The distribution system of the Ford 2.4 TDCi H9FA engine is driven by a double-row chain that connects four sprockets: crankshaft (lower), oil pump (offset below), camshaft (upper), and high-pressure diesel pump. The chain is guided by a fixed upper guide and tensioned by a lateral hydraulic tensioner.

The synchronization requires the alignment of references on the crankshaft, camshaft, and oil pump before releasing the tensioner: the offset oil pump requires attention during installation: it often has a one-way alignment key; the hydraulic tensioner must be installed locked and unlocked only after checking all references.

The guides, especially the fixed upper one, should be replaced if worn.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
