Wet timing belt on the 1.0 EcoBoost
Severity 3/3 · SeriousThe 1.0 EcoBoost in the Courier is one of the engines whose belt runs in oil (Torqd, Apexx Engines, Andrews Car Centre). As it degrades, the belt releases particles into the oil circuit; Fiches-auto explains that this debris can block the strainer and stop the engine being lubricated. Torqd estimates the replacement at between £450 and £850 for a Connect or a Courier. Ask for service invoices and for oil that meets Ford's recommendations.
