboost has a single (from crankshaft to oil pump) and a chain (from crankshaft to camshafts).

    Very early versions of the 3-cylinder 1.5 ECOboost have a sprocket driven oil pump and a dry cambelt. At the beginning of 2019 Ford changed this to a wetbelt driven oil pump and a dry cambelt.


    None of the 4-cylinder ECOboost engines do have a wetbelt. The 1.6 and 1.5 ECOboost 4-cylinder engines have a dry cambelt. The 2.0 and 2.3 ECOboost 4-cylinder engines have a timing chain.

    ? Is this not chain cam drive?
