Dayco is the world’s largest OE timing belt manufacturer and has used this OE expertise to provide an aftermarket solution for replacing the belt on this hugely popular engine.

 

As Ford’s power transmission supply partner, Dayco designed the world’s first belt in oil drive system, when in 2008, it developed the engineering solution to supersede the previous chain driven high pressure injection pump for this engine, which has been widely used to power various Fiesta, Focus, C-Max, S-Max, Mondeo, Galaxy, Tourneo Connect and Transit Connect models between 1998 and 2011.

 

As the timing drive system on this engine is driven from the injection pump, the performance of the injection pump drive system is crucial and as this can often not be substantiated, Dayco has developed the belt in oil replacement cartridge, which completely substitutes the chain driven system for the latest belt in oil system.

 

Therefore, in addition to the belt itself, the cartridge also includes the corresponding belt pulleys to enable the technician to update the engine and remove and replace the original chain driven sprockets and all other evidence of the chain-driven system.

 

This provides a convenient and cost effective long-term solution for this increasingly common repair, ensuring the long term safety and performance of the power unit.

 

The new Ford ‘Lynx’ Belt in Oil cartridge solution was just one of many innovations being introduced on the Dayco stand at Automechanika.
