The oil bath belt of the Ford Fiesta Ecoboost 1.0

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 7, MK VII, Fiesta 7 - Years 2017-2023
Part: Timing belt

In this video, we see a 2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost with a timing belt immersed in oil. In fact, Ford has also produced engines with this controversial distribution system, although designed in a very different way from that of PSA. However, as we can see, it is a system that, despite not having the problems that other designs have, is very delicate and when it reaches 130,000 kilometers where the belt replacement is required, it is necessary to dismantle half of the car to make the replacement. Since 2019, some Ford engines have started to use a chain, for engines with code B7JA with 125hp or MOJB with 95hp. Starting from 2022, all mild hybrid Fiesta models will have a distribution chain.
