Timing Belt Replacement
Model: Ford Focus
MK 1
- Years 1998-2004
Before proceeding with the removal of the timing belt, drain the cooling system using the appropriate plugs located under the radiator, as the water pump will also need to be removed. Then, remove the battery, the air filter housing, and the rocker cover (this will help you visualise the timing reference).
Next, begin the actual disassembly of the timing system by placing a jack under the engine to support it while removing the mount. Once the engine mount is removed, take off the timing belt cover, the auxiliary belt (loosening the corresponding tensioner), the water pump pulley, and the pump itself to replace it with a new one. Rotate the crankshaft pulley to align the timing references and lock them, then proceed to disassemble and replace the timing kit: timing belt, tensioner, and idler pulley.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?
To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container. by ScegliAuto More videos
