Who changed the timing belt ford kuga. Important information

FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE OF THE TIMING CHAIN

The Ford Kuga timing chain drive is part of the gas distribution mechanism and is involved in the transmission of torque from the crankshaft to the camshaft. The chain can connect them directly or participate in the work indirectly, for example, combining camshafts with each other, if there are two of them, while its functional purpose remains unchanged.

Monitoring the condition of the timing chain, replacing dampers and tensioners, is part of the scheduled maintenance of the car and plays an important role in the operation of the vehicle engine. It is necessary to monitor the condition of the gas distribution system regularly, as this directly affects the vehicle's power, gas supply sensitivity and fuel consumption.

CHAIN ​​REPLACEMENT FEATURES

In most engines of older car models, chains with roller links were used to transmit torque, often the components went in two or three rows, this made the timing chain a very reliable, almost eternal mechanism that did not need constant maintenance. Often the car passed up to 300,000 km. and the chain of the mechanism received only lateral play, and the worst thing that could happen to the gas distribution mechanism was the jumping of links, breaks were extremely rare. Over time, the trend in the creation of cars has become the production price, economy, environmental friendliness and the weight of the car's engine, which affects its power. Under these conditions, manufacturers began to strive to replace the timing chain with a lighter, cheaper and easier to maintain timing belt. And those motors in the design of which the chains were preserved, the roller components were replaced with light plate links, more reliable than timing belts, but still not as strong as roller chains.

The Ford Kuga timing chain has a number of features that radically distinguish it from the timing belt.

1. The chain is a durable mechanism, it wears out much longer than the timing belt, breaks occur, but much less often than for belt-driven engines.

2. An open in the timing chain is quite rare, which means that an engine breakdown that requires an expensive overhaul does not occur often.

3. Timing chains are quite noisy, but with the current level of car sound insulation, this parameter becomes not very important.

4. When the chain wears out, its backlash and transverse runout occur, this indicates the need to replace the old chain with a new one. Since the metal part, sagging and transverse beating is accompanied by strong noise, it is simply impossible not to notice and attach importance to which. Noise under the hood will be the first "call" indicating the need for vehicle maintenance.

5. The main disadvantage of replacing the Ford Kuga timing chain is that it is located inside the cylinder block and it is quite difficult to assess its condition without training and experience. In addition, dismantling and replacement, with such a device, is a long and laborious process, and therefore expensive.

6. Tensioners and dampers are involved in the operation of the timing chain - these are consumable parts that wear out quickly and need more frequent replacements than the timing chain itself.

TYPES OF FAULTS

1. For timing chains, with full serviceability, a natural course is observed, which is compensated by tensioners when oil pressure is applied. A malfunction is considered to be a strong lateral runout of the timing chain, which appears when the links are stretched. It is possible to determine the actual degree of chain stretching only with a qualified inspection of the gas distribution mechanism.

2. Backlash - this is a direct stretching of the chain, which is observed during prolonged operation, can lead to jumping of the chain links and failure of the gas distribution mechanism, this leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of the motor when the gas pedal is pressed and an increase in fuel consumption.

3. Breakage of the timing chain Ford Kuga - is the most dangerous damage to the engine, in the case of a chain drive of the motor, it is not common, but it does happen. In the event of such a malfunction, the camshaft ceases to be connected to the crankshaft and can stop completely arbitrarily in a position in which any of the valves of the gas distribution mechanism is open. In this case, the piston, moving up, may collide with the valve, which will lead to its deformation and the car engine will face serious repairs. It should be noted that an open timing chain does not occur unexpectedly, it is almost always accompanied by changes in the operation of the vehicle, a decrease in its power, a change in gasoline consumption and the occurrence of extraneous noise.

To prevent and prevent the operation of the gas distribution mechanism, it is necessary to periodically troubleshoot the timing chain, this will save the car engine from breakdown, prevent premature engine wear and increase its service life.

CAUSES OF WEAR

1. Operation of the Ford Kuga car in extreme conditions. Frequent driving on dirt roads, towing trailers, heavy loads, driving at high speeds leads to an increase in the load on the crankshaft, spinning it up to maximum speed, which leads to stretching of the timing chain.

2. Since the timing chain is located inside the cylinder block, it is completely washed by engine oil and, as a result, is very sensitive to its quality. In the case of using high-quality synthetic oil, which has specialized detergent additives in its composition, the service life of the timing chain is significantly increased

3. The timing chain involves parts that regulate the chain tension, they are consumables and need to be replaced periodically. During the maintenance of the car, it is necessary to check the degree of wear of the tensioner and the "damper", untimely replacement of these parts can lead to chain stretching and link jumping.

SYMPTOMS

1. Increasing the consumption of gasoline by car;

2. Reducing engine power; 3. The appearance of clanging and noise under the hood of the car with the engine running;

4. A complete stop of the car on the go, when you try to start the engine does not start, and the starter rotates easier than usual;

5. Unstable operation of the Ford Kuga engine at idle and in motion;

6. The occurrence of shots in the injector reservoir and exhaust pipe.

All these problems may indicate a shift in the valve timing and loosening of the chain tension. If you notice one or more signs of this list on your car, immediately contact the service station for an inspection.

HOW OFTEN TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN

The frequency of replacement of any consumables for Ford Kuga vehicles depends on the driving style and mode of operation of the machine. With extreme driving style and aggressive use of the vehicle, it is necessary to replace the timing chain as it becomes loose and worn.

Under normal operating conditions, it is necessary to replace the timing chain as planned, every 100 - 150,000 km. run. If your car has an analog belt, it must be replaced a little earlier than the time recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Trust your car only to professional specialists who are able to competently troubleshoot the timing chain, evaluate lateral runout and play, replace and adjust the operation of tensioners, chain drive dampers and replace the Ford Kuga timing chain.

Racing Service carried out work on replacing the timing belt on a Ford Kuga 2014 TDCI 2.0L 140hp, as well as changing the oil and filters.

The timing of the scheduled replacement of the belt and rollers is set by the automaker, but may differ slightly from those recommended, depending on the operating conditions of the car. Timely maintenance work can extend the life of the main components and assemblies of the car.

In the photo: the old timing belt (looks like new, no cracks or delaminations).

According to the regulations, the replacement of the belt and rollers on the Ford Kuga should be done every 200 thousand kilometers. In severe operating conditions (and such conditions traditionally include the entire territory of our country), it is recommended to replace the engine control timing belt after 150 thousand km. However, the owner of the vehicle decided not to risk it and turned to Racing Service at a mileage of 106,000 km.

The procedure for replacing the timing belt:

- Selection of spare parts. The customer ordered a timing kit and water pump from American manufacturer Gates through Racing Service. We are always ready to help with the choice of spare parts with the best combination of price and quality and recommended for a particular car model.

- Removing the belt, rollers and pump. The parts showed no signs of obvious wear (there were no cracks on the belt, the rollers and the pump rotated without noise and backlash).

- Installation of new parts on the engine, changing oil and filters.

The work of replacing the toothed belt takes an average of 4-4.5 hours. It should be noted that all operations related to the replacement of the timing belt must be carried out exclusively in a car service by qualified specialists and using a special tool. Be careful: improper installation of the timing belt is fraught with serious damage to the power unit, which means that it can lead to the need for costly and time-consuming repairs.

The replacement of the timing belt for a Ford Kuga was carried out with strict observance of the regulations, the car started up without difficulties after the repair, and the client left satisfied.

FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE OF THE TIMING BELT

Timing belt replacement is part of the Ford Kuga's scheduled maintenance and plays an important role in the vehicle's engine performance. Untimely replacement of the belt can lead to a malfunction of the motor, and a break to deformation of the valve of the gas distribution mechanism and the need for an overhaul of the engine.

All parts of the gas distribution mechanism are closely related to each other, the injection of an air-fuel mixture drives the engine cylinder piston, which in turn pushes the crankshaft connected by a drive belt to the camshaft. Thus, there is a movement of the camshaft, which regulates the frequency of movement of the valves. The Ford Kuga timing belt connects gears and transmits torque from the crankshaft to the camshaft, affecting its rotational speed. If the system is working, the frequency of their revolutions should be equal.

TYPES OF FAULTS OF THE TIMING BELT

1. Timing belt wear leads to a change in the torque transmission force from the crankshaft to the camshaft, resulting in a change in the frequency of movement of the pistons and engine valves. This, in turn, leads to a malfunction of the gas distribution system, rapid heating of the engine and, as a result, a decrease in engine power and an increase in the consumption of the fuel mixture. For reliable and trouble-free operation of the motor, it is necessary that the valves close and open at the same frequency as the engine pistons. If, due to wear, the timing belt slips, this can cause a break.
2. A broken timing belt Ford Kuga is the most dangerous damage to the engine. In the event of such a malfunction, the camshaft ceases to be connected to the crankshaft and can stop completely arbitrarily in a position in which any of the valves of the gas distribution mechanism is open. In this case, the piston, moving up, may collide with the valve, which will lead to its deformation. In this case, the car's engine is in danger of serious repairs. It should be noted that a timing belt break does not occur unexpectedly, it is almost always accompanied by changes in the operation of the car engine, a decrease in its power, a change in gasoline consumption, the appearance of extraneous squeaks, squeaks, etc.

To prevent and prevent the operation of the gas distribution mechanism, it is necessary to periodically replace the timing belt, this will save the Ford Kuga car engine from breakdown, prevent premature engine wear and increase its service life.

CAUSES AND ASSESSMENT OF WEAR OF THE TIMING BELT

Timing belt wear occurs for a number of reasons, avoiding which can extend the life of a car engine.

To prevent complete wear of the timing belt, it is necessary periodically, during a visual inspection of the gas distribution mechanism, to check for damage on the surface of the belt. To inspect and evaluate the belt drive, it is necessary to unscrew and remove the protective cover of the mechanism, under which the engine is hidden. The first signs of wear are:

• the appearance of oil and antifreeze smudges that can chemically destroy the timing belt, with prolonged exposure;
• the occurrence of longitudinal cracks on the back surface of the belt;
• the formation of transverse cracks on the inner surface of the drive belt;
• a ragged surface and a violation of the integrity of the edge are also a sign of wear;
• belt wear is also indicated by rubber dust on the surface of the part;
• if the timing belt teeth begin to peel off or wear out, the part must be replaced immediately with a new one.

SYMPTOMS OF A FAULTY TIMING BELT

1. Increased consumption of gasoline by car
2. Decreased engine power
3. Full stop of the car on the go, when you try to start the engine does not start, and the starter rotates easier than usual
4. Unstable operation of the engine at idle and in motion;
5. The occurrence of shots in the injector receiver and exhaust pipe

All these problems may indicate a shift in the valve timing and loosening of the belt tension. If you notice one or more signs of this list on your Ford Kuga car, immediately contact the service station for an inspection.

HOW OFTEN TO REPLACE A Ford Kuga Timing Belt

The frequency of replacement of any consumables for cars depends on the style of driving and the mode of operation of the car. With extreme driving style and aggressive use of the vehicle, it is necessary to replace the timing belt as it wears out and the teeth wear out.

Under normal operating conditions, it is necessary to replace the original timing belt as scheduled, every 60 - 70,000 km. run. During this period, it develops its resource and becomes unusable. If your Ford Kuga has an analog belt, it should be replaced a little earlier than the time recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

WHICH TIMING BELT IS BETTER TO CHOOSE

Modern belts for the gas distribution system are a high-tech product, characterized by increased strength and wear resistance, capable of withstanding high dynamic loads. Timing belts are produced from neoprene or polychloroprene reinforced with strong fiberglass, nylon and cotton cords.

1. To avoid the mistake associated with buying a timing belt, contact the specialists who will help you order a timing belt suitable for your car engine using the WIN code of your car. This part is one of the most important in the design of the motor, the slightest deviation in the length, width, shape and size of the teeth can lead to malfunctions in the Ford Kuga engine.
2. Do not try to save money when buying a timing belt, a cheap product can be a low-quality fake that will quickly become unusable and can cause serious engine damage in the future. The best option for any car are original parts, their cost is higher than analog ones, but they quickly pay for themselves during the operation of the car.
3. When buying a timing belt, check it for stiffness, a good belt should be elastic and bend easily. The worse the belt, the more rigid it will be.
4. The presence of teeth, sagging, pores on the belt is not allowed - these are signs of a poor-quality belt that will quickly become unusable. The surface of the product must be smooth, small burrs are allowed.
5. When buying on your own, check the timing belt part number printed on the back, it must match the WIN code of the car. If it is not possible to compare the code of the belt and the car, then it is necessary to make a visual comparison of the old and new belts, they must be completely identical.
6. To avoid buying a fake, try to purchase spare parts only from authorized, trusted dealers.
7. Do not save on a qualified timing belt replacement, contact our certified car service, where competent mechanics will help with the repair of a Ford Kuga car. And in the spare parts store you can buy original spare parts for your car.

Ford Fusion Timing Belt Replacement Procedure

Sometimes owners Ford Fusion learn what the timing belt is when it's too late, after it breaks. However, this is a very important part, which is part of the gas distribution mechanism, connecting the shafts and making them move. It is located on the left side of the motor, along the body. For its production rubber and rubber of high-quality work are used. The inner part of the belt has special teeth, as it is put on several rollers at the same time. For some reason, it may fail and become unusable, which is the reason for replacement. Today we will talk about how to replace the timing belt yourself, when it needs to be done, and what are the consequences for the Ford Fusion if this process is ignored.

Replacement timing belt is a rather complicated matter and requires a long period. In fairness, it should be noted that rarely anyone can afford such a job. If you are confident in your abilities, then proceed with the replacement, otherwise ask someone more experienced to help. In addition, if you have to do this for the first time, then it is better to put Ford Fusion to the garage and set aside a day to service it. Replacement will require you to have a certain set of tools and spare parts, among which are:

1. Timing belts, alternator, pump.
2. Tension roller.
3. Crankshaft pulley bolt (40 mm long).
4. Torque and a set of other keys.
5. Bolt for setting the crankshaft at TDC and using it for marking.
6. Device for fastening the flywheel of the crankshaft.
7. Shaft fixing device.
8. The key is dynamometric.

When do you need to replace?

Automobile Ford Fusion designed with a focus on the European market. It's not a secret for anyone, the climate there is quite mild, the quality of fuel and roads is excellent, which is not true of the statement about our country. Therefore, the maintenance schedule will not correspond to that specified by the manufacturer. Company Ford advises that the timing belt should be replaced every 160,000 km. It is better for us to reduce the interval to 100,000 km.

Many often have a misunderstanding of how climate can affect belt Timing. The real one remains simple for our client, because in winter the engine may not start immediately and it takes longer to turn the starter. This creates an increased load on the cold belt, which eventually breaks down faster. In addition, even with a small mileage, the belt may fail if Ford Fusion is operated in big cities, where there are always a lot of traffic jams.

It is impossible to ignore the replacement under any circumstances, since this leads to an irreparable result. If belt worn out and continues to work, it may break. For a car, such a breakdown quite often means bending the valves and damaging the pistons. You can fix this breakdown only by overhauling the FordFusion motor, the cost of which is very high.

Features of replacing the timing belt

Armed with the necessary tools, proceed to replace the timing belt. On the Ford Fusion, it's done like this:

1. We remove the belts of the air conditioner, generator and other devices.
2. Remove the generator and expansion tank. It can simply be pushed aside, leaving it on its mounts.
3. Under the engine substitutes a reliable and strong support.
4. We dismantle the suspension support from the front axle of the Ford Fusion. For this purpose, you need to unscrew the bolts and nuts securing the motor to the mudguard.
5. We unscrew the bolts securing the water pump pulley and remove it.
6. Dismantle the suspension support bracket. For this purpose, you need to unscrew 3 bolts.
7. We remove the protective cover of the timing belt, which is mounted on several bolts. Then we put the neutral gear and turn the crankshaft to the required level.
8. Removing the cylinder block Ford Fusion and install the fixing device, while scrolling the crankshaft by its fastening bolt until it contacts the rod.
9. We fix the camshaft, preventing it from turning. For this purpose, you use special devices that need to be put in the grooves. The linear mark should match the top of the part of the unfamiliar camshaft, and the dot mark should match the intake.
10. We pull the handbrake to fix the crankshaft of the engine to prevent it from spinning.
11. We unscrew the fasteners of the pulley to the toe of the crankshaft and dismantle the pulley. The mounting bolt can be replaced.
12. We unscrew the bolts securing the protective cover and dismantle the belt. For this purpose, it is necessary to loosen its tension by moving the leading branch to the side in full. The tensioner pulley will return to its original position, in which it needs to be fixed with metal rods.

Now there is a direct replacement of the belt. Be extremely careful not to let the Ford Fusion crankshaft spin when it has no belt. If it still turns, then this may be the cause of valve failure.
