    The petrols and the 2.0 diesel are the only wet belt engines in the MK4/ MK4.5

    The Focus Mk4 and MK4.5 don't use a wet timing belt in any of the engine's with the exception of the 2.0 EcoBlue.

    The Ecoboost does use a wet belt for the oil pump.

    Which is what I meant, I class any engine that uses a wet belt for anything timing or otherwise as a wet belt engine this means by my definition, the wet belts driving the oil pumps on the ecoboosts still makes them a wet belt engine even though their timing is now a chain.
