About the Ford 1.0 EcoBoost

The 1.0 EcoBoost is Ford’s small three-cylinder turbo petrol engine, used in a long list of Fords. Instead of a dry cambelt behind an outer cover, it uses a wet belt that runs inside the engine and is lubricated by the engine oil.

Ford Focus

Why the belt matters

As the wet belt ages it can break down, and pieces of belt material can collect in the sump and block the strainer on the oil pick-up. Less oil reaches the engine, oil pressure drops, and if it is not dealt with the engine can be badly damaged.

How much does a Ford 1.0 EcoBoost wet belt cost in Hereford?

Ford 1.0 EcoBoost wet belt replacement starts from £750. The exact price depends on your car and what it needs, and is confirmed in your quote.

What are the signs of a worn EcoBoost wet belt?

Look out for the oil pressure warning light, the engine management light, reduced power, unusual engine noise, or black specks of belt material on the dipstick or in the oil.

Can I keep driving with the oil pressure light on?

No. An oil pressure warning means the engine may not be getting enough oil. Stop as soon as it is safe, switch off and do not keep driving.

Why does the oil matter on an EcoBoost?

The wet belt sits in the engine oil, so the oil has to meet Ford's specification for your engine. The wrong oil, or oil changes left too long, can speed up belt wear.
