Is a Ford Focus 1.6 I Zetec-SE an interference engine?
Jan 16, 2007 by Andy W | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
The Car,an ex-fleet car registered in 2001,has 87k miles on the clock,and from what I can gather,has not had a cam belt change,now the idler is worn and squeaking on start up.A local garage tried to change the belt today,but gave up due to a siezed crankshaft
Yes. All current Ford engines are interference engines. There are actually very few engines that are not. Two that spring to mind are Toyota MR2 and one of the Vauxhall diesels.
You obviously went to a crap garage if they couldn't loosen
