Hi All,,
I'm sorry if this question has been already asked,,,
I've been reading an awful lot about the troubles with the 'WetBelt System' in the EcoBoost Engine latley in the media..
Evidently the WetBelt shredes & disintigreats over time & the cast off material ends up blocking valves and can ruin the engine.
This disables the BRAKES !! Plus the WetBelt can snap leaving you stranded. Then i heard a Very hefty bill to repair.
I've got a Ford Puma First Edition ST Line 125 HP version,, 2019/20 Reg..
Has anyone got any info' on this please. Is there a recall ? as Ford seem to have now owned this fault.
Thank you for any & all info'. John.

Thank you Rizmo, Can you tell me why so many people are complaining about the EcoBoost engine. I have no knowledge myself, My puma ST Line 125hp drives Beautifully But i've been seeing many, many folks are convinced there's a design error in the engine. Have some models got rubber belts all round , if so when did that change to Chain belts,, Once again thank you so much..

The eco boost engine has been around for years in various models/ sizes/ countries . Its pre Puma engines (like those in say a Bmax or ecosport) and probably only certain year groups that are affected
If you are worried speak to your local dealer as Rizmo said and they should be able to answer all your technical questions regarding the issue.
I'm not sure if Ford have actually just issued a recall for the affected models.
if it helps my cousin had a Bmax with over 120k on it and not had any issues.
I think my van has a wet belt and that has 128k on it, belt is due at 150k

)From what I’ve researched it’s only the oil pump belt that’s wet belt. If serviced properly shouldn’t be an issue.
My puma STline has 37000km on it and is driving like a dream. But only just bought it from ford dealer.
When I take it for its service I will be asking about the oil pump belt.

In your position I'd probably get it serviced earlier for peace of mind regarding the oil pump belt.Joelski wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 7:15 am From what I’ve researched it’s only the oil pump belt that’s wet belt. If serviced properly shouldn’t be an issue.

This was covered on the one show tonight

It was indeed, I watched it.
The programme started at 7pm so the article was possibly not even finshed yet at the time you made your post.
