Not sure about the Focus.
1.0 ecoboost timing chain or belt check
Can't understand why this thread has still got legs If you go round the back of your car and it has the word PUMA on the tail gate, then it has a timing chain.
Ford would not launch a new car with a brand new production line, and then ten minutes later have to change it all for a heavily revised engine.

Is the oil pump driven of the timing chain ?
Or is it wet belt driven.
I know people may be pi##ed of me asking but heard different accounts keep popping up ?
Thanks for you patience

AFAIK the oil pump drive is still wet belt. It will be of an improved design of belt and tensioner compared to earlier 1.0 Ecoboost engines.Francis1960 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 12:45 pm Is the oil pump driven of the timing chain ?

Hi there,
Can I ask why you think the oil pump is driven by a wet belt?
Serious question - as it seems odd to me that they would move the cam to being chain driven and still have a wet belt that will need changing for the oil pump.
This alters my view on how long I might keep the car for example.
