The Ford 2.0 EcoBlue engine features on many larger Ford car models as well as the ever popular Ford Transit van. Because of this, many of these engines do high mileages and the need to change the timing belt can occur. To provide an effective solution for this repair, Continental offers the CT1257K1 timing belt kit, to keep everything running smoothly. 


The kit is the most convenient and effective way to replace the timing belt, containing all necessary components, such as a tensioner pulley, as well as the small parts and bolts needed for fitting. The kit is additionally available in a PRO version for some models, and this also includes a second, smaller belt for driving the oil pump.

The Ford 2.0 EcoBlue features belt-in-oil technology, meaning its timing belt runs in an oil bath. This reduces frictional losses, which has a positive effect on fuel consumption and noise levels. However, if a belt has not been specially optimized for such applications, even the tiniest impurities in the oil – such as soot particles or crystalline compounds can cause parts of the belt to break away and possibly damage the engine. The CT1257 features a special material composition designed to prevent that, making it a robust and durable belt that transmits power reliably. It can also handle the high load requirements in these vehicle with ease.

Fitting belts on belt-in-oil engines is a challenging job. However, Continental can make the process more straight forward with its Tool Box V09. This contains the main tools professional mechanics require for working on the Ford EcoBoost engine, the 2.0 EcoBlue engine and the 1.2 PureTech units from Opel and other Stellantis brands. As such it makes an excellent addition to a workshop’s equipment.
