How Do I Change The Drivebelt On My Fiesta 1.4I 2003 Model

[Bagpuss12]

My wife reports that the power steering hasn't been working properly and also tells me that the belt has been screeching which amongst other things generates the power steering pump. Pleaee can someone advise me how to change this?? I'm assuming there is some kind of tensioner involved??

There is no tensioner on the 1.25 or the 1.4 the only mk6 engine to have one is the 1.3.

So your old belt will have to be cut off.

When you buy a new belt it should come as a kit with several special tools(I'd advise buying oem part from ford parts department)

I have taken snapshots of the procedure from workshop manual, I will pm them to you.

Hope you find them helpful.
