FORD FUSION TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT PRICES

The process of replacing the timing belt in a Ford Fusion car is lengthy, it will take a professional about 2 hours. Despite the seeming simplicity, we strongly do not recommend that you carry out the process of replacing the timing belt on your own, in garage conditions. Don't skimp on Ford Fusion repairs. This requires experience, as well as a set of special ford tools: camshaft and crankshaft locating pins and flywheel retainer.

A step-by-step process for replacing a timing belt with a Ford Fusion can be found on the pages of motorist forums, as well as in a printed instruction manual. At the same time, some important points to be considered when replacing the timing belt. So, for example, when the belt is removed, you cannot rotate the engine shafts by hand, so as not to knock down the valve settings. Before work, we advise you to temporarily remove the candles. And, of course, the replacement of the timing should be carried out only with the battery disconnected.

Unscheduled timing belt replacement

In some cases, it is impossible to continue driving the car, because. the timing belt is in critical condition. If you notice oil leaks on the timing belt, or cracks, delaminations, or obviously worn teeth on the inside of the belt, then it must be replaced immediately. At any moment, it can burst, while the remains of the belt can get into the rotating elements of the mechanism, causing jamming. In the best case, the belt will simply remain nearby, otherwise it may come to a major overhaul of the Ford engine.

Signs of a weak timing belt

Of course, not every Ford Fusion car owner regularly looks under the hood to check the condition of the timing belt, especially from the inside. But this is always done by the masters in the car service when undergoing Ford maintenance after Ford Fusion diagnostics.

However, without waiting for a visit to a car service, you can independently notice some that indirectly indicate a weak timing belt tension:

excessive fuel consumption (at least compared to previous periods of the car's life);
loss of engine power, poor acceleration.

These signs may be the cause of other Ford Fusion "diseases", such as a clogged fuel filter. Then you need to replace the Ford Fusion fuel filter. Only Ford computer diagnostics will accurately determine the cause.

Timing belt stability

Despite the fact that the timing belt "winds" hundreds of kilometers during its service life, in fact it is quite fragile. Despite the fact that the belt is based on strong cord threads, the material of the belt itself is elastic rubber. The combination of these two materials gives the timing belt tremendous wear resistance as long as it is properly tensioned during replacement.

Moreover, the rubber that is used in the manufacture of the Ford Fusion timing belt is prone to destruction when in contact with aggressive substances, such as gasoline and automobile oil. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, if you notice traces of fuels and lubricants on the Ford Fusion timing belt, get ready to replace it.

In order for the vehicle to function normally, all of its components must be in working order. And although foreign cars do not break down as often as domestic ones, from time to time they require some maintenance and repair. Therefore, now we will tell you how the timing belt is replaced on the Ford Fusion, how often it needs to be done and what is needed for this.

In what cases is a replacement necessary?

When should the timing belt be changed? Such a replacement question occurred to every Ford Fusion owner. And not for nothing, because the gas distribution mechanism is a very important unit of the vehicle. If you do not change it in time, it can simply break off, as a result of which the operation of the vehicle will be impossible. So when should you change? The timing of the replacement is written in the service manual for the car.

However, domestic dealers advise Ford Fusion car owners to do this at least every 120 or even 100 thousand kilometers. But sometimes an element needs to be changed earlier. When? In the following cases:

if the timing belt is already worn out enough and this can be seen from its outer surface;
it's time to change when cracks appeared on the strap (this is especially noticeable when it is bent);
when oil marks began to appear on the part;
you need to change it when other defects are visible on the surface of the element (for example, the strap began to exfoliate).

Replacement instructions

We are preparing a toolkit

To, you will need:

star key;
set of wrenches;
screwdrivers;
set of heads;
torque wrench.

Wrenches and sockets

3. Long screwdriver

Stages

To carry out the replacement work, you will need an assistant:

First, jack up the front right wheel and remove it. After that, dismantle the motor protection and raise it slightly by substituting the support.
Using an asterisk wrench, unscrew the screws with which the fender liner is attached, dismantle it. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the self-tapping screws of the anther, behind which the crankshaft disk is hidden.
Loosen the screws on the air filter housing. When this is done, pry and remove the clamp to the side, and then dismantle the air pipe. Remove the filter cover.
Using a wrench, unscrew the screws that secure the antifreeze tank, remove it. You will also need to dismantle the tank in which it is located.
Using a wrench head, unscrew the nuts of the motor support, as well as the screws that secure it to the body. The motor support can be dismantled. After that, unscrew the screws securing the antifreeze pump. Then unscrew the screws securing the generator and dismantle the device or turn it slightly to the side.
Now you need to remove the nine screws that secure the strap cover. The protective cover can be removed. Then, when the motor support is dismantled, unscrew the screws of its fastening, and remove the bracket to the side.
Next, remove and lay aside the high voltage spark plug cables. Unscrew the plastic air filter guides. Also unscrew the screws that secure the valve cover. The spark plug of the first cylinder must be dismantled, and a plastic tube (at least 25 cm long) must be inserted in its place. Now you need to turn the crankshaft disk clockwise, while watching the movement of the tube. The piston of the cylinder on which the tube is installed must be set to the top dead center position.
Then you should unscrew the plug screw, which is located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe drain hole of the motor fluid. A 4.5 cm long screw should be inserted in its place. In this case, the crankshaft should be turned, and the screw itself should be turned until the crankshaft hits it. Distribution pulleys must be fixed with metal plates.
Now put the assistant behind the wheel and turn on the first speed, while the assistant's foot should be on the gas pedal. When this is the case, the crankshaft disc screw should be removed. Having done this, the disc can be dismantled, and then remove the lower timing belt guard. Then the unscrewed screw of the crankshaft must be tightened again and turn the pulley clockwise until it rests on the fixing screw (turn on the neutral speed).
Timing pulley sprockets and mechanism strap, as well as crankshaft strap and sprocket, must be marked.
Unscrew the roller fixing screw and dismantle it. Tags from the old strap should be transferred to the new one.
Next, you need to install a new element. Pay special attention to all the marks: they must be aligned not only on the strap, but also on the gears of the pulleys. Depress the roller and pull the strap over the teeth.
Now you need to install the lower part of the protective cover in place. Mount the pulley, then tighten the screw. Be careful when doing this, as there is a chance of bending the fixing screw, so do not apply too much force.
Next, you will need to turn on the first speed. Having done this, unscrew the fixing screw, and then dismantle the plate, which also served as the fixer. When this is done, you can completely tighten the screw of the crankshaft pulley. Here you will need a torque wrench to correctly calculate the moment. The tightening torque must be 45 Nm, after which the screw must be tightened again by 90 degrees.
Make a few turns of the crankshaft and again set the piston to its highest point. On this, in principle, all the main work is completed. Perform all assembly steps in reverse order.

As you can see, replacing the timing belt with a Ford Fusion is quite laborious. Many procedures must be performed before reaching the replacement part. Therefore, immediately decide - can you afford it? Can you do everything on your own? Or perhaps it makes sense to turn to professionals for help?

Video "How to change the timing belt on a Ford Focus 2"

How to change the timing belt on a Ford Focus 2 at home - look at the video.

The scheduled replacement of the Ford Fusion timing belt is usually carried out with runs far over one hundred thousand kilometers, however, for our regions, the manufacturer has reduced the guaranteed mileage, and the saying “You can’t spoil the porridge with oil” is most welcome here - it’s easier to change than to bite your elbows later.

Given:

Automobile:
- Year of issue: 2010
- Engine: 1.6l
- ICE Features: Gasoline
- Gearbox: Automatic
- Drive: Front
- Mileage: 73500

Required:

With all adjacent elements

First of all, we drive the car to the sink so as not to wipe the body with working clothes: it’s not aesthetically pleasing, and you’ll save enough clothes and scratch the paint in no time.

Swing the air filter housing aside.

Next, remove the ignition coils and valve cover.

The picture under the hood is very pleasing, it is immediately clear that the oil was not only changed on time, but also chosen according to tolerance - no dirt, no deposits.

Next in line is the attachment belt and the right support, without removing which you cannot get to the Ford Fusion timing belt.

The obstacles have been removed, we are getting to the side plastic protection, it is also the timing belt cover. The main function of the design is protection from dirt, dust and technical fluids, yet several thousand revolutions per minute are no joke.

As you can see, the timing belt is still alive, albeit battered by life, even the markings have been preserved.

The bracket of the right support prevents the camshaft gears from being unscrewed, so we also unscrew it for now and put it aside.

We fix the camshafts with a special bar, which is inserted from the opposite side of the gears.

We repeat the procedure for the crankshaft with the only difference being that a special screw acts as a stopper.

Now you can safely change the Ford Fusion timing belt - the marks will not run away, the valves will not suffer. Let's start with the top of the gas distribution system.

We remove the camshaft gears for under them.

We substitute the container and unscrew the pump. No matter how much antifreeze is removed before this, a part will spill anyway. There are no direct indications for replacing the water pump, but it’s easier to change it right away since we’re here than to repeat the entire disassembly and assembly procedure later.

Set the pump aside. It seems like a trifle, but at the collection point for non-ferrous and ferrous metals it is well quoted.

We are waiting for the antifreeze to stop flowing - a good reason to drink a cup of coffee.

In general, the procedure for replacing a timing belt is not so much complicated as time-consuming: a bunch of bolts, attachments, a crankshaft pulley, oil seals, gaskets, belts and rollers, everything falls under distribution.

Here it is, the apogee of the work, the checkpoint, after which it remains to repeat the same steps, but in reverse order. Let's start with the pump. Gasket, of course, new, supplied in the kit.

To begin with, we put on the pump, bait the bolts and check how the gasket has become, after which we arm ourselves with a torque wrench and carefully stretch the connections.

Next in line is a new crankshaft seal. The manufacturer recommends original spare parts, but many analogues work just as well, the main thing is to install it correctly.

We carefully press in a new oil seal, check that it does not protrude beyond the surface of the mating plane.

We return the crankshaft gear to its place.

Let's move on to replacing the timing belt Ford Fusion. It is sold both individually and as sets. The latter option is not only cheaper, but it includes the tensioner and all the bolts. Yes, yes, the timing system bolts are disposable, you can’t save on such trifles.

First of all, we fasten the tensioner, but do not remove the retainer yet.

Armed with new camshaft seals. They are supplied with a special lubricant.

We arm ourselves with an installation spacer and carefully press in the seals. Now you don’t have to worry that oil from old seals will get on the timing belt and drastically reduce its service life.

We install the Ford Fusion timing belt in place, after which we pull out the pin that blocks the tensioner, remove the camshaft and crankshaft clamps. We make several turns of the crankshaft and, just in case, check the coincidence of the marks. They have nowhere to run away, but to calm their conscience, you should not neglect the procedure.
