Timing Marks on the Engine of a Ford Ecosport TDCi 1.5

Model: Ford Ecosport BK, MK 1 - Years 2012-2023
Part: Timing belt

In this video, see how to set the engine timing after changing the timing belt. The most common issue is the difficulty in restoring the correct position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft; incorrect synchronisation can lead to serious damage, and achieving perfect synchronisation is a very important concern. Manufacturers establish references that are not always clear and intuitive; sometimes they are masked by other mechanical elements or require a reference mask to be inserted. From the video, you can clearly see the references for the Ecosport 1.5 TDCi.
