It will be chain. The design changed with the introduction of the Puma
Has this happened to all 1.0 eco boost engines do you know (2020 onwards)? im looking at a 1.0T focus active edition 2020 and not sure it has a chain or a belt
Not sure about the Focus.

:roll: 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 ?

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.

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.
